The fat lady is singing! Congratulations Steemians.
My last post ended with It ain't over until the fat lady - Netcoins - does it validation check.
Now Steem won. It was nice to see these words:

                                              .#1 Steem
                                     Winner of Free Listing On Netcoins

Isn't it great that Steemians persevered.

This success reminded me of a quote from Albert Einstein:
"You never fail until you stop trying”.

• Failure is when one never tried at all.
• Failure is "throwing in the towel"- to early. If someone gives up or quits then they will never know if the next attempt would have been successful. If the just time and inevitable circumstances could have changed their luck.

Our society would be have been quiet different if there weren’t people who kept trying. For example:

1. Thomas Edison – he had 1000 unsuccessful attempts at creating the light bulb
2. Beethoven – he was told he has no hope at being successful playing the violin and composing
3. Babe Ruth who made more strike outs than home runs
   ..the examples are endless.

If one perseveres and keeps trying - one will experience so much while doing so. However the desire to win must be present; then the journey is priceless. All the experiences will make life challenging, colorful and fulfilling - the good the bad and the ugly experiences! All will be worth it.
If one tries - one will learnt so much in the process. Hence one would have grown and developed.
Irrespective of what happens one would not have a dull existence – this is a part of life and living deliberately.
SUCCESS is sweeter when we strive for it. Not giving up at the first sign of potential failure.

Indeed “You never fail until you stop trying”.
