People who succeed know one important fact; In order to get to success, they must experience failure on a massive scale. For anyone who has read self-help or motivational books, I will not go through the pains of boring you about the countless Hall of Fame baseball players who have failed over 75% of the time (and these guys are the best at what they do).
