“If you want to increase your success rate, double your failure rate.”

Thomas Watson, Founder of IBM.

It is known already that pick-up’s are a math’s game. Some girls say “no” and some say “yes”. How you deal with failure is what will ultimately help you succeed. Sometimes you might learn something about the situation and sometimes there’s simply no explanation for a “no”.

Failure is something that happens in all professional fields, even the best soccer player is not always on top of his game. Sometimes his best tactics simply won’t work that day. The difference between a regular player and a good player is that the player always bounces back when he fails.

When a great player, for example like C. Ronaldo, is about to get a shot, he is imagining the ball touching the net already. Sometimes he misses. The great player will ignore the misses and concentrate on scoring opportunities. Injury is common in a game. You are going to get knocked down. A dating gun pick-up artist knows about that the risk and injury are part of the game. Can you imagine how many times C. Ronaldo was knocked down? How many times did he stop playing after suffering an offensive tackle?

You can apply this to everything in your life, like I said in the beginning of this article: the way you deal with failure is what will differentiate you from the other guys at the end.

If you go to a club and the first attempts to score don’t touch the net, keep trying. If you strike a goal on one of those attempts it will be worth all of the NO’s.
