[00:00.14]　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Perseverance
[00:05.17]Perseverance depends on three things-purpose, will, enthusiasm.
[00:10.46] He who has a purpose is always concentrating his forces.
[00:15.88]By the will, the hope and plan are prevented from evaporating into dreams,
[00:22.36]and a little gain is all the time being added. Enthusiasm keeps the interest up,
[00:29.64]and makes the obstacles seem small.
[00:32.98]The man who thinks to get on by mere smartness and
[00:37.61] by idling meets failure at last.
[00:40.89]Life is in a sense a battle.
[00:43.44] Perseverance is the master impulse of the firmest souls,
[00:48.13]and holds the key to those treasure-houses of knowledge
[00:52.23]from which the world has drawn its wealth both of wisdom and of moral worth.
[00:58.37]Great men never wait for opportunities;
[01:01.30]they make them. They seize upon whatever is at hand,
[01:05.73] work out their problem, and master the situation.
[01:09.53] The greatest thing a man can do in this world is
[01:13.32]to make the most possible out of the stuff
[01:16.93]that has been given to him. This is success,
[01:20.18]and there is no other.
[01:22.47]One of the first lessons of life is to learn how to get victory out of defeat.
[01:28.22]It takes courage and stamina,
[01:31.05]when mortified and embarrassed by humiliating disaster,
[01:35.30]to seek in the wreck or ruins the elements of future conquest.
[01:40.59] Yet this measures the difference between those
[01:44.31] who succeed and those who fail.
[01:46.53]You cannot measure a man by his failures.
[01:49.64]You must know what use he makes of them.
[01:53.51]A constant struggle, a ceaseless battle to bring success from hard surroundings,
[02:00.18] is the price of all great achievements.
[02:03.54]The man who has not fought his way upward,
[02:07.26]and does not bear the scar of desperate conflict,
[02:11.15] does not know the highest meaning of success.
