The Cambridge Dictionary defines perseverance as the continued effort to do or achieve something, even when it’s difficult or takes a long time.

British writer and lay theologian C.S. Lewis said, “It would seem that our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”

In 1897, H.G. Wells wrote the novel The Invisible Man—the story of how an intriguing possibility became an unexpected, rude, and cursed reality: invisibility. The main character, Mr. Griffen, discovers the disadvantages of invisibility when he first ventures out in public, invisible.
