Doro Explorero's Quest to Travel Around The World

How we respond to failures and mistakes is one of the most important decisions we make every day. How do you respond to failure? Failure does not mean that nothing has been accomplished. There is always the opportunity to learn something. We all experience failure and make mistakes. In fact, successful people always have more failure in their lives than average people do. Great people throughout history have all failed at some point in their lives. Those who do not expect anything are never disappointed, those who never try, never fail. Anyone who is currently achieving anything in life is simultaneously risking failure. It is always better to fail in doing something risking failure. It is always better to fail in doing something than to excel at doing nothing. A flawed diamond is more valuable than a perfect brick. People who have no failures also have few victories. People get knocked down; it is how fast they get up that counts . There is a positive correlation between sp...

According to Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" there are thirty-one major reasons or failure. As you go over the list, check yourself by it, point by point, for the purpose of discovering how many of these causes-of-failure stand between you and success. Unfavorable hereditary background. There is but little, if anything, which can be done for people who are born with a deficiency in brain power. This philosophy offers but one method of bridging this weakness - through the aid of the Master Mind. Observe with profit, however, that this is the only one of the thirty-one causes of failure which may not be easily corrected by any individual. Lack of a well-defined purpose in life. There is no hope of success for the person who does not have a central purpose, or a definite goal at which to aim. Ninety-eight out of every hundred of those whom I have analyzed had no such aim. Perhaps this was the major cause of their failure.  Lack of ambition to aim above medio...

Get rid of any "loser's limps" you're still carrying from your yesterdays. As you do, you'll break the power of the past's domination of your present and its influence over your future. In Luke 9:62, Jesus said, "No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God." If we are not careful, we will allow the past to hold us. The more we look backward, the less we are able to look forward. The past is not the only determining factor of what God can do for us today. That is the beauty of the Christian life. Even when we fail, we can ask for forgiveness and be totally cleansed of and released from our past actions. Whatever hold the past may have on us can be broken. It is never God who holds us back. We hold ourselves back by allowing the past to keep us from living to the fullest in the present and future. Failure is waiting around the corner for those who live off of yesterday's successes and failure...

I was reading through books recently, browsed several references, some gave me idea and some stimulated my mind to think. Today, I just want to tell you, yes, if you are reading this, it's not an accident! You are meant to read this!  "Whatever you do today, just make sure it's towards living your life and not copying someone else's." The law of association would suggest that you have the right to associate and that there is power in association, you attract the same energy with whom or those you associate yourself with. That is the reason why you somehow feel satisfied after a conversation with someone you've shared your life with. Shared because he/she can relate to your situation and you can relate to his or her situation.  We have under this influence that we neglect to see how it affects us. And for some reason you don't know, you just want to be with that person or those persons again. Some people would label it with the phrase, ...

One sound idea is all that one needs to achieve success. The principles described in this book contain ways and means of creating useful ideas.  When riches begin to come they come so quickly, in such great abundance, that one wonders where they have been hiding all those years. This is an astounding statement, and all the more so when we take into consideration the popular belief that riches come only to those who work hard an long.  When you begin to think and grow rich, you will observe that riches begin with a state of mind, with definiteness of purpose, with little or no hard work. You, and every other person, ought to be interested in knowing how to acquire the state of mind which will attract riches. I spent twenty-five years in research because, I too, wanted to know "how wealthy men become that way." Observe very closely, as soon as you master the principles of this philosophy, and begin to follow the instructions for applying those principles, your...

Long afterward, Mr. Darby recouped his loss many times over, when he made the discovery that desire can be transmutted into gold. The discovery came after he went into the business of selling life insurance. Remembering that he lost a huge fortune because he stopped three feet from gold. Darby profited by the experience in his chosen work, by the simple method of saying to himself, "I stopped three feet from gold , but I never stop because men say 'no' when I ask them to buy insurance." Darby became one of a small group of men who sell over a million dollars in life insurance annually. He owed his "stickability" to the lesson he learned from his "quitability" in the gold mining business. Before success comes in any man's life, he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat, perhaps, some failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is exactly what the majority of men do. More than five...

One of the most neglected areas in many lives is the area of gifts that God has placed within them. It is amazing how some people can devote their entire life to a field of endeavor or a profession that has nothing to do with their inborn talents. In fact, many people spend their lifetime trying to change how God has made them. They ignore God-given abilities while constantly seeking to change their natural makeup. As children of God, we need to recognize our innate gifts, talents and strengths and do everything in our power to build on them. One good thing about God's gifts and calling is that they are permanent and enduring. Romans 11:29 says: "The gifts and calling of God are without repentance." The Greek word translated repentance in this verse means irrevocable. God does not take away His gifts and calling in your life. Even if you've never done anything with them, even if you've failed time and time again, God's gifts and calling are still reside...
