Persistence is one of the most important skills in your life. It means dusting yourself off when you fall down, it means looking at situation in a different way, and trying things differently to give it another try. It means never giving up on yourself, and blaming yourself when you try something, but it does not work for you, at least, not at this time. Go and try it again, regroup and retry it again. You are special and can accomplish whatever you desire, but you must never, never give up.

l). When you give up, you are telling yourself that your are not worthy of winning. Yes you are, you have what it takes to succeed. Look into that mirror and see the potential winner in life, if you can believe in you, so will others. Everything worthwhile in life, takes time to complete, and when you just put the average effort to succeed, you may not win, so give your best effort, and then, you will begin to see progress, and then success.

2). Believe in yourself, and ask for what you want. A few years ago, I wanted to get a book published on time management, I was just starting with my writing, and when I wrote my book, I made sure that I checked out my competition at the area book stores, so I knew my book was different than the others in the field. I sent my book to a New York publisher, and asked them to consider my book for publication. Weeks went by, I didn't hear back from the publisher, so I picked up the phone, and called the publisher, and asked about my book, and the reply was: "We got your book, but we already have a book on time management, why should we publish your book?" I replied politely, "Sir, I know you have one, I read it, but I feel my book is better because it includes all basic principles of successful time management today to help others succeed.. You need to review my book fully to make your decision." I was then told they would review the book, and get back to me within a week. I called them back the next week, and they said, "Yes, we will publish your book, you will get a book contract in a week." Summary. Never give up on yourself, when you do, you lessen your chances for success. The most important part of persistence and perseverance is it build up your confidence, stamina, and lifts your beliefs in the most important person in your life: YOU. You and you alone must continually boost your own persistence daily, see yourself succeeding, winning, and getting better and better at managing the most important skills in your life: persistence and perseverance these skills can change your life for the better all life long. Go for it. YOU can do It.
