The word for it is: persistency
And what is persistency? PERSISTENCY the fact of continuing in an opinion or course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition.
Really, persistency is a part of life whether you like it or not. It's just how it is. There's nothing you nor I can do about it.
As someone once put it,
Persistence is the ability to stick with something. If you practice the violin for over a year in order to play "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" perfectly, that's persistence! Persistence can also mean something that lasts for a very long time.
Also,
Persistence is continuing to try, an effect that continues even after the cause has been removed or something that sticks around for a long time. An example of persistence is when you try and try to learn a new skill, never giving up.
You must be persistent if you ever want to achieve anything worthwhile in life.
