Take the plunge

Many of us are afraid of taking risks. Of trying. Of failure. Of change. Of learning. Of the truth…

You can not tell wether you can or can not do anything unless you try. You can not be contented with what you have because everything in this world is temporary. You can never achieve your goal when you dont stand up and fight for it. Look at things the way great people do. Don’t be afraid of failures for they teach you how to succeed. If you failed consider it as a lesson and a stepping stone and not as a stumbling block that would hinder you from reachning your goals. You are not alone, everybody fails in one thing or another.

NBA great Micheal Jordan was cut from the varsity team as a sophomore. Instead of giving up after failing to make the team, Jordan used it to spur himself to greater achievements, practicing hour after hour on the court. “Whenever I was working out and got tired and figured I ought to stop, I’d close my eyes and see that list in the locker room without my name on it,” Jordan said, “and that usually got me going again.” He eventually made the team and led it to the state championship (www.23jordan.com/bio1.htm. Thomas Edison, the father of the incandenscent bulb, burned over 3000 filaments before he could light up a bulb (www.thomasedison.com/enlightened.html). He should have given up on his first or maybe his 100th filament but he patiently worked it out seeing each filament after the other burn up until finally the bulb lighted. They are some of the great people who never never gave up for their dreams.

Don’t be afraid of stepping out and taking the risk. Take the plunge. Live life, learn life.
