Failure is not inevitable and the fear of failure cripples.

Learning to recognise what stops us from taking steps towards our goals helps unlock our potential to accomplish them, and a deliberate grappling with the things that hinder us is a necessary component for success.

Success is not inevitable and presumed success cripples.

In a culture that so easily deceives us into believing that with celebrity comes meaning, and that real success can be acquired overnight, failing to elevate the value of diligence jeopardises – for those being deceived – the realisation of authentic success.

Both success and failure can therefore be detrimental if misunderstood.

Be crippled by neither.
