“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.” — Winston Churchill
In life, setbacks are inevitable. What truly defines success is not avoiding failure but having the courage to persist through it. This powerful quote from Winston Churchill reminds us that every stumble is a stepping stone, and every setback holds a lesson.
Take Thomas Edison for example. He famously said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Despite repeated failures, he invented the light bulb, transforming modern life. Similarly, J.K. Rowling faced numerous rejections before “Harry Potter” became a global phenomenon.
Both figures show us that persistence isn’t just about endurance; it’s about growth, learning, and pushing through when the odds are against you.
Reflection Question: What challenge are you facing today that requires persistence?
