One thing that mentally strong people don't do

The following is just a reminder that failure doesn't always mean it's over. In all walks of life there isn't a person who doesn't experience failure many, many times. It's just part of the process.

One thing that mentally strong people don't do.                                                      by Darren Hardy

Give up after their first failure.

Some people avoid failure at all costs because it unravels their sense of self-worth. Not trying at all or giving up after your first attempt will prevent you from reaching your potential. Almost every story about a wildly successful person starts with tales of repeated failure (consider Thomas Edison’s thousands of failures before he invented a viable lightbulb, for instance).

Face your fear of defeat head-on by stretching yourself to your limits. Even when you feel embarrassed, rejected or ashamed, hold your head high and refuse to let lack of success define you as a person. Focus on improving your skills and be willing to try again after you fail.
