One of the main attributes for success or achievement is sheer determination and persistence.
This is the characteristic that underpins nearly every success story. You will struggle to find a single example of great achievement that has not involved determination and persistence.
John Calvin Coolidge, the 30th President of the United States (1923 - 1929) understood the power of determination and persistence when he said:
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
