Was Bob Goff acting on what Henry Wadsworth Longfellow said to do?
It sure sounds like it.
I mean he might not have knocked on the door every day – but he did wait outside it.
Just one more passage about grit.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow said, “Perseverance is the great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.”

Failure is a myth, did you know that?
I mean, sure, I guess there are a few ways you can “fail.”
You can fail to win a race.
And you can fail at something that only gives you one chance, like certain tests.
But that is not a failure in the sense I am talking about.
There is no such thing as a failed blogger. There is only a blogger that quits.
And there is no such thing as a failed musician. There is only a musician that quits.
See the difference?
“Never fear failure—failure is a myth. Failure exists only for those who quit. You don’t quit.“
-Andy Andrews, The Seven Decisions
