A quote for this Friday:
“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, 30th President of the United States (1923-1929)

This is precisely the sort of thing I think about as the fancy bikes pass me during the ride. Keep on, keep on, keep on. |

So true! Too many people spend their $ & energy chasing after get-rich-quick schemes that only make their sellers rich. |
|
Word of wisdom. |

Persistence and determination are everything. My warning is this – quite a few people seem to think that persistence means they should use the same tactics over and over. Nothing could be further from the truth. Persistence means having the same goal over and over – and relentlessly changing tactics until you reach it. Do that, and it’s true – you can achieve anything. |

Spot On … I for one, have alwys persisted. Don’t know what it’s like to give up. And that’s why I am successful |
