Not all good opportunities will come your way, some you will have to make happen. It’s not about waiting for the right opportunity, it’s about creating the right opportunity for yourself. Success may not just come around the corner. Sometimes you must open your own doors of opportunity. It’s all about hard work, sweat, and tears. Give yourself a thousand-second chances. Do not give up on yourself. Success comes to those that have the ability to go beyond what most people think is normal.
Thomas Edison said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work. Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” Successful men and women keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit. The only one who can make you give up is you. Nobody said it would be easy, so do not give up when it gets tough. Do not dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what you can do next. We should spend our time and energy on moving forward.
