We’re interrupting our regularly scheduled weekly posting of “Success in 12 Months” to bring you this special broadcast! 🙂

If you’ve been following “Success in 12 Months,” you know that the topic for this month is persistence, and its close relation, perseverance.

Persistence and perseverance are two keys to success.  Anyone who is looking to excel in their chosen field (or any area of life) will need to learn to persist until they reach their goals. 

Persisting and persevering through struggles and failures is often the key to succeeding.

The video below contains some words of wisdom about persistence being key to success.

“The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are: First, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; and third, common sense.” ~Thomas Edison

“Communication is a skill that you can learn. It’s like riding a bicycle or typing. if you’re willing to work at it, you can rapidly improve the quality of every part of your life.” ~Brian Tracy

“Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.” ~Rabbi Tarfon
