Overnight success stories take a long time.

Patience is a key element of success.

Learn the art of patience. Apply discipline to your thoughts when they become anxious over the outcome of a goal. Impatience breeds anxiety, fear, discouragement and failure. Patience creates confidence, decisiveness, and a rational outlook, which eventually leads to success.

I was relentless, even in the face of total lack of encouragement, because much more often than you'd think, sheer persistence is the difference between success and failure.

He who has infinite patience and infinite energy at his back, will alone succeed.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
