per·sist·ence firm or obstinate continuance in a course of
action in spite of difficulty or opposition.
In my own words persistence is to keep going and pushing
through even when it gets tough. In college you need a lot of persistence. As the year goes on I know the work will
become more difficult and I will have to really devote a lot of time to
studying and doing my homework. I have
to be persistent in order to keep my grades up.
When the work gets hard or overwhelming, I can’t just give up. Even
though that may seem like the easiest thing to do at the time. Persistence is about the outcome in the long
run. You have to keep your future in
sight in order to try your very best.
Some other words that relate closely with persistence are
patience and stoical. Patience is the ability to accept or tolerate delays,
problems, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious. Patience is a great trait to have, and if you
don’t have this trait working towards it would be a good idea. It’s hard to be patient all the time, especially
if you want something at that exact moment.
It’s better to have patience than to rush through life. Enjoy the little
things along the way. The word stoical
is one you probably don’t hear often. Stoical means enduring pain and hardship
without showing one's feelings or complaining.
This is a very hard thing to accomplish in my opinion, simply because I
love to complain. It’s definitely something
I need to keep working on. I think being a stoical person means to care less
about the little things, and focus on bigger things in life.
