"Ninety-nine percent of failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses."
-George W. Carver

This is very true, So just get rid of the negative self talk and excuses and shoot for your dreams there are endless opportunities out here. Please take advantage of them while you can. I wish all of you guys the best of luck

    Nice quote.

    In terms of failure quotes I really like:

    "Remember that failure is an event, not a person" ~ Zig Ziglar

    It's the ultimate truth of life. I even know people who are in a habit to make excuses even about the failure. But we learn with time. It's better to bring "that" time quickly...

    Yes. That couldn't be more true. If one decided to spend more time on solutions than excuses, success would be inevitable. Thanks for posting

        Ah it just hit me a while back when I wa discussing with a good friend of mine about being more objective about things and looking at objective reality.

        It's a good balance to understand the concepts of various logical fallacies where we tend to just blindly follow and blindly take 'authority.'

        By NO means am I arguing 'against' this quote specifically .. because it's a great quote and sayings like these really do get you to think.

        I post and share them myself!

        It's a great lesson though to just have that sense of awareness as you go about life because aside from these sorts of quotes that are supportive and get us to think in ways that get us to make positive changes, there are lots of 'studies,' or 'percentages' thrown out to get us to believe and follow an idea, meme, movement, etc .. when they're either not entirely true, or not true at all!

    I totally agree with you lilphilupt, to reach for your dreams, you should be brave enough to explore everything and anything. Don't ponder with all of those negative thoughts that won't really help you to achieve your goals and that won't even help you to grow as a person.

    It is true.
