Great achievers of different generations share common testimony in their successes.

This can be summarily put as "progress comes through persistence". Failure comes only when youngsters, instead of persisting, give up their life endeavors. "Many great failers did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up" said John Mason. The time, which lapse between you 'now' and your success demands persistence, no matter how strenuous the journey may be.

You can only make progress when you persist and refuse to give up on your goal. Your achievement does not consist of your good commencement and faultless plans alone, but in your excellent conclusion. Many people normally start, but few people endure its rigor to the end. Excellent performers among the few receive the prize. There is no crown without a cross, no success without studies and no progress without persistence.

Progress is a pleasant experience when the rules of the game are observed. The principles of progress have as its guide the need for persistence in the course of its pursuit. As you study for success, and pursue your goals, you must persist come rain or sun shine. You can only make progress in your life when you look forward to your target and move away from distractions around you. The difficulties, hardship and obstacles that may surface on your way of progress will distract you. Your persistence is an index of your forthrightness and focused principle as a prospective achiever.
