Have you ever been preparing for a clash, be it intellectual, verbal, physical, only to realize nobody is interested in fighting with you, or worse — nobody even showed up?

You are about to learn something new.

I know that article on famous quotes should be nothing but a list with the brief introduction, but I wanted to leave you with bit more insights.

Last summer I had to drive to Linz, small town in northern Austria. I didn’t use the ride-recording app I downloaded though. Why? Because recording your ride is illegal in Austria and, when caught, can cost you around 10.000 euro.

I know how you picture it:

You achieve your goal. The last drop of sweat crawls from your forehead down to your nose. The warm, summer, setting sun turns the landscape around you gold and red, so that your achieved goal gets its cliche epic background.

But it is also possible, that, upon achieving your goal, all you’ll have to say is “meh”.

While majority of blogs I had a pleasure to read, elaborate on how to “avoid”, “overcome” or “handle” the failure, I’d like to suggest that we erase that word from our vocabularies.

Will we succeed? Yes, you know why? Because we won’t stop trying.

Will you succeed? Yes, you know why? Because we won’t let you give up!
