A persistent person will almost always succeed...

Dear...

To be successful in life you need to master many things. It's helpful if you are talented and it is great if you have a good education but the one thing that stands out for me is persistence. Many educated and talented people have failed in life, but a persistent person will almost always succeed.

A persistent person has the ability to be determined to achieve something regardless the setbacks he or she encounters.

Persistence is something that can be developed:

1. Set your goal, understand what you want to achieve in life and why it is important for you.
• Without a clear goal and clear direction very little will be reached in life. 
• Understand your motivation: why is it important for you to reach your goals?
2. Create a plan and outline the steps you need to do.
• Be systematic in what you want to achieve. 
• Take one step at the time
• Know what you need to know and learn it
• Know what you need to be able to do and master it
• Have always a back up plan
3. Develop good habits and discipline
• Without good habits and discipline procrastination is likely to take over and you quickly will lose sight of your goal. 

Make sure you stay in positive and good spirit. You will not succeed immediately and many roadblocks will be on your way, failures are likely to happen but the persistent person succeeds despite failures and adversities.
