Nothing in this worldcan take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common thanunsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost aproverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistenceand determination alone are omnipotent.
Determination iscritical to success as overnight successes actually take years to build;indeed, “overnight successes” are a myth.
