Every time we try to achieve something, there are two possible outcomes -- we either succeed or fail. That is why most people believe that failure is the opposite of success, which is not. Failing is just a possibility; the opposite of success is giving up.

In this episode, we focus on one of the 12 Principles of Highly Successful Leaders, most precisely the 12th principle: Never Give Up. We explore and get inspired by those that succeeded not because they didn't fail but because they kept going despite failing countless times, like Elon Musk, Michael Jordan, Viktor Frankl, and Thomas Edison.

We learn about the power of having a dogged determination, keeping trying after failure, and never considering quitting as an option. We also go through two real-life examples of how our mind can trick us into thinking of giving up as an "honorable exit" and the lessons we can learn from that.
