Talent gets you noticed; persistence gets you paid.
means The quality of continuing to try, steadily and repeatedly, especially in the face of obstacles or delay.
from From Latin persistere — per- ('thoroughly, all the way through') plus sistere ('to stand, to take a stand'). So literally it means to stand your ground, completely, without budging. The word walked into English in the 16th century via French, carrying that same stubborn posture: not motion, but a refusal to stop standing where you planted yourself.
