Perseverance...

"No one succeeds without effort... Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance." - Ramana Maharshi

"Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained." - Marie Curie

I'm a big fan of the whole "Where there's a will, there's a way" thinking. First and foremost though, intense desire and purpose would be required for this sort of determination. We're not going to persevere through just anything and maybe some people never feel this way! Maybe a chill life of enjoying a decent job and cherished loved ones is enough. We all have a right to enjoy our own particular path. Just sayin ;)
