True Definition of Persistence
Do you know Froy Candelario? Have you ever heard of his name? Froy Candelario is an agent based in Southern California.
He sells way too many homes. Anywhere from 300 to 400 homes per year for the last 10 years. He doesn’t even list his listing on MLS. He sells 80% of his home by himself which means he represented both buyer and seller sides to keep all his commission. He works with only 4 staff members. He is one of the super agent in the whole country. He gets his listing with only cold calling and door knocking. Quite amazing stats. He’s net worth is estimated at upward of $100 million.
Froy’s true story is not in his real estate stats. Originally Froy is from Mexico. He and a friend decided to come to the United States, the land of opportunity to escape poverty from Mexico. They cross the border by hanging on to the underside of a train. They rode for hours, clinging to the train for their lives. They had no idea where they were and they could not let go for fear of being run over by the train. The miles clicked by and they were getting extremely tired. Finally, Froy’s friend could not hang on any longer. He let go and was crushed. Froy was devastated by the loss of his friend, but vowed to hang on. Less than five minutes later the train stopped. Froy had reached his destination. He had made it to the United States.
The lesson that Froy learned from his immigration experience is that one componen of success is being able to hang on a little bit longer than the next guy.
That’s the true definition of persistence.
Persistence:
- the action or fact of persisting
- the quality or state of being persistent; especially : PERSEVERANCE
Persisting: to go on resolutely or stubbornly in spite of opposition, importunity, or warning
Perseverance: to persist in a state, enterprise, or undertaking in spite of counterinfluences, opposition, or discouragement.

I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
