Quote of the Week: What Makes Success?

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts."

- Winston Churchill

People tend to see a successful person as someone with lots of money who is either a CEO or owner of some big company. On the either hand, people tend to see someone who has failed as someone who is suicidal and/or depressed. 

 Neither of these are true. A person with lots of money most likely had to fail a lot before becoming successful. Also, just because someone is suicidal and/or depressed does not mean that person's life won't turn around and become something amazing. 

 Success and failure fluctuate with time. A good day may lead to a bad one, and vice versa. Therefore, have courage to follow the fluctuation. A failure is not the end of the world. Keep going, because success is right around the corner waiting for you. You should also appreciate success when it happens, instead of waiting for the inevitable time where you fail. Be brave, continue through failure, and cherish success. Above else, enjoy the life you've been given.
