10 Reasons Why Some People Will Never Succeed

“Two amongst a thousand wise men, will define success in the same words, yet failure is always described in one way. Failure is man’s inability to reach his goals in life whatever they may be.” While success is relative, subjective, holds monetary and non- monetary value, failure is more a “one size fits all” recipe. Below are ten things people do to fail on purpose.

1. They don’t understand the value of time.
   “Any successful entrepreneur knows that time is more valuable than money itself.” – Richard Branson

2. They don’t do things that are in alignment with their goals
   “It’s not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.” – Roy Disney.

3. They never step up to the plate
   “People seem to think that success in one area can compensate for failure in other areas, but can it really? True effectiveness requires balance” – Stephen Covey

4. They have self-imposed limitations
   “You are what you are by what you believe” – Oprah Winfrey

5. They are good at making excuses
   “If you can’t make it good, at least make it look good” – Bill Gates

6. They lack class
   “You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.” ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

7. They are procrastinators
   “Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone” ― Pablo Picasso

8. They are always dreaming
   “Do something today, your future self will thank you for” – Les Brown

9. They can’t face adversity
   “All sunshine and no rain makes a dessert” – Arabian Proverb

10. They are apathetic
    “So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth” -Revelation 3:16
