Just keep swimming, just keep swimming...


Sometimes you might feel like you're never going to achieve that goal. But you should keep this in mind: Robert Pirsig, the author of the best-selling Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, was rejected 121 times before his book was finally accepted. And the editor who finally took on his manuscript, "warned Pirsig that he was publishing it because of its impact on him, not for any financial gain. He told Pirsig that he would likely never earn out his $3,000 advance."


Perseverance, dear Friends. Perseverance.
