There's a quote I always come back to: “A river cuts through rock not because of its power, but because of its persistence.” It's not about force. It's about not quitting. The rock gave way because the river was patient, consistent, and refused to stop. Just like Rome wasn't built in a day, neither is success. This past year taught me that 90% of success is just refusing to accept no. If you can hold out for that one-in-a-million yes, you'll never lose.
