Don’t Quit! DO IT! - IMRAN®

 

“Perseverance Commands Success” - the timeless motto from Aitchison College, my alma mater in Lahore, Pakistan — in the late 1970s — is even truer today, almost half a century later.

 

Don’t Quit! Whatever the next needed action is, DO IT!

Antirrhinum majus pumilum - Dwarf Snapdragon

 

I adore snapdragons because they still stay around after the geese have gone

Conditions weren't good, a jumpy sky and tiny Mars at an angle where any heat from a neighbour's roof would also distort the image, but I was determined to 'persevere' and capture this image on the night that the Perseverance rover landed successfully on Mars.

This bird was one of about 50 trying to get the bread I was feeding them on the beach. It was his/her perseverance that won the day. While hovering above my head for about 8 full minutes, this one managed to get the most from me

My first time using Gimp, made with a mouse and a lot of perseverance.

It's probably a shadow toa or something. LOVE IT PLEZ

“Never give up. It's like breathing—once you quit, your flame dies letting total darkness extinguish every last gasp of hope. You can't do that. You must continue taking in even the shallowest of breaths, continue putting forth even the smallest of efforts to sustain your dreams. Don't ever, ever, ever give up.” ~ Richelle E. Goodrich, Smile Anyway: Quotes, Verse, & Grumblings for Every Day of the Year

  

I spent five days in Cape Town last week (2014) and it rained every day on and off (more on than off). I had limited spare time but carried my faithful Canon 6D and tripod in the boot every day. On Thursday afternoon (day 4) after work but before sunset it was a choice between grabbing a quick 45 min shoot in between the rain & then driving home 2 hours in the dark / spitting rain / through mountain passes, or driving straight home in the light. I had waited for 4 days for this opportunity so chose the former. It wasn't the most spectacular sunset but the location evoked a sense of deep gratitude in me. This photo is the third of that shoot and I am really happy that I stayed (y).

  

"The Kleinmond Lagoon in the Cape Overberg (South Africa) is a stunning beach which also has a small lagoon that is fed by the Palmiet River before heading into the ocean. The small lagoon is ideal for little ones to paddle around in and cool off from the summer sun. Other activities on the lagoon is boating and fishing. Rent out a boat for the day and spend some time out on the water, you might even catch something for dinner" ~ SA Venues

Nelson from South Africa used to import shoes till jealous neighbors burned down his shop. He now came for a better life to New Zealand but the struggle continues, at the moment he sleeps in his car after having to leave his house. Welcoming, eager to learn and sincere.

After several trips out at too-early-o-clock, only to find the skies grey and uninteresting, I was sorely tempted to stay in bed this morning. In the end, I decided to drag myself out and was rewarded by the god of photographers with a beautiful sky. Oh yes, and the obligatory wet feet...

The Skeen School, once educating children around the local area, continues to stand tall and proud. Within the confinements of academia, such academics once taught were arithmetic, reading and writing. Now [slowly] withering away at the edge of a wheat field, instead of providing adolescent moments to the youth, the former one-room school house serves its purpose of storing farming equipment.

⦁ He was born with a humble heart, understanding from an early age that nothing in life would come easily. Every milestone he has reached has been earned through hard work, perseverance, and countless sacrifices. Behind every accomplishment are long days, sleepless nights, and moments when giving up seemed easier than moving forward. Yet, he has always chosen determination over excuses.

 

⦁ Whenever he discovers a passion, he gives it everything he has. He believes that if something is worth pursuing, it deserves his full commitment, discipline, and dedication. Whether in his personal life, his career, or the dreams he continues to chase, he approaches every opportunity with the mindset of giving 100 percent. Success, to him, is not measured by recognition or rewards, but by knowing he gave his very best.

 

⦁ His humility has remained one of his greatest strengths. No matter how far he goes or how much he accomplishes, he never forgets where he came from or the lessons that shaped him. He treats others with kindness and respect because he understands the value of hard work and the struggles many people face. His story is a reflection of resilience, character, and the belief that with faith, passion, and relentless effort, every dream can become a milestone worth celebrating.

"Sole Purpose - Jogging Shoeprints" by Patti Deters. A young woman athlete is seen jogging past a concrete wall covered with large, varied shoe sole imprints, creating a unique and eye-catching scene. The runner's silhouette is captured in motion, perhaps her sole purpose is to finish this daily run in record time. The overall composition suggests a sense of determination and perseverance, capturing the essence of athleticism and urban energy. The concrete canvas whispers stories of countless footsteps, each sole a silent testament to a journey taken. The lone runner becomes a metaphor for our own individual paths, with her stride echoing the rhythm of progress, and her determination a beacon against the faded imprints of the past. Thank you for viewing this image. Please enjoy more landscapes and other artworks at patti-deters.pixels.com/featured/sole-purpose-jogging-sho....

First assignment for Kim Klassen's pse class. I used one of her textures too, which I finally figured out how to do (sort of), along with the down-loaded font. This poor little rose was still trying to bloom when we got hit with snow in December, very unusual for southeastern Virginia.

You have to admire the trees and plants that grow in adverse conditions. It's amazing what little they can subsist upon. I spotted this tree in Arches National Park last year, and was suitably impressed by its perseverance.

persevere (v.)

"to persist in what one has undertaken, to pursue steadily a design or course," late 14c., perseveren, from Old French perseverer "continue, persevere, endure" and directly from Latin perseverare "continue steadfastly, persist," from persevereus "very strict, earnest," from per "very" (see per) + severus "serious, grave, strict, austere," which is probably from PIE root *segh- "to have, hold," on the notion of "steadfastness, toughness." Related: Persevered; persevering.

 

When you live in Northern Lower Michigan you get used to this sort of thing, Old Man Winter coming back in April is like a jealous girlfriend trashing your apartment just for spite. We will, however, like the Dude, abide.

I haven't been to High Beeches since that soggy morning last month when I watched the heavy horses harrowing the wild flower meadow. The autumn colours are just beginning to come through and in a couple of weeks the garden will look spectacular. Flowers are in much shorter supply at this time of year, so bees are having to work harder to find pollen. It was lovely to see the Scabious at High Beeches, which was playing host to numerous bees and hoverflies.
