One more try

To paraphrase Napoleon Hill, he said every failure carries in it a seed with an equivalent or greater result.

Alice had all the right qualifications for the job description she was applying for.

Opening her mail to find this rejection mail again struck hard. This would be the 13th so far.

Some friends who knew she'd been applying had one or two salty thing to say, from those who said 'No be everybody this abroad thing dey work for' , to the ones who said ' Instead of being grateful for where you are, you're trying to hang your hand in a level bigger than you. You already have something good you're doing here. Why the urge to move?'.

Great change doesn't just happen. 

If you're aiming for something big, most times, even those close to you might not understand you. That's why most dreams are covered until they begin reality for the world to see. 

You're the one who knows how much hungerand drive you have. Don't let anything kill it.

Alice was definitely hurt by the words and presumptive comments of those around her but she didn't stop.

By the 17th time, she got an offer way bigger than she imagined, with a pay of seven figures.

It looked like a joke to others but Alice didn't stop until it became real.

No matter how things around you might seem, no resources, no connection, denials, doubts from friends or family, sometimes self doubt even, don't give up on that big dream.

Dream again

Try again

You might just be one more step away from your breakthrough.
