"The road to success and the road to failure are almost exactly the same."

-Colin R. Davis

 

A lot of people talk about the road to success people have taken, very few talk about the road to failure many of those same people took before the success.

I myself have traveled many road in Real Estate alone, some have been failures. The key I learned is that the road to failure, opened to a new road that brought bigger success then even what I had planned. Without traveling the road to failure, I would have never discovered the bigger success.

A lot of people give up when they fail, more likely then not, they are at that point closer to success then ever before. Take every failure in business and life as a learning experience. That is what I take away from this quote and my own experiences. 

You can't reach success without failure, but see the success in every failure to get to the next name. There is a road somewhere at the end of failure, that leads to success, just look for it.

I remember reading that it took Edison about a thousand tries to succeed in inventing the light bulb.

There are usually many obstacles and any number of failures on the pathway to great success.

Stefan, I'm not sure who is credited for the phrase "The road to success is paved with failures", but they certainly knew what they were talking about.

A big part of a person's success . . . . Comes from their attitude to keep trying . . . . and not quiting.

Good luck and success.
