Persistence

Soft Skills and Communication

Persistence is the personal quality of continuing to pursue a goal or task despite obstacles, setbacks, or slow progress. It is prized in careers requiring long-term effort, such as entrepreneurship, research, sales, and creative work, where success often depends on sustained effort rather than immediate results. Employers and mentors often cite it as a key predictor of long-term achievement alongside talent and opportunity.
