Quote of the Day: Dale Carnegie

by Dec 21, 2017

Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.

-Dale Carnegie

Think about one of the greatest successes of your life. Did you immediately gain this success, or did you have to go through trials and tribulations before making it there? The answer is probably the latter. Remember that it takes a lot of effort and usually difficulty to reach your goals. Don’t let that discourage you.
