They who lack talent expect things to happen without effort. they ascribe failure to a lack of inspiration or ability, or to misfortune, rather than to insufficient application. at the core of every true talent there is an awareness of the difficulties inherent in any achievement, and the confidence that by persistence and patience something worthwhile will be realized. thus talent is a species of vigor.

More From Eric Hoffer

So i should be aware of the dangers of self-consciousness, but at the same time, i’ll be plowing through the fog of all these echoes, plowing through mixed metaphors, noise, and will try to show the core, which is still there, as a core, and is valid, despite the fog. the core is the core is the core. there is always the core, that can’t be articulated. only caricatured.

Lack of persistence is one of the major causes of failure. moreover, experience with thousands of people has proved that lack of persistence is a weakness common to the majority of men. it is a weakness which may be overcome with effort.

The line between failure and success is so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it. how many a person has thrown up his or her hands at a time when a little more effort, a little more patience, would have achieved success. a little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.
Determination Persistence Hands
A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success. there is no failure except in no longer trying. there is no defeat except from within, no really insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose.
Persistence Effort Trying
Persistence, persistence, and persistence. the power can be created and maintained through daily practice - continuous effort.

Awareness is observation without choice, condemnation, or justification. awareness is silent observation from which there arises understanding without the experiencer and the experienced. in this awareness, which is passive, the problem or the cause is given an opportunity to unfold itself and so give its full significance. in awareness there is no end in view to be gained, and there is no becoming, the 'me' and the 'mine' not being given the continuity.
Opportunity Views Giving
