Persistence Pays
“What counts most is holding on. The growth of a train of thought is not a direct forward flow. There is a succession of spurts separated by intervals of stagnation, frustration, & discouragement. If you hold on, there is bound to come a certain clarification. The unessential components drop off & a coherent, lucid whole begins to take shape.”
