"Nothing in the world, can take the place of
PERSISTENCE and DETERMINATION:
Talent will not; nothing is more common, than
unsuccessful people with talent.
Genius will not; un rewarded genius is almost a
proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated
derelicts. PERSISTENCE and DETERMINATION
alone, are almost omnipotent. Now I'm not saying
you should not get an education, but you can have
an education, and be weak inside, and never
experience the opportunity that education could
have provided for you, because you just didn't
have the persistence and determination to make it
happen."
-----Attributed to Calvin Coolidge 30th President
of the USA.
The Apostle Peter (in 2 Peter 1:5), gives a list of
qualities, that you have to "ADD" to your faith, if
you are going to be a success. Some of these
qualities, could be captured as "persistence and
determination".
You have to be PERSISTENT:
It does not matter how many times, you are turned
down. If you are trying to get a qualification or
pass an exam, don't quit just because you failed;
try again, and again, and again! If you are trying
to get a job, don't quit because you got a
rejection. If you are trying to build your career,
don't quit because some guy at work shouted at
you!
If you are trying to build a business, don't quit
simply because the business climate is bad, in your
community. Or, because someone let you down. Or,
because your government did not do something for
you.
Maybe you lost your job, and you have been looking,
and looking and looking. Don't give up!
You might have even gone bankrupt..... Start
again. Don't quit!
You have to be DETERMINED:
A good boxer knows, that being knocked down does
not mean you are out.....you get up, and carry on
fighting, with even greater determination.
DONT QUIT NOW!!!
