Persistence

I made this video for a presentation I gave at my work on persistence and never giving up. Watch as my golf game slowly improves, I do more push ups, write stories and do the levitating card trick.


Quotes on Persistence:
"Nothing in the world can take 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 alone are omnipotent."
Calvin Coolidge

"The heights by great men reached and kept / Were not attained by sudden flight, / But they, while their companions slept, / Were toiling upward in the night."

"Nothing could be worse than the fear that one had given up too soon, and left one unexpended effort that might have saved the world."
