Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached is a sloka of Katha Upanishad which was popularized in the late 19th century by Indian Hindu monk Swami Vivekananda.
Sanskrit (Devanagari):
उत्तिष्ठत जाग्रत प्राप्य वरान्निबोधत, क्षुरासन्न धारा निशिता दुरत्यद्दुर्गम पथ: तत् कवयो वदन्ति |
Transliteration:
Uttisthata Jagrata Prapya Varannibodhata, Kshurasanna Dhara Nishita Dustayadurgama Pathah tat kavayo Vadanti
English translation:
Arise! Awake! Approach the great and learn. Like the sharp edge of a razor is that path, so the wise say−hard to tread and difficult to cross.
Failure doesn't mean the game is over, it means try again with experience.
The Man in this pic is Thomas Alva Edison. He was an American inventor and businessman, who has been described as America's greatest inventor.
As an inventor, Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. When a reporter asked, "How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?" Edison replied, "I didn't fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps."
He gained experience from his failures but never gave up and tried again and again and became one of the greatest inventors who changed the world.
There is no elevator to success... you have to take the STAIRS
"Take the Stairs" means you need to make efforts daily, you need to do hard plus smart work. Small tiny steps each day lead to enormous differences over time. "Taking Elevator" means trying to bypass the hard work and consistent effort just to gain success overnight.
People often search 'what is the quickest way...', 'what is shortest way...', 'what is the simplest way...' etc are those who want an "Elevator" just to bypass hard work. Such laziness is an obstacle between you and your dream. You won't be able to achieve your goal if you always search for "Elevators".
If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you.

He applied for 30 different jobs and got rejected by all. "I went for a job with the police; they said, 'you're no good,'" Ma told interviewer Charlie Rose. "I even went to KFC when it came to my city. Twenty-four people went for the job. Twenty-three were accepted. I was the only guy...". In addition to this, he applied 10 times to Harvard Business School (HBS) and got rejected.
In April 1995, Ma, his wife, and a friend raised US$ 20,000 and started their first company. Their company was dedicated to creating websites for companies.
