In order to get a clear conception of perseverance in Flower Remedies remember that:

OAK REMEDY stands for a person who has the qualities of a great fighter—endurance, steadfastness, strength and common sense. He goes on persevering towards his goal, over-taxing his physical and mental endurance till the breaking point and never admits defeat. He considers work as a duty, as a commitment. It is quite often unrelated to his vocation in life.

ELM REMEDY stands for a person who has all the qualities of holding the most responsible positions in society or in his profession. It is only when he temporarily feels overwhelmed by the burden of work in his vocation in life that he requires this remedy.

GORSE is the exact opposite of OAK. GORSE surrenders in the face of difficulties and loses all hope whereas OAK never gives up, and continues efforts to overcome difficulties. In a long-drawn illness when a patient is resolutely persisting with varied treatments, OAK REMEDY is found useful in providing added power to persevere and the patient overcomes any negative feeling in the path of recovery.
