PERSISTENCE!!

From my book - "Never Give In; Never Give Up!"
"Only those who dare to fail greatly can achieve greatly."
—Robert F. Kennedy
"When young Thomas Edison was in school, his teachers said he was
“too stupid to learn anything.” Yet, Edison invented the incandescent
... light bulb against all odds. He made over one thousand unsuccessful
attempts—failures—before perfecting the world-changing invention.
Jerry Seinfeld, the award-winning comedian, executive producer,
and millionaire was booed off the stage during his first stand-up comedy
act. He was terrible. Of course, he could have hung it all up that very
night. After all, look at the pressure of trying to make a room full of
people laugh, especially as an unknown comedian. But, of course, Jerry
Seinfeld went on to excel in his field.
Even Elvis Presley was fired after his very first performance at the
Grand Ole Opry. He was told he had no talent.
Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing
great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honor
and good sense. Never, never, never, never give up.
—Winston Churchill (1874-1965), British politician
Even Bill Gates was originally written off as a failure by many
people. Bill Gates, considered the world’s richest man, and the founder
and chairman of Microsoft, as a young man dropped out of Harvard University. Yet, he went on to prove the world wrong about him and
to change the world of computers forever. You see, Bill just had to find
his niche.
So, what is your niche? What fire do you have in your belly? What
fires you up every day and occupies your mind more than anything else?
Dream that dream! Achieve that goal! Be all you want to be!
