Hi James,
Being a pit bull doesn't necessarily give you advantage. Pit bulls in my province are not allowed due to some very brutal accidents.
What I see as persistence is an ability to hung there while all the sings tell you, you are defeated.
Here is couple of reasons why it is worth being persistent.
1. Not always you see all the signs. You might be seeing bad ones only and forget about the good ones.
2. In situations when you can show that you stay till the end, you win sympathy and support of those who were just standing by. They might help you. People always like underdogs.
3. Quite often people quit one step from reaching their goals. This is like with running. At the end you have no energy but you have to find it to just finish or not to be outrun by your competition. Once you reach the finish line, you can stop and rest, but you have to get there.
The analogy of a pit ball is a good one as long as you compare the persistence but I would not want to use the motives the pit ball has.
