Trying hard enough

Enduring to the end

Never giving up hope

Going slow and steady

Keeping on getting up

Learning from failure

Not stopping or turning

Planting for the future

Rightly directed effort

The courage to continue

Being faint yet pursuing

Finshing what we started

Keeping at it long enough

Trying just one more time

Being actually in the arena

Staying with problems longer

Not giving up after a mistake

Throwing ourselves into trying

The aggregate of the tiny pushes

Ascending the ladder step by step

A universal core character strength

Either finding a way, or making one

Persistence in any thing undertaken

Never, never, never, never giving up

Doing every day what needs to be done

Spending ourselves in a worthy cause

Falling seven times, standing up eight

Getting a good idea and staying with it

Small activities, incessantly continued

A continual attention to any particular point

Putting our hand to the plough and looking forward

Looking at what we have left, not what we have lost

Trying and trying again if we don’t succeed at first

Not being afraid to appear less than perfectly polished

Not letting temporary setbacks become permanent excuses

Creating new plans to take the place of those which fail

Doing something, and working at it until it’s done right

Continued pursuit or prosecution of any business or enterprise begun

Pushing ourselves to continue one more day, one more week, one more year

The daily discipline of trying to do things better than we did yesterday

Prying the door open, or wedging our foot in the door and keeping it open

The hard work we do after we get tired of doing the hard work we already did
