Persistence

by Michelle Fortes

I have a friend who is a karate expert.  I once asked him how he could smash a concrete block with his forehead without injuring himself.  “I can do it because I don’t doubt,” he replied immediately.  A doubt, a hesitation, a shadow of fear: these are all forms of withdrawal, he said.  When part of your mind is withdrawing while the other part is trying to push ahead, there is an inner civil war and consequent self-defeat.  It is not the concrete block that defeats you, but you yourself. good morning 😊😀🌺

 “I failed 3 times in college. I applied 30 times to get a job but I was always rejected. When KFC came to China for the first time, we were 24 to apply and I was the only one dismissed. I wanted to go into the police but I was the only one not accepted. I applied 10 times to Harvard University in the US and I was rejected. ” 

Jack Ma, Alibaba Creator and 22nd Worlds richest man according to fortune and according to Forbes 2015 list with $29.8 billion networth. Moral of the story …

Never give up because you failed once or twice, know that failure is sometimes the universe telling you that your mission in life is somewhere else.
