Winners never quit and quitters never win.

My next post will represent the fifteen-hundredth to appear on Goodly. The first post appeared nearly 11 years ago.
So I can't help snickering at the news that From the Desk of Donald J. Trump is no more. Trump has shuttered his blog after less than four weeks.
"Mr. Trump had become frustrated after hearing from friends that the site was getting little traffic and making him look small and irrelevant," The New York Times said.
He should have asked other bloggers how they felt in the first month.
But that would require humility and empathy.
Trump went wrong expecting success overnight. When his blog earned few readers, his enthusiasm evaporated, almost as quickly, and he quit.
As Churchill said, “Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.”
