Blog Post: ANYONE CAN QUIT WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, BUT A THOROUGHBRED NEVER QUITS UNTIL HE WINS

The "going" is always hard on the road to greatness. If success were easy, everyone would achieve it. NFL All-Pro lineman Brian Holoway recalled that when he was playing for the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Raiders, there wasn’t a single day when he didn’t feel like giving up because the road was too tough and the sacrifices were too great. He didn’t quit, of course; he was willing to pay the price because he was determined to succeed.

True Thoroughbreds never quit. Competition only spurs them on, and obstacles merely reinforce their determination to succeed. There will be obstacles, but you need to finds ways around them and through them.

If you have not yet achieved greatness in your life, maybe it is because you have been willing to settle for less. Have you set goals for yourself and a plan to achieve those goals? Are you afraid to try your best because you might actually get what you want? Would you rather avoid the game altogether, than come in second place?

You may not cross the finish line in first place every time, but if you stay in the race, you will eventually prevail. It is diligence and perseverance that pays off in the long "run".

So, when the going gets tough, especially when hunting for the right job, keep running!
