skepticism... is it positive or negative?

Skepticism, is it positive or negative?

What do you think? do you think its good to be skeptic?
Some people say its good since you won't get hurt by "others", you'll avoid scams and negative people that are coming after you trying to take advantage of you...right?

Well, what if you are skeptic at the wrong time? what if something good is coming to you but since you are skeptic you push it away?

Here is what I think:
Skepticism is killing you !
Skepticism is taking the innocence and beauty out of your life !
Skepticism keeps the good opportunities away from you, you push the good stuff away !

The good old "be careful, be aware, don't be a sucker, don't let other use you" etc.
That is bull. The only way to succeed in life is:

FAIL
FAIL
FAIL
FAIL
FAIL
FAIL
FAIL
FAIL
SUCCEED 

The only way to Succeed is if you fail first !
Take a quick inventory of every successful person you know and you'll notice immediately the simple fact: they got to be an expert on failing before they became highly successful. Michael Jordan said: I failed so many time that eventually I had to succeed. Silvester Stallone failed hundreds of times before he finally won and made his first movie and many other extremely successful individuals I am sure you have heard about.


Are you skeptic? and if so, what are you gaining?

Committed to your success
