One of the values learnt in life - perserverence. Not giving up but moving on ahead is defined as a value. It ascertains that one does not give up his or her efforts so that fruitful success will be attained. That somehow sums up perserverence.
There is the Chinese story where the old woman filed a metal rod into a needle. Yes, the impossible is reached. Yet the time she put into that can be used to invent something more useful or do more meaningful things. The Chinese story has phased out.
Perseverence is good but without planning, it will go nowhere unless you have plenty of luck. For example, if you want to smash your way through a 3m concrete wall, it is better to plan to get more or better instruments than rather take a hammer up and challenge the wall. It is a lesson which I learnt through pain and lots of regret.
Stop a moment to consider this. Sometimes, we may find ourselves at great odds against the majority. Sometimes, we feel that it is unfair and nobody understands. However, perseverence to survive is not just enough.
Strategies need to be planned out to find out the root of the problem which you can tackle, at least something in your area of influence. Look within yourself, learn to be smart while you fight on. Some battles can only be fought once, so there is no repeated telecast, make the best out of it, instead of just going out to confront with only a stubborn dense mind.
