How Long Can You Stay With Problems?

It’s not that I’m so smart; it’s just that I stay with problems longer. - Albert Einstein

A conversation with a friend the other day reminds me of how important it is to understand and put into use the principle of perseverance. Just like her, there are lots of people who have this naturally using it to achieve whatever they set their minds to achieve. In her story, she has win lots of battle, turn and enemy to friend and become favourites of many of her boss because she never let their discouragement win over her. She learns to stay long enough with their character to succeed over them. What a winning attitude.

“I will persist until I succeed. Always will I take another step. If that is of no avail, I will take another, and yet another. In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult. I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking” muse Og Mandino. That is one trait that will beat been a genius. Success is 99% doggedness and 1% brilliancy. In support of this, Julie Andrews deduce “Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th.”

If you want to be a winner, you will stop acting like a loser given up to challenges required to succeed. Jim Watkins says “A river cuts through rock, not because of its power, but because of its persistence.” From experience Henry Wadsworth knows that “Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.”
