7 practical tips of persistence

Tip #1: Start small

One thing at a time, ‘Φασούλι φασούλι γεμίζει το σάκούλι’.  Affect change where you can, immediately, progressively, and iteratively – this stuff is easy if all you need to worry about is making a change to one small thing at a time. Just one.

Tip #2: Look inwards first

The age-old adage that the grass is greener on the other side is a fallacy. The grass is greener where you spend the time to nurture it.

Tip #3: Do what you can to get what you want

There is no one else who will do for you what you can do for yourself.

Tip #4: Always be yourself

Be honest and true to who you are. There is nothing more real than being you, human being and all.

Tip #5: Prepare

Prepare, prepare and then prepare some more.

Tip #6: Where others seek shelter, be brave and see opportunity

It is in fact at the precise moment when most have moved on, when people have given up, when the popular discourse says one thing, is when you consider the obvious and blatant reality that most people are wrong and that opportunity abounds.
