Sometimes we believe that only the most intelligent or the luckiest people find success. But that’s not always true. Many people succeed simply because they don’t give up, even when things get hard. They keep moving forward, even when they fail again and again. This kind of determination matters more than natural talent or good fortune. Success is often about staying strong and trying one more time when others stop.

Take the example of Thomas Edison, the man who invented the light bulb. He wasn’t the only one working on this invention, and he failed over a thousand times before he made it work. People might have thought he wasn’t smart enough, but he didn’t quit. He once said that he didn’t fail; he just found many ways that didn’t work. That attitude helped him keep going until he finally succeeded. It shows us that success comes to those who keep trying.

So, when things don’t go right, don’t lose heart. You don’t need to be the smartest in the room or the luckiest person around. You just need to keep trying. The moment you choose not to quit could be the moment your life changes.
