Just keep trying...

They say if at first you don't succeed, try again, and probably again, and again. It may sound exhausting, especially if you've tried a hundred times. But what if a hundred times isn't good enough? What if it should've taken a hundred and one attempts?

Okay, screw that, I was just trying to sound artful, but what I am trying to say is that when you fail at what you really want, and not necessarily what society wants for you, try until you get it right. I was told that failure or losing out to someone is not all bad. They say it's often a stepping stone towards success. 

Having screwed up at least twenty-ten second chance and counting, I know I may not be the most credible authority to say this, but one thing I know is that my screw ups are far better than sitting like an apartment and waiting for life to happen.
