You have patience and the ability to stick with  things until  the end. You may assimilate  material at  a slower  pace than  others, but once a  concept is  learned, it  is never  forgotten.  You  hate being forced or rushed into a decision or an action, especially if you  have not  been  given  time  to  think  it  all  through  and  evaluate the practicalities of the situation.  Once your  mind is  made up,  that's  it.  It will take a lot to undo it.  Perseverance is one of your  best traits.  You enjoy sustaining what others have started,  especially if you can see tangible, practical results.
