If I persist, if I continue to try, if I continue to charge forward I will succeed And I will persist until I succeed I was not delivered into this world in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd I am I lion and I refuse to talk to walk to sleep with the sheep I will hear not those who weep and complain for their disease is contagious Let them join the sheep The slaughter house of failure is not my destiny I will persist until I succeed The prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning And it is not given to me to know how many steps are necessary to reach my goal Failure I may still encounter at the 1000th step yet success hides behind the next bend in the road Never will I know how close it lies unless I turn the corner Always will I take another step If that is of no avail I will take another and yet another One step at a time is not too difficult I will persist until I succeed I will never consider defeat and I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as Quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable Hopeless, and retreat; for they are the words of fools I will avoid despair but if this disease of the mind should infect me, then I will work on in despair I will toil and I will endure I will ignore the obstacles at my feet and I will keep my eyes on the goals above my head I know that where dry desert ends green grass grows I will persist until I succeed I will try and try again Each obstacle I will consider as a mere detour to my goal And I will persist and develop my skills as the mariner develops his By learning to ride out the wrath of each storm I will persist and I will succeed Henceforth I will learn and apply another secret of those who excel Never will I allow any day to end with a failure thus will I plant the seed of tomorrow's success I will persist and I will succeed Nor will I allow yesterday success to lulled me into today's complacency for this Is the great foundation of failure I will forget the happenings of the day that is gone whether they were good or bad And greet the new sun with confidence that this will be the best day of my life So long as there is breath in me, that long will I persist For now I know one of the greatest principles of success If I persist long enough I will win I will persist and I will win Nothing on Earth can defeat me
