From G.E.D. to Ph.D. Success Power Principles QUOTES

1 " Persistence is the ability to maintain action regardless of your feelings. When you work on any big goal, your motivation will wax and wane like waves hitting the shore. Sometimes you’ll feel motivated; sometimes you won’t. But it’s not your motivation that will produce results — it’s your action. Persistence allows you to keep taking action even when you don’t feel motivated to do so, and therefore you keep accumulating results. "

2 " Persistence is the difference that separates winners and losers. It is the difference between success and failure. Successful people fail and keep persisting. Unsuccessful people fail once and give up. It is well said that “we fall down, but we get back up again.” Failure is not falling down, it’s staying down. "

3 " the “10,000 hour rule.” The rule states that ten thousand hours of practice is required to achieve the level of world class mastery in anything. It seems that it takes the brain this long to assimilate all that it needs to know to achieve true mastery. Time on task is the number one predictor of academic success also. Those at the top of the success list spend the most time on task or goals. Those at the bottom spend the least amount of time on task. It’s that simple.  Again, persistence is the difference that makes a difference. "

4 " Do what you love, and you will love what you do. Knowing what you want is the key to the growth and development of persistence. Knowing what you want will allow you to form definiteness of purpose. Some call this a “made up mind”. It’s hard to stop a person with a “made up mind”. Make up your mind and decide what you want, and you will be persistent. "
