I'm glad everyone likes the quote. I did not recall it in your book. I found it the other day when I was researching David Rockefeller of all people. It immediately appealed to me because it takes away all excuses(I'm not good enough, smart enough, educated/priviledged, etc.)
It put the responsibility for success right where it should be, on determination, something that all mentally sound people have. No excuses or reasons why one can't, just a solid persistence of I will....

Bev, that is one of my favorite quotes. I like it so much that it has appeared in all three editions of my book.
I have come to believe that focus and persistence are the keys to achievement of one's goals.
"Nothing in this world 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 alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race"
