“A man is not finished when he is defeated, he’s finished when he quits.” Richard M. Nixon
Hello everyone, it’s Iron Wil and I am back with this week’s quote. Which is “A man is not finished when he is defeated, he’s finished when he quits” Richard M. Nixon. Now, I know that someone is going to have an issue with that, that it’s Nixon. However, here’s the thing, wisdom can be found in many places.
What I really love about this quote, is that is that it tells us right up front that we are only finished when we quit. When we stop putting in effort. When we decide, when we decide we’re done. That quitting … quitting can become a habit. And it can become a pretty bad habit in our lives if we’re not careful.
What I hope that you guys will understand is that you can get to your future, if you’re willing to put in the work. Whatever it is that you desire, if you are willing to put in the work … you can get to that future.
And what I absolutely love about this quote is that Nixon reminds us, reminds us in its own way to keep going to keep moving forward. I recently did a longer video about “The Power of Repetition” which talks about Atomic Habits and it also talks about The Slight Edge. And when we take these principles and these concepts and we do something with them; meaning that we applied those books in our lives. Then we can see some fantastic results. So, what I want you guys to remember is that you’re not finished unless you quit. You’re not defeated unless you quit.
Get after it, go after your goals and dreams. Find somebody who has done what <you want to do>. And see if you can go to work for them, become their mentee, and go after your goals and dreams….
