It’s so funny how I’m finding evidence of this that applies to everythingin life. One corollary I’m starting to discover is the whole waiting-until-I-know-everything-first research attitude, something I once held to be holy, also runs counter to this probability-of-success-through-persistence concept. :)

Isn’t it weird when you do a lot of research, come to one conclusion, then unintentionally run into another conclusion you know to be right but absolutely destroys everything you thought you knew was right before? How many people can actually accept that and keep moving forward?

I hung out with him for a few days, and I realized it was a numbers game for him. If five girls reject his advances, there would always be a sixth, or a seventh, or a thirty-ninth! As he put it, “If she doesn’t come home with me tonight, someone else will.”

As crude as it might have been, it was also insightful into what it takes to chase and catch success. Fear of rejection can kill ambition, which guarantees rejection, whether it is girls, business, or school.

Of course, you have to be passionate about what you do. I did the cold calling thing once, and I lasted all of 2 days. :)
