Donald Trump's two tips for success

To paraphrase what Donald Trump said in a Biography Channel interview, when the reporter asked him how someone still starting out in his career can enjoy the kind of success that the billionnaire has:  First - do what you love doing, and you'll never get tired doing it. 

Second - never stop.  Doesn't matter if you succeed or fail (and Trump has had his share of divorces and bankruptcies), set your course straight, don't waver and walk.  If you hit a wall, don't stop.  Go around that wall, climb over it, find a way around it, dig under it - but don't let it stop you.

The comeback stories of two titans

Achieving success may be a tough climb, making sure you stay on top of the game can be one nerve-wracking battle – but no exercise may be as torturous as picking yourself up and climbing again once you have fallen.

Failure is a bitter pill to swallow, regardless of its source. Although a newbie who is just starting out in his professional life may begin with virtually nothing, at least he has the benefit and the excitement of an open frontier ahead of him. On the other hand, the successful executive or manager who has reached a certain measure of success has the fallback of resources, allies, and the wisdom of experience to see him through.

Resurrection after a fall, though, can appear downright discouraging, at least from the beginning. Think about it: the blow to the ego after one has scaled the summit only to crash headlong into the pit. The doubts that follow after a depletion, both in material wealth, self-confidence, and probably, even relationships. The crushing fatigue that can just overwhelm one enough into throwing in the towel.

Not many people can make a comeback after a fall. That’s why those who do and get a second act are widely applauded – because despite the difficulties, they show it can be done.
