Answer:
We strive to reach heights, achieve greatness and be successful in life. But at times, it seems difficult. However, we should doggedly and determinedly chase success. One great quality that always helps us achieve success is PERSEVERANCE.
Perseverance is a miracle-working virtue; if you have it, you can accomplish anything. Success in any field is the fruit borne on the tree of perseverance. There is no single example in the entire human race that is an exception. All great personalities and personages, who have left indelible prints of their lives on the sands of eternity, are the men and women who converted their failures into success through perseverance. Perseverance actually is going from one failure to another without losing the enthusiasm to face more failures. All great personages whom we adore as role-models of success such as Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Isaac Newton, Socrates, Thomas Edison, Abraham Lincoln, Charlie Chaplin, Henry Ford, Bill Gates, Walt Disney, Helen Keller, Mahatma Gandhi, and so on achieved greatness through perseverance only.
All the above mentioned names share one common thing; they were not quitters; they were winners. They knew the secret to be successful. They faced myriads of obstacles and hindrances without compromising with their vision and mission. They were ready to face as many failures as were required in order to be successful. I will only quote one or two life examples from the list. Helen Keller, who lost her hearing and seeing power due to sum fatal disease in her early childhood, faced the darkness of failure on almost every step of her life! Did she give up? No! She diligently sowed the seeds of her hopped and aspirations in the dark soil of failures! What a miracle women she turned out to be! She is one of the most successful women the world has ever known! Not only she learnt to speak; she earned a degree for herself from Radcliffe College. She became a famous figure of inspiration and perseverance. She bettered and inspired many lives!
Similarly, Nick also proved to the world that all obstacles crumble in front of a man or woman of strong will and determination. Born with tetra-amelia syndrome, a rare disorder characterized by the absence of arms and legs, this great man overcame all his disabilities through sheer optimism.
Abraham Lincoln failed approximately 12 times before he was elected the president of America. The biographies or autobiographies of each successful man or woman reminds us of the obvious fact that failures are inescapable and unavoidable part of the adventure we call success. The one great lesson to be learnt from these amazing personages is the lesson of perseverance, determination and acceptance of failures without losing heart and the sight of our goal. The following lines of a famous poem aptly describe the spirit of perseverance:
‘When the things go wrong, as they sometime will,
When the road you are trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
