“One way or another” is a useful attitude, unless we become too focused on the “one way” and forget about the countless other possibilities.

Our first attempts won’t always work, and it can be hard to overcome the sting of that experience.

But overcome it we must.

Lots of people can make a first attempt. Far fewer have the resilience to try again.

The better we can get at making additional attempts, the better we’ll be in the long run.
