“The men who have succeeded are men who have chosen one line and stuck to it.” -Andrew Carnegie

Problems happen all the time to everyone. However, you cannot let them interfere with attaining your hopes and dreams. Problems need to be faced head on and resolved. The key to success is never giving up and understanding that it is natural to fail.

Failing is how people learn to adjust and solve problems. While giving up might be the quickest and easiest path to take, it gets in the way of your personal goals, and brings down your self esteem and confidence. Giving up, especially in investments, may help you reduce loss. While you may not lose anything you certainly do not gain anything either.

Einstein, one of the greatest scientists of all time, couldn't pass his engineering or math courses in college. His success was ensured because he decided to never give up. Today, his theories and discoveries have changed the way people think and live. Michael Jordan, one of the world's best basketball players, struggled to make his middle school and high school basketball teams. He refused to give up. Today, he is a world icon.

Below are some quick tips and points of advice that will help you never give up and ensure your future success:

Opportunities - If an opportunity for success presents itself, then seize and aggressively pursue it. Waiting and thinking is good for planning but procrastination can cause good opportunities to be lost forever.

Criticism - Criticism can be hard to take. However you need to view it as a challenge. If someone tells you “no” or you “can't do it” then use that as inspiration and a reason not to give up.

Time - Problems cannot be solved over night. They can be solved through hard work and determination. Do not let your problems overwhelm and depress you. Everyone has problems and those problems do not reflect the kind of person you are or the life your live.

Change - Successful people are individuals who are constantly learning and striving to make themselves and their abilities more rounded. Go back to school, learn to paint, sky dive, teach a class, or read. All these activities help the mind and body stay full of life and ready for any new challenge.

Deadlines - Keep a detailed schedule and stick to it! Poor time management is a major contributor to why people do not become successful. Unsuccessful individuals claim they simply do not have the time. Schedules will help you keep on task and fit everything you want and need to do into your day. You will never finish your projects if you don't know when you when to finish them by.

Success is influenced by many things but the common personality thread of successful people is that they never give up. To achieve any goal, you must push through the rough spots and learn to enjoy the good.
