𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐀𝐖 𝐎𝐅 𝐖𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐄𝐅𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐒

Lions only succeed in a quarter of their hunting attempts — which means they fail in 75% of their attempts and succeed in only 25% of them.

Despite this small percentage shared by most predators, they don't despair in their pursuit and hunting attempts.

The main reason for this is not because of hunger as some might think, but it is the understanding of the “Law of Wasted Efforts” that has been instinctively built into animals, a law in which nature is governed.

- Half of the eggs of fish are eaten...

- Half of the baby bears die before puberty...

- Most of the world's rains fall in oceans... and most of the seeds of trees are eaten by birds.

Scientists have found that animals, trees & other forces of nature are more receptive to the law of "wasted efforts".

Only humans think that the lack of success in a few attempts is a failure... but the truth is that:

We only fail when we "stop trying"

Success is not to have a life free of pitfalls and falls... but success is to walk over your mistakes and go beyond every stage where your efforts were wasted looking forward to the next stage.

SO:

- Continue all over again.

- Never stop at any stage of difficulty.

- Keep moving, keep thinking, keep trying.

And remember:

My Comments:

Thanks for sharing this interesting insight about the Law of Wasted Efforts.

I am nevertheless inclined to add this to my new understanding of this elegant quote, which now makes more sense, and also resonates well:

"Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.

Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.

It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running."
