It’s amazing how far you will get by just staying with something long enough.
Most people give up too early. Their fears are bigger than their faith. Don’t complicate things. Getting to your best in life is simple. Not easy but simple.
It just takes focus and effort. Small daily gains lead to giant results over a lifetime.
Success in life is not defined by talent and physical ability, but by the mental strength to stay the course and run the extra mile.
Soichiro was a Japanese engineer who dreamed of a career in the automobile industry.
He applied for a job with the iconic Toyota Motor Corporation but was rejected. He remained jobless for a long time, and the temptation to give up on the automotive dream and take up a non-automotive job—any job—was huge.
He then tried making scooters at home. But he had no money. His caring neighbours contributed their mite to fund his enterprise.
Thus was born the Honda Motor Company.
Had Soichiro (Honda was his surname) not persisted with his dream and quit, a Honda may never have hit the roads.
“Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it will last forever” is my belief and favourite quote which I refer to when I feel like quitting.
Don’t quit & stay blessed forever.
