PERSISTANCE > RESISTANCE
Whether in business, sports, friendly competition, or hobbies, no one wants to fail. We, idealistically at least, want to win in everything we do. Oftentimes, we get an inspired idea, a new hobby, a grandiose plan to make it out the hood. The grass is so green on the other side – how happy we could be when we make it rich, become famous, and master something that everyone will revere.

BOOKS NEVER LET ME DOWN.
Have you ever relied on someone to help you and they don’t come through when it counts, leaving you weak and utterly disappointed?
