Champions keep playing.

Image
Champions keep playing until they get it right.-Billie Jean King Champions keep on working hard since practice makes one better. It does not really matter the number of times you have failed what matters is that in the end, you win. As an inventor, Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. When a reporter asked, "How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?" Edison replied, "I didn't fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps." Therefore champions keep on playing until they get it right. Champions keep on playing because they have the faith that it will work eventually and they keep being persistent until they get it right.

If your determination is fixed.

If your determination is fixed, I do not counsel you to despair. Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance.-Samuel Johnson If you are determined and have a fixed mindset do not listen to the voice of despair. Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Focus on being diligent in your work since the diligent person will rule and also sharpening your skill will make you stand before kings. Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance. So be patient and persistent in your work and in the end you will be grateful that you never gave up.

You go on.

You go on. You set one foot in front of the other, and if a thin voice cries out, somewhere behind you, you pretend not to hear, and keep going.-Geraldine Brooks Keep on moving forward toward your goal. Set one foot in front of the other, and if a thin voice from your past cries out, somewhere behind you, just pretend not to hear it and keep on going toward your goal. The past will fade away eventually the only time you have is now so don't be sliding an old mountain but start climbing a new mountain.

Success is the sum of small efforts.

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.-Robert Collier Put little sum of small efforts toward your goal every day until you become strong enough to encounter tough goals. Just think of success as climbing the staircase cause the elevator is out of order. You will have to work to achieve anything and maybe it might be small or big but all of them requires one to put effort on it. The benefit of putting small efforts every day is that you will become familiar with the routine and then afterward it will become a habit. Therefore if you put little sum of small efforts every day you won't be weary pursuing your goal since you are consistent but if you lack consistency you will definitely lose direction of your goal and you will end up weary.

Tenacity.

Let me tell you the secret that has led to my goal. My strength lies solely in my tenacity.-Louis Pasteur Tenacity is the quality or fact of being able to grip something firmly. How often do you start something gripping it tightly and then something negative happens and you start losing the grip?. Those who are quick to lose the tight grip are only interested in the goal but those who won't lose the tight grip are committed. Strength comes from being persistent because it is very hard to be persistent especially when things are not going as you expected. So be patient since the secret that leads people toward their goal is that their strength lies solely in their tenacity.

Perseverance.

Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th.-Julie Andrews How fast do you quit on your goals? since many people fall into the trap of having an enthusiastic attitude towards a new idea early on until life shows up and obstacles come their way to test their perseverance. Many people fall into the trap of giving up afterward on their dream when obstacles emerge because they are afraid of failure and perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th. Therefore you must hold on when the storm ranges against you. Later on, one comes to a situation that you feel like giving up is the best decision you can make at that time.  If you hold on the other side there is success and the storm will not last forever it is there for a time. So you must persevere to succeed because the storm will afterward pass away and success will become your new prized possession.

A failure is not always a mistake.

A failure is not always a mistake. It may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying.- B.F. Skinner Making mistakes is no one priority but we all make mistakes and everyone wants to be successful without passing the bitter way of making mistakes. Meanwhile before one becomes successful you will have to fail at some point. The truth is that you are going to fail your way to success because making mistakes is inevitable. Therefore when you fail don't feel like it was a mistake starting your project since the failure maybe simply be the best one you could do under the circumstances. The real mistake one can make is to stop trying and that means that it's the end of the journey and there is nothing more to hope for.

When you get into a tight place.

When you get into a tight place, and everything goes against you till it seems as if you couldn’t hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that’s just the place and time that the tide’ll turn.-Harriet Beecher Stowe We have all reached the limit where we feel that we can't hold on a minute long and we feel like giving up because that is the easiest choice we have but holding on seem to be hard I would advise you to never give up for that’s just the place and time that the tide’ll turn.
