The value of 1%, the little huge difference between success and real failure. Hi everyone? How are you doing? Did you start the day full of energy? I hope so! I want to ask to you something. If I say to you that I am trying to get something so really hard that, in fact, I only have a chance of success than 1%, what would you say to me? It could be "That's great!! It looks a little difficult but anyway, do your best!!" but I think that is more probably listen to something like "What that fuck!! Are you crazy? You are wasting your time for sure!!". Well, If you say me that, maybe you are right but you are wrong as well. The key is that people confuse the failure with "not get success" but this is not true. The failure, the real failure is when you don't even try! And the reason is really easy to understand: If you only have a 1% chance of success, then that's it! This is what you have! But, If you decide that It is too hard and It is better not even try it, then you have a 0% chance of success. So tell me now, what is a real failure? Try to get something with only a chance of success than 1% or not even try it and get a 0% chance of success for sure? I know, just like you, that a 1% is really a tiny possibility but is better than 0. If you have a dream I am sure that a 1% should be enough and If you don't get it at the end then that's not a failure but a big step in your road to success. With brave and time you can change a 1% into a 10% next time a then 30%, 35%, 50% and finally, You will get it. Be brave but be smart as well. You always have to try, that's the smartest way to live. Well, that's all for today. Enjoy the day. See you around.

Hi everyone? How are you doing? Did you start the day full of energy? I hope so!

I want to ask to you something. If I say to you that I am trying to get achieve something so really hard difficult that, in fact, I only have a chance of success than of 1%, what would you say to me?
It could be "That's great!! It looks a little difficult but anyway, do your best!!" but I think that is it would more probably listen to sound something like "What that fuck!! Are you crazy? You are wasting your time for sure!!".

Well, If you say me that, maybe you are right but you are wrong as well. The key is that people confuse the failure with "not get attaining success" but this is not true. The failure, the real failure, is when you don't even try! And the reason is really easy to understand:
If you only have a 1% chance of success, then that's it! This is what you have! But, If you decide that It is too hard and It is better to not even try it, then you have a 0% chance of success. So tell me now, what is a real failure? Trying to get something with only a chance of success than 1% or to not even try it and get a 0% chance of success for sure?

I know, just like you, that a 1% is a really a tiny possibility but is better than 0. If you have a dream I am sure that a 1% probability should be enough and If you don't get it at the end then that's not a failure but a big step in your road to success. With bravery and time you can change a 1% into a 10% next time a 20%, then 30%, 35%, 50% and finally, You will get it.

Be brave but be smart as well. You always have to try, that's the smartest way to live.

Well, that's all for today. Enjoy the day.

See you around.
