“Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.”
Newt Gingrich
I try not to repeat quotes, but sometimes they are worth repeating. I last used this quote in December 2019; so much change has happened worldwide since then. Yet, hard work is still hard work, and persistence and discipline still pay off.
Think back to five years ago. What were you working on? Do you even remember? This is an excellent reminder that even when you are mired in hard work, time will pass, and you likely won’t remember how hard it was. You’ll remember quitting, though, so don’t give up—never give up.
