Most of the time, no matter what goal we choose, we run on a success track staked out by those who have gone before us. And it is right that we do. But not everything others have done will work for you.
You may have to blaze a new trail, invent new ways on your own. Persistent people innovate. They investigate. They find a way. On those rare occasions they cannot change something, they adapt. Therefore, persistent adaptability is the key to your success, now and in the future.
