This video is very powerful and will inspire you to take risk.

Dismissed from Drama School

Michael Jordan

If you never failed… You Never Lived

Life = Risk

There are lots of people who failed and succeeded. Those who took the risk to follow their dreams. People such as Bill Gates and Steve Jobs went into total ass failure back then but look at them now. Bill Gates went total bankrupt when he lost a lawsuit for Microsoft (time when MS was still a sole proprietorship). Steve Jobs fired from his own company!

Learn to take risk. That goes for all of us and let these great people inspire us.

Whatever you do do not quit. As a web designer, you’ll always get the “No” to every proposal you give. What’s important is you always have the guts to make another one and start again. That goes for any job in the world.
