Persistence

I just read an article about this title. Surprised me to learn there are 3 types of persistence. As it says, "BLIND PERSISTENCE; RANDOM PERSISTENCE; PLANNED PERSISTENCE". Now these terms really come into my head and make that "bang" loud sound.

It means, "Being persistent isn't enough. You've got to know which type of it that you're applying." Blindly persisting sound stupid; randomly persist seemed lame; planned persistence looked powerful" (who want to be stupid or lame?).

Now, does having an organized mind help in being POWERFULLY PLANNED? I think mastering the will is about it. Plans are made to help us achieve goals not making us stiff or inflexible, isn't it? Otherwise it is rather known as (the very popular) STUBBORN.

Can find the thin line between PERSISTENCE and STUBBORN?

(1) Decide on your goal and stick with it.

(2) Understand that to achieve your goal you need to use 'planned persistence' which involves carefully planned experimentation.

(3) Create a written plan of action of things to try.

(4) Try different techniques and monitor your results carefully.

(5) Discard what doesn't work and move on to your next experiment until you find the combination that unlocks your dreams.
