“People fail because they don’t start, and they don’t start because they’re afraid to fail.”
Kids at mall on black Friday 2009>>
A coworker got me a book for Christmas, entitled “The Most Important Thing I Know,” a compilation of handwritten quick quotes written by such notables as Colin Powell, Stephen Covey, Laura Schessinger, Magic Johnson, and many more.
Martina Navratilola, a tennis star wrote that Katharine Hepburn once told her, “It’s not what you do in life, it’s what you finish!” Ms. Navratilova continues writing, “But many people don’t even start, because they are afraid of failure.” To me she says, “The only failure is when you don’t even try. So set your path, be brave, do your best and smile, because you are doing all of the above.”
Well what do you know. Even Ms. Navratilova recognizes what I’ve heard, read and written over and over and over again. People fail because they don’t start, and they don’t start because they’re afraid to fail.
