Failure is not for all. It is not whether you get knocked down, it is whether you get up again.

There is no failure for the the man who realises his power, who never knows when he is beaten; there is no failure for the determined endeavour, the unconquerable will. There is no failure for the man who gets up every time he falls, who rebounds like a rubber ball, who persists when everyone else gives up, who pushes on when everyone else turns back.

"Our greatest glory is not in never failing but in rising each time we fall". It is not whether you get knocked down, it is whether you get up again.  It is not whether you get knocked down, it is whether you get up again.

Successful men  and women are hallmarked by their incredible persistence, by their refusal to quit  no matter what the external cicumstance. The one quality that absolutely guarantees success in business, in financial accumulation, and in life is this indomitable will power and the willingness to stick with it when everything in you wants to stop and rest or go  back and do something else. Your greatest ability is simply your ability to keep at it longer than anyone else.
"History has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered heartbreaking obstacles before they triumphed, they won because they refused to become discouraged by their defeat" (B.C Forbes).

"I do not think there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind, as the quality of perseverance". It overcomes almost everything, even nature" (J. D Rockefeller)

The mission director had been away for some weeks on a trip visiting distant mission schools. The believers at the Missao Adventista da Namba came to the end of their resources and food supply. The director's wife called the families together and told them the situation. Then she read to the people the promises of the Lord and told them of the manna which had been sent by God to His people in the time of Moses, assuring them that God could send them food in the same way, if necessary. After prayer, a little girl, about five years of

The nature of mindsets, part 1.The deeper reason to examine our mindsets is so we can mount a self-aware response to the great challenges of our day.

The nature of mindsets by Ash Buchanan A primer on how our underlying beliefs, attitudes and assumptions create our everyday lives — and our shared world Mindsets shape the lives we lead, the actions we take and the future possibilities of the world we live in. In this primer, we provide an overview of what mindsets are, why they matter and explore a range of practices you can use to be mindful about how and why you use them.
