Failure is impossible. –Susan B. Anthony
Failure is an attitude. Having an attitude of failure can’t help us. It can only hurt us.
It can grow into a way of life.
So, when we feel like failures, we’d better look at our attitudes.
An attitude of failure often comes from making mistakes.
But we can learn to see our mistakes as lessons.
This turns mistakes into gains, not failures.
Sometimes, we try to do things that just can’t be done.
When we act like we can control others, we’re going to fail.
When we act like we know everything, we’re going to fail.
If we try to act like God, we’re going to fail.
We can’t control others.
We can’t know everything.
We’re not God. We’re human.
If we act human, we’ve already won. –Keep It Simple | More…
