I PERSIST UNTIL I SUCCEED
I was not delivered unto this world in defeat, nor thus failure course in my veins. I will not hear those who weep and complain, for there disease is contagious. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny.
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 to the corner.
I will be likened to the raindrop which washes away the mountain, the ant that devious a tiger, the stars which brightens the earth, the slave who build a pyramid. I will build my castle one break 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 as words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless and retreat for they the words of fools. I will avoid despair but if the disease of the mind should infect me then i will work on in despair.I will toil and i will endure.
So long as there is in me, that long will i persist.Now i know one of the greatest principles of success,if i will persist long enough i will win.
I persist I will win……….
