Life can be viewed as a series of failures punctuated by high points successes. What many fail to realise is that it follows that the greater the level of success you achieve in your life then the more failures you experience. And we have to have both the failures as well as the successes for how else would we be able to acknowledge our success when it does finally arrive. bring up Canfield said in an interview that Chicken Soup For The Soul (co-authored by Mark Victor Hansen) was turned drink by 144 publishing houses nobody wanted it.
