persistence


“In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life —
It goes on.”

~ Robert Frost (1874-1963) poet

Frost should know about life’s persistence. Despite what happens, it does go on. After dropping out of both Harvard and then Dartmouth, he returned home to teach and work various jobs including delivering newspapers and factory labor, all the while knowing that his true calling was poetry. Despite early setbacks, Frost went on to write verse and win the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry four times: 1924, 1931, 1937 and 1943.

Thanks Karen!
