We tend to have our greatest breakthroughs in times of crisis -- or just after a crisis has passed. It's hard to predict when the next one will be, even though in retrospect it may be easy to see.Aya Katzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07830585801297506770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2974406546323301344.post-83021700639399888432015-05-01T13:25:15.320-07:002015-05-01T13:25:15.320-07:00Congratulations, Aya - I love this approach with B...Congratulations, Aya - I love this approach with Bow.

But persistence can even include taking a necessary break from something and then coming back to it with renewed energy.

I think social media and technology can be great, but it has made some forget about the beauty and fortitude of persistence. Back in the day a small farmer had to work many years to achieve success, which might be mitigated by the forces of nature. Technology made some of this obsolete, so we often forget that there was a time persistence was needed for survival.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147781152448695481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2974406546323301344.post-9323927157837819772015-04-25T09:20:36.174-07:002015-04-25T09:20:36.174-07:00Thanks, Debbie.
