If you hang on…

A little bit of advice from a Japanese proverb that happened to really strike me:

「継続は力なり」

keizoku wa chikara nari

Literally: Continuance is also strength

So whenever you get knocked down, to be able to prove your resilience and get up is a strength of its own. If you just hold on, sudden power will emerge by itself. Perseverance is a kind of strength of its own.

七転び八起き! It’s better to stumble seven times and then recover by the eighth than to suffer defeat!

    What does not destroy me, makes me stronger

    :mrgreen:
    It is said that Nietzsche was rather hard-headed (or won’t surrender easily?). :P

    Well, being somewhat hard-headed myself, I’m afraid I agree completely with Nietzsche on that. :P
