In the book
Because that is the real failure: people fail not when something stops them, but when they give up. What carries you past that point is tenacity — a braid of motivation, perseverance, resilience, and sheer will — and the plain refusal to treat failure as the end, because failure is simply part of the process of success, and the people who avoid all failure avoid success along with it. Run the long race as a marathon, not a sprint, and expect the falls. — Goals, Action & Defining Success (Goal/Action/Success/Motivation)
