Are You Persistent In Your Pursuit Of Success? By Jack Klemeyer Achieving success in life no matter how one may define what successful is will always be dependent on being persistent. A river cuts through a rock, not because of the power of the river, but from the persistence of the river on the rock. No matter what your success goals are, be it in business, sports or even family life, being persistent will always play an important role. Being persistent is defined as continuing to move on with whatever goal has been planned even though an external event or initial losses may have slowed down, or temporarily halted a person while she’s on her way in her trip towards achieving her goals in life. Look no further than the career of Professional Football quarterback Gino Smith with the Seattle Seahawks. Smith has been in the professional ranks since 2013 and has been with three professional teams before he signed with Seattle. According to Gino, even though he didn’t get the opportunity to start in the game that many times, he prepared every day, every week as if he would start. His motto was that no one would out work him. There’s a quote by legendary basketball coach John Wooden that says “When opportunity comes, it’s too late to prepare.” Gino Smith proved that to be true.
