The Power of the next attempt

  

The Power of the next attempt

Our first attempt, irrespective of success or failure, should never be our last attempt. Sometimes we might be fortunate enough to achieve our desired result, but expecting the same outcome in every attempt is unrealistic.

Life is a learning process, and the willingness to keep attempting is one of the most important traits we should possess. We have all read about Thomas Alva Edison's countless attempts before successfully inventing the light bulb, Honda's struggles in building a car factory, and George Lucas's persistent efforts to bring his dream—Star Wars—to the screen. Nothing great was ever built without multiple attempts.

 As you read this, some of you may have recently faced a setback. If so, illuminate yourself by remembering that there is an Edison within you. Some of you may have embarked on a journey to achieve something, such as a weight loss regimen. If that is you, don't worry about your waist size; instead, focus on building your mindset to start and, more importantly, to continue.

And yes, some of you may be on cloud nine after achieving something significant in life. If that is the case, say goodbye to vanity and pride, come back down to earth, and prepare to start something new.
