What is the hardest thing you’ve ever learned to do? Maybe you’ve become a master at the piano, or you can juggle. Maybe you can do gymnastics or win at any video game. Whatever it is we try to learn, if we want to be really good we should realize it’s going to take a while, but if we stick with it it will be worth it. Today we have some stories about patience and persistence from tellers like Bobby Norfolk, Michael Katz, and more.
