Failure is Not an Option
Lamar Norton
GMA Executive Director
May 9, 2012
There are a lot of inspiring quotes out there regarding success and failure. One of my favorites is, “The only real failure in life is the failure to try.” Too often, people are reluctant to make changes for fear of failure, but, in hesitating, they fail their communities. If you want change to come to your city, you have to be willing to change yourself.
