Inspiring Trying Quotes That Will Help You Rise And Try Again

Have you heard of any success story where triumph came in the very first attempt? Fact is that no great victories have been achieved without failures. Edison tried 10,000 times before he finally succeeded in creating the light bulb. Failure should never become the reason to simply call it quits. In fact, we should learn from our failed attempts, make another try and move ahead, who knows the moment when you said ‘I Quit’ was the last obstacle that you had to cross. Many celebrities, eminent thinkers and philosophers have shared their thoughts and success stories where they held on firmly and remained stubbornly persistent. Success surely comes to those who ‘try, try, try until they succeed’, and that is what their success mantra is. So whenever you are tempted to give up, just go through the following quotations and thoughts that will remind you about the formidable quality of winners, which is the power to cling on.
