“Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.”
Are you inspired by entrepreneurs and changemakers in today’s world who come from humble beginnings and through hard work, persistence, and sacrifice reach their dreams? Host Diya Hituvalli admires individuals who persevere against all odds and shares stories of a few remarkable people. Our guest is Jean Kanokogi,PHD who published her mother’s memoir post-humously about Rusty Kanaokogi, the Mother of Women’s Judo. The book, Get Up & Fight,follows the fifty-year uphill battle that Rusty waged on behalf of women’s rights on and off the mat, a journey that ultimately led her to the Olympics. Jean discusses her childhood and what it was like growing up and how her mon taught her to fight for what’s right. Jean emphasizes the importance of tenacity, dedication, diligence, and sacrifice to achieve any level of expertise. In the final segment, Diya reads The Gift of Persistence from Cynthia Brian’s book, Be the Star You Are!® for Teens. The overall message is to never quit and to know that
whatever you want in life you can have if you are willing to work long and hard to achieve it.
“Persistence prevails when all else fails. Never ever give up on your dreams!”
