Prompt:People who have achieved success do not give up easily.On the other hand , people who fall short of their goals give up too soon.Persistence is in the blood of those who make it to the top.
Assignment:Is persistence all that is needed to be successful?

Essay:

When Jinnah , the founder of Pakistan was elected as its first chief executive , it was his persistence that fulfilled his destiny and brought hope to the Muslim minority in the subcontinent.Ostensibly speaking , persistence is all that is needed to be successful.
Jinnah , in struggling for a separate homeland for Muslims faced many hurdles.He was ridiculed, heckled and censured by the massive Hindu opposition on scores of occasions. Under such an immense stress , he could have easily given up on his dream.After all he was an established lawyer with quite a comfortable living.And yet he did not.Why? Because he believed in himself and despite of numerous failures , his persistence dragged him forward.Persistence brought him success and hope to millions of Muslims of the Sub-Continent who now were now blessed with a separate homeland.
Successful people infact donot give up that easily. Failure overshadows their short successes and tends to swallow what they achieved. But from all the stories of those who succeed in fulfilling their dreams and ambitions , one thing they have in abundance is persistence. Look at Galileo for example.When he deduced that the earth revolved around the sun, he was met with severe criticism from the church and the priests who were adamant about the way that they percieved the universe.Yet Galileo did not give up on his ideas but continued to work in his capacity.Result: His findings now form the basis of cosmology and have been proven time and again.
I conclude by stating that all people dream.Some work to fulfill them.Few live them.And few people who do constitute those who were persistent in pursuing their ambitions and who were not overwhelmed by the failures they met with.Persistence is infact all that is needed to become successful.Rest of the ingredients follow shortly.
