How to succeed at everything you do

Failure is a gift from the gods, who want us to earn the privilege of success. Yet, those that fail too many times the first time they try something should change their approach. They should consider the following suggestions:

  1. You have no clue what is required to be successful in this context
  2. Your timing for completing this task is completely wrong
  3. Your general knowledge is not sufficient to grasp the nature of the task to begin with
  4. You are barking at the wrong tree and want to be that which you can never be
