A lot of us are afraid to fail despite knowing success is not a guaranteed thing. Our defeat is a weakness we do not want to face or let others know not understanding that the biggest failure can become the key to the biggest success in life, only if we take it in our stride and let nothing in the way affect our determination. Sounds philosophical, right? But the fact is, it couldn’t be more true.

We may believe it as a sign of weakness that we can hide from the world and from ourselves, but contrary to this belief, a number of highly successful achievers often credit a failure or two to their success.

“I enjoyed my sweat because hard work doesn’t guarantee success, but without it I didn’t have a chance.” These are precious words that give out the inspiring success story of Alex Rodgriguez, American professional baseball infielder for the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball.

So, whenever you feel let down over the littlest of things, remember these quotes by the most successful sportspersons of all times like Sachin Tendulkar, Usain Bolt, Tiger Woods because they are the epitome of hard work and determination, and they must have done something right to achieve the laurels that they have!
