Study Notes
Persistence and Success
-
Aphorism: "I will persist until I succeed." This is the core theme throughout.
-
Mentality of a Lion: The author rejects the mentality of sheep, emphasizing personal agency and refusing to accept defeat or failure as inevitable.
-
Progressive Approach: Success is seen as a journey, not an immediate outcome. It's likened to chipping away at a massive oak, or a step-by-step building of a castle.
-
Importance of Each Attempt: Each effort, big or small, is viewed as important; each failure is a lesson. Even slight, seemingly insignificant attempts can eventually lead to remarkable results (like a drop of rain eroding a mountain).
-
Rejection of Limiting Beliefs: The author actively eliminates negative thinking ("quit, cannot, unable") and replaces them with positive, proactive language.
-
Learning from Failure: Failure is seen as a stepping stone, boosting future chances, like each failed sale building towards the eventual success. Each rejection gets the author closer to the desired outcome ("nay" leads to "yea", "frown" to "smile").
-
Continuous Learning and Growth: Success doesn't mean stopping. The author commits to relentless learning and skill development (like a mariner mastering storm riding).
-
Optimism and Momentum: The author emphasizes carrying forward positive energy; the drive to keep going and not being satisfied with yesterday's victories or letting a positive day inspire complacency. Each day is treated as the most important.
-
Focus on the Future: The author advises forgetting the past (good or bad) and looking forward with determination for the best day yet.
-
Key Principles of Success: Persistent effort, learning from failure, and relentless action are essential to winning. The principle of building success, one action (a brick, a sale, a step) at a time, is highlighted. Reaching success is a gradual process, rather than an instantaneous event.
-
The Law of Averages: Utilizing this principle to work towards successful outcomes. Each failed attempt (selling) will lead to increased chances of success. Each "no" builds momentum for a "yes."
-
Overcoming Obstacles: Obstacles are seen as challenges to one’s profession and merely detours to the ultimate goal.
