read the passage from "no gumption":
the one i most despised was, “if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” this was the battle cry with which she constantly sent me back into the hopeless struggle whenever i moaned that i had rung every doorbell in town and knew there wasn’t a single potential buyer left in belleville that week. after listening to my explanation, she handed me the canvas bag and said, “if at first you don’t ”
three years in that job, which i would gladly have quit after the first day except for her insistence, produced at least one valuable result. my mother finally concluded that i would never make something of myself by pursuing a life in business and started considering careers that demanded less competitive zeal.
