Success



There is no doubt in the world to manage defeat is the toughest job. Defeat pushes to inferiority. It paralyses our daily work and leads to lonely. It hurts us; at the same time, we are afraid to be friend with others. Just like the coronavirus, we are scared that we will be infected. To speak the truth, we all fail and had failed. We fail daily. As we want to do something every day, remaining without doing anything is failure. Very importantly, what we got to do is know what we are doing! If an online businessperson is supposed to set a target to make phone calls and fulfills a certain percentage of phone calls, is a success for that person. It is like a fisherman who didn't have bites but stays persistently with hope of catching fish. Baseball players say, if they bat ten times, but only if they hit three balls, they consider to be successful. What?! Failing seven times and hitting three times is equal to success! When you face failure a few times, do not be disheartened. Handle your failures in prayer! Prayer in persistence and perseverance, success will knock at your door.

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

—Romans 8:37
