9-1
Perseverance is not one long race; it is a series of short races, won, one after another. Many people think the "short races" or seemingly minor things do not count when it comes to perseverance, but in fact, this is what perseverance is all about. Your projects, your goals and your whole life are a series of short races, all linked to the direction you want to go. By neglecting the short races, you will never accumulate the "wins" you need to attain your goal.
