Daily motivation – Inspirational Story about the Power of Perseverance

Daily Motivation - November 16, 2008

Perseverance is an attitude to keep going and doing whatever it takes to achieve success in spite of obstacles, challenges or barriers. Only those who persevere will make the success theirs. They never give up, they will stand up one more time when falling, they will never let failure makes them down and they will keep up the proper action until they make it.

This is one of inspirational story to open your eyes about how perseverance makes everything realizable. Maybe you do not know well about maritime geography in Canada, but it doesn’t matter.

There is an island called Prince Edward Island and there is a province named province of New Brunswick. In the past, the transportation link between both of them was by ship or ferry. The project of linking these two places by building a bridge was only a dream.

There were many obstacles had to be overcome. They had to solve the tremendous pressure from ice along its pylons when winter came and spring thaw.

Eventually, however, the dreamed project was successfully accomplished. It began in 1993 and the bridge has approximately 14 miles in length. The Confederation Bridge was then officially opened in 1997 and became the longest bridge on the surface of ice-covered water in the world.

Only perseverance determined the success of the project over a period of four years. The project would perhaps never be finished if the team involved did not persevere to overcome the greatest challenges they encountered. The reward of perseverance is the bridge we can see today.

What about you? Ask yourself and answer honestly if you have this attitude or not. As you know, the journey to success is not always that easy. Don’t hope it will be easy. There will be large stones, sharp gravels and even deep holes that will make you think about thousands of excuses to quit almost instantly. If you persevere and being wholeheartedly, you will surely be in the end of your way to achieve anything you desire.

Those who persevere will take the challenge and turn it into great success and those who don't will detour on the pathway of success.
