Mary Higgins Clark on Failure

By Jay Dixit on May 20, 2009 in Brainstorm

Mary Higgins Clark knows something about getting through tough times. She lost her father when she 11, her brother when she was 16, and her husband when she was 36—after which she was left to raise five children on her own. That didn't stop her from becoming one of the most successful suspense novelists of all time, writing 28 books that have sold 100 million copies in the U.S. alone. At age 81 she's still going strong. Her new book, Just Take My Heart, is on sale now. I reached her at her home in Saddle River, New Jersey. Read More

What a great book, however

What a great book, however you must first be interested and actively attempting to reach the goal in which society measures your success or failure by for instance sometimes people attach themselve to you and lie that you are interested in them and count it as a failure when things don't work out or an employer who blocks your attempt to be hired via slander etc, elsewhere because generally they are no brainers with a title, than they hire someone else and proclaim you a failure because they did not hire you so are you really a failure or someone who was not afforded the same opportunity as your successor, so before you consider yourself a failure compare the opportunities and your effort to obtain your goals not society idea of what they think makes you a failure. And you may realize you are winner because to be labeled a failure or a loser you have to compete.
