Failure is a wolf; the faster you run, the faster it chases. The only way to conquer failure is to fight it, persist until—the last 5 minutes.
Amway's success today was not without challenges. In fact, we have faced many difficulties and problems, but we have faced them bravely. As for the so-called secrets, they are actually simple—mainly because we have continuously summarized the experience of predecessors and combined these lessons with an unyielding spirit. As long as we persist, success is inevitable. —Steve W. Anthony, Chairman of the Amway Global Board of Directors
Salespeople must master themselves, understand human nature, and enjoy interacting with people. They must stand up and speak eloquently—even if others think it's foolish—must persist until the end. Almost all buyers will reject you at first, so excellent salespeople will persist until the buyer nods in agreement. —William Wrigley Jr., Founder of Wrigley's Gum
Why do some people grow stronger in the face of adversity, while others collapse like a house of cards? Why do some companies weather crises while others teeter on the brink of bankruptcy? What factors ultimately determine success or failure? Anyone who persists and ultimately wins believes in these principles:
● Difficulties are inevitable;
● Every difficulty is temporary;
● Every difficulty hides an opportunity;
● Persistence leads to victory.
Only those who persist will succeed, while those who give up halfway are destined to fail. All life wisdom and business experience tell us:
● Successful employees persist, while failing employees give up;
● Successful managers persist, while failing managers give up;
● Successful entrepreneurs persist, while unemployed entrepreneurs give up;
● Successful companies persist, while failing companies give up.
Every success comes from facing difficulties with a positive attitude and persisting until the end. Success belongs to those who persist until—the last 5 minutes!
This book explains that the dividing line between success and failure in the path of career lies in your perseverance. At the end of the day, success is the art of persistence, and sometimes it comes down to those critical—the last 5 minutes.
