REASONS FOR FAILURE

There are several reasons why brilliant people fail.  There are reasons why skillful people don't succeed:
1,Purposeless life- Living a life that float like a dead fish wastes potential away. This is a lack of definite and major purpose.
2, Lack of determination- People with great potential fail because they lack the determination to rise above their present level. They just decide to remain where they are.
3, Environmental influences- Especially at a young age, environmental influences can make a potential winner a loser.
4, Inability to persist- Lack of persistence is responsible for many failures. Success in life does not come easy.
5, lack of vision- If you lack a clear direction of where you are going in life, you cannot succeed.
6, Procrastination- Those who postpone what they ought to do to another day never do anything at last.
7, Evil companionship- If your friends are the children of the devil, don't expect God's blessings.
8, Creed- Creed is a vice that drives people to take what does not belong to them. When vengeance is taken, they lose their success.
9, Lack of knowledge of God's word- If you don't know the scriptures very well you cannot know the mind of God about things concerning you. To succeed then becomes difficult.
10,Talkativeness- Excessive talking is the bane of the sorrowful life which many are living today.
