There isapoem on persistence and determination which says: “When things go wrong as they sometimes will Whenthe roadyouare buildingseemsalluphill When the funds are low and the debts are high And you want to smile but you have to sigh When care is pressing you down a bit Rest if you must but don’t you quit For life is queer with its twists and turns As every one of us sometimes learns And many a failure turns about When he might have won if he had stuck it out Success is failure turned inside out The silver tint of the clouds of doubt And you never can tell how close you are If may be near when it seems so far So stick on to the fight when you are harder hit It is when things seem worst that you must not quit” -Anonymous Once you have clearly established your goals and plans and you have made the decision you will never give up until you achieve them, you begin to use the continuous action technique to maintain your momentum towards your objectives. The principle of momentum has also emotional and spiritual dimensions.

First those who have the ability and know it.Second,thosewhohave abilityanddon’t know it. Third who don’t have ability and they know it. Fourth, who don’t have ability and don’t know it.The one thatmakes you proud is the one who is not good enough to play but it means so much to him and he puts so much into it that he does anyhow. There is an old saying that you tend to play to the level of your competition. Good teams with good players can play poorly against teams with less ability.

If this is understood as attempts to maintain dignity, things will happen to the circumstance with unexpected results.” Successful people don’t procrastinate. Instead of thinking about doing something, they do it. High achievers in any field, dive into something, mess it up, overhaul it, repackage it and before you know it they have accomplished a seemingly impossible task. Experienced people say that ninety percent of work is done if you only just begin the task! May be, that many people begin a task andgiveitupinthemiddle.Elegant solutionsrarelypresentthemselves at first.

Mistakes are proofs that you are taking risks and that just sitting aroundwaiting thattheworldwouldbring treasures is a great mistake. Mistake means that when you are planning something, it does not move in the desired direction. The cost of a mistake is easy to bear when you understand the lessons coming from it. Happiness is the meaning and purpose, the whole aim and the end of human existence.
Everyone has a purpose in life.Aunique gift or a special talent is the one who give to others in life.
