B12- BOUNCE BACK

THE PROFESSIONAL LIFE ADVISER’S GUIDE (Little Gems Series)

B12. (THE PERSON) - BOUNCE BACK

Falling down doesn’t make you a failure, but staying down does.

In this business, you’re certain to come up against disappointments once in a while. You are going to have days when everything seems to go wrong. You are going to meet people who are not even polite in their attempts to get rid of you. You are going to work hard on cases that don’t go through. But all days aren’t going to be like that and you know it. That’s why you have to train yourself to bounce back from temporary defeats.

You’re not a failure as long as you are able to bounce back. You aren’t a failure until you stop trying.
