On the positive side

Lifting Up Spirits

There are days when the sun shines too hot and bright.

There are also times when it suddenly hides from the heavy, black clouds that any moment can pour down tiny drops of water until it flooded the whole city.

These are the times that you want to know why these days exist?

Why do people have to experience difficulty and failure in life?

When I feel these days are coming, I read a lot of books about positive affirmation. If I am too busy to browse a book or too afraid that my boss would catch me reading and doing aside from usual work, I check the Internet. 

Here, I saw these inspiring words from famous and successful people that once has been in my shoes. Or maybe walked a harder and rougher path but defy all the hardships.

"I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed."- Michael Jordan

"In order to succeed you must fail, so that you know what not to do the next time.  " 
- Anthony J. D'Angelo

"  In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.  "
-Bill Cosby
