THOUGHT FOR THE DAY- MAY 4, 2007

PERSISTENCE IS A VIRTUE

I used to tell myself that although I might not be the smartest Lawyer in the world at least I was one of the most persistent.
Persistence of a meritorious goal is a worthy endeavour. If your goal is something less than meritorious you may be spending a great deal of your time and effort in pursuit of a fool's mission.
Take time to take stock of where you are and where you are going in life. Do not hesitate to take a careful, honest and through examination of your efforts in life. If you are satisfied that your goals are worthy and attainable then stay the course. If, however, you find that your goals are not worthy or are completely unobtainable then, by all means, set another course.
Don't give up a worthy goal because it is hard. Anyone can obtain an easy goal. The pursuit of a difficult but worthy goal is the essence of persistence.
Don't strive to reach an impossible goal. Be reasonable. I would like to become an astronaut but at 61 years of age it is impossible.
