If you want to be more successful, then you will need to develop the quality of Persistence. Persistence is the act of keeping on, keeping on, despite difficulties, setbacks, and defeats.
Not many people are truly persistent. The majority of people give up too soon in the face of difficulties and defeats.Only a minority of people have enough persistence to keep going through thick and thin, to keep coming back stronger after a disaster.
Do you know how many times the average man has to fail before he allows himself to quit, to give up or to start pursuing a different goal? Once? Twice? Three times?
How many times do you have to fail at a task before you decide to give up?
Once? Twice ? Three times?
Some people give up even before they start. These poor people never really amount to anything. They tell themselves that they would like to win, but they think they can't, so they don't even make an attempt, and therefore lose before they even begin.

Persistence is the key to all achievement
Would you agree that no great achievement can be gained without having to suffer setbacks, upsets, defeats and difficulties? No great achievement is easy. If it were easy, it would not be a great achievement, would it?
The ability to come back after a defeat and to immediately recover your confidence and enthusiasm is one of the most important character traits that you could build into your brain.
An additional dose of Persistence could be the one thing you need to change your chances
The chances are that you already have sufficient intelligence. You are not too old, nor too young to achieve your goals. You have sufficient education, but you may lack the quality of persistence: Unrelenting persistence.
Putting the same point in different words; do you think that you may be guilty of giving up too soon?
Have you got previous convictions for losing confidence in your own ability?
Do you give up too soon? Don't give up too soon.
All winners keep going until they win
Champions are champions because they keep going; in spite of many failed attempts.
Almost all successful individuals have had to put up with innumerable setbacks and defeats.
But the difference between the winners and the rest of us is that the winners come back stronger, after a defeat.
They don't believe in defeat; they take defeat as A Call To Arms.
