Success Requires Persistence
Part 2
by Michelle L. Casto, M.Ed.

Page: 1 2

There is a man we all know who represents what I am talking about:

Read this story and see if you know who it is ??.

2 years old when his infant brother died
7 years old, he almost drowned
Mother died when he was 9
At 10, a horse kicked him and he nearly died
He was 16 years old when he took a job to support his family
19, when his older sister died in childbirth
Lost his job at 23
Defeated for the state legislature at 23
Failed in business at 24
Elected to state legislature at 25
Overcame the death of his sweetheart at 26
Reelected to state legislature at 27

He was one of our greatest leaders, Abraham Lincoln.

Despite what many people think, success is much more about hard work, knowledge, resourcefulness, and perseverance than anything else. People who experience success in their lives know what they want and they go after it with passion, conviction, and hard work.

In fact, someone once said, The only place you find success before work is in the dictionary. In other words, if you want to be successful, you are going to have to work for it.

What is success and how do you achieve it? Success can be defined as the progressive realization of a predetermined, worthwhile goal or dream. This definition of success underlies the importance of having goals.

You can?t achieve success without developing goals. Goals give life meaning. As humans, we are designed for achievement and accomplishment.

H.L. Hunt, who was at one time the richest man in the world, said that he had discovered three steps that would lead to success.

1). Decide what you really want out of life.
2). Develop a plan of action for achieving it.
3). Act, with great enthusiasm.

When you review the life history of Abraham Lincoln, you can see a similar pattern. He knew what he wanted, he developed a plan, and acted with enthusiasm and persistence.

In the end, he accomplished a great deal and left the world in better shape than he found it. If we all could follow our vision, and work with purpose, just think how different the world could be. Now it is time to for you to take the lead and become a success in your own time.
