It is amazing how many people until now get inspired by the thoughts and words of Og Mandino. The following are some of his words; "The sun does not always shine. The grapes are not always ripe. The grave diggers are not always idle and peace does not always reign." Then Mandino goes on to the describe the sobering truth that the wine of success may soon elude us and that we cannot expect to always walk on mountain peaks. This painful truth is the fear of failure. Better still, it is the fear of adversity leading to failure. Mandino concluded by saying that there is no other way but to face adversity head-on. It is the way to go. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss contains its own seed, its own lesson to improve.

Many sports stars mention on Pinterest their quotes that mention that all of us should never fear failure when we do our jobs.

Why is it difficult to do the right thing? Og Mandino might be talking about his own experience. I like to read more about his life.

@Junbals That is a good question since some of us belief of staying in our comfort zone and not rock the boat.

I had several of Og Mandino's books once. He had some very sound advice.

When you have come out of your failures you will support your brothers. Who said it, to whom and when?

That is surely the right thing to do - to support others!
