Persistence "is to talent what steam is to the engine" says the
great American Author Orison Swett Marden. And that's not all;
the great philosopher goes on to assert that "a great deal of
persistency, with a very little talent, can be counted on to go
farther, than a great deal of talent without persistency". Guess
this statement is enough motivation for you to embrace the habit
of perseverance.The foregoing statement is of tremendous significance and it
will serve you well if you think about it,believe in its
authenticity,and apply the suggested principles of perseverance
in your life. Whatever you do, be prepared to go the extra mile.
The rewards may not come immediately but you will always reap
your desired fruits in due course.One surefire way to develop persistence is to write down a clear
goal which you deeply desire. Then draw a sound plan for the
achievement of that goal and go to work right away to implement
your plan whether you are ready or not.Now let's look at three quick steps to easily
build persistence. These are in tune with
Napoleon Hill's philosophy of success:-state you goals clearly and develop a burning
desire to achieve them
-develop a sound plan to get what you want and
work your plan
-align your work with positive thoughts and block
out negative influencesFrench soccer star Zinedine Zidane has some advice for you on
