Persistence, the key to success

Persistence, the key to success

A president, I think it was Woodrow Wilson once said that persistence is the key to success. I am therefore successful. I just spent two plus hours getting my computer back online and corrected. Still working on it.

Everything went black a couple of hours ago. And I had this vertical white line going back and forth like a scanner. Don't know why. Tried tons of stuff to get it corrected and finally it is back to somewhat as I would like it to be.

I called Don, my son-in-law and he got rid of the white line. I did not want to call him again. I figured I will work this out if it takes me all night.

Persistence means you never give up. You do have to take some breaks for coffee and Dr. Peppers and Burger King whoppers but then you have to get right back at your challenge and work at it til you finally get it right.... Success. Wow. I did it. I am successful and also very tired.

Time to get my harmonica out and play "Hey Johnny look, I got beans in my ears." Not too tired for that.
