This I Believe

             Perfection in my reality doesn't exist and I'm sure that it could be debatable based on a different approach. Perfection obviously exists since I am talking about it so what else can it be. It's kind of weird how logic works sometimes, but lets get back to the topic. I doubt humans in general are perfect,however, people can definitely aim to be perfect. In how I see myself and others there is a goal to be reached even if it's oblivious and at the end of the road a method had been used to accomplish this goal. The task can be as simple as learning an alphabet or as hard as learning an entire language. What do I believe is the stimulus to these achievements? In both physical and mental capabilities, I believe that perseverance is a key attribute to self accomplishment.

             In reality what is a world without perseverance. It's like a world without an earth. Waking up at 6 in the morning seems to me like perseverance or else I'd love to get another few hours of sleep. Last year in my first AP class I got a real taste in what work really feels like. The class was in European and Global History and my teacher really loved to give assignments. It was a pack load of independent readings, term defining, and academic writings. I'm sure my peers agree that the class took away from there lives cause I know it took a decent chunk out of mine. The class was difficult, yet also not at the same time because the teacher was really good at lecturing and would definitely give out a helping if you would ask. On the other hand the work load and studying was just boring me to death. I really sucked at time management and I still am so I would procrastinate a ton load. I think what really got me from falling asleep at 1 AM was perseverance. I'm sure the teacher intended to wake up his classes and show them that the world isn't so easy. That class was probably like level 1 if we were in a game compared for whats upcoming. Then again games have chances and life isn't as sincere.

            I'm sure it sucks to suck, but that's the truth. I mean I suck at a lot of things, but not so in some. I have my strengths and weaknesses because I either work towards them or neglect them. There’s no shortcut to perfection even if there seems to be. Mastery comes from practice, patience, and most importantly perseverance. Well unless you're born gifted, which is totally a different story that I'm not getting into. This determination of a force is what drives civilization to survive. Most people don't just magically become a mentally prepared doctor or even become physically demanding as a gymnast. Work has to be done and perseverance drives this into action. This I believe.
