Everyone wants to succeed! People buy a lot of books about success, how to be successful! What the most of people don't know is that success doesn't come as a result of a magic word. Long lasting success doesn't come that easy. As a matter of fact it is a long and painful process but it builds your character and makes you stronger.
A good example of how to be successful is Nick Vujicik. He is a motivational speaker from Australia who accepts the challenges of life with a big smile. He was born without limbs. That means no hands and no legs. While the most of us complain about each and every small problem in life, finding excuses for the fact that we are not successful, he is enjoying life at maximum. Nick is a miracle who can do many things like us, the normal people do, such as writing, painting, dancing, walking, computing, swimming and even skydiving. He sees life as a gift from God and an opportunity to encourage and help other people all around the world. He trusts that all things are possible with God!
One of his famous quotes says " If I fail, I try again, and again, and again. If you fail, are you going to try again? The human spirit can handle much worse than we realize. It matters how you are going to finish. Are you going to finish strong?"
Many people in the history of the world in order to succeed had to fail again and again. But they didn't stop here! They learned from their mistakes, and they tried again and again. And finally they obtained what they wished for.
Another example that shows that success comes to an attitude of never giving up is the well known inventor, Thomas Edison. He has constructed three thousand different theories in connection with the electric bulb, yet only in two cases did his experiments prove the truth of his theory. He never gave up! He was determined to win, to have success. He said that he doesn't regret that he failed so many times before succeeding because he learned several thousand things that won't work. Every failure is a step forward to success. But it's up to us if we want to try again or give up. What is really interesting is that when you finally have success, you have also developed a strong character which knows how to handle success.
To sum up, success means accepting also failures in our lives, learning from them, and trying in a different way, but never giving up!
