Image Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “Press On” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
- Calvin Coolidge

Today I'll like to let all my friends to know that with Persistence we would succeed So I'll like to encourage all to keep focus and we will all be successful, So i'll like to used the word Persistence..

What Is Persistence?

Persistence is the ability to maintain action regardless of your feelings. You press on even when you feel like quitting.

When you work on any big goal, your motivation will wax and wane like waves hitting the shore. Sometimes you’ll feel motivated; sometimes you won’t. But it’s not your motivation that will produce results — it’s your action. Persistence allows you to keep taking action even when you don’t feel motivated to do so, and therefore you keep accumulating results.

Persistence will ultimately provide its own motivation. If you simply keep taking action, you’ll eventually get results, and results can be very motivating.

Yup, I know. I have been working approx 16 hours daily for a year now. I could not keep on doing that without the passion for what i am doing.

Thank Paula.. Persist-ant , however, is a trick worth nurturing. Persistence is the act of building continuity, We need that in our business and services..

A very good article. I would like to add that it is much easier to be persistant when it is combined with a passion for the product or service.
