media type="custom" key="4767139"  This photo board centers on a little Asian boy, a very cute child, who is reaching for a tree's branch. The Boy appears to be stubborn and makes great efforts to defy his vertical challenges. The caption provided states  “ Persistence: Its half the battle  ”  . He is reaching for a branch of a tree with many beautiful blossoming flowers but he clearly has no chance of ever catching one because he is at least four feet too short. People often say that persistence is half the battle, but when it is said in this context it is meant in a positive way; it will be much easier for you to achieve your dreams if you are persistent and don  ’ t give up when things are difficult. However, in the case of this photo board, the viewer sees the other side of this phrase. In some cases one cannot achieve his or her dreams regardless of how persistent one is, and this poster reminds us of this flaw. Try as the boy might, without a ladder or the help of another, he will never reach the flowers in the tree above. Kassim, Emran. Eirfan - I'm not tall enough. 2009. recreation, Nagoya, Aichi.
