PERSISTENCE
Someone asked James Corbett, the heavyweight boxing champion at the time, what it took to be a heavyweight champion, and he said, “Fight one more round?”When asked how he had been so successful in his inventions, Thomas Edison said, “I start where other men leave off?”Napoleon Hill, in his book Think and Grow Rich, records that he studied 500 of the wealthiest men in the world and concluded that all wealthy men are persistent. When Winston Churchill went back to his alma mater to speak, the audience anticipated a great speech from the prime minister. He stood before them and said six words: “Never, never, never, never give up?”That was it; the speech was over. And that is probably the speech for which he is most remembered. Stand firm on your commitment. Don’t be a quitter.
