Michael Neuendorff on Habits That Lead to Success
By Julia Miglets

To seek success requires courage. That doesn't come naturally to most people because we are weary of the unknown. As much as we like to say it's a great thing we live in a society that doesn't embrace failure. It comes down to human nature and the innate fears that come along with it.
