I found the following writeup from a speech made by Calvin Coolidge our 30th President of the United States. Take time and think about this as applied to sales:

PERSISTENCE, DETERMINATION: KEY TO SUCCESS. “Nothing in the world, can take the place of PERSISTENCE and DETERMINATION: Talent will not; nothing is more common, than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; un rewarded genius is almost a proverb.

“Nothing in the world, can take the place of PERSISTENCE and DETERMINATION:

Talent will not; nothing is more common, than unsuccessful people with talent.

Genius will not; un rewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. PERSISTENCE and DETERMINATION alone, are almost omnipotent. Now I'm not saying you should not get an education, but you can have an education, and be weak inside, and never experience the opportunity that education could have provided for you, because you just didn't have the persistence and determination to make it happen.”

—–Attributed to Calvin Coolidge 30th President of the USA.
