No matter how strong, smart, inspired or enthusiastic you are, if you cannot persevere through something difficult, you won’t succeed. You can have all the brilliant ideas in the world but if you do not persevere, you will quit before you achieve them. Without perseverance, you can’t do much. Without perseverance people quit jobs, end relationships, move cities, drop out of clubs or teams, and just don’t finish what they so heartily started.
