Dear Mr. Henshaw Perseverance Quotes

Well, that's not the best reason for doing something, but it is motivating, and sometimes the only reason we go forward when the situation stinks is so it'll be over.

Leigh certainly isn't shy about pursuing Mr. Henshaw. He's been writing to him for four years and asking him all the questions he doesn't ask anyone else. Here, he seems to know he might be bugging Mr. H.

This not only shows Leigh's tenacity in sticking with writing even when he gets frustrated or stuck, but it also shows why he's persevering. Having a goal or motivation is key when things get tough.
