The Best Minute: Failing to success, mindset, and 30 seconds

2 QUOTES FROM OTHERS

I. Thomas J. Watson on failing to success:

"Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It's quite simple, really: Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that's where you will find success."

II. Carlos Castaneda on the importance of mindset:

“The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.”
