If you do something with 'perseverance' or if you have 'perseverance', you keep trying to do it and you do not give up, even though it is very difficult. It is basically continued effort and determination. Example - Through hard work and perseverance, he worked his way up from being a teacher in a village school to the headmaster of a large comprehensive. The team's perseverance was finally rewarded when they scored two goals in the last five minutes of the match.

—Synonyms 1. doggedness, steadfastness. Perseverance, persistence, tenacity, pertinacity imply resolute and unyielding holding on in following a course of action. Perseverance commonly suggests activity maintained in spite of difficulties or steadfast and long-continued application: Endurance and perseverance combined to win in the end. It is regularly used in a favorable sense. Persistence, which may be used in either a favorable or an unfavorable sense, implies unremitting (and sometimes annoying) perseverance: persistence in a belief; persistence in talking when others wish to study. Tenacity, with the original meaning of adhesiveness, as of glue, is a dogged and determined holding on. Whether used literally or figuratively it has favorable implications: a bulldog quality of tenacity; the tenacity of one's memory. Pertinacity, unlike its related word, is used chiefly in an unfavorable sense, that of overinsistent tenacity: the pertinacity of the social climber.

Perseverance means to continue or keep on in the face of adversity. A country western song goes like this...."If you're going through hell, keep on going. If you're going through hell, keep on going and the devil may never know you're there".
