Persistence despite failure
Your success is generally reliant upon your command of the right attitude and the amount of effort you apply; Your persistence. Persistence is just a word until put it to work in pursuit of your ultimate goal and the steps you must take to get there. There is no secret to winning in my opinion however if one could break it down to its critical elements one of them would be the application of additional energy towards another effort, a different approach, a new plan, an additional attempt and dedication to persistence.
Success doesn't mean the lack of failure, success means persistence despite failure and the ability to push through it. If you woke up this morning then it's a great day to start owning your life, taking responsibility for your future and getting after it. If you didn't wake up this morning then I guess you're dead.

I've read more than once that it's not those with greater intelligence or charisma that often make it to the finish line but those who persist. And not just in doing the same thing, but pushing the envelope, innovating, trying everything until you find the very best way.
That should give hope to all of us that aren't going to be the Zuckerbergs or the Musks of our generation. We don't all need to be billionaire playboy philanthropists to quote Tony Stark. But we can be live comfortably and find enough financial freedom, if not abound in it, if we persist.
Good topic. :)
Nicely said Glen. Measured and thoughtful.
Most people who have has success have failed over and over again before they get it!
Yep, so many cases of this happening.
I like to call it consistently and its key to succeed. I also like to call it failing forward.
Failing forward. Sounds legit. Attitude and persistence have such value.
I woke up this morning so guess i am not dead :)
Haha, that’s a good thing. Being dead is overrated.
G'day mate. It's early evening there and I wonder what you guys are planning for the evening, a fire and something meaty? We never really succeed without learning how to do it right and the best way to learn is doing it wrong a few times, you really learn to do it well.
Take that game, where you've died a few times, you keep restarting and eventually you become unstoppable.
Persistence, perseverance, drive and sheer will gets you where you need to be. My way of looking at it, Improvise Adapt & Overcome.
Have a good evening
Hi Pete, a quiet evening here tonight. Having Mexican food (home made) and watching the idiot box. (TV)
