The lack of persistence is the reason most people fall in attaining their goals. Many organizational analysts and career consultants consider persistence to be the ultimate key to success at both the organizational and personal level.
    Success seldom comes easily on the first try. What separates the successful from the unsuccessful is persistence. Successful people also fall occasionally but they do not let their failures defeat their spirit. Successful people learn from defeats, revise their strategy as needed and try again. And again. And again. Until they succeed. Unsuccessful people try something one or two times and when it fails they give up, usually passing the blame on to someone or something else, and learn nothing from their experience other than perfecting their scapegoating techniques. Successful people expect periodic defeats, learn what went wrong and why, don’t waste time looking for someone to blame, make necessary adjustments, and try again. If you are persistent, van will al most inevitably succeed. If you are not persistent, you will almost certainly fail.
