Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life: How to Unlock Your Full Potential for Success and Achievement

THE DECIDING FACTOR
Your ability to deal with disappointment in a positive, constructive
way will do more to enable you to succeed and say more about you
to other people than any other single factor. This is a learned ability,
acquired by practice. Effective men and women are invariably those
who have developed the ability to respond constructively to the
large and small crises that occur unbidden, unexpectedly, and un-
avoidably.You must do the same.
Decide in advance that, no matter what happens, nothing will ever
stop you. Decide in advance that, although you will have countless ups
and downs in the course of your life, you will keep on persisting until
you win through to your goals. When you make this decision in ad-
vance, you will be ready. When you engage in mental prepreparation,
you will be fast on your feet when the inevitable problems appear, and
be ready to bounce instead of break.You will be virtually 
unstoppable
