--Thomas Foxwell Buxton
To succeed in life, I noticed that PERSEVERANCE is an important ingredient. I haven't heard successful people who never apply this key principle.
Le me give you some examples.
Colonel Sanders- He persevered 1009 times until someone accepted his chicken recipe known today as KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken), with 18,875 outlets in 118 countries all over the world! (as of Dec 2013)
Coca-Cola- In it's first year of business, the company only sold 400 Cokes. Now, its a global leader in the beverage industry
Michelangelo- He endured 7 years lying on his back on a scaffold to paint the Sistin Chapel.
Michael Jordan-He was cut from his high school basketball team. Now, he is a legend. In 1999, he was named the greatest North American athlete of the 20th century by ESPN
Walt Disney- In 1919, nobody wanted to hire him as either an artist or as an ambulance driver. Now, the Walt Disney Company owns five vacation resorts, eleven theme parks, two water parks, thirty-nine hotels, eight motion picture studios, six record labels, eleven cable television networks, and one terrestrial television network. The company operates through five major business "segments." Its parks segment is by far the world's largest operator of theme parks in terms of guest attendance per year and its motion picture segment is one of the six major film studios in Hollywood. As of 2013, the company had annual revenues of over U.S. $45 billion and employed approximately 175,000 people.
How about you? Do you have your own story of perseverance to share? If not now, maybe in 25 years time or more when your success story has already made you a fortune.
Your success will happen only if you are persevering at the right dream.
Those successful people I have mentioned earlier have DREAMS connected to their SOUL. That's the only reason that separates them from the rest. So do you.
