After many months, I finished my book "Happy Fountains".
It's already on the way to the printer. Writing a book is harder than I thought. And takes a lot of time! It took me around 6 months. But now it's done. Checked many times.
The final check is now with the printer.
Also, today:
Since I started to promote the "Happy Fountains", 3 years ago, I had a dream to be in one of the most popular newspapers of Switzerland: "20 Minuten". It has 3 million readers!
In all those years, I contacted the newspaper, many times. Nothing.
I even sent them printed photos with a hand written letter. Nothing.
I visited their office. Nothing.
Kept on writing and writing. Nothing.
I was sad, but I kept on trying.
And today after almost 3 years, they published my project "Happy Fountains"!
Thanks to the books I read and the movie I saw "The Founder", I know that most important ingredient in success is: persistence.
Those books and movie, gave me energy.
It took me some time..... but now when I try and fail, I don't feel bad anymore.
I just keep on trying, again and again. Until I get a positive outcome, like today.
Persist. Always persist. Never stop. Persist!
