"The heights by great men reached and kept, were not attained by sudden flight. But they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night." ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
There is an indescribable gratification in being able to say, “I’ve done it – the thing I sought to do – I’ve done it!” It is a tribute to consistency, that stickability which carries us through our adversities and lifts us over our obstacles, even those that appear insurmountable.
Persistence wins. If you are knocked down, don’t give up – get up; and if you can’t, crawl. It is all right to stop long enough to catch your breath, but do not surrender. The victory goes not to the person who is least hit, but to the one who won’t quit.
