When something doesn't work out, they see it as a result ?" taking "x" steps led to "y" outcome. If "y" isn't satisfactory, it's time to rethink and try again. In contrast, many new entrepreneurs quit at the first sign of failure, thinking, "I knew it wouldn't work."
Imagine if everyone had that mindset; we wouldn’t have electricity, airplanes, vaccines, or countless other innovations. Every success has its roots in numerous failures.
For instance, Babe Ruth held the record for the most home runs, and also for the most strikeouts. Similarly, Thomas Edison attempted over a thousand times before perfecting the light bulb.
