The Savvy Snippet: Persistence Beats All

February 2nd, 2009 by Cristina Favreau

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. — Calvin Coolidge

  • That's a great quote Cristina. You are right. Persistence is one of the keys to success. It's certainly been true in my case. It's taken sheer willpower to keep going and persist in spite of challenges and failures. I'm writing a chapter on persistence for my next book. So, this is especially topical for me. Thanks!

    I always love this quote... persistent and consistent action is the key to achieve your dreams... and having a coach... like you Cristina.
    I am working on carving out time to write articles... I'm being persistent about it... not successful so far... but very soon. Hope you are having a wonderful week.
