Every problem has a solution; #Push

If gear 2 does not deliver the desired outcome, elevate your game. Every problem has a solution. That no one has solved it is simply a limitation of current knowledge! If you persevere, you could break the ribbon.

When it comes to problem solving, it’s important that you understand what is within your capacity too as you could be possibly risking despair and defeat.

Some problems are just not given to you to solve and in this case, perseverance can get you “killed”. This is why it’s important to know your definition and understand your classification so that you persevere sustainably, in a way that doesn’t risk your emotional and mental health.

Sometimes, quitting is just the right thing to do because you get to live to fight another day, and recognising when quitting is the right thing to do is a skill set of its own.

If you find yourself persevering in the wrong terrain, understand that quitting isn’t a weakness or failure. There’s no such thing as Failure, only Defeat. It’s over when you say it is and so long as you haven’t thrown in the towel, you’re still one hundred percent absolutely in the game.

Perseverance means knowing when (where, why and how) to keep saying YES and when (where, why and how) it’s appropriate to keep saying NO.

My Response: “Perseverance means knowing when (where, why and how) to keep saying YES and when (where, why and how) it’s appropriate to keep saying NO.” – that is the definition. If Ndubuisi suddenly wants to persevere to fly a plane, that would be stupidity. Perseverance works on things you can do and it means do not give up easily. It does not mean going to do things you are not trained, built, etc for.
