 “Success is not the result of making one good choice, of taking one step. Real success requires step, after step, after step, after step. It requires choice after choice, it demands life-long education and passion and commitment and persistence and hunger and patience.” Jesmyn Ward

There is nothing that can be compared to the power of the continuous effort you put into your actions.

Continuous effort, or persistence, can accomplish more than physical strength or intelligence. It is the most consequential factor in realizing your potential.

“Don’t stop, keep going,” and “try, and try again,” are the mantras of persistence. Persistence is the continuous effort of doing something, even in the face of delays and lack of progress. It is the readiness and commitment to keep renewing your efforts in the pursuit of a goal.

“You don’t have to be the best at something. You just have to be the most determined.” Lauren Burns

“Motivation is what gets you started, but persistence is the only thing that guarantees your success.” Edmond Mbiaka
