SYMPTOMS OF LACK OF PERSISTENCE
Here you will find the real enemies which
stand between you and noteworthy achievement. Here you will find not only the
“symptoms” indicating weakness of PERSISTENCE, but also the deeply seated subconscious
cause of this weakness. Study the list carefully, and face yourself squarely IF
YOU REALLY WISH TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE, AND WHAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF DOING.

- Procrastination, with or without cause. (Usually backed up with a formidable array of alibis and excuses).
- Lack of interest in acquiring specialized knowledge.
- Indecision, the habit of “passing the buck” on all occasions, instead of facing issues squarely.
- The habit of relying upon alibis instead of creating definite plans for the solution of problems.
- Self-Satisfaction. There is but a little remedy for this affliction, and no hope for those who suffer from it.
- Indifference, usually reflected in one’s readiness to compromise on all occasions, rather than meet opposition and fight it.
- The habit of blaming others for one’s mistake, and accepting unfavorable circumstances as being unavoidable.
- WEAKNESS OF DESIRE, due to neglect in the choice of MOTIVES that impel action.
- Willingness, even eagerness, to quit at the first sign of defeat.
- Lack of ORGANIZED PLANS, placed in writing where they may be analyzed.

General absence of ambition to be, to do, and to own.1.FEAR OF CRITICISM, failure to create plans and to put them into action, because of what other people will think, do, or say.
