SEVEN ATTRIBUTES FOR SUCCESS BY SONJA HUBBARD
“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” —Winston Churchill
“Fail faster to succeed sooner” similarly describes the effort required to succeed and reinforces that failure is an integral part of success. I always found that to be accurate and realistic, yet also motivating. It’s a reminder to dig in and keep trying. We often
think success happens overnight, like some kind of luck. It doesn’t. It happens through commitment, perseverance, adaptation, and, yes, from failure, learning, adjusting, and trying again, again, and even again. Winston Churchill
is also credited with saying, “Never, never, never give up.” Perseverance is necessary for success, as are many other attributes. The literal definition of success is the accomplishment of an aim or purpose, but interestingly, or maybe sadly, most of us would define success as a measurement of money and wealth. Someone is considered “successful” if they are rich.
