perseverance
Significado: Persistence in doing something despite difficulty, opposition, or delay in achieving success.
Perseverance is a cornerstone virtue in British culture, closely related to the notion of 'keeping calm and carrying on.' It implies sustained effort over a long period rather than a single burst of energy. It is almost universally positive and appears in educational, motivational, sporting, and religious contexts. Common collocations include 'dogged perseverance,' 'patient perseverance,' 'rewarded for perseverance,' and 'an act of perseverance.'
