Motivational Monday

You don’t learn to walk by following rules.  You learn by doing and by falling over.  -Richard Branson

Today I present a quote from Richard Branson, a British entrepreneur.  He is the founder of Virgin Group.  His brand is attached to over 40 companies, including Virgin Atlantic, Virgin Money, and Virgin Galactic.  His quote reminds us that success does not come easily. We do not succeed on our first attempt at achieving our goals.  In life, we learn from our mistakes and from trying things over and over again.  As an ASVAB tutor, I meet many students who become discouraged with the difficulty they encounter in passing the ASVAB.  I often need to give them pep talks reminding them to not give up.  Persistence is important.  Not giving up is important.  When things are difficult, then it is important to keep on trying.  Just make sure you rise more times than you fall.
