How to have a productive new year

 Perseverance 


What are your core principles?  One of mine is to never give up. I am grateful that perseverance is somehow resident deep in my soul.  Winston Churchill had it too.  Remember the famous line in his speech where he said “never, never, never give up”?
 
When we, like Churchill, are experiencing overwhelming attack or bad odds we must keep our face square into the wind and press on.  Showing persistence will also encourage those who look to us.  Seeing our example, they are likely to mimic our perseverance and display this character quality to those they interact with.  

 

"Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did."  Newt Gingrich
