“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,
