Salam untuk semua,

Patutlah pun kawan aku ni kita boleh end up jadi Jutawan; dia punya failure rate sebelum ni bukan setakat double macam yg Mr Watson cakap kat bawah tu, tapi berlambak-lambak dok ada. Dia buat bisness lembu, dengan kandang-kandang lembu kena jual; try buat bisness roti, abih cuti dok turun pi KL belajar buat roti tapi apa pun x jadi. Dia try nak bukak bisness dobi, merata kedai dobi dia pi riki, tapi x nampak-nampak pun dia buka kedai dobi. Try import masuk kain baju dari luar negeri, sampai hari ini dekat satu gudang dok terperap kat rumah kawan dia. Try bukak kilang Jus, hmm…. ari tu kata nak rush production sebab nak target pasaran bulan ramadan tahun bila entah, tapi ini dah nak masuk bulan Ramadan kali kebarapa entah, belum nampak-nampak lagi Jus dia; pendek kata 1001 makneka dia  ni dah cuba, semuanya nak kata berjaya nak kata gagal, macam tu lah dok ada; last-last lekat gak dia dengan bisness Production House. Ha, la dah jadi Jutawan pun dia, sedangkan kami yg dulunya selalu dok makan sekali kat kantin , la ni masih lagi dok terkial-kial kerja kat kilang ini; dan pakat dok bergebang sesama sendiri "Bila la nak jadi macam dia…!!"

Mungkin kami pun patut ikut style dia gak kot, patut buat macam apa yg Mr Watson cakap kat bawah ini - "Kalau nak berjaya, Double Your Rate of Failure!!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tom Watson, President of IBM, said, “Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure!! You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success.”

What a powerful motivation quote to live by. Too often, when we find ourselves faced with what perceive to be a failure, we give up trying to reach our goals. This motivation quote teaches us that there is no way to truly succeed without accepting the fact that, once in a while, we will fail. We must force ourselves to find the motivation to continue, or we will never achieve our dreams.

There’s an undeniable truth behind Mr. Watson’s motivation quote. He who doesn’t have the courage to fail, will never achieve true success. We should never be afraid of failing, because that’s where our knowledge truly comes from. We would never learn anything if everything we tried worked perfectly the first time. Imagine if a baby stood up and walked like an adult the very first time he or she tried. They would never learn to get up, if they had not first learned to fall. Failures are natures way of teaching us to recognize the things that don’t work, and to motivate us to find a way that does.
