Ultimate success
When you have a setback, that's not a signal to abandon the
endeavor. In fact, it is a sign that you are making
progress.
You've learned one more thing that doesn't work, and that
can be of great value. Because it helps you to eventually
determine what does work.
When the desired result is not achieved, you could consider
it a failure, but that would be a mistake. Instead, see it
as just another step on the path to success.
Taking a step backward can ultimately help you to move
forward. For the next step you take is more experienced,
more finely tuned, and more closely in line with the reality
of the situation.
An important part of the determination to succeed is the
willingness to fail, and the confidence to see every failure
as temporary. So go ahead and have that confidence to
explore fresh ideas and attempt ambitious new projects.
Of course you'll make mistakes and occasionally run into
some dead ends. And each time you do, you'll be moving
forward toward ultimate, certain success.
