Never Give Up

[Joe2013]

As I was looking for some morning inspiration I found this and thought I would share this with the rest of you.

[h=3]A hierarchy of failure (from brave to shameful)[/h]

• Mistakes! A series of failures as you follow a path of persistent long-term effort characterized by ongoing learning and a reputation that improves over time.
• The giant flame out
• Giving up in the dip
• Shortcuts
• Not starting
• The critic, on the sidelines
• Empty hype
• The scam, the short-sighted selfish pitch

It's the flameouts and the scams that get all the publicity, but it's the long-term commitment that pays off. I have nothing but applause for those brave enough to fail, and fail again. It's not so much a failure as it is one more thing that won't work.
And the critics and the non-starters? They will get little respect from me.
Some say, "go big or stay home," but I prefer, "keep going." Drip by drip.
