Trait #8 from Think And Grow Rich
PERSISTENCE
Cultivate a state of mind that builds the power of your will.
Persistence is the difference between success and failure. Is Babe Ruth known more for his large number of strikeouts, or his home runs? Is Thomas Edison known more for his thousands of failures or for his successes?
You can’t win a point in a tennis game unless you attempt to return every shot.
Refuse to fold. This requires the type of effort that separates the the men from the boys, or the women from the girls.
Have the courage to know what you want, and the desire to get it.
Good habits bring good results automatically.
A big shot is nothing more than a little shot who kept on shooting.
About Me
- Joe
- Life is not about just me, it is about what I can do to somehow make the world a better place. I have to ask myself daily, what did I do today, make someone smile or frown? If I did the former, I am doing my job. If the latter, I have to revisit why I am here. Maybe the frown was the result of something I said for their own good, but they did not accept it. I cannot help that, because you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make the horse drink. That does not imply that I know everything, but I can only speak from my own experiences. Experience sometimes means I have found lots of ways to make mistakes, but mistakes can be the best teachers. Life is choices, I can choose to let everyone learn from their own mistakes, or share my experiences, and by doing so, hopefully help someone avoid the same mistakes.
