It's not where you start or even what happens to you along the way that's important. What is important is that you persevere and never give up on yourself.
Success is like pumping an old well handle. You have to pump a very long time before you get water. But don't give up or you will have to start all over again.
If we grow weary and give up, the goal remains for someone else to achieve.
I'm not gonna give up, shut up, or let up, until I'm taken up... as a matter of fact, I'm just getting warmed up.
Don't give up just because of what someone said. Use it as motivation to push harder.
Regardless of your lot in life, you can build something beautiful on it.
The main reason for people's lack of success is their willingness to give up what they want most of all, for what they want right now!
This I do know beyond any reasonable doubt. Regardless of what you are doing, if you pump long enough, hard enough and enthusiastically enough, sooner or later the effort will bring forth the reward.
