This week I would like to talk about perseverance. I read an article about a Chinese reporter who ran away from her own marriage in order to interview the victims of an earthquake. Doing your job in a wedding dress with a microphone in one hand and a bridal bouquet in the other hand, that’s what I like to call perseverance. But how does it come that you don’t see acts like this anymore? In my opinion, one of the most important perseverance killers is the snooze button. Whenever you have to get up, your snooze button always gives you the bad advice to sleep another fifteen minutes. During holidays, I always set my alarm at 10 o’clock but it’s always already past noon when I get out of bed after a two hour battle with my clock’s snooze button. But not only the snooze button is to blame. It’s also Facebook’s fault. For example: you’re working for school (writing a blog) and you’re on the internet looking for some inspiration. There will always be a little voice inside your head that will say “check Facebook, there might be some good inspiration over there”. And that’s how a 200 words blog takes about 2 hours of your time.
