"Heroes don't quit, so the only true failure is the failure to get up."- Peter Gruber
Recently I read a book called Tell to Win. In it the author told a story of how when he was young he watched a handicapped child and father building a special bike. The kid then over time proceeded to try to ride the bike.
He fell many times. The author thought that the father was cruel. However, the kid kept getting up, refusing help, and eventually riding.
With each fall he learned what not to do. As parents we want to prevent this behavior and provide our children with the solution. This allows them not to learn how to learn or to develop their persistence.
Today's question is:
"How large is your persistence muscle?
