by Happy Wednesday!
Perseverance is one of my key traits that I encourage others to always attempt to demonstrate. Other terms which have been used to refer to the same quality are tenacity & doggedness. No matter what you call it, these are a few of the essential characteristics that I look for when identifying people to hire and/or mentor. If you personify perseverance as Dictionary.com defines it, then you are someone that can achieve any task assigned.
As you approach this Wednesday’s massive to do list, here are seven quotes to keep you inspired and keep you focused on demonstrating perseverance no matter the challenges you may face:
