It has happened often throughout my life. In the end it comes down to the fact that they cant beat you if you wont quit. May I refer you to Calvin Coolidge on the subject of Persistence.
“Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and Determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “Press On” has solved and will always solve the problems of the human race.”
Calvin Coolidge 30TH US PRESIDENT
