Mark Burnett's (Survivor Producer) View on Tenacity

The following is taken from the Executive Producer of the TV show “Survivor”, Mark Burnett’s book Dare to Succeed—How to Survive and Thrive in the Game of Life

“I’m comfortable with risk—it’s synonymous with tenacity and never letting go. Mere tenacity can overcome enormous odds. When combined with a healthy fear of failure, goals can be achieved instead of dropped by the wayside. Dreams are realized. Failure is never fatal, merely a setback. Tenacity empowers me to do anything (within moral and ethical limits) to succeed. I knew that tenacity, combined with my desire to succeed, would eventually get me where I wanted.”
