Newman Mon, 06 Aug 2007 19:36:49 +0000 http://www.verbalnetworking.com/mmm-080607#comment-27 While I may fail to get something done that I planned on, etc., I myself am NEVER a failure. I am one of God's children and he doesn't make junk. I like to look at 'failures' as a positive thing and something I can learn from. If a person contacts 10 people and it isn't until the 10th that they get a 'yes' then each failure or 'no' is just one closer to a 'yes.' That makes those other 9 successes. We taught our daughter to never give up or quit, because then she would fail to reach her goal. As an All-American Basketball player she has encouraged this in others by saying "When I fell down, I knew the best thing I could do was get back up and keep perservering.' Now despite those falls or failure points - I am a success. Focus on that attitude rather than a negative one and you will excel.
