“You’ve got to say, I think that if I keep working at this and want it badly enough I can have it. It’s called perseverance.” ~ Lee Iacocca
To achieve anything worthwhile in this world, you
must have the staying power to see things through. That is persistence. There
is nothing in this world that can substitute for persistence. Nothing can take
its place when it comes to achieving set goals. Even if you are very talented,
it is not enough. There are numerous unsuccessful people who are talented. Even
if you think you are a genius, many unrewarded geniuses are walking around the
streets in desperation. How about education? Well, being educated is OK but
without the ability to persist in anything you are doing, you can’t make it.
The world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone
are omnipotent. They are the main tools you need to get things done in our highly
competitive and repressive world.
Ask people who have attained some measure of success
in the business and you’ll get to appreciate this relationship more. One of
such successful persons is H. Ross Perot who wrote that "Most people give
up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line.
They give up at the last minute of the game, one foot from a winning
touchdown." He should know because he was out there for quite a while.
Get busy right now because…. “No pains, no gains. To
get the prize, you must pay the price.”
