Solomon reminds us that "the race is not to the swift." Many persons are anxiously searching for the secret to success. Truly successful persons have already discovered that there is no secret, but there is a formula. And, thank God it's not a complex formula.

 

Paul says, "This one thing I do...to reach the goal for the prize." We ask, "What one thing?" Paul answers, "I press on."

 

Tom Hopkins reminds us that the number of times we succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times we can fail without giving up.

 

Paul says, "I press on." Colin Powell says,"There are no secrets to success. Don't waste time looking for them. Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty and persistence." Paul says, "I press on."

 

Finally, Coolidge says, "Nothing can take the place of persistence. Talent will not - nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not - unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not - the world is full of educated derelicts."

 

Persistence and determination hold the power. Paul says, "I press on."

 

No matter what you're going through, remember to keep pressing on.
