Staying Power.Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill and many other great men and women all had it.It was that ability which made them different from being simple dreamers and wishers. They had to have it to make their dreams and aspirations become a reality.This is the kind of attitude that we all need to have.Some people are born that way and luckily for the rest of us, it can be learnt. Staying power requires persistence, consistency and a "never say die" attitude.With practice one can develop their staying power in any area of life they are engaged.
