“If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you don’t.
If you like to win, but you think you can’t,
It is almost certain you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost,
For out in the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow’s will –
It’s all in the state of MIND.

If you think you’re outclassed, you are,
You’ve got to think high to rise,
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.

Life’s battles, don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man
But soon or later the man who wins
Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!” - extracted from Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill

I read a story of a man who sells balloon in a park found a good a way of selling his balloon. He would pump air into the balloon and release it into the sky and children will drag their parents to buy a balloon for them. There was a boy who has been watching the event for some time and eventually he was able to persuade his parent to go with him to the balloon man. The boy then said "Sir I have a question" and the man asked him to go on. He said he has been watching for some time that when he released the white balloon it went up into the sky. When he released the red balloon it went up into the sky. when he released the green balloon it went up, what would happen if he released a black balloon into the air, would it go up into the sky? The man replied "It is not the colour of the balloon, it is the content of the balloon" I hope you get my message.

Let me recite this poem

---

I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However, I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.

For Life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why you must bear the task.

I worked for a menial’s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid.” - Jessie B. Rittenhouse

There is a difference between failure as an event and failure as an individual also, there is a difference between success as an individual an success as an event.

The dictionary says success is achieving a goal. Ok I agree with it,

What if I set a goal to make a million dollars within the next six month and in six months I made a million dollars you would say I succeed. YES, i did but what if I stole the 1 million dollars, am I a success or a fraud as a person?

Do not internalize your failure, learn your lesson from your failure and move on. I have more respect for a person who does something and fails compared to a person who does not try because of fear to try. The person who fails to try is a failure as an individual.

Take a practical step to turn your dreams into reality. Things don't always work out the first time. I have failed in several events but I have succeeded so many times. When you work hard and take actions, be persistent. Things don't always work out the first time.

If you try 99 times and it did not work out, the one-time success will compensate for all

Please do not settle for less, the future is colourful, there is no limitation anywhere

If you determine that you would be a success, you would succeed. but if you have a poor mind, you are a failure as an individual.
