Item Description
Staying With It: Role Models of Perseverance provides role models of perseverance through profiles of thirty-five individuals who displayed perseverance at one phase of their lives or throughout their lifetime. The biographical sketches represent seven areas of endeavor including: painters / architects / composers; engineers / scientists; reformers / activists; inventors / entrepreneurs; soldiers / sailors / airmen; and thinkers / authors. Above average intelligence, by itself, does not insure success. Other qualities, particularly perseverance, are necessary to accomplish our goals in life. These individuals show us how they overcame many obstacles to achieve their ultimate success. Examples include Beethoven overcoming deafness to compose, King Robert I of Scotland enduring six defeats before winning his first victory, and Douglas Bader becoming a Royal Air Force Ace in World War II after losing both legs in an air crash. If readers put their daily challenges and problems into perspective alongside those faced by these individuals, their concerns pale in comparison. They can then turn challenges and problems into opportunities, and their lives will by richer for it. They can learn from these achievers.
