Patient Persistence Pays Off in a Big Way!

Energy and persistence conquer all things. - Benjamin Franklin

Though Ben Franklin said this over 200 years ago, it is still true today. Often we give up and stop trying right before we're about to have a breakthrough. Keep at it, and you will succeed.

Here are a few failures who never quit trying:

Thomas Edison failed more times than anyone cares to count, and then he successfully invented the light bulb and other things.

Michael Jordan was cut from his freshman basketball team in high school. I think he learned from his mistakes and learned to play basketball pretty well.

Abe Lincoln was not elected so many times, he should have never been able to amount to much. I'd say he made it just fine.

The Wright Brothers weren't the first to try to fly a plane, just the most persisent. They kept at it, and eventually succeeded.

I'll close with one last quote, from another famous guy you might have heard of:

Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "Press On" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. - Calvin Coolidge

Phil Gerbyshak leads a team of people as manager of an IT Help Desk in Milwaukee, WI, and finds that sharing his knowledge is a crucial component for success as a leader and as a person. Phil's personal philosophy is paraphrased from Tim Sanders' fantastic book Love is the Killer App: "Share your knowledge, your network, and your love. The rest will follow."
