How to Develop
Persistence --- Napoleon Hill
a.
DEFINITENESS OF PURPOSE. Knowing what one wants is the first
and, perhaps, the most important step toward the development of persistence. A
strong motive forces one to surmount many difficulties.
b. DESIRE. It is
comparatively easy to acquire and to maintain persistence in pursuing the
object of intense desire.
c.
SELF-RELIANCE. Belief in one's ability to carry out a plan
encourages one to follow the plan through with persistence. (Self-reliance can
be developed through the principle described in the chapter on
auto-suggestion).
d. DEFINITENESS
OF PLANS. Organized plans, even though they may be weak and
entirely impractical, encourage persistence.
e. ACCURATE
KNOWLEDGE. Knowing that one's plans are sound, based upon
experience or observation, encourages persistence; "guessing" instead
of "knowing" destroys persistence.
f. CO-OPERATION.
Sympathy, understanding, and harmonious cooperation with others tend to develop
persistence.
g.
WILL-POWER. The habit of concentrating one's thoughts upon the
building of plans for the attainment of a definite purpose, leads to
persistence.
h. HABIT.
Persistence is the direct result of habit. The mind absorbs and becomes a part
of the daily experiences upon which it feeds. Fear, the worst of all enemies,
can be effectively cured by forced repetition of acts of courage. Everyone who
has seen active service in war knows this.
