good morning everyone, welcome to another blessed Monday , as i walked into my office(and by that i mean my living room) i thought about how to motivate us all because most of us are running around trying to start the week with a bang! so i want us to read the words take it in and allow it alter the way we handle business this week. I will persist until i succeed!!!! In the Orient young bulls are tested for the fight arena in a certain manner. Each is brought to the ring and allowed to attack a picador who pricks them with a lance. The bravery of each bull is then rated with care according to the number of times he demonstrates his willingness to charge in spite of the sting of the blade. Henceforth will i recognize that each day i am tested by life in a like manner. if i persist, if i continue to try, if i continue to charge forward, i will succeed. I will persist until i succeed. I was not delivered unto this world in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd. I am a lion and i refuse to walk, talk, to sleep with the sheep. I will hear not those who weep and complain , for their disease is contagious. Let them join the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny. I will persist till i succeed. The prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning; and it is not given to me, to know how many steps are necessary in order to reach my goal. Failure i may still encounter at the thousandth step yet success hides behind the next bend in the road. Never will i know how close it lies unless i turn the corner. Always will i take the another step. If that is of no avail i will take another, and yet another, and yet another.In truth one step at a time is not too difficult. I will persist until i succeed Henceforth, i will consider each days effort as but one blow of my blade against a mighty oak. The first blow may cause not a tremor in the wood, nor the second, nor the third. Each blow, of itself, may be trifling, and seem of no consequence. Yet fro childish swipes the oak will eventually tumble. So it will be with my efforts of today. I will be liken to the rain drop which washes away the mountain; te ant who devours a tiger; the star which brightens the earth; the slave who builds a pyramid. I will build my castle one brick at a time for i know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking. I will persist until i succeed. I will never consider defeat and i will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable,, failure, unworkable,hopeless, and retreat, for they are words of fools. I will avoid despair but if this disease of the mind should infect me, then i shall work on in despair. i will toil and i will endure. i will ignore the obstacles at my feet and keep mine eyes on the goals above my head, for i know that where dry desert ends green grass grows. I will persist until i succeed i will remember the ancient law of averages and i will bend it to my good. I will persist with knowledge that each failure to sell will increase my chance for success at the next attempt. Each nay i hear will bring me loser to the sound of yea. Each frown i meet only prepares me for the smile to come. Each misfortune i encounter will carry in it the seed of tomorrows good luck. I will persist until i succeed I will try, and try, and try again. Each obstacle i will consider as a mere detour to my goal and a challenge to my profession. I will persist and develop my skills as the mariner develops his, by learning to ride out the wrath of each storm. I will persist until i succeed. Henceforth i will learn and apply another secret of those who excel in my work. When each day is ended,not regarding whether it has been a success or a failure, i will attempt to achieve one more sale. When my thoughts beckon my tired body homeward i will resist the temptation to depart.. i will try again. i will make one more attempt to close with victory, and if that fails,i will make another. Never will i allow any day to end with a failure. Thus will i plant the seed of tomorrows success and gain an insurmountable advantage over those who cease their labor at a prescribed time.when others cease their struggle, then mine will begin, and my harvest will be full. I will persist till i succeed. Nor will i allow yesterdays success to hull me into todays complacency, for this is the great foundation of failure. i will forget the happenings of the day that is gone, whether they were good or bad, and greet the new sun wit confidence and this will be the best day of my life. So long as there is breathe in me, that long will i persist. For now i know one of the greatest principles of success. If i persist long enough, i will win I will persist I will win Now go out and win!!!!!!
