The most successful people in the world have been confronted with countless failures. Eddie Arcaro lost over 300 races before he notched his first win and yet he became one of the greatest jockeys in history.
Oprah Winfrey lost her first job as a television anchorwoman and her next show was pulled off the air. Today she is applauded around the world for her success.
The question is how do we respond to failure? Do we ask “Why me?” or take the Arthur Ashe approach and say, “If I don’t ask ‘why me’ after my victories, I cannot ask ‘why me’ after my setbacks and disasters.”
