** What to Do When When Difficulties Happen ** The “greats” are committed to their goals, and that commitment is not built upon emotion or circumstances. Knowing in advance that they will have difficult days on their climb to the top, the one thing that sustains them is their own stubborn refusal to back down or go away. They just won’t forfeit the game. Ross Perot, the well-known billionaire who ran for president in 1992 and 1996, says that most people give up when they are just about to achieve success. And that’s true. People will get to the 1-yard line and, not realizing how close they are, walk away just when they’re about to score the winning touchdown. And that’s terribly sad, because victory often comes in the final moments, not by virtue of a clever last-minute play, but by outlasting the opposition and wearing them down. Victory is achieved as often by attrition as it is by performance on the field. So refuse to give up and keep pushing until the whistle blows. As Yogi Berra so famously said, “It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.” -- Dr. Dave Martin The Rest of Your Life, Will Be the Best of Your Life! #TheDaily #Success #Action #Persistence #DontQuit
