On a Labor Day visit to California Academy of Sciences, my family of four almost missed the beautiful 3D Bugs! Show as all the shows were sold out. We checked with the staff member disbursing the tickets for any availability to no avail. Rather than simply give up and walk away, we came back to him no less than 4 times. Finally, at show time he quickly ushered us! What a great show! In hindsight I would have been really disappointed to have not seen it. While we were waiting at a close distance to the theater, two four members families inquired and left when told no tickets are available.
Persistence is critical to success in all walks of life. As President Calvin Coolidge famously states “Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people 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. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race”

An equally relevant quote from Jim Rogers - "Be persistent. The people who are successful are not the smartest or the most gifted or the most talented… The people who are successful are the ones who are persistent, persevere, and follow their own passions."
