Being poor is an internal mindset. Being without money is only an external situation. Life at any time can take fateful twists and turns. Winning the race of life depends on how you respond to whatever twists and turns you must make to stay on the right track. You can't always control your environment, but you can always control your attitude.
Failure is often the first necessary step toward success.
And if we don't take the risk of failing, we won't get the chance to succeed. When we are trying, we are winning. Many a one has finally succeeded only because he has failed after repeated efforts. If he had never met defeat he would never have known any great victory. The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed.
