The road towards great achievements is never easy, and it often involves challenges and failures. But how you handle obstacles and bounce back from failures determines whether you’ll be able to continue your journey and, finally, achieve your goals.  It’s much easier to quit than keep moving on despite setbacks. And, unfortunately, many people quit in the face of adversity - when the tough times come. The only way to survive is to start building mental toughness or, as we call it, resilience. While hardships are inevitable part of the process towards greatness, resilience is the key trait that will help you to get over hurdles, recover from failure and push you to move forward. Here is the pick of the quotes that will help you to rethink the way you deal with failure and tough times, and also empower you in the battle with adversity.
