The biggest difference between people Who succeed and those Who cannot succeed is not usually talent but persistence:’ Many brilliant people give up Works. Who wants to run the risk of getting knocked down again and again? But highly successful people don’t :quit. Its often’ been said that they are just individuals who got up one more time than they fell down. Pursue your vision with a stubborn consistency. A few years ago I studied the causes of personal and professional failure and, discovered that a Principal, cause is self-destructive behaviors, thought and action inconsistent with personal goals. A sales clerk who dreams Of advancement is rude to his customers. A man Who’. needs a job spends his time in front of a television. Several years ago I decided to become a writer.: For months I read books that gave tips on writing well. I talked to good authors and writers. I imagined myself as a successful author. But I failed to take the most important step. I didn’t write. When I finally, realized that I was acting inconsistently with my goals, I started writing again. So, great success requires risk whether financial, social or physical Always risk is involved: We need to be willing to try things we’ve never tried before. We can’t play it risk-free if we want to win in life.
