In my book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, persistence is a really important thing in late chapters, and it explains how persistence in business and ordinary life will help you to achieve your goals. Also, that people without persistence will never win.
Those who can “take it” are bountifully rewarded for their persistence. They recieve, as a compensation, whatever goal they are pursuing. That is not all! They recieve something infinetly more important than material compensation- the knowledge that EVERY FAILURE BRINGS WITH IT THE SEED OF AN EQUIVALENT ADVANTAGE (Hill, 179).
I chose to share this quote because it clearly states how not giving up will take you places you would not believe. In other section of the book, the author states, “Quitters never win and Winners never quit.” which I liked a lot because is a simple phrase with a lot of meaning behind.
