David Joseph Schwartz : Stickability

"Just enough sense to stick with something—a chore, task, project, until it's completed pays off much better than idle intelligence, even if idle intelligence be of genius caliber." ~ David J. Schwartz from The Magic of Thinking Big 

How about a new word: "stickability"—the ability to stick with something until it's done. As Schwartz says in his great book, The Magic of Thinking Big: "stickability is 95 percent of ability."

Amen. 

How's your stickability? Are you giving up too soon?!? 

Let's add the "stick" to our ability and watch our lives take off! :)

"Nothing in the 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 are omnipotent. The slogan ‘press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race." ~ Calvin Coolidge
