This Simple Philosophy Followed by Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos Will Make You a Winner Every Time

The winner is not the one who wins every time, but the one who never gives up and learns from each failure.

Success makes people fantasize and dream. De facto, only the successes of the great ones are highlighted. This creates misconceptions among the general public that some people are only successful.

You watch Elon Musk become the richest man in the world with a fortune of more than $300T, and you think that this man is definitely successful. You think he must have something magical to turn everything he touches into gold.

Yet, if you make the effort to look beyond what the mainstream media portrays, you'll see that Elon Musk has built himself into the admired entrepreneurial genius that he is today, primarily through bitter failure. And even after great successes, Elon Musk continues to fail probably more often than you can bear.

I'm talking about Elon Musk here, but he's obviously not the only one to follow this failure-ridden path to success. Jeff Bezos has experienced the same thing throughout his journey with Amazon. Did you know, for example, that the multi-billion dollar success of the Echo line of speakers was born out of the $170 million-plus failure of the Amazon Fire Phone in 2014?

Probably not, because everyone only remembers the big successes of these awesome entrepreneurs. Yet, if these people are successful and always appear as winners, it is primarily because they keep in mind that failure is necessary to innovate and achieve great things.

Without failures, you will never experience huge success

Without failure, you will never leave your comfort zone. You won't have disappointments, but only narrow successes on things you already master. If you want to achieve great success, you're going to have to dare to go beyond and risk failure.

Just the act of trying already puts you among the winners. Winners in the making. But to be a winner in life every time, you'll have to dare to go even further.

Writer Robin Sharma tells you exactly what will make the difference in your favor:

“It's amazing how far you will get by just staying with something long enough. Most people give up too early.”

What puts 99% of people in the loser category is that they don't try hard enough to achieve their goals. At the first failure, these people get discouraged thinking that they will never succeed. So they give up and move on.

This habit puts you among the losers.

The winner is revealed in failure by a unique and simple philosophy

A winner is not someone who succeeds every time, it is simply someone who never gives up where others give up too quickly. After a failure, the winner learns to adapt and then do better.

By dint of perseverance, these multiple failures will allow you to reach success. This is how Bill Gates became a multi-billionaire with Microsoft:

“There’s no secret [to my success]. I worked really hard on my idea to get it as good as I could, and then knocked on door after door. I ended up showing my idea to 1200 people. 900 said no. 300 people showed some interest. Only 85 people actually did anything. 30 took a serious look. And 11 made me a multi-millionaire.”

Two simple, but to most people insane, habits have made Bill Gates exceptionally successful: working hard without counting the hours and never giving up.

Perseverance made the difference in Bill Gates becoming a winner in the eyes of all. Yet, long before he became a billionaire, he was already a winner because he had the philosophy that all successful people share: never give up.

By never giving up no matter what, you can never be a loser. You will simply be a winner in the making. A winner who is waiting for his big moment. Embracing this philosophy is what will take your life to the next level.
