A Quote by James Caan

Obstacles are only opportunities to succeed or fail; how we handle them determines what will happen. — © James Caan
Obstacles are only opportunities to succeed or fail; how we handle them determines what will happen.
Obstacles are only obstacles if you see them as obstacles. They can also be called opportunities.
The only time we can fail is if we quit. Most perceived failures are only stepping stones being small problems encountered along the path to a goal. Obstacles are opportunities for growth, therefore, encourage and embrace them.
How you think about your opportunities determines how you will act on them.
Architecture and building is about how you get around the obstacles that are presented to you. That sometimes determines how successful you'll be: How good are you at going around obstacles?
The struggles don't define you. It's how you handle them that determines who you are.
That is Buddha`s meaning of nirvana: to be free from life and death, to be free from desire. The moment you are free from all desires... remember, I repeat, ALL desires. The so-called religious, spiritual desires are included in it, nothing is excluded. All desires have to be dropped because every desire brings frustration, misery, boredom. If you succeed it brings boredom; if you fail it brings despair. If you are after money there are only two possibilities: either you will fail or you will succeed. If you succeed you will be bored with money.
I'm just always trying to be positive. Negative things happen to everybody. Everyone has to face obstacles. Everybody has to face hurdles. It's what you do with those that determines how successful you're going to be.
Never give up! People don't understand how persistent you have to be. You come up against an obstacle and you have to find a way of moving forward. You take detours, navigate between the obstacles and make it happen. Unless you are very strong and convinced you can succeed, you will be swept away.
We frequently hear how essential it is for someone to think "outside the box," but what actually determines one's facility for doing so? In other words, what skills make someone a creative thinker? Typically, creative thinkers can view issues from multiple perspectives, define problems in several different ways, and anticipate likely obstacles. Someone's aptitude for these skills determines how well he or she will perform as a creative thinker.
We believe a renewed commitment to limited government will unshackle our economy and create millions of new jobs and opportunities for all people, of every background, to succeed and prosper. Under this approach, the spirit of initiative - not political clout - determines who succeeds.
The difference between men who succeed or fail is their ability to handle pressure.
It's not what happens to you that determines how far you will go in life; it is how you handle what happens to you.
The true test of relationships is not only how loyal someone is when we fail, but how thrilled they are when we succeed.
It is not what is happening to you but rather what is happening in you that determines whether you succeed or fail.
But once you are in that field, emotional intelligence emerges as a much stronger predictor of who will be most successful, because it is how we handle ourselves in our relationships that determines how well we do once we are in a given job.
The difference between those who succeed and fail: not taking advantage of opportunities.
