"Determination brings success” as we rightly say or when advising people.
Have you ever wondered how some famous personalities achieved great heights of success? How did they stay positive despite failure? However, they kept on going, remained persistent, and their perseverance helped them to reach the peak of the mountain.

Research has found that perseverance is a primary character strength linked to school achievement, productivity and success at work. Your perseverance keeps you engaged, focused and connected with what you are doing, perseverance is not only a strength to help you accomplish your goals and dreams, it is also your strength of engagement.

 Start taking full ownership of the goals you have set to achieve, you perceive to control your own fate, start thinking as a firm believer as if your destiny is in your hands.

 Although, failure at the start or beginning of the project or task can lead to frustration, and it shatters the self-confidence you had at the beginning and you might be considering on giving up that your goal or dreams because you once failed and you didn’t feel you can ever succeed in life; wrong.
Remember Stephen Grover Cleveland was an American politician and lawyer who was the 22nd and 24th President of the United States. Grover Cleveland was elected President (1884) and then lost his re-election campaign (1888) and came back again to win the presidency for a second time (1892).
 Similarly, just like Muhammadu Buhari, a current Nigerian politician, currently serving as the President of Nigeria, he unsuccessfully ran for the office of the President of Nigeria in the (2003), (2007) and (2011) general elections, but in December (2014), he emerged as the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress for the March (2015) general elections. Buhari won the election defeating the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan and this marked the first time in the history of Nigeria that an incumbent President lost to an opposition candidate in a general election.

Success isn’t a way, path or a straight line. It is a confused road with various ups and downs, and you should navigate it with popular care. You might fall or fail in the beginning or even get lost in your way. However, with perseverance, you will eventually reach your destination.
