    ORATION

    I will persist until I succeed.


    I will persist until I succeed.

    Ladies and gentlemen, I was not delivered unto this world in defeat,
    nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a
    sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd. I
    am a lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep
    with the sheep. I will hear not those who weep
    and complain, for their disease is contagious. Let
    them join the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure
    is not my destiny.

    I will persist until I succeed.

    The prizes of life are at the end of each journey,


    not near the beginning; and it is not given to me to
    know how many steps are necessary in order to
    reach my goal. Failure I may still encounter at the
    thousandth step, yet success hides behind the next
    bend in the road. Never will I know how close it
    lies unless I turn the corner.

    Always will I take another step. If that is of no


    avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth,
    one step at a time is not too difficult.

    I will persist until I succeed.

    Henceforth, I will consider each day's effort as


    but one blow of my blade against a mighty oak.
    The first blow may cause not a tremor in the wood,
    nor the second, nor the third. Each blow, of itself,
    may be trifling, and seem of no consequence. Yet
    from childish swipes the oak will eventually tum-
    ble. So it will be with my efforts of today.

    I will be liken to the rain drop which washes


    away the mountain; the ant who devours a tiger;
    the star which brightens the earth; the slave who
    builds a pyramid. I will build my castle one brick
    at a time for I know that small attempts, repeated,
    will complete any undertaking.

    I will persist until I succeed.

    I will never consider defeat and I will remove


    from my vocabulary such words and phrases as
    quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the ques-
    tion, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless,
    and retreat; for they are the words of fools. I will
    avoid despair but if this disease of the mind should
    infect me then I will work on in despair. I will toil
    and I will endure. I will ignore the obstacles at my
    feet and keep mine eyes on the goals above my
    head, for I know that where dry desert ends, green
    grass grows.

    I will persist until I succeed.

    I will remember the ancient law of averages


    and I will bend it to my good. I will persist with
    knowledge that each failure to sell will increase
    my chance for success at the next attempt. Each
    nay I hear will bring me closer to the sound of yea.
    Each frown I meet only prepares me for the smile
    to come. Each misfortune I encounter will carry in
    it the seed of tomorrow's good luck. I must have
    the night to appreciate the day. I must fail often to
    succeed only once.

    I will persist until I succeed.

    I will try, and try, and try again. Each obstacle


    I will consider as a mere detour to my goal and a
    challenge to my profession. I will persist and de-
    velop my skills as the mariner develops his, by
    learning to ride out the wrath of each storm.

    I will persist until I succeed.

    Henceforth, I will learn and apply another secret


    of those who excel in my work. When each day is
    ended, not regarding whether it has been a success
    or a failure, I will attempt to achieve one more
    sale. When my thoughts beckon my tired body
    homeward I will resist the temptation to depart. I
    will try again. I will make one more attempt to
    close with victory, and if that fails I will make an-
    other. Never will I allow any day to end with a
    failure. Thus will I plant the seed of tomorrow's
    success and gain an insurmountable advantage
    over those who cease their labor at a prescribed
    time. When others cease their struggle, then mine
    will begin, and my harvest will be full.

    I will persist until I succeed.

    Nor will I allow yesterday's success to lull me


    into today's complacency, for this is the great
    foundation of failure. I will forget the happenings
    of the day that is gone, whether they were good or
    bad, and greet the new sun with confidence that
    this will be the best day of my life.

    So long as there is breath in me, that long will


    I persist. For now I know one of the greatest prin-
    ciples of success; if I persist long enough I will win.

    I will persist.

    I will win.
