The perseverance: an unavoidable skill.
Hi everybody, I think that we need perseverance in life. Perseverance is important because you will succeed in life with that. For example, perseverance can help you to do all the study that you want to do. If you study, you will be able to have a good future. Perseverance can also help you in other aspects of your life. It can help you if you have difficulty to find an apartment or it will help you to find the right job that you want to do in future. In my life, I need to be perseverant, in my studies but also in the rest of my life. For example, I already had personal issues. So, I tried to get help to feel better. I try to call helplines because when I have problems, it affects me all the time. No matter what I tried to do, I was not able to solve my problems and feel better. I cannot have the support of my parents because even if they tell me that they are not judging, they are always judging me when I am not feeling well. For example, at school, I want to succeed, and my mom wants that too. If I have 59% or less, my mom will judge me. For example, I got 41% in a math exam that worth 3% of the session. When I told my mom that I failed, she told me that I will never succeed at school. My mom already told me that she does not accept me when I am not feeling well. Nobody is perfect. But we are all able to do better the next time. Perseverance is an important skill in life because even if you are always judged in life and that the other people do not support you, you can always succeed even if you failed one time.
Now it is your turn to think:
1-Do you think that perseverance is important in life? Why or why not?
2- What are your future projects? How will you do them? Will you need perseverance to do them? Why or why not?
@patientShell1003 Thanks for sharing! To not have the support of your parents is tough, especially since they are ideally supposed to protect and guide us. I think perseverance is important- as long as you are wise about it. Perseverance is good for studying, for writing long novels, for reading hard books, for making elaborate art projects, for nurturing relationships, for running, for making sure you get the help or job you need. But, you have to also know when to stop, because sometimes putting your head down and working towards your goals is not enough. I became anorexic and suicidal in college, but I didn't allow myself to drop out of college because I was good at persevering. It nearly killed me. Persevering is good, but sometimes it helps to pause and consider whether your goals are the right goals to be pursuing at the moment or if another goal needs to be addressed instead. I want to...I don't know. Currently, I have a job, but I am so depressed and lonely that I have lost all direction in my life and I have no goals. I was going to say my goal is 'I want to live to 30', but I'm not sure if I really want that or not.
