Quotes from Margaret Thatcher, The Iron Lady
How to handle haters, hard work as the foundation, and how to win the battle.
“If my critics saw me walking over the Thames they would say it was because I couldn't swim.”
Haters are going to hate.
There are some people who will never believe in your achievements, no matter how much evidence you give them.... That doesn't mean you should stop!
The person who has to believe in you the most to succeed is you. If you know you're doing something great, stick with it. Keep showing your magnificence. The haters can hate all they want while you thrive.
“I do not know anyone who has got to the top without hard work. That is the recipe. It will not always get you to the top, but should get you pretty near.”
There are many factors involved in making it to the top of any field of work.
Connections
Timing
Advantages
Luck
…..and yes, hard work
Even though it's only one of the components, it *is a requirement*. Without hard work, you don't even give yourself a chance to make connections, have great timing, develop advantages, or get lucky.
Hard work forms the foundation of any effective pursuit. It won't always get you the exact results that you imagine, but it will always get you something great.
"You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it."
If at first you don't succeed, try again! Try with different tactics, strategy, style, and timing. Each attempt gives you feedback to refine your efforts. Eventually, you will master the battle and win it with ease!
