Just wanted to share something I ran across in the Wall Street Journal - absolutely brilliant:
Tenacity Prayer
"Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." - Ray Kroc.
With the exception of the "politically incorrectness" of the 2nd line, Ray's words are well-put. There is no bigger factor to success than hard work and determination - what better motivation could one get?
