Title: Hubble trouble
Book: When life gives you lemons
Publish: Mc Graw Hill
Written: Earl Stafford
Success, like failure, changes the way we look at the world. Too much success too quickly can make a person cocky and arrogant, and even leave him or her out of touch with reality. Earl Stafford allowed some early success to tempt him into believing he was invincible, and when disaster struck, he got the lesson of his life.
That is why Stafford values the failure he endured almost as much as the success he eventually enjoyed. Failure imbued him with a permanent sense of humility, something he has passed on to his own children. Failure also taught him that, while you can't always control circumstances, you can control your state of mind. He learned to trust in his faith and his core beliefs, the guideposts that get you through the roughest storms. Nothing builds character quite like a gut-testing setback, and in that sense, Stafford realized, those who experience failure are, indeed, fortunate.
