Persevering Is Important

A buddy of mine
is a brilliant writer.
He has so much skill.

But he’s a quitter.
When a story gets challenging
to write
(and they ALWAYS get challenging
to write),
he quits and starts a new one.

He has never finished a story.

I have a fraction of his talent
but I push through
the challenging bits
and finish stories.
That’s why I have a solid
writing business today.

“There are a lot of kids
who can skate really fast
and shoot the puck,
but I think
dealing with the tough times
and persevering
is very important.

I call adversity life’s Buckley’s:
It doesn’t taste good,
but it’s good for you.
A couple of tablespoons of it
each day
is not a bad thing.”

It doesn’t matter
how much talent you have
if you quit
as soon as it becomes tough.
Keep going.
