Well, I have done this numerous times for audiences around the world, and you would be amazed at the range of answers I have gotten. The three most common ones were: effort, resilience, and perseverance. What exactly is perseverance? “Continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition.” I like to keep things simple, so mine is “never quitting no matter what.” Now I’m not sure which definition you like or are the most comfortable with, so why not come up with your own? As a sideline, if you had to rank the three previous traits, what order would you put them in when it comes to importance?
