Tuesday Thoughts: Perseverance Is Vital For Success

Tuesday Thoughts: Remember the story of fox and the sour grapes we studied as kids? Yes, the same story where fox tries several times to reach out to the grapes and after several unsuccessful attempts not only gives up on its goal but also comes up with the excuse that the grapes anyway were sour. Now, that's not the approach anybody should adopt to reach success. It simply mean that we have already made up our mind that we are not cut out for greater things. Excuse is for those who give up too easily as they are lazy to persevere. Like Confucius said, our greatest glory is not in never failing but in rising every time we fail.

So come what may, once you know what you want. Go all out to get it. Yes. it does require a lot of patience and effort. But in struggle lies the pleasure. If you didn't know the pain of trying then you wouldn't know the value of the fruit.

Suppose you lose something you earned with your sweat and blood, then you are bound to feel more than if you lost something that someone else earned. That's because we know the effort and pain that went into getting it. So Perseverance is the key. When you want to achieve something, obstacles will be there. But never lose sight of your goal. Just focus and work towards it, there's nothing that can stop you from getting what you want if you tried hard enough. Your result or fruit is directly proportional to the effort you put in.

Yesterday, I told you how being positive and believing strongly in something you badly want can work wonders for you. Now, with that persevere and I bet there will be no looking back for you.
