Perseverance, as per the MS Word online dictionary, means persistence, doggedness, determination, diligence and pushiness. Presumably, the word perseverance has roots in the Sanskrit word ‘Purusharth’, which means industriousness, patience, single-minded dedication in the pursuit of the goal and an approach that is in line with the truth. The power of perseverance is so strong that it inexorably rewards the efforts that are even misdirected. Perseverance denotes holistic efforts, complete with attention to detail, minute understanding on scientific lines, a logical approach, patience, hard work, faith and a never-say-die attitude. Success will undoubtedly come because there is no magic mantra for success except perseverance.
