Summary
Persistence is a fundamental trait to develop in life because it is closely related to personal
development and improvement. Expertise and knowledge are of little use if you are not
persistent. There is no doubt that hard work surpasses talent. In the end, what matters most
is how you perform.

Alden Mills is the author of Be Unstoppable: The Importance of Persistence for

Success. Mills tells how he overcame asthma to become an elite soldier and
entrepreneur. He proposes eight proven actions to overcome bad habits, achieve
goals and thus achieve success. Planning in three dimensions (define, divide and
develop) is an act of great importance to achieve success, according to Alder Mills.
Mills says his successes started with exercise, hence the importance he places on
physical training. Thirty minutes of exercise a day can become your secret weapon
to make your dreams come true.

When you have to give everything, despite pain and suffering, moments when you
identify your reasons for believing. And, when you finally do, your life changes
forever, because you learn to believe in yourself. Your reason for believing in yourself
is your secret weapon to succeed, no matter how big the obstacles you face.
