Benefits Of Persevering

Persevering can help people a lot when they lack the motivation to do something or don’t think they are capable of it. It can tough and demanding at times, but most people find out that they succeed when they persevere. Most famous people don’t get famous easily, they had to go under a tremendous amount of hard work and kept on going. Other people saved their own life just because they persevered. In most cases, people will need to persevere to succeed and gain other benefits.
Succeeding is the best you will get from persevering, but it doesn’t come that easily! In this story Rogue Wave by Theodore Taylor, Scoot and Sully were on the Sea Dog on the Pacific Ocean near Baja California. Suddenly, they get hit by a rogue wave and Scoot happens
As we talked about Rogue wave, Scoot succeeded her escape, but also, when she persevered, she benefited in many other ways too. One way was, as she was working her way to escape, she remembered that she had once seen a toolbox under the companionway steps which saved her a lot of time because time was burning and she was too weak to open the highlight. It says on page 13, line 345-347, “Scoot had seen a toolbox under the companionway steps and went back to try to find it. She guessed there’d be wrenches inside it, unless they’d spilled out.” As we also talked about What It Takes to be Great, Bobby Fischer succeeded by becoming a chess grandmaster with 9 years of intensive work. In that essay, Tiger Woods started golfing at an extremely early age, 18 months and that made him persevere as he was growing up. He benefited from it because it encouraged him to practice intensively which made him practice for 15 years, becoming the youngest-ever winner of the U.S Amateur Championship at the age of 18. It says on page 9, paragraph 18, “Tiger Woods is a perfect example of what the research shows. Because his father introduced him to golf at an extremely early age—18months—and encouraged him to practice intensively.” It’s crazy how Tiger was introduced to golf at the age of 18 months and how he benefited from it.
As you read how these people took advantage of perseverance, you can infer that if you persevere enough, you are likely to succeed and gain other benefits along with it too. Perseverance can be easy to obtain at first, but hard to manage later on and that’s fine, as long as you don’t give up. One day, you will be able to succeed many benefits by persevering as some of these people
