PERSISTENCE

[THE ENGINE ROOM]

There is no solution in a lack lustre approach to situations.
Aggressiveness is required in getting results. When the word
'aggressiveness' is used, individuals might think about physical
frowardness. Yes, 'frowardness'. That will be utterly wrong.
Aggressiveness has to do first with mental disposition. Psychological
attitudes are also included. These come before any consideration of
physical aggressiveness. When aggressiveness is physical, it becomes
aggression. Persistence has tinges of aggressiveness in it. It is
related to a state of the mind. The psyche plays an extremely
important part in the way people do things. This relates to what one
might refer to as individual culture, a collection of which produces
community culture. If persistence is lacking in it, results will be
lacking also. Humanity lives in an age when individuals must be sure
of what they are doing. They must, therefore, do those things with
personal convinction. They must be persistent, consistent and
resilient in doing those things. Man lives in an age when results are
more than desired. There are slippages at every turn. This means that
things easily go bizzare or awry. Extra care is required in
everything. The intention of this writing is not to be perfectionist
in content, but to raise a higher level of awareness in line with the
saying, "aim at the sky you shoot above the trees" or "aim at the moon
and land among the stars". Mental and psychological aggressiveness
reveal a potency in an individual, which endears him or her to
unintentional observers. This is especially because persistence,
aggressiveness and focus go together. The question will then be, "What
does one do?" The answer is, "Identify exactly what need to be done.
Identify when, how and where to do it (or them). Also be sure to know
how best to do it (them) within the framework of the desired results
(objectives).
