Earl Nightingale said, “A young man once asked a great and famous older man, ‘How can I make a name for myself and become successful? The great famous older man replied: ‘You have only to decide upon what it is you want and then stay with it, never deviating from your course no matter how long it takes, or how rough the road, until you have accomplished it”. Now that is wisdom.
Losers are potential winners who quit too soon and winners are losers who refuse to quit until they succeed. Many of those who achieved extraordinary success are not necessarily men with extraordinary ability. They are men with extraordinary persistence. Success takes time. John Mason once said, “Overnight success takes about ten years”. You see, there is always a time lapse between seed time and harvest.
You must keep on keeping on because in due time, you will reap the fruit of your dream seed. It was Christopher Morley that said, “Big shots are only little shots that kept shooting”. So today, keep shooting. You will succeed. Stick to your assignment like a postage stamp on an envelop, until you get to your destination.You will succeed if you do not give up.
