3 How do you understand the quote
Perseverance means continued effort and determination to achieve something despite difficulties. The quote means only through dogged perseverance rather than strength can one achieve success.
Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance.
--Samuel Johnson
伟大的作品不是靠力量，而是靠坚持来完成的。
锲而不舍，金石可镂。
Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance. — Samuel Johnson
If one wants to succeed, one must have the will to continue and face all odds/ adversities.
the quality of continuing to try to achieve a particular aim despite difficulties
A synonym for “perseverance” is “endurance”, the name of Shackleton’s ship.
Shackleton, born in 1874 in Ireland, before captaining the ship Endurance, accompanied Robert Scott on the Discovery expedition and also led the Nimrod expedition, both of which went to Antarctica.
Shackleton is celebrated as one of the world’s greatest explorers, and the Endurance expedition story is said by many to be the greatest rescue mission of all time.
This is Ernest Shackleton’s ship, Endurance, trapped in ice during his Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. Built in 1912, she was one of the strongest wooden ships ever built at
the time and was designed for polar conditions. She was over 40 metres long and weighed over 300 tonnes. However, in 1915 the ship had to be abandoned after it was crushed by the ice.

Shackleton showed kindness when he allowed Blackborow to stay on the ship and gave him a job. He showed calmness when he asked the crew to collect essentials. He showed he was not selfish when he left his gold behind, but showed he was thinking of others’ feelings by allowing Hussey to keep his banjo. He showed great bravery by setting off to find help for the rest of the crew.
Blackborow was enthusiastic at first, making sure he got on the expedition. Although he felt low later, he tried to think about better things, showing again his positive character.
Imagine you were Perce Blackborow. Write a message in a bottle to explain your situation and ask for help.
