Perseverance

Aristotle, Zig Ziglar, Confucius, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Winston Churchill, Napoleon Hill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Thomas Edison, Anthony Robbins, Albert Einstein, John D. Rockefeller, Ovid, Douglas MacArthur, Dale Carnegie, Jim Rohn, the Bible and the Koran, among many, many others, all agree that perseverance is at least 80% of success. Some have even said (T. Edison) that it is 99% of success. Nonetheless, there are more than billion results for the keyword “success” in Google and less than 23 million for “perseverance”.

It’s simply a matter of fashion nowadays. Modern society just doesn’t appreciate perseverance. You need money, love, job, friends and happiness AT ONCE, not in a month or a year. “Next month” has become a synonym for “forever”. But it’s a backward attitude. Life doesn’t work that way. What you really need is to work daily for a month or a year to get what you want.

Longterm commitment can be daunting … but only from the perspective of a single day. When you look back from a perspective of 100 days, on any task you dared to work on, it’s not daunting at all. It’s exciting.
