If there’s anyone who has taught me amazing lessons about persistence, I tell you the truth, it’s my two-year-old daughter. She manifests and expresses this great quality like I’ve never seen before. So simple, yet powerful! When I tell her she can’t have her crayons and still have my pen, she’ll end up being so persistent that I’ll even join her in the colouring exercise.

Friends, the irony of life is that the moment you take a decision for action, things are likely to go wrong. And your determination to succeed in life will be challenged at every conceivable level. Therefore, it is critically important to learn the power of persistence; without it, you will fall short of where you could be in life! Walt Disney once said, “All our dreams can come true – if we have the courage to pursue them”.
