The lesson that I have learned and follow all my life is that we should try and try and try again – but never give up!
If you don’t succeed at first, there’s no need for the F word (Failure). Pick yourself up and try, try again!
“Take a chance. It’s the best way to test yourself. Have fun and push your boundaries.”
Richard Branson
