The Power of Persistence
There is power in persistence. It may be one of the central deciding factors between those that are successful and those who are not. Day in and day out those who are persistent continue to work on their goals.
It doesn't mean doing the same thing over and over unless those things work. It does mean putting in the time to find a way for things to work. It is the consistent effort until your hopes and dreams are realized.
Lets say you own a business and you are not making money. It doesn't mean throwing your hands in the air and giving up. It does mean you find a new way of doing things and make it work.
There is no doubt it will be difficult. Sometimes you may win and at other times you will lose.
However, over time you will slowly gain ground and pick up speed as you move forward.
Not everything will work for everyone. Yet you can make it work if you see the roadblocks and then find a way around them. That process of working around road blocks is what makes one business more successful than another.
As you move through one road block to another your business sells more and does more. It becomes more efficient and functions better. Short term difficulty is a blessing in the innovation process.
The same idea of persistence also applies to just about anything else in life including education, career, relationships and life. It is consistent effort and rethinking your strategies that eventually leads to success.

Political Expression or Acts of Civil Disobedience
Is this political persuasion or civil disobedience?
I would bet that it is a touch of both. There is a definite political argument here but it does violate some laws as they relate to damaging public property. While I can applaud the political expression, I cannot agree with it costing the tax payers money. It will take a few dollars to strip and clean off the work. Dollars that we all worked too hard to earn!
As
a Republican who looks at this picture, I can feel a little ping as my sense of
values, based on my own limited perspective, is teased. However, as a person
who enjoys lively debate and is open-minded to alternative views I "get
it". There is a valuable message we can learn from this act and how the
needs of some youth are not being met.
Do we see the similarities between ourselves?
Did I mention this is one of my favorite coffee shops? It is and it is embedded in a highly liberal area. Being a Republican doesn't mean I don't enjoy people from various backgrounds and beliefs. Each person I meet has something valid and important to say. It just depends on whether political leadership is listening to the deeper message or not.
Hoping someday to take more of a leadership position in political life, and of a scientific mindset, I can say that the message displayed here is one of fear. Of course it is only my humble opinion. It is fear of ones life, validation of needs, and the desire to feel connected to society. They are saying, "I have something to say, and my needs are not heard,"...so I'm going to paint it on the street!
Engagement might be the cure!
How we draw younger adults to engage in more constructive criticism and push for meaningful change in society is a monumental task. There is a lack of trust that seems to be etched in society between the two camps of political thought. As a nation we should ultimately be more concerned with creating a better nation for the next generation. It is our duty to draw them into appropriate political expression and push their efforts toward making society a better place to live.
Are the two political sides actually listening to each other or are they just drowning out the conversation?
As a Republican I have faith that we can better connect to young people and help them realize the importance of contributing to society in helpful ways. That may be developing a sense of community, engaging in pursuits that better themselves, supporting acts that strengthen society, and expressing themselves in appropriate outlets. While I may disagree with some of the things that have been said, I can steadfastly support some of the general philosophies that have not been tampered by the "spirit of the day". As a mechanism of political expression, I would hope we could keep the streets and public property free from political expression, or civil disobedience, as you might choose to define it!
