Failure is not by chance its by our own choice. Lets examine

1. 1
Why
We
Fail?

More people fail not because they lack
knowledge or talent but because they quit.
The total secret of success lies in two words,
ppeerrssiisstteennccee and rreessiissttaannccee. Persist in what
must be done and resist what ought not to be
done.

3. When problems seem
insurmountable, quitting seems to
be the easiest way out……

Winners are struck but not
destroyed. We all have had
setbacks in life. Failing does not
mean we are failures.

People who lack conviction take
the middle of the road; and guess
what happens in the middle of
the road?
You get run over.

get along because they
lack confidence and
courage.

7. 7
They conform in order to
get accepted even when
they know that what they
are doing is wrong. They
behave like part of a
herd.

33.. RRaattiioonnaalliizziinngg
Winners may analyze but never rationalize.
That is a loser's game. Losers always have
a book full of excuses to tell you why they
could not.

9. 9
We hear
excuses
like……

10. • I'm unlucky
• I'm born under the wrong stars
• I'm not good looking
• I don't have contacts
• I don't have enough money
• The economy is bad
• If only I had the opportunity
• If only I didn't have a family

People who do not learn lessons from
history are doomed. Failure is a teacher
if we have the right attitude. FFaaiilluurree iiss aa

It is a delay, not a defeat. Experience is
the name we give to our mistakes.

55.. LLaacckk ooff DDiisscciipplliinnee
Anyone who has
accomplished anything
worthwhile has never
done so without
discipline.

15. 15
Discipline takes self-control,
sacrifice, and avoiding
distractions and temptations.
It means staying focused.
Steam does not move the
engine unless it is confined.
Niagara Falls would not
generate power unless it were
harnessed.

16. 16
Poor self-esteem is a
lack of self-respect and
self-worth. It leads to
abuse of one's self and
others.
66.. PPoooorr SSeellff--EEsstteeeemm

17. People with low self-esteem are constantly
looking for identity. They are trying to find
themselves. One's self iiss nnoott ttoo bbee ffoouunndd

18. 18
Idleness and laziness are consequences of
poor self-esteem and so is making excuses.
Idleness is like rust that eats into the most
brilliant metal.

19. 19
7. Fatalistic
Attitude

20. AA ffaattaalliissttiicc aattttiittuuddee prevents people from
accepting responsibility for their position in
life. They attribute success and failure to
luck. They resign themselves to their fate.
20

21. 21
They believe and accept the
predestined future written in
their horoscope or stars, that
regardless of their effort
whatever has to happen will
happen.

22. 22
Hence they never put in any effort and
complacency becomes a way of life. They wait
for things to happen rraatthheerr tthhaann mmaakkee tthheemm
