Have Faith - It will pull you through the toughest times


Everything happens for a reason. When adversity strikes regardless of all the efforts you have put in, there is always a blessing in disguise. This belief will give you the strength to keep moving forward when others quit along the way.

Before we can succeed in anything, we have to first learn to fail, make mistakes and deal with setbacks. Success never takes a straight line

When building Disney, Walt Disney went thru near bankruptcy 12 times before he succeeded
Donald Trump went thru near bankruptcy twice
Lim Tow Yong, founder of Emporium was decleared a bankrupt at age 72 with debts in the millions. He later start up a new company and made back his fortune at the ripe old age of 82

Nine years after Steve Jobs started and successfully built Apple computers, he was fired from his own company by the very CEO he hired. To makes things worse, the following company he started (NEXT computers) also went down in flames. It was only after a string of major setups that he built PIXAR and returend to bring Apple back from the verge of bankruptcy

We missed 100% of the shots we dont take
