[Quote No.48140] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"The seed of a bamboo tree is planted, fertilized and watered. Nothing happens for the first year. There's no sign of growth. Not even a hint. The same thing happens - or doesn't happen - the second year. And then the third year. The tree is carefully watered and fertilized each year, but nothing shows. No growth. No anything. Then the bamboo tree suddenly sprouts and grows thirty feet in three months." - Zig Ziglar

[Quote No.48231] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"Ask Advice Before Giving Up:
If you are in a situation in which negative consequences appear to be inevitable, don't give up. Rather, consult others for advice. Even though it might seem there is no escape, someone else might think of an idea that will save you.
Today, think about situations when you were under the impression that negative consequences were inevitable, but the reality turned out better than you had imagined. Let this serve as a resource not to giveup prematurely in the future." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

[Quote No.48233] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"Resilience: The Art of Bouncing Back:
Build up your ability to be resilient, your ability to bounce back after a fall. As it states in Mishlei (24:25), 'A righteous person will fall seven times and rise up.' Everyone can fall; the main thing is to get up again.
When you think in terms of building your self-image, you will focus on the fact that you rose up after you fell. Of course, it would be best never to fall at all. But since falling is part of life, build your self-image by keeping your focus on what you are doing right. And when you fall, keep your focus on what you need to do to bounce back." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin
From his book, 'Building Your Self-image and the Self-image of Others', Chapter 65.

[Quote No.48334] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended." - Nelson Mandela
(1918-2013) South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, imprisoned for 27 years, President of South Africa (1994-1999). Source: 'Long Walk to Freedom: The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela'.

[Quote No.48384] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"[Strong, creative people do not hate or fear problems, or treat them as unwelcome guests.

[Quote No.48442] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"Interestingly, a number of separate studies have turned up the same common number, concluding that truly outstanding skill in any domain is rarely achieved in less than ten thousand hours of practice over ten years' time (which comes to an average of three hours per day). From sublime pianists to unusually profound physicists, researchers have been very hard-pressed to find any examples of truly extraordinary performers in any field who reached the top of their game before that ten-thousand-hour mark." - David Shenk
