Netizens react
Goenka’s post struck a chord with many, with several users agreeing and citing real-life examples, including Elon Musk’s persistence with SpaceX. One user remarked, “Key is not to be afraid of failures; easier said than done, though.”
Another added, “Success comes with effort. Genuine and sincere efforts lead to clarity in direction and speed at the right moment. The key is to keep moving forward without getting stuck in overplanning.” A third user stated, “Learning while doing is the best way to grow.”
Citing Musk’s example, someone noted, “Elon on SpaceX—his first three missions failed, nearly causing bankruptcy. If the fourth had failed, there would be no SpaceX. Yet, it took just 17 hours to get astronauts back.”
Another user summed it up succinctly: “Success loves speed. While others are thinking, winners are doing.”
