“99% of failures come from people who make excuses.”
— Vinod Khosla
Simplified Meaning:
People often fail because they come up with reasons why they can't succeed instead of working hard to solve their problems. For instance, imagine a student who doesn’t study for an exam and fails. If they blame their failure on the noise at home or the difficulty of the subject instead of admitting they didn't prepare enough, they are making excuses. Hardworking people, on the other hand, face challenges directly and find ways to overcome them without blaming others. When someone stops making excuses and takes responsibility, they learn from their mistakes and have a better chance of succeeding next time. To apply this idea, if something goes wrong, instead of saying, "I couldn't do it because of this or that," think about what you can change or improve next time to do better.
