Today's Motivation - Failure

“Failure is not the opposite of success, it is part of success”

                            

“Failure is another stepping stone to greatness”

                            

Failure can be debilitating in that it can discourage someone from moving forward. Yet it can also have the opposite effect in encouraging someone to press on and prove to the world he can succeed with persistence.

The story is told of Steve Jobs who in his 20’s was successful when Apple became an empire and who eventually was fired by the Board of Directors when he was 30 years old. Fearlessly he laughed in the face of failure and founded a new company called NeXT which eventually became successful and was acquired by Apple. Once again Steve Jobs was an Apple employee and he proved that he had what it took to promote the Apple brand. The rest of the story is history.

Let us be encouraged to laugh in the face of failure. Be blessed
