Men credited with all kinds of ability, talent, brains and know how, including the ability to see into the future, frequently have nothing more than the courage to keep everlastingly at what they set out to do.

Staying with time take bulldog persistence. This seems to be the entrance examination to success - lasting success -- of any kind!
