The other side in life is CHARACTER . Character is conviction . Character is is commitment . Character , in the end , determines our fate . Genius without character is not enough . As there are no certainties in life except failure . No one achieves success without falling first . In fact , someone once said that the best way to accelerate success is to double your failure rate . The law of failure is one of the most powerful of all success laws .

 

Knowing that failure is certainty , we must prepare ourselves to confront it when it happens . We must even learn how to recognize it before it gets worse . We must be clear about our goals . Above all we must not just be interested in achieving independence , we must stay commited to it .

 

There is a difference between interest and commitment , When you are interested in doing something , you do it only when it is convenient . When you are committed to something , you accept no excuses , only results .
