Another example, the new Admiral Peary reached the North Pole after trying 8 times. While Edison experiment 1000 times before successfully finding the light bulb and the most 1000 patent of all time.

President of the USA to 30, Calvin Coolidge said, “There is nothing in this world that can replace persistence. Talent? It’s very common people who did not succeed because he was only relying on talent. Intelligence? So many people are intelligent but do not have anything. Higher education? In this world so many people displaced by high educated. Persistence and determination alone are a great power.”
Environment consists of the people, and is a very influential factor to the persistence of a person.
