What can we learn from others perserverance?
We can see that others had it much worse adversity than us. They needed perseverance when the times were tough. But they did not yield to adversity. They did not throw aside their convictions of believing they could persevere. They had ambition to get their goals done. They never let the worst bring them down. We should not let petty bring us down.
