8 Cultivating Persistence: A Disposition for Success

Published:February 2025

Abstract
Persisting is a disposition that is essential for success in life. Human beings are born with the capacity to persist; however, some environments deter its development. Modeling by respected adults, discussing its meanings and importance, recognizing and reinforcing the behavior when it is performed, teaching the skills and strategies of persisting directly, and creating nurturing environments at school and at home can instill this trait in the mind and behaviors of young people as they grow into efficacious adults. As a result of continuous attention to the development of this behavior, they build a habit that builds hope, confidence and the capacity to think through and meet the challenges of an ever-changing environment.
