“You only have to succeed the last time.”

Colin Powell

Simplified Meaning:

Imagine trying to learn how to ride a bike. At first, you might fall many times and get frustrated. Each time you fall, you learn something new about keeping your balance. You might fall ten times, a hundred times, but you keep trying. Then one day, you finally ride the bike without falling. All those previous attempts and failures don’t matter anymore because you’ve succeeded at last. This quote means that no matter how many times you fail, what really counts is that you eventually succeed. So, in life, when facing challenges, keep trying and don’t give up. The important success is the one that happens at the end of your efforts.
