"Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement."
{ Matt Biondi }
You try and you fail. You try and you fail. After trying so many times and failing so many times, you'll give up trying altogether. One doesn't realize that give up is failing. You'll try again, with a different state of mind, and eventually achieve that you wish to obtain. That my friend, is called persistence. Persistence is giving up a million times, and trying a million more. It is changing attitude and mind to achieve something- something "extraordinary".
