The Road to Success! Just received this from my good friend Coach-Stoney (http://www.transformation.com/Coach-Stoney) over at transformation.com Enjoy!

OVERCAUTION IS AS BAD AS NO CAUTION

This is an interesting idea. We are in a world where we are so overcautious. We are creating a generation of people who are challenged with taking risk and fearful of failure. Even to the extent that they feel they must succeed at anything. I have heard this saying many times: "Failure is not an option". I believe failure to be only that which we choose to be one and really is opportunity to learn something new that will inspire us to move forward and continue with it. I never thought that it could damage your credibility as Napoleon Hill suggests. I would think that having fear be the driver of our thoughts, emotions and actions then it makes sense that credibility could be in question. What do you think? Enjoy.

"If you expect others to have confidence in you, you must conduct yourself in a way that inspires trust. Being so cautious that you never try anything new will damage your credibility just as much as will throwing all caution to the winds and trying any idea that comes along without thinking it through. (Most people equate any kind of extreme behavior with poor judgment.) But don’t fall victim to "analysis paralysis." Learn to separate facts from opinions and make sure your decisions-and your subsequent actions-are based on reliable information. Then take action!"~Napoleon Hill
