Persistence. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent won’t; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius won’t; unrewarded genius is practically a cliché. Education won’t;

if you attempt each and every day to achieve these things the results will make themselves obvious to you.
While it may sound like a magical notion, it is in you to create your own future.
The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitude of mind,
or as Ralph Waldo Emerson declared: ‘a man is what he thinks about all day long.”
-Clarence Floyd Nelson, The Power of the Positive, The Founder
