To understand success, we must understand failure. Failure is a part of everyone’s success. Usually when we succeed at something, it is after we’ve failed at trying it a different way. If you never failed, it would simply mean that you never tried…that you never put out any effort.

What causes failure? It could be a lack of self-esteem; however, sometimes even people with a good, healthy liking for themselves don’t reach their goals.
It could be a disease that’s affecting a lot of American’s today… TOMORROW-IT IS.

“I can’t get any competent help..
“I’ve busy too busy…

“I think I’ll rest before I start.”
