Wrestling a Gorilla



It takes perseverance and tenacity to be successful in life. We face many challenges in almost every area of our lives. It takes tenacity to graduate from school or to succeed in sports or to become an accomplished musician. When life gets tough, it's easy to give up.
John Maxwell said, "Being tenacious means giving all that you have, not more than you have...[and] quitting when the job is done, not when you're tired." I like the way Robert Strauss put it: "Success is a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired - you quit when the gorilla is tired." Press on! Great rewards come to those who do.
