::failure::

"One great source of failure is found in a lack of concentration of purpose.

There will be adverse winds in every voyage,

but the able seaman firmly resists their influence,

while he takes advantage of every favorable breeze to speed him on his course.

So in our aims and pursuits we shall find much to counteract them,

much to draw our attention from them, and,

unless we are armed with a steadfast purpose,

that can subordinate the lesser to the greater,

that can repel hindrances,

resist attractions,

and bend circumstances to our will,

our efforts will not be crowned with success."Anonymous"
