In <What Is Life?>, written by Lynn Margulis and Dorion Sagan, there is an expression, “Independence is a political term, not a scientific term.” Independence is the state in which a person can live alone without help or influence from others, using their own strength and ability. The condition of being physically separated from the community is called “isolation.” Independence and isolation are different. Isolation should not be mistaken for independence. To exclude influence and secure autonomy is independence, while deliberately cutting off relationships is isolation. Independence is based on achievement; isolation is based on hurt. To grow, you must be independent, not isolated. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
If a baseball player is given chances to keep batting without a count-out, then a super batter will probably come out. If the batter doesn't quit on the batting, he is likely to be a super batter. By the way, life is not three strikes out. If you're okay with that, you can keep bat at bat. "Continuity" is critical when challenging something. The only problem is that you cannot know the moment of success. So to maintain persistence, how much I desire and love it is more important. How well you do is the next question. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
