Let's reread the first two stanzas of the poem"Perseverance" to see the author's definition.
The word “perseverance” in Latin means, “one who sees through to the end,” “one who doesn’t yield.” In English, it describes how we maintain our activity in spite of difficulties. Tenacity, steadfastness,persistence, doggedness—these are all common synonyms. In Chinese, the character for perseverance is often the same as the one used for patience. |
