Napoleon Hill's opinion on persistence
The international bestseller book of author Napoleon Hill ‘Think and Grow Rich’ has contains an entire chapter for this ‘Persistence’. Napoleon Hill has given steps for becoming rich or you can say the qualities one should posses for being successful. I would like to quote one paragraph of this chapter which really made me move my butt and do something. (I guess this will also help you to move your butt).
“You may find it necessary to “snap out of” your mental inertia (a tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged) through a similar procedure, moving slowly at first, then increasing your speed, until you gain complete control over your will. Be persistent no matter what how slowly you may, at first, have to move. With persistence will come success.”
