Sometimes success is about that sudden moment of insight. The brilliant idea you wake up with in the middle of the night. The vision that comes in a flash.
More often, though, success is about persistence.
AirBnB’s “overnight” success took a decade. Dyson made 5,127 prototypes before he got his vacuum right.
If you’re feeling like a failure today, your biggest chance for success is to get up tomorrow and keep trying anyway. You won’t feel like it. You won’t be sure that it’s worth it. You’ll question whether you should change course.
But really, as long as you still have conviction in what you’re doing, there’s only one choice. You must persist.
