What is the difference between “persistence” and “perseverance”? 🤔 Does it have anything to do with the notion that one can perseverate but not persisterate?😲 I think Hunter Biden has demonstrated an enormous capacity to perverseverate, to coin a neologism. 😁
Money: “t. Effort is no guarantee of success (you can devote endless energy to a fruitless pursuit, and reap no rewards), but it is an essential ingredient. Talent is another, but talent absent effort, in all but the rarest cases, yields disappointing results.
Today's culture teaches that the wealthy don't deserve their wealth and therefore it's OK to take it and give it to others. It teaches that lack of success is the result of someone holding you back, or that ‘systemic biases’ keep you down, or that your gender, skin color, and other identity markers determine your life's outcome. It rejects merit and credits success to outside agency. It excuses mediocrity and promotes laziness.”
Well said Peter
