"...greatest success came just one step beyond the point at which defeat had overtaken them. Failure is a trickster with a keen sense of irony and cunning. It takes great delight in tripping one up when success is almost withing reach."
Have you ever tried to open up a jar, and you pushed and pulled until your hands hurt, but couldn't get it open? Then you passed it to someone else and they barely do anything, opening it with no effort? Same story.
That can be looked at as a negative...like you failed...but what if you "ask for help before it's too late?" This is team work, the buddy system. That's way more positive. People tend to NOT ask for help, preferring to quit or fail instead. The older I get the more I ask for help...I can't do everything...I'm not good at everything. You have to be humble to ask for help. You have to share your problems with people in order for them to help. That takes letting them into your life, which can also be hard sometimes. It opens you up to getting hurt by people around you. But there are people around you who WANT to help. Let them help you.
Together we are greater than the sum of our parts. Together we can make a difference.
See you at the top, or at the bottom, or somewhere in the middle...just ask!
