@Matt I liked the analogy. Failing is all part and parcel of learning. Some of life’s best lessons are all gained through failures.

@Linda Thanks for your kind words! And kudos for the seeking spirit! So many people have given up on learning using age as an excuse. I’m glad to know that instead of using it as a barrier, that made you appreciate the whole learning process even more! Think Susan Boyle and we all know that age is no limit for achieving our dreams.

I just want to say that I am really enjoying your site. I too, stumbled upon it while researching motivation. I am 53 tears old and attending college. It’s been 35 years since I was in a classroom!
I can not believe what I have been missing out on for all these years. I am so starved for learning that I just can’t seem to get enough of it.
Your website has been giving me wonderful ideas and thoughts and I just wanted to say, “Thank you!”

Yes!

This is exactly why so many people think that they are failing…when actually they are getting closer to their goal.

The best analogy I think i heard was about a torpedo. When you fire a torpedo in water it has to constantly makes small adjustments until it gets on target.

That is exactly what we have to do. If you look at any person who has achieved success you will see they have failed many times.

If you look at each failure as a positive…then it’s a good experience!

Al, in whatever we do, we’re bound to encounter setbacks. I guess this article reminds me of that and I’m glad it’s helpful for you!

Viv, it can be a real test of our patience when it comes to blogging. All I can say is, stay focused, produce good content regularly and actively promote it like what you’re already doing and things will definitely get better…
