Perseverance..!!

Perseverance..!!

·         You've failed many times, although you may not remember. You fell down the first time you tried to walk. You almost drowned the first time you tried to swim, didn't you? Did you hit the ball the first time you swung a bat? Heavy hitters, the ones who hit the most home runs, also strike out a lot.

·         Walt Disney was turned down 302 times before he got financing for his dream of creating the "Happiest Place on Earth". Today, due to his persistence, millions of people have shared 'the joy of Disney'.

·         Colonel Sanders spent two years driving across the United States looking for restaurants to buy his chicken recipe. He was turned down 1,009 times! How successful is Kentucky Fried Chicken today?

·         R.H. Macy failed seven times before his store in New York caught on.

·         English novelist John Creasey got 753 rejection slips before he published 564 books.

·         Babe Ruth struck out 1,330 times, but he also hit 714 home runs. Don't worry about failure, Worry about the chances you miss when you don't even try. Having said this, keep in mind that you must constantly reevaluate your circumstances and the approach you are using to reach your goal. There is no sense in being persistent at something that you are doing incorrectly! Sometimes you have to modify your approach along the way. Every time you do something you learn from it, and therefore find a better way to do it the next time.

"In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins, not by strength but by perseverance."
