Sometime, you won't know how close is you to success... especially when you work very hard, see no result and think to give up at last...

The reason why I love this picture the most is to remind everyone of us NOT TO GIVE UP if you really have passion on the thing you are doing right now.. Believe in yourself.. If want it bad enough you will push through and come out the other side a better person as long as you don't give up.

You will realise you will never know when you have close to success

  • insanity is doing the same thing over again and again and trying for a diffirent result ..

    fail make adjustments try again.. fail get new information make adjustments .. try again ..

    many times or most of the time blindly digging in the same dierection without any feed back or attemps to adjust.. just ends up in a deeper and deeper whole ..

  • Thats cool a picture for sharing, its a lot like the "acres of diamonds" story or how Tony Robbins always says that 90% of people stop when they are only inches from success, (which is a statistic like many in personal development which probably has little basis in fact, but sounds pretty good)
  • I think odahh nailed it. I think the guy who gave up might just return with a bigger pick axe
  • love this thread...

    • What a great idea! I'm going to do this too. It doesn't hurt to have a reminder that you should keep chipping away until you taste success.

    • You beat me to it!
  • Really great point! In fact, most people wants to gain success but they use to give up if they experienced the worst case scenario. Without knowing that it happen for a reason for them learn more things. Set your mind to welcome mistakes and make a permission to learn from it. Giving up for me is another call for failure.
  • I'm going to make this my wallpaper so that it can motivate me everytime.

  • This picture is great! Really shows why we should never quit!
  • Awesome Picture! I have seen it before. The message is very powerful, If you have worked so hard up to this point to achieve success, why not keep going? This is why making sure you finish what you set out to accomplish no matter what is a good habit to develop.

    The one thing I always keep in mind though is making sure you work smart and not just hard. Making sure you are heading in the right direction is essential because otherwise it will be a waste of time after all.

  • Very Inspiring Picture.

    What it reads is 100% true. You could be extremely close to success but never taste it if you give up.
  • Thank you for sharing that picture, I will not forget it. I do not believe in giving up but but but, when it comes to traffic on my site, i feel like giving up. i feel like I am writing articles for myself. I do not seem to know what markting strategy to use. I don't think I will give up but I do surely feel like that guy on that picture and can therefore understand him. His only problem there was nobody like you in his life to encourage him to continue.

    • Thanks for sharing.

      Reminds me of a story that I read "Three feet from Gold" about a guy who was digging for gold and eventually tired and gave up, only to realize later that he was a mere 3 feet from the gold vein.

      There is also a book called 'Three feet from gold'. I think its written by Sharon Lechter

  • The image is so motivating.Think and grow rich has a similar story.Never give up as you can leave success when you are very close.
  • And just think of how greater the reward will feel if you just force yourself to push a little bit further....
  • The pain of failure and regret...

    The happiness of determination and motivation.

    Which one wins in the end? well I think this picture describes it perfectly.

    As long as we are alive, anything is possible. Only dead people are allowed to give up. In this thread I have found a lot of valuable reasons to encourge myself not give up.
  • What a nice picture in support of your writing! It's sometime really tough to keep faith on own's ability. After trying lot of days, most of the time when we lost is just for not giving another try. Thanks for the nice post and for the picture as well.

    • It's a *great* image to have as desktop background!

      I think a key message behind this, particularly in the IM field, is to pick one plan that you know is working for others, and then make sure you aren't the one at the bottom of the picture!

      Keep at it.
      Work it.
      Figure out what it is that the success stories are doing that you are not, and then change.
      Don't hop to another plan, because the same will happen!

      Probably the one thing they are doing though, is sticking to one plan and working at it!

      Nice share!

  • Amazing post and share of insight hazyl lee! Very motivational!
  • I was about to give up, until i read this, thanks.
  • Well, it can really be hard to think that you're only inches away from success when you're feeling frustrated. I've been there.

    I think the key thing I learned was to just work and do a lot of it. When I work, I don't think of the results and by golly... the money comes.

    When I don't work and just keep looking at my stats or rankings in Google, I get frustrated and angry if I don't see results even though it's only been a week.

    You have to somehow find a way to enjoy working hard and focusing on your business. You have to see that this online thing is an art; a skill that has to be learned.

    When you think like this, you won't really feel too bad about the results not coming yet because you know you will get it soon.

    Things will just click for you. Self-discipline, motivation (a.k.a inspiration in my vocabulary), and focus are key elements to make a lot of money online.

    Just speaking from experience.

  • This is a great picture, we should never give up
  • Wow, that's an amazing visual metaphor! So powerpacked! Thank you for sharing!
  • Thanks. It's easier to remember a picture than a story in a book.
  • Thanks for the image.

    Sometimes, we do not know how close we are to success.

    After working so hard eventually we all get worn out and tired of pushing through obstacles in our lifes.

    Never give up.

    • It would drive people insane if only they knew how close they were to success when they gave up.- ME
  • This picture speaks to me. I saw this image at the right time. You Gotta keep on pushin'.
  • good picture, unfortunately, is very similar to me
  • Thanks for the image Hazyl!

    I just wanted to add a thought: It depends! In the OP image we can see the diamonds, so everybody thinks: "I want to be the first guy" - he is almost there...The problem is, we take this image and apply it to our present situation - where we cannot see the diamonds! Many of us say that we can "almost smell it", but...

    ...if digging in this direction leads nowhere, than all that work/time/energy will be wasted!



    This is not to take away anybodies motivation! I still like the image in the OP. Just to make you think. It is not a matter of giving up IM altogether. Once in a while you should just step back, see why something is not working - as expected by you and to attack the problem from a different perspective or to change your expectations

    I wish you all the success that you deserve. As human beings you are ALL winners, you won a race against millions of others and BINGO, are here on this interesting journey called Life

    thanks for sharing
  • we'll never know what lies ahead. Keep moving forward while swinging your pick axe is the only viable choice. (:
  • Nice picture , indeed worth 1000s of words
    Napoleon Hill, in his classic, Think and Grow Rich, wrote, ''Before success comes in any man's life, he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps, some failure. When defeat overtakes a man,the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. And that is exactly what the majority of men and women do.''
  • Hi Hazly, I have just used your picture as my laptop wallpaper Nice picture, thanks.
  • Cool image, it explains it.
  • The picture is very true.
  • I looooove that story.

    I remember my dad telling my that story when I was a kid and have vivid and fond memories of him explaining the difference in folks who quit right before they get to the gold...or diamonds versus those who keep going and strike it rich in the end. Ha Love it..thanks man.

  • I often saw this picture in stumbleupon. Glad you were able to grab that.
  • Unfortunately I can relate to this picture...
  • Hi Hazyl

    The picture really sums it up Thank you for sharing.

    What I have noticed when consulting businesses and getting to know their stories of why they are struggling and usually feel like the only solution is to give up, is that those businesses never created a strategy.

    In contrast, businesses that took the time to write a thorough business plan are much less likely to face that emotion (of giving up). Instead at times of facing challenges, they refer back to their original business plan.

    • great pic OP. Very motivating.
  • Lol..I did not need to read whole post, the picture was worth a thousand words.
  • Yes the picture is motivating, and one should not give up so easily, however as we go along any path, we need to be aware and evaluate the results we are getting and determine if it is the right path.

    If you find you are on the wrong path, then giving up is the right thing to do. However you cannot give up trying. But you need to start a new path based on the things you learned from the previous experience.

    Just be careful, starting a new path every time you reach an obstacle gets you nowhere, insisting on continuing the wrong path gets you where you don't want to be.

    The trick is having the wisdom to determine if you are on the right path or the wrong one.
