Failure should not be the main focus

Failure should not be the main focus, but what you do onwards can be detrimental to the course of your life

Determination is one of the keys to success. Often times, people know exactly what they need to do in order to achieve the life that they want but aren't able to make it happen. One big reason is that they give up too early. No one ever said reaching your dreams is going to be easy. In fact, it's hard and that's why most people fail to live the life that they want. Other people and things can stop you temporarily. You are the only one who can do it permanently. When I thought I couldn't go on, I forced myself to keep going. My success is based on persistence, not luck.

 The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed. We all get hit and knocked down in life. It's just part of the experience but it's really not about avoiding these hits; it's about being able to get back up every time you are knocked down. It's not always easy to want to get back up. Often times, it's a lot easier to just stay down but whether you stay down or get back up, life will still go on so you might as well fight. No one can go back and make a new brand start. Anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
