The
Importance of Perseverance
The virtue that I
chose is perseverance. The definition of virtue is a positive trait or quality
deemed to be morally good and is valued as a foundation of principle and good
moral being. I think it is important that everyone has perseverance. People who persevere will without a doubt be
successful in life. “Perseverance is the will to see things through until the
end in spite of fear, obstacles, discouragement, and opinion. With
perseverance, we can accomplish great things.” So many people give up if
something is difficult or just quit if they failed the first time. If people
persevered in all that they did, they would accomplish so much in their lives.
1. All acts of determination are virtuous.
2. All acts of perseverance are acts of determination.
3. Therefore, all acts of perseverance are virtuous.
Perseverance
is a virtue that will help one achieve ones goals. People who have perseverance
are successful in life because they are determined and motivated in what they
do. Perseverance helps people not be distracted from their end goal. They do
not give up until they have achieved what they have been working for. Many
people give up or feel threatened by what obstacles they have to face.
Perseverance is an important virtue to have,
it is key to be successful in all that you do.
Perseverance can help a person achieve their full potential. Commitment and patience are needed for a person to
have perseverance. Patience helps a person not give up and to keep trying even
if they have failed before. Commitment and stubbornness will let a person
finish what they planned to do by sticking with it and not giving up.
In
conclusion perseverance is an important virtue to have. People who persevere
will succeed in life whether they are on a sports team or trying to get a job
or just trying to learn something new. They will be able to reach their goals and
succeed in anything they work hard enough towards.
Perseverance is a great virtue to have. I agree that people who persevere will succeed in life. A personal connection with perseverance would be a strong supporting detail.

ReplyDeleteThis is very good, I agree that perseverance is an important virtue to have. Like Orlando said, a personal connection would add depth to the argument.
