About this ebook
This book describes Perseverance (Persistence), Diagnosis and Treatment and Related Diseases
Perseverance is the name of the Mars rover that has just reached the surface of Mars.
It is called Perseverance because scientists at NASA believe that perseverance helped them not to give up.
"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up.
The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time."
- Thomas A. Edison
“If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build them up with worn-out tools
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!”
―Rudyard Kipling
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
Here, we learn to congratulate ourselves on finding ways that don't work.
Why? Because with each failed attempt, we are closer to discovering what will work.
The more failures, the better - ultimately leading to a climax of success.
Don't beat yourself up over not getting a job, promotion or business opportunity.
Instead, know that it is a necessary step on the road to finding the right destination.
Edison, a man before his time, knew that busyness for the sake of busyness is pointless.
It's about results.
And you'll get those from proper planning.
You won't get them from mindless busyness.
Persistence is not about being busy.
It's about following a well-thought-out step-by-step plan.
The word Perseverance means to continue to do steadfastly or try to achieve something despite difficulty, failure or discouragement.
Its use depicts a personality trait of spirit, and firmness of mind dating back to the early 1800s
Perseverance is a personality trait that pushes a person to overcome difficulties.
Perseverance (Persistence) is a term that is said to call for both excitement and declaration in service of a long-term goal.
Perseverance is a lengthy run, not a sprint, as they say.
In other words, persistent people put in sustained effort over time to attain a high level of success in their chosen area.
Everybody likes to hear about the overnight sensation that made it big with that one lucky chance.
That is luck, not perseverance.
Perseverance is the knowledge that achievement comes from running a lengthy run, not a sprint.

Introduction
I have been writing medical articles for my blog: http://kennethkee.blogspot.com (A Simple Guide to Medical Disorder) for the benefit of my patients since 2007.
My purpose in writing these simple guides was for the health education of my patients.
Health Education was also my dissertation for my Ph.D (Healthcare Administration).
I then wrote an autobiography account of my journey as a medical student to family doctor on my other blog: http://afamilydoctorstale.blogspot.com.
This autobiography account A Family Doctor’s Tale
was combined with my early A Simple Guide to Medical Disorders
into a new Wordpress Blog A Family Doctor’s Tale
on http://kenkee481.wordpress.com.
From which many free articles from the blog was taken and put together into 800 eBooks.
Some people have complained that the simple guides are too simple.
For their information they are made simple in order to educate the patients.
The later books go into more details of medical disorders.
The first chapter is always from my earlier blogs which unfortunately tends to have typos and spelling mistakes.
Since 2013, I have tried to improve my spelling and writing.
As I tried to bring the patient the latest information about a disorder or illness by reading the latest journals both online and offline, I find that I am learning more and improving on my own medical knowledge in diagnosis and treatment for my patients.
My diagnosis and treatment capability has improved tremendously from my continued education.
Just by writing all these simple guides I find that I have learned a lot from your reviews (good or bad), criticism and advice.
I am sorry for the repetitions in these simple guides as the second chapters onwards have new information as compared to my first chapter taken from my blog.
I also find repetition definitely help me and maybe some readers to remember the facts in the books more easily.
I apologize if these repetitions are irritating to some readers.

Perseverance (Persistence)
"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up.
The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time."
- Thomas A. Edison
"If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build them up with worn-out tools
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!"
―Rudyard Kipling
1. I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Don't beat yourself up over not getting a job, promotion or business opportunity.

2. Unfortunately, there seems to be far more opportunity out there than ability.
We should remember that good fortune often happens when opportunity meets
