There’s no failure in life when you try, only learning!

"Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

 I'll never understand why so many people settle for the mediocre, the achievable without a struggle, or just what is expected.
What is it that holds so many people back from achieving brilliant results and achieving great things? After five fantastic years in York and ten terrific years in Leeds I've discovered that there is a simple formula for achieving success:

Success = Persistence + Determination + Discipline + Courage + Hard Work

That’s it, simple as that. It's all about dreaming big, believing in yourself, knowing the obstacles and still going for it. Don’t let other people tell you what's good for you and what you are capable of. Go for what you believe in, and if in the end you don’t succeed, you’ll have the experience to carry you through to the next venture. And always remember that there’s no failure in life when you try, only learning.
