[Quote No.118] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"[A story - with a message about focussing persistently on the dream:] There is a lesson in the story of a very strange race once held in the fresh snow. Three children were to run to a prize on the other side of the field with the winner being the child that ran the straightest.. When the race began the first child kept watching his feet to see if his steps were straight. The second child kept watching his friends to see how they were doing. The third child just kept watching the prize and ran. The third child's footsteps were the straightest, as he had kept his eyes on the prize as we all should in life." - Seymour@imagi-natives.com

[Quote No.349] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"'Where there is a will there is a way,' is an old and true saying. He who resolves upon doing a thing, by that very resolution often scales the barriers to it, and secures its achievement. To think we are able, is almost to be so - to determine upon attainment is frequently attainment itself." - Samuel Smiles

[Quote No.665] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"[A true story - with a message about determination and persistence despite lack of easy progress:] When Henry Ford decided to produce his famous V-8 motor, he chose to build an engine with the entire eight cylinders cast in one block, and instructed the engineers to produce a design for the engine. The design was placed on paper, but the engineers agreed, to a man, that it was simply impossible to cast an eight-cylinder engine block in one piece. Ford said, 'Produce it anyway.' 'But,' they replied, 'it's impossible!' 'Go ahead,' Ford commanded,'and stay on the job until you succeed, no matter how much time is required.' The engineers went ahead. There was nothing else for them to do if they were to remain on the Ford staff. Six months went by, nothing happened. Another six months passed, and still nothing happened. The engineers tried every conceivable plan to carry out the orders, but the thing seemed out of the question; 'impossible!' At the end of the year Ford checked with his engineers, and again they informed him they had found no way to carry out his orders. 'Go right ahead,' said Ford. 'I want it, and I'll have it.' They went ahead, and then, as if by a stroke of magic, the secret was discovered. The Ford determination had won once more!" - Napoleon Hill
in his book, 'Think and Grow Rich'.

[Quote No.666] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"[Song lyrics:]
'The Impossible Dream' -
To dream the impossible dream,
To fight the unbeatable foe,
To bear with unbearable sorrow,
To run where the brave dare not go,
To right the unrightable wrong,
To love pure and chaste from afar,
To try when your arms are too weary,
To reach the unreachable star.
This is my quest,
To follow that star,
No matter how hopeless,
No matter how far.
To fight for the right,
Without question or pause,
To be willing to march into Hell,
For a heavenly cause.
And I know if I'll only be true,
To this glorious quest,
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm,
When I'm laid to my rest.
And the world will be better for this,
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
Still strove with his last ounce of courage,
To reach the unreachable star.
" - lyrics by Joe Darion [music by Mitch Leigh]
From the song 'The Impossible Dream' in 'MAN OF LA MANCHA' (1972)- courtesy MGM

[Quote No.680] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"If, down through the ages, men and women hadn’t stood up to the job of living – if they hadn’t taken risks, faced dangers, suffered exhaustion beyond exhaustion, and kept fighting and working in the faint hope of victory – then there would be no human being left to tell the story.

[Quote No.742] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"[Poem:]
'Don’t Quit'
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you are trudging seems all up-hill,
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.
Life is strange with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out –
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit –
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
" - Edgar Albert Guest
(1881 - 1959)
