"When I was young, I observed that nine out of 10 things I did were failures, so I did 10 times more work."
George Bernard Shaw

Do you get discouraged and quit when you run into a problem, or especially if you seem to have failed? Most people do. In fact it is easy to do that when what you are working towards isn't more important to you than the problem seems difficult to solve. That is why it is so important to have a goal that really excites you. You have to be motivated enough to get past the problems. Some say that the problems are God's way of testing how serious you are about reaching your goal.

You have to understand that to accomplish any worthwhile goal will require dealing with problems, and even failures. The problems just aren't going to go away. You will fail, probably many times. There's a difference though between failing and being a failure. You're not a failure until you quit. A successful person expects to fail and when it happens they pick themselves up, learn any lessons they can find, make any necessary adjustments in their plans, forgive themselves, and let it go and move forward. They don't get discouraged and quit. They just do 10 times more work so get past all their failures.
