Attempts Required

No matter what we do in life, we must quickly learn we will need to make many attempts to be successful. When you first learn to type, your fingers hit the wrong keys on a continual basis until you learn where the keys are located on the keyboard. When you learn to walk as a baby, you fall down a lot. No matter what we do in life, we must prepare ourselves emotionally and intellectually to make many attempts. There are a few people who seem to have a golden touch when it comes to achieving. However, even for them, long-lasting success is gained only by repeatedly trying, failing, and trying again. For nearly every person, to achieve and be successful requires repeated attempts. When someone expects to succeed on the first try at any task, they will soon be disappointed. Professional persons spend long hours honing and practicing their craft. In the long hours of practice, there are repeated mistakes or failures. There are repeated attempts at success. We must remember success in any area of life does not come easy. Most often the difficulties we face in achieving more in life can be dealt with successfully if we learn to keep going and keep repeating our attempts.
