The Most Valuable Quality

If your first attempt at achieving your goals seems futile, should you move on and do something else? Absolutely not! You can’t give up so easily.

Persistence overshadows even talent  as the most valuable resource in shaping the quality of life. Persistence can  overcome any difficulty. After all, no one ever achieved a goal by being interested in its achievement; one must be committed. Isn’t it possible that short-term “failures” may actually provide you with the necessary insights or distinctions to create even greater success in the future? Of course! You can learn a lot from every mistake you make.

As you look back now over your “unsuccessful” attempts in the past, what have you learned? How can you use these insights to create great success, now and in the future? Always bear in mind that you can use your past mistakes to improve yourself. Remember, the only true failure is the failure to try!

最宝贵的品格
如果你在实现目标的途中一开始就走得并不太顺，是不是就此动摇而另谋他途呢？绝对不能有此念头！你不能如此轻易就放弃。
要打造高质量的人生，毅力才是宝贵的东西，与它相比，一个人的才能都相形见绌。坚持可以克服任何困难。毕竟，没有人能通过一时的兴趣就实现一个目标。人必须全力以赴。一时的“失败”，难道不能真正为你提供必要的洞察力或卓越，从而在未来创造更大的成功吗？那是当然的！你可以从每次的错误当中学到很多东西。
当你回顾一下以往那些“不成功”的尝试，你学到了什么？你要如何利用这些洞察力，为目前乃至未来开创出伟大的成功呢？要时刻记住，你可以利用过去的错误来提升自己。记住，惟一真正的失败是不去尝试！
