6V Persistence: Key To Our Lives


If you don't realize it, but I'll just hand it to you, that persistence is present in our lives daily. Does not matter if we have short-term goals, long-term goals or challenges that we have to overcome, but it is there. Defining persistence is easy. I am sure you have heard this word before, but let's define it for others that may be clueless right now. Persistence is the ability that allows someone to continue doing something or try to do something even though it may be difficult or opposed by other people. 

Persistence is something that is very important when it comes to being presented with challenges. For example, if you play a sport, lets say like track, and have had trouble trying to get better so you can beat the record for best sprinter. You have to have that persistence to keep on trying even if it the road gets rough. You may injure yourself along the way, but never seem to give up until you achieve what you want to achieve. You just have to set your mind to it and make happen even if you fail multiple times.Giving up is not the answer to persistence! 


Persistence can also relate to your education. If you want to succeed then you will keep striving towards your goals. By learning something new everyday or new words, puts you on the right path towards furthering your education. I am persistence about my education and have learned a few new words this week. One of them is semantic ambiguity meaning that a word has more than one meaning. And factual dispute means having a disagreement over relevant facts and not the actual meaning of a word. These two words are related to each other because they are ways to be imprecise. Both of these words are defined in vague ways or are just not acknowledged in their actual meaning. Learning new words every week helps me understand the things we are learning in class and be able to aid other of my peers if they need help!

Hope you to can learn from these words and apply them to your education or maybe even your daily lives!
