Persist until you succeed - Og Mandino Please keep in mind that failure is not an option and it is only plausible when you cease to make additional attempts. Life can be strenuous and failures are frequent but persistence will lead you to your destiny. Always keep in mind that you may just be one failure away from fulfilling your purpose so it is imperative that you keep trying. Until you achieve your purpose the world will be missing what you have to offer, so keep going the world needs your brilliance!
