The Habit of Being Persistence
“Failure is only postponed success as long as courage
coaches’ ambition. The habit of persistence is
the habit of victory.”
—Herbert Kaufman (American writer and
newspaperman)
What is persistence? Well, it means something that you
are sticking to, no matter what and that something will
last for a larger period of time.
Persistence is one of the key factors to be successful.
Successful personalities believe in hard work, sincere
efforts, patience and persistence.
We find it easy to begin with something, as long as it is
going well, we tend to continue the process of going ahead
with it, but the minute you feel you are facing hurdles coming in, you start experiencing obstacles, you find it
difficult to continue and as a result you want to stop the
process. Persistence is all about sticking to what you have
decided to do in spite of challenges occurring!
Who is persistent?
Someone, who has a vision in life.
Someone, who has a mission in life.
Someone, who has understood her / his purpose of
life.
Someone, who has a burning desire to do something
productive and help others too.
Someone, who is inspired by her / his own act.
You must know what you are doing and why? If you
are determined to achieve something, you know you are
persistent and you will know come what may you can
achieve your goal.
There is an incident I would like to share about a man,
named Dashrath Manjhi – The mountain man.
Dashrath Manjhi was a labourer who lived in Gehlaur
village near Gaya in Bihar, India. It took one accident,
which changed the course of his life entirely and that was
the death of his beloved wife.
Dashrath worked as an agricultural labourer on a hill.
He was waiting for his wife Falguni Devi to bring him his
lunch and water. He waited for a while and then came in search of her and there he found her injured. She had
slipped and fallen off the rocky mountain, which caused
major injury and the doctors were not available nearby.
She eventually died but she gave birth to a baby girl as she
was pregnant.
The nearest hospital was 60-70 kms away and the
mighty mountain was the hindrance.
This whole episode shook Dashrath to no end, and he
decided to break the mountain, all by himself.
A determined Dashrath, armed with a hammer and a
chisel decided to break the mountain and carve a path, it
took him a good twenty- two years of his life to reach his
goal. He finished this herculean task despite facing major
hurdles and obstacles.
Dashrath Majhi has proved, no great achievement is
possible without great efforts.
Inspired Action
It is only persistence which will make you reach your
goals.
