I write a regular monthly column for The Cornsihman - a local newspaper in this part of the world, and I wrote a piece on new year's resolutions and persistence for them. I send my copy to a lady called Jackie. She sent me this comment back today:
"Apparently a baby falls at least 1500 whilst learning to walk, as adults we give up too easily."
Now that's an interesting thought - think of all those things that we would have never learnt as babies if we'd given up as easily as we do now!
