When I was unemployed for six months, went out with my sign board and was granted my first round of viral publicity, people wrote to me about the importance of perseverance.
Josh,
I was inspired by your tenacity. Being in sales, my life is about perseverance and determination. In fact a dream of mine was to live in Europe.
I met a great girl on Match.com and we recently did just that.
My career in sales has been rewarding because it is all about relationships and taking care of people.
I do not know if you have explored sales as a career, and what you did to get your name out there was awesome! I would not be surprised if Donald Trump calls you. Keep the faith. Sales would be a great thing!
Good Luck
Dear Josh-
I admire your courage and perseverance. I'll send your email to a few of my contacts. Good luck in your quest for your true calling in life (at least one that pays the bills). Let's get together next time you visit DC.
When I eventually started working five months later, because of my perseverance and success, I was granted a second round of viral publicity. People who learned my story posted a flurry of comments on my blog, praising me as an inspiration and a role model of tenacity.
Congratulations on the new job! It's great to see your perseverance and originality payoff.
Congratulations on your new job! Love a happy ending. Your efforts and persistence paid off! Happy holidays to you and your family!
Hello Josh,
Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today you popped up on Yahoo news and The New York Post.
Way to go!!! You are an inspiration to people in today's times.
I wrote to you back in July. Your persistence paid off.
I am very Happy for you and your family.
Congratulations on you new job! You have inspired us to keep going. Thanks to people like you, we have come to believe in the human spirit once again.
Glad to see some of us are NOT waiting for the government to bail us out. And it’s been a long wait for you. Congratulations!
Enjoy your family time this holiday season with a heavy burden lifted. They are lucky to have such a wonderful example of character and perseverance in you. You may not see it for many years but they are learning a wonderful life lesson from you.
God Bless.
Congratulations - I just read your Yahoo news piece. Persistence pays off!
Congratulations to you and your family. You never gave up and that is very important to us right now. Your example proves to us that the American spirit is not broken and will not be broken. If you can do it then anyone can, I also am happy to see that there are strangers there that are willing to help out. Everyone ignored you for the time that you stood alone, but with much perseverance you found compassion and faith.
Congratulations and God Bless!
Joshua: Congratulations on getting a new job and persisting. Wondered if you wanted to talk about it on WLPO Radio either live Friday...or
record something for use on Sunday? Thanks for your consideration. We're about halfway between the Mississippi River and Chicago along I-80.
Greetings from the Philippines!
After reading your success story at Yahoo homepage I was teary eyed. I admire your courage and great faith. God is working in your life. How I wish all the men out there will have that courage that you possess to persevere for his family. Lucky is your wife and kids to have somebody like you. Best wishes in your endeavor. You are one wonderful creation. Happy Holidays! God bless!
Joshua, I am so very delighted to read your story and I can't tell you how happy I am for you and your family. You obviously never gave up, are very determined, and you've done whatever you had to do to support your family. You should be very proud of yourself. Best of all, you will all be all that much happier to be together and in addition, you will inspire thousands of others to keep looking. Isn't life amazing?
Congratulations, Joshua. Your originality and persistence paid off.
Congratulations on your patience and persistence. You are truly an inspiration to so many people.
Congrats Joshua on your new job.
I read about you from a Taiwan's magazine.
Your credentials are great.
Even more inspiring is your perseverance.
Well done.
Such is the importance of not giving up!
I may have been persistent, but I could not have survived without the help and support of my family and friends, Paloma and all the people who wrote to me with words of encouragement, “Don’t give up!”
