Persistence is very important in many areas of life. Persistence is necessary to follow through with one's dreams. It is important to follow one's dreams, because people gain self-esteem that way. If one does not follow their dreams, they will be very upset with themselves and life in general. They will feel empty inside and will not want to do anything at all, because they will feel like they will fail at everything they do. If they fail the first time they follow their dreams, and do not use persistence, they will not want to do anything with their life, because they will feel like they will fail at everything they try. Persistence is very important any time one fails. If one fails at something and does not try again, they will have given up many opportunities. They will not be able to persist at things until they have the chance to get them right, and they will have given up hope. If they give up hope of doing little things right, they will eventually give up on themselves. They will not want to do anything, because they will not think that they will be able to do it, and they will be too afraid of failure to even try anything. Persistence is important in all areas of life, and without persistence, many people will not be able to do anything. Not using persistence is not always this drastic. It can be smaller than this, and may not make people this afraid. Sometimes people only fail at using persistence in one area of their life, and that just makes that area weak. They may just be bad at something such as cooking or reading or writing, and if they do not use persistence, they will not be able to ever grow in that area. They may just be afraid to try that certain thing, and not be able to do that thing at all. Persistence is a very important quality that everyone needs to have.
