An unfinished sentence I wrote and three of its responses from September 1991:
Persistence pays off handsomely when...
...your boss decides to give you a two-week paid vacation just because he's sick of your face around the office when he's trying to take a nap. (Miranda G.)
...you finally get the lug nuts off your flat tire and make it to your best friend's wedding on time, dress intact. (Charlotte O.)
...the day comes to assign a monetary value to it. (Eric S.)
