About this quote
Persistence often works by staying present long enough for resistance to change.
When to use it
- During a difficult week, make one respectful follow-up on a request or application that still matters.
- Use the same principle on one difficult subject: make one respectful follow-up on a request or application that still matters, then note what changed.
- Try it with a classmate or study group: make one respectful follow-up on a request or application that still matters, and compare the result at the end of the week.
