Have you noticed how most of the time successful people – be it in business, music, art or any other field, are not the ones who are extremely talented, but the ones who have a keen sense of how to apply talent rightly and never give up?Look around you. The reality shows today are a prime example of this fact. How many of the winners of these shows actually make it big? How many outlive their 5 minutes of fame and actually go on to make a success story of themselves?
People often mistake success for luck, but luck alone cannot run the mile. Luck can help you get ahead of competition, but it cannot make you sustain your leadership position. ‘Tenacity’ is the all important quality that can help you achieve and not give up easily when faced with hardship and obstacles in your path to success.
You must have the heart for a good fight. After all, few things of value are easily achieved. There will always be obstacles and problems along the way. Being tough will enable you to work through them without becoming cynical or giving up.
Dreams that seem impossible can be realized with determination and persistence, no matter what the odds are. The true sign of a winner is not one who has never stumbled, instead one who has stumbled many a time but has the capacity to pick himself up, dust off and get back into the game with new energy and perspective.
