Choose one skill or task to persist with every day, even when the results are not immediate, believing that perseverance will ultimately lead to success.

Mark small steps of progress towards a challenging goal, even if they include failures along the way, to see tangibly that repeated attempts bring you closer to success.

Whenever you feel despair or the urge to give up, take a moment to say to yourself: 'If I try enough, I will succeed in the end,' just as Rani would remind you.
