Be as Shy as Lucille Ball and as Stupid as Thomas Edison!
Huh?
Almost every successful person has failed first before they were successful. They did not give up and persevered even when others did not believe in them.
Anyone that has tried and failed knows the feeling of defeat. It is the ones that get back up and persevere that know the feeling of success. Choose your path.
I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. ~Michael Jordan
Following your dreams can be risky, and even frightening. Many people give up before they accomplish those dreams. It is a path that seems long, steep, treacherous, and unattainable. For some of those people, those dreams DO fit into those categories. But, that is not a reason to give up.
It just means hold on tight, pack a lunch, and prepare for a long journey. With the right attitude, hard work, perseverance, and determination you can get to the end of the road.
With ordinary talent and extraordinary perseverance, all things are attainable. ~Thomas Foxwell Buxton
