Hi I read your great and detailed post on perseverance. I agree and I have similar traits of insane levels of stubbornness when facing a task. I rarely quit something I want to complete. I’m a retired MD and I can’t even quantify the amount of adversity and stress I’ve had to face in my life. That’s for another time. You said you were born deaf. Take my hat off to anybody dealing with loss of hearing or sight or any other of all we take for granted. Kudos to you.
I worked 36 years solo Internist then got hired by NEMG branch of Yale then worked 5 years as an inpatient Hospitalist, and ended up as the Yale Employee covid call center lead physician. Then when covid crisis ended, I let it go. So about 43 years total. At sometimes 100 hrs a week, it’s like 3 careers😳
This was interesting - even if I was not totally won over to your POV. Success is a gossamer thin thing and luck plays a part in achieving it... so don't think of it as the goal. Enjoy the process of doing and find your joy in that. Make your goal simply making/creating and doing the best that you can and getting better and better and better at what you do. That's not what I preaxch but something that I hold to in myself.

Thank you, Charles.
In what practice did you employ?

Thanks for this post! I badly needed this.
If you badly needed this, what was the cause?
Does this really work that way?
What do you mean?
Could you be more specific, please?
Does it really work out if i persevere? Based from experience, it does not ALWAYS workout. Luck could also be a factor no?
You don't wait for luck, Wax.
You create YOUR OWN luck.
