Understand the power of persistence

Too often we give up on things too soon, when persisting a bit longer would have yielded the results we were after. Over time, persistent forces can do almost unbelievable things. Also, new research suggests that people operating at ‘genius’ level at a particular skill weren’t necessarily born with it, but instead acquired it through persisting through 10,000 hours of effortful practice.

What did you once try to achieve but gave up on it? Perhaps now you have more knowledge or resources to make it work? Give it another try!
