Perseverance is a trait that overcomes almost all shortcomings. I am not exactly sure it is one of my stronger skills, but I do know that it is a skill that can be developed. I believe many misunderstand successful people, as if they were born with all the natural ability to succeed, when the truth is they work diligently to develop habits that lend themselves to success. Either way, perseverance can be developed through hard work and dedication. This article gives some great advice on how to prepare your mind for the journey:

I’m a person with a great amount of perseverance. I think that is a natural ability that one has or not, but also believe that when sometimes one has to stand back and analyse whether one course of action is worth to continue or not if it doesn’t give results. As for success perseverance in itself doesn’t necessarily guarantee success. Other factors are involved in what we define success nowadays such as luck, outside help, right contacts, finances, circumstances, health etcetera.
