If we just realize the love Heavenly Father has for us and remember the big picture--the real purpose of life--how can we go wrong, even when we have failed thousands of times? <br /><br />We will never regret a best effort.Elizabeth Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11447552226485618096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814771751990061325.post-62786295187942724112010-01-15T06:53:04.510-07:002010-01-15T06:53:04.510-07:00The more I learn about the publishing business the...The more I learn about the publishing business the more I realize it's all about those that perservere. In high school I took honors english, by the middle of the school year I was getting a C and my teacher was going to drop me so my GPA wouldn't suffer. I beg, pleaded, and cried for him to let me stay. "I would rather learn more in your class and get a C than be bored to tears and get an A." I said. When he signed my yearbook that year, he called me the epitomy of perserverence. I have copied that quote out of my yearbook and often place it where I can see it. I have to remind myself that I can perservere even though I often want to quit. I hate to lose so sometimes it's easier to not try in the first place. Thanks for sharing this thought today. I really needed it.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16328973674012805812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814771751990061325.post-62096039517011478002010-01-14T22:34:28.268-07:002010-01-14T22:34:28.268-07:00Awesome Kasie!

I think ture failure would be never trying it in the first place, you've just set yourself up for failure...<br /><br />and I totally hear you Rebecca! Whenever anyone teasingly remarks that I could be as famous as Stephenie Meyer, I start stressing... I really don't want to succeed that much.Jenni Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14340454147439103595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814771751990061325.post-35479356088575489002010-01-14T22:29:37.766-07:002010-01-14T22:29:37.766-07:00I'm not so much afraid to fail anymore.
