What is the persistence?

There’s a boy born in a farm village. He was poor so he couldn’t go to middle school. He cut down trees and sold them for earning money. Then he heard that there was a free school. This school was away 3 hours from his home. But he went to this school on his foot and asked its principal his entrance. After then he woke up 4 AM and went that school for 3 years by walking. In the end he became a teacher but he did not stop trying. He was interested in a medical science so he attended lectures in a medical college. Professors ignored and insulted him because he was not a medical school student. But he endured and never gave up. Even though he couldn’t receive a diploma of graduation, he listened lectures for 10 years. And he applied professor employment of Yonsei University. He didn’t have any degree but he became a medical college professor of Yonsei by his ability. He is Dr. Hwang Su-kwan.

Benjamin Franklin said ‘energy and persistence conquer all things’ and Napoleon said ‘victory belongs to the most persevering.’ People all have different environments and abilities but the most important thing that overcomes all things is persistence and effort. Life is bitter and I suffer from endless but also I know these difficulties make me be strong. So real persistence is winning and jumping myself. The patience is bitter but its fruit is sweet, as I know.
