In a Math exam, students were observed how long they work on a Math problem before they concluded it was to was too hard to solve. The students would move on from thirty seconds to five minutes, with the average answer being two minutes.
But, Renee? Renee persists, for 22 minutes, four to twenty times longer than other students. She finds a way to push hard enough to solve the problem.
Which person are you? Do you give up, after 1 or 2 or 3 tries? Do you have a "backup" plan? How many times are you willing to fail, to succeed? So you tried importing 2 products, and failed, then gave up? Your first two "businesses" failed? Better go get a job...
"Success is a function of persistence and doggedness and the willingness to work hard..." - Malcom Gladwell (Outliers).
Perhaps, failing over and over may be seen to the masses as insanity. But, to the those that "get it," they don't call it insanity - they are determined.
Which path will you choose?
