Perseverance is not a long race: Perseverance and hard work go together - In most places, these two are used interchangeably. However, perseverance is beneficial when we take feedback and continuously improve. It is a long race but with multiple stops in between. In each of these stops, we rest, recover and grow thus gaining strength to complete the journey. The most important thing is to ensure that we continue through the journey and make it as fulfilling as possible. Hence, the quote - perseverance is not a long race, but multiple short races. And that's also the fun part, isn't it? Without these multiple small stops, we will not know if we are going in the right direction.
