Participants performed tasks in which words or images were displayed against red, blue or neutral backgrounds on computer screens. More
The Formula for Failure and Success from Success Magazine Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. We do not fail overnight. Failure is the inevitable result of an accumulation of poor thinking and poor choices. To put it more simply, failure is nothing more than a few errors in judgment repeated every day. Now why would someone make an error in judgment and then be so foolish as to repeat it every day? The answer is because he or she does not think that it matters. More
