Not sure where exactly I found this, but I’ve had it written down for years & years. Seems to be from some old publication called “Scraps O’ Sunshine“.
Why Do We Fail?
Many times we read rules on success. That is right–better talk winning than losing. But there is an oracle on failure which young people who are about to launch out into the world will do well to heed. Here are ten everyday and easily understood reasons for the failures of many young people to win out in the varied forms of making a living:
1. Carelessness relative to details
2. Tardiness
3. Lack of courtesy
4. Big I am
5. Unwillingness to take advice
6. Too dependent on advice
7. No self-mastery
8. Evil habits
9. Fear
10. Scatter-brained approach to work

Hi Shawn,
Great reasons why people should take heed…..
There is no easy path to success.
It takes allot of effort, perseverance
and sacrifice to become successful.
Take care always….
Thanks Lee!

Sometimes all we can do is “keep on, keeping on”, Melony. Eventually a little success sticks. Just surround yourself with positive influences, and make sure that they out-weigh the bad influences by at least 1%! lol -Shawn
