Becoming More Resilient

Life's greatest failures are people who lacked the resilience to keep plugging away, just moments before their breakthrough. Most people don't realize how close they were to their breakthrough, before they quit.

And as you know, a quitter never makes the mark. If a person, started a marathon race, and runs for a long time, but when he gets to the finish line, he didn't take the last step across, then that person is as bad as the person who didn't even start the race.

The reason is simple - if you don't succeed, nobody will regard your efforts so far, and that's why you must stop only after you've crossed the finish line. Meaning that, you must be resilient to the very end, and not quit; until you achieve the success that you seek.

For example, a businessman who was teaching his little daughter about the importance of becoming resilient, until success is achieved; asked his daughter. "Did Sir Isaac Newton ever quit?" His daughter replied' "No." He asked her again, "Did Nikola Tesla ever quit?" The daughter replied, "No."

The businessman asked again, "Did Robert Demenger ever quit?" His daughter looked confused for a moment, and then she asked, "Who's Robert Demenger, I don't know him daddy?" And the businessman replied, "That's because he quit." Hence, you should stay resilient until success is achieved.
