Persistence Is Newest Category for Words of Wisdom
Our “Words of Wisdom” feature on our website continues to grow as we add our 22nd category today. A glance at today’s headlines might convince you that timing is everything when it comes to our current subject choice … persistence.
Federal regulators seized the assets of the largest regulated thrift to fail and the second-largest financial institution to close in U.S. history. Home prices continue to tumble. Foreclosures are rising. Credit is tighter than ever. $5 gas is predicted by summer’s end. Food prices are skyrocketing. Iran’s testing missiles. Weather’s gone amuck. Stores are closing from coast to coast. Jobs become more scarce daily. Add to this growing list the challenges of immigration, social security, energy, veterans, trade balance, education, health care, foreign policy, military, global competition, abortion, affirmative action, the budget deficit, tax reform, campaign reform, crime, death penalty, drugs, foreign relations, gay rights, guns, labor unions, the environment and our obvious lack of strong Presidential candidates as we approach November. Whew! Had enough?
It took a great deal of “persistence” to simply finish reading that list of downers. We’re going to need even more persistence to weather this perfect storm of challenges currently confronting the nation.
Read what some of the greatest minds in our history had to say about the importance and benefits of maintaining persistence during trying times. You might want to share a few of these thoughts with others who could use a boost. You’ll both benefit from the investment of just a few moments.
Also feel free to check out our in-depth offering of quotes on many subjects should you be in need of a refreshing thought, idea, slogan or profound nugget for an upcoming meeting, presentation, or lunch room bulletin board.
We offer interesting quotes on the subjects of leadership, teamwork, customer service, time management, goals, change, motivation, sales, potential, gender, creativity, repetition, enthusiasm, employees, attitude, networking, fear, sense of urgency, passion, empowerment, women, and now persistence.
