If At First....

Did you make a New Year's resolution? Have you already thought about giving it up? Well don’t. Remember, a body at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force. Find your external force and motivation. What are you doing to accomplish your goal?

Do you know who Norman Larsen was? 

I'm sure most of you probably don’t. But I bet you have used his discovery. He was tasked with finding an anti-corrosive to protect the Atlas missile fuel tanks. He failed 39 times! How many of you would have quit after one, five or ten failures? Norman would not quit until he found the correct formula. So what did he create? A functioning water displacement solution that you now know as WD-40.

It might not have been the best commercial name but he was a scientist and not a salesman after all. The important part is he did solve the problem. So this year, whatever your goal; stick with it. If you fail, try again and again. The only failure is quitting.

Today, will you remain at rest or will you begin your quest to success???
