A DAILY MESSAGE
YOU'VE NO TIME FOR EXCUSE 6
We have all failed at something at some time. Shakespeare failed as a wool merchant; Napoleon as an essayist; Kepler as a writer; Lincoln as a storekeeper; Grant as a tanner; Keats as a druggist; Puny an as a tinker; Burns as a ploughman. A'et everyone of them ranks among the world’s successful men.
If they had stopped to make excuses for their failures they would never have had the time to achieve their successes. Life is short.
Have you failed? "Well, so have better men; but they didn’t stop to talk about it; they were too busy hustling after the next job, and when they got it they were to busy hustling to hold it. And it was just because they could and did keep eternally “at it” through stress and storm, through discouragement and defeat, that their names are written in the sands of Time.
' Don’t make excuses; nobody wants to know why you failed. Make the pace, and you’ll never need to make excuses. Your number is up for success. -M. PRESTON STANLEY.
