Failures

"Failures are divided into two classes- Those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought"
John Charles Salak

There are two ways to fail at something, and consequently only one way to succeed.
If you think about something, even visualize,wish for, and dream about something, and you don't take action to get it you are going to fail. What you want is not going to just drop into your lap. You have to go out and get it. Taking action is a fundamental part of success.

However, if you take action without stopping to think about why you are taking action, about your goals and what you want to acheive, you will also fail. Thinking about something, visualizing it, wishing for it, and dreaming about it is also a fundamental part of success. If you take action without having a goal in mind then you'll be just wandering around in circles, not knowing when you find something.

To be successful, you need to have a goal that is clearly visualized and wished for, and you also need to take action towards acheiving that goal. Both parts of the equation must be in place to ensure that you will not fail to get what you want.
