Quote of the Day: Lucille Ball

by Oct 18, 2017

One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn’t pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.

-Lucille Ball

Even when you experience obstacles or failures, it’s important to remain optimistic. Take these as lessons and learning opportunities, as opposed to losses. The more positive you remain, the more likely you are to persist.
