Perseverence
Two months into translating my book,
25 Lessons I've Learned, into Spanish, I am worn for the wear.
Yet, being ¾ into Shackleton’s great book—South, the journal of his escape from the icy hell of Antarctica—with each page I am prodded to press on in my own endeavor.
Hence, my thoughts steer toward perseverance today:
“Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men who kept on working.” Dale Carnegie
“Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.” —John Quincy Adams
“Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.” —Newt Gingrich
“Great works are performed not by strength, but by perseverance” —Samuel Johnson
