The Power of Persistence

Many people think that great victories like Grant's and Edison's came from a flash of insight. In fact, it was the slow pressure repeated from many different angles that slowly churned the solution to the top of the pile. Only by persisting and resisting can we learn what others were too impatient to be taught. Your first attempts aren't going to work but energy is an asset we can always find more of. When setbacks come, we respond by working twice as hard. What is defeat? Nothing but education.
