Success or Failure

"it doesn’t matter how many times you fail. It doesn’t matter how many times you almost get it right. No one is going to know or care about your failures, and neither should you. All you have to do is learn from them and those around you because…

All that matters in business is that you get it right once." -Mark Cuban, Owner of Dallas Mavericks. www.Blogmaverick.com

I just want to start out by saying that if you have not read Mr. Cuban's blog I highly encourage it. Alot of it has to do with business but the quote above just stuck out to me. In his most recent posts "Success and Movivation pts 1,2,3, and 4 he talks about how he got started in the computer business and motivating himself. Reading his post  has really encouraged me that if you really want it anyone can be successful in whatever they do. He talks about how when he first started in the computer business he knew nothing about what he was going to be selling, but he was motivated and he stayed up all night reading product manuals and learning about the software and he ended up being successful because he knew the products and had the will to succeed. 

If you look back through time, many of the big name people of today started out with nothing, just an idea. Take Bill Gates for example. This nerdy looking computer guy that had an idea for a personal computer and now he is one of (if not the) richest men in the world. I believe that the key for anyone that wants to go anywhere and be successfull is to have that type of motivation and determination that people like Mark Cuban or Bill Gates have. Anyone can say "I want to be a millionare or billionare" but only a small percentage of people have the determination to do it, no matter what the cost, no matter what the risk. It is easy for people to get the mindset that Oh, I could never become a millionare but really you are only putting that limitation on yourself. I don't want to limit this to just your financial success, but taking that mindset can apply to any aspect of your life, Weither its something small like getting in better shape, or big like getting through college.

The big truth about the quote in the beginning of this post is noone cares about your failures and NEITHER SHOULD YOU. You have to focus on whats ahead and the task you have in front of you. Nothing that has any major significance in history was accomplished easily
