About This Quote

This is an idea that has always stuck with me. The lesson, as he explains it, is about the importance of just getting back up and trying again after you fail. The people who lose are the ones who don't fail at all. If you keep failing, you're just not trying hard enough.

Don't give up because you're not good at something if you keep trying. You can get better at it, and eventually, you'll get good at it.
