I think I’ll just “endeavour to persevere” ...
Had a buddy of mine who wanted to take an Early Retirement package from a company we worked for (Motorola). He had been denied the early retirement package previously, as he was deemed too important to loose.
So, he and I wrote a list of accomplishments like that on his yearly review - with goals of things like remembering to zip his pants, to shower at least once a month, refrain from spitting .... the next year, he was able to take advantage of the early retirement program.
