Failure and persistence = SUCCESS

Watching the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award show on tv just shows you that in order to succeed you need many things but two of the most important things you need are failure and persistence. In trying to achieve anything in our lives, whether it be weight-loss or a career goal we will face failure, it is inevitable. Our perception of failure is wrong. Some of our greatest "failures" and "rejections" turn out to be major turning points in our lives that spurred us on to greater things.

We also cannot give up. So many things can be achieved if we just persist and never give up, the worst it seems.

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”
― Calvin Coolidge
