What in the world is MOXIE?

If you look up “moxie” in any of the easily available online dictionaries, you will find that it originated as the trademark for a soft drink, first introduced back in 1884.  In fact, you can still buy Moxie – at www.buymoxie.com .  (No, I don’t get a cut.)  Over time the trademark came into general use as a noun meaning energy, pep, determination, and perseverance.  A person who has “moxie” gets things done.

Think about this. 

"Nothing in this 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."
