The Importance Of Perseverance In Life

Every person on this earth experiences pain. There are no exceptions, no anomalies. The fact that we endure pain, does not mean that all we ever experience will be pain. Lance Armstrong once said, “Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.” From this, we can take that if we persevere, pain will eventually end, but if we surrender to that pain, we will suffer the effects for much longer than we would have had we pushed through the struggle. There are three main places where we can see success through perseverance: in our careers, emotions, and education. In all of these subjects, true success is achieved with plenty of perseverance. All of these are opportunities to connect with Lance Armstrong’s motivational statement regarding perseverance. If we take this and learn from it, we are likely to experience success in our own lives.

That one friend who he had been friends with from such a young age introduced Michael Vick to his favorite activity that also brought in money. Vick being a guy who trusted him and thought highly of his friend one day decided to try it out. That was the irresponsible decision that will eventually cost him. He served a sentence of 2 years in Prison for what he was charged for. Those 2 years then changed Vick, and showed him that he no longer would follow the path of an inmate, but have the life of a family man with such a great job.

As a child, we watch many Disney movies and read about different stories. However, many, if not all of us have, at some point, watched or read the story of Cinderella. It’s a story of a young girl who is thrown into adversity, but perseveres through these challenges with a positive outlook and the assistance of some “magical” entity, and lives “happily ever after.” There have been many deviations of Cinderella in order to diversify the story and make it applicable to all of the today’s youth. Despite the differences in character names or story titles, the original theme of perseverance is maintained throughout the numerous tales.

Why do we push past the obstacles to be happy? Happiness is golden to America. Perseverance is the Great Depression. Making it through this frivolous time was an achievement. Farms were going bankrupt, and my grandfather was about to lose more than anyone.

Many people suffer problems in the world today. This includes terrorism and tyranny. It includes kidnapping and hate crime. It can also be cancer and starvation. Many have lived through problems like these and told the tale because they persevered. Through Hillenbrand’s Unbroken, Wiesel’s Night, and Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, perseverance is emphasized the readers by writing about characters, whether they are survivors of the Holocaust, a prisoner of war, or family, that have to suffer obstacles that can potentially kill them if they don’t overcome it. Even though each author has a different way to show perseverance, they all agree on what perseverance can do. Persevering through unfortunate situations

This past week I chose to apply the concept of perseverance with my youngest son, Paul. Paul is eleven years old and preparing to enter the sixth grade. This is a significant transition as he will be entering middle school. I selected this concept for several reasons not the least of which is the fact that performance character has not been an emphasis in my parenting style. Having served as his Sunday school teacher for all of his eleven years of life, he has a firm foundation in the area of moral character. Additionally, Paul struggles with math concepts. During the previous summer, I experimented with giving him a preview of the upcoming school year’s math curriculum. This yielded outstanding results in both his grades and his performance in standardized tests.

There are many ways to show courage, riding a new roller coaster, overcoming the fear of talking to someone new, or even just being tough when times are hard. The way that I showed courage was not giving up even when I am not the best at something. In seventh grade, I decided to try out for cheerleading since it seemed fun and lots of my friends were doing it. On the day of tryouts, I was super nervous because I did not want to make the junior varsity team since most of my friends would probably be on varsity. I thought that I would at least try so I could at least make the team next year. I was hoping that the risk would pay off.

Anyone who lives has or will experienced hardship. A plane crash in the Andes which caused the death of 29 people including the friends, and family of a man named Nando Parrado. Nando experienced many hardships in just over 2 months said “Even here, even as we suffer, life is still worth living.” He shows the value of life with his words of experience ,and wisdom.

Perseverance is the ability to forge ahead despite setbacks that threaten to undermine all efforts to succeed.

As soon as Hitler’s army bombarded our cities in London we all cowered in our homes, thinking of the gruesome stories told by the immigrants who migrated here, replayed in our heads. His disposition of world dominion was functioning fine, for he had already seized Poland, Austria, and France and many other countries were surrendering out of fear. As we all trembled in our homes, Churchill stood strong and brave, determined to not let Germany overcome our steadfast nation. On September 1940 the ferocious air raids rained down with such force that, within days charred pieces of land and buildings lay smoldering in a heap of black ashes. Our courageous firefighters saved lives, saved buildings, and saved our hope of

Perseverance is key of importance in college. When a student like most student faces challenges, those who persevere just like Michael Jordan through these adversities use this perseverance to help them.
