'SOME OF US FLY. SOME OF US DON'T.' (HAGGARD)

Some of us make it. Some of us won't. Some of us are desperate to make it happen and try to force themselves to go on an unsustainable path. Oh dear! The inevitable bust always follows. But then you may feel that your entire life is crashing down. If that ever happens to you, start again. 

Never give up. It could be the best experience in your life! This is only a fraction of your life, after all. Just keep calm. It's not the end of the world. We all make mistakes. Learning from your mistakes is what life is all about. Many famous people failed many times, before they succeeded. But you have to keep trying.

Maybe you were at the wrong place at the wrong time. Maybe you worked with the wrong people. You should always try to analyse and understand your failures and successes. Just make sure, that staying down is not an option. That's why you should remain persistent in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. Don't ever get scared. The scarier the challenges you face, the more strength you'll need and will get, one way or another. It's like magic. You'll get stronger as required. If you're not scared, the challenges may not be big enough! Complacency is your biggest enemy. 'Time and the world do not stand still' (JFK).
