I can accept failure, but I can’t accept not trying

“I can accept failure, but I can’t accept not trying” -Michael Jordan

“I’ve always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come. I don’t do things half-heartedly. Because I know if I do, then I can expect half-hearted results.” -Michael Jordan

“Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.” -Michael Jordan

I think Michael had it right. All we need is hard work. We can achieve any challenge, any milestone, any goals that we might have if we keep trying. 

Failure is the reason that I want to be become an entrepreneur, its the thrill of defying failure that keeps me motivated everyday. 

What is your motivation?

    For me failure is one of the reasons. Its usually rejection that keeps me going in all thick and thin, when nobody believes in you then you have a point to prove and to stand out from the crowd.. The harder I fell the faster I bounce back…

    Persistence and hard work always payoff.

    I found your blog in trying to get in touch, I really like it.

    I hope to hear from you :)

    PS. Albert Einstein’s famous quote “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.” is one that I like.
