PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT TIP
Tenacity of Purpose
Success in life depends on tenacity of purpose more than on any other single factor. A moderate ambition seen through to a successful conclusion is far more worthwhile than a grandiose scheme abandoned when difficulties crop up.
Many people appear to fritter away their abilities and talents on uncompleted tasks. They launch many ventures but finish few. A few carry on despite all obstacles and opposition, until they attain their goal. Any long term goal in life can be attained only by mastering the obstacles encountered on the way. You know the famous proverb: ‘A rolling stone gathers no moss’. The wanderer with no specific destination gets lost on the side roads. He never “arrives”.
To develop tenacity of purpose you must comprehend clearly one fundamental principle of life. Life is not all smooth-sailing, it proceeds by fits and starts. Periods when things go well alternate with slow periods when progress appears almost at a standstill.
To achieve tenacity of purpose, you must recognize that the bad patches are part of the natural order. They occur to every one and in all endeavours. Eventually, success comes to the person who keeps on regardless of setbacks. Also, if we stubbornly exhaust our energy in wild goose chases and hug illusions, we spoil our chances of staging a come-back.
