Perseverance Begets Perseverance


   Nine years is a long time.
   That's the time a photographer spent documenting wildlife in my town. He presented a slideshow at our library. I'd never met him before this event.
   His photos were excellent. So was his work ethic. Working in his spare time, he'd rise at the crack of dawn. There were no guarantees. Many of his outings must have fallen short. After all those years, he published a calendar featuring eye catching photos of animals.
   How many talented people give up on their dreams? Lots of them must. They're accustomed to instant gratification. When they don't obtain early success, they give up.
   That photographer never gave up. Talent and persistence led to his success.
   Perseverance by one person can inspire perseverance in others.
