"Press on:
Nothing in the world can take the place of perseverance.
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.
Press on!"
- Calvin Coolidge
Never give up. No one can take away your will to succeed. If you believe in something, stay with it.
When you are thrown a roadblock, look around - there is always a way over, around or through that obstacle.
Thomas Edison was known as one of the most prolific inventors of all time. His harnessing of electricity and invention of the light bulb did not come without setbacks. When asked about his failed attempts at the light bulb he stated, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." Additionally he optimistically viewed his perseverance. "I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward." Edison understood that his perseverance was imperative to much success: "Many of life's failures are men who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."
If you have a dream, focus on that dream. Picture yourself living at the end of that dream. Find the path you want and never give up. You eventually will find your success.
Press on!
