Hari Om,

 

Sochiro Honda †" founder of Honda Motor Company said †" Success is 99%

Failure.

 

What did he mean?

 

When I first read this quote I thought †" what a pile of BS double

talk. But as I grew, I understood consciously and intuitively what

Mr. Honda meant.

 

To understand Mr. Honda, I turned my attention to my own life. I've

spent my entire life failing at important stuff…

 

* When I first walked, I fell

* When I spoke I stuttered

* When I wrote a d it looked like a b

* When I wrote a b it looked like a d

* When I sprinted I puked

* When I rode a bike I crashed

* When I played football I fumbled

* When I was a student I failed more classes than I passed

* My first three girl-firends either dumped me or were nuts

* When I ran for political office I lost †" Thank God!

* When I started a dot com in 1997, I worked 90 hours a week for two

years and never made a dollar

* When I drove a truck, I dumped 2,000 gallons of paint (by accident)

in a parking lot and created an environmental hazard (we cleaned it

up)

* When I first drove, I totaled 4 cars

* When I first used Windows 95, I trashed the entire file system

* When I first administered data I deleted an entire customer

database without a backup †" and I lived to talk about it

 

That's just a few of my failures. Believe me, I have a lot more. My

failures used to haunt me. They used to inhibit me from trying again.

 

But today I believe…

 

The day you quit trying and concede to your demons is the day your

soul dies.
