Perseverance...

All things come to those who persistently go after them. Perseverance is the result of a strong "will"; stubbornness is the result of a strong "won't". Success often depends on knowing how long it will take to succeed. 

This is the secret of success: never let down and never let up. Nothing worthwhile comes easily. Half efforts does not produce half results. It produce no results. Work, continuous work, is the only way to accomplish results that last. 

The truth is that persistence can be a bitter plant, but it has sweet fruit. When you're persistent it's proof you have not been defeated. You have no right to anything you have not pursued. 



Life holds no greater wealth than that of steadfast commitment. It cannot be robbed from you. Only you can lose it by your will. We don't really want to take the 'seeds', we want the 'flowers'. 

The truth is, the path of persistence pays. Most people don't realize how close they are to success when they quit. People do not fail, they just quit too soon. Many times success consists of hanging on one minute longer. No one finds life worth living. You must make it worth living. 

Never give up on what you really know you should do.

The Obstacles in Our Way

In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the big stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many others never understand. Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one’s condition.

Never Chase A Lie

Broken promises cause the world's greatest accidents. You can't make wrong work. Honesty is the first chapter of the book of wisdom. Never chase a lie: if you leave it alone, it will run itself to death. Everything you add to the truth, you inevitably subtract from it.  A lie will add to your troubles, subtract from your energy, multiply your difficulties and divide your effectiveness. Never view anything positively that makes you break your word. Make your word your bond.

Character..

Character is the aggregate sum total of one's distinctive moral and mental qualities. Every man has in himself a continent of undiscovered character, however it is not a natural endowment we are born with.  It is something that each individual forms of itself, with a continuous process in every thought, every action, every deed, every feeling which contributes to the education  faculty of our attitudes and habits.  Character is just like cloud of smoke, it can never be concealed or hidden because it will find its way out. Character is a magnet that attracts the right people to you. It is the real foundation of all worth while success.  "Thoughts leads on purposes, purposes go forth in action, action from habits, habits decides character, and character defines our destiny" (Tryon Edwards). Would your reputation recognize your character if they met in the dark? Would the boy you were be proud of the man you are?
