Fall forward. Here's what I mean: Reggie Jackson struck out 2,600 times in his career - the most in the history of baseball. But you don't hear about the strikeouts. People remember the home runs. Fall forward. Thomas Edison conducted 1,000 failed experiments. Did you know that? I didn't either - because number 1,001 was the light bulb. Fall forward. Every failed experiment is one step closer to success.
Every failed experiment is one step closer to success.
I’ve found that nothing in life is worthwhile unless you take risks.
The first step to living the life you want is leaving the life you don't want. Taking that first step forward is always the hardest. But then each step forward gets easier and easier. And each step forward gets you closer and closer. Until eventually, what had once been invisible, starts to be visible. And what had once felt impossible, starts to feel possible.
There are some risks we choose to take because the benefits from taking them exceed the possible costs. Optimal behavior takes risks that are worthwhile. This is the central paradigm of finance: we must take risks to achieve rewards, but not all risks are equally rewarded.
I think every step you take moving forward, and any type of success you have, you just want to cherish it for a second before you move on.
I wanna take a step forward, and I also wanna make sure that step forward is the step that I want and that I'm not being pressured by life. You try and get better at doing something, and a lot of the time, it's because somebody told you that you needed to be better.
It seems to me that every step forward in my life has been one that brings me to a better understanding of this: that you do your thing every day the best that you can, and you approach any success at it with humility.
Every year it's one more step closer, and then at the end you get to the top and you fall back down. It's crazy.
Every time the Catholic Church takes one step forward, it seems to take one giant step back.
Nothing in life is worthwhile unless it's kind of hard to get there.
The best I can say is that you move forward in your life. After every step you take, you can't go backward.
Writing is like building a bridge while you're on it. If you step forward you fall off and there's nothing in front of you.
I have a big-picture outlook, I am willing to fall, and I understand it's ok to fall, but I am going to get back up, I may take a step back, but in the end, I am going to take a giant leap forward.
The ground beneath you is shifting, and either you get sucked in by holding on to old ways, or you take a giant step forward by taking some risks and seeing what happens.
Never be discouraged, because every wrong turn attempt, when left behind you, is another step forward taking you closer to your goals.
