From President Calvin Coolidge:
“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”
You will find nothing more important. Wonder how that guy who doesn't write nearly as well as others ends up on the top 100? He's probably been ramming his head against the wall until he managed to push through.
Wonder why the guy who can write a page that reads like God himself wrote it hasn't published a thing? Because he didn't push through and is waiting for "Something" to happen to make his writing good enough. And it'll never be good enough.
Keep pushing. Because only by pushing through will you find success.
