PERSEVERANCE

-
Perseverance is genius covered in a resolute mind
Genius is infinite patience.
It is the protracted string of persistence.
It does not pay to hurry...
With the continuous heating and cooling of the rocks, it quakes
Its sheer doggedness covered in purpose.
It’s the high point of diligence and commitment.
It’s what differentiates men from men.
It’s the explanation of our response to adversity.
In the presence of adversities some grow wings others buy crutches.
A wise man would let the fire do its work on the iron.
He allows heat for as long as possible before he strikes.

So, perseverance comes first above talent, even above genius!

We wanted to be as good as it gets and be good enough for all to see. In our minds we flew jets, traveled all over the world, walked on the moon, stood in front of millions to talk, sing or preach, we were signing autographs, became the huge successful singer or the irreplaceable actor, great and convincing  preacher, we owned more than we probably would need for ten generations. We smiled why fans cheered, took a bow when others screamed their lungs out. Camera lights flashing, paparazzi struggling to get a piece of us. Strive to be better and much more good ...

PRESSURE BURST PIPE

In a bid to live a happy life especially that which we dream of, we most often than not put pressure on ourselves and by extension we put pressure on that one person who love us the most, if not those who care about us … partner, friend or family. It is good to have dreams and ambitions. It is also relatively extremely important we pursue them tenaciously but as we do lets always remember the CAUTION Button so that we wouldn’t have to hit the PANIC Button later on. Very Important and Most Crucial, If we forget anything DON’T FORGET THIS! PRESSURE BURST PIPE!
