purserverance

Unwavering determination to carry out da duties of a ship's accountant.
Da portly board-members of Rich Industries were none too pleased when Young Richie assumed temporary control of da company --- thanks to his purserverance, said arrogant cigar-smokers' stated goal of "cutting da company fat" majorly backfired, in dat THEY THEMSELVES ended up taking a pay-cut!

preserverance

The ability to keep going even of you think the task is too much too handle. Being able to handle anything that comes in your direction, even though it may seem impossible. The ability to take on and concur whatever may face you. The fortitude to keep your mindset and keep pushing towards the goal.
My preserverance was strong enough to defeat my battle against the demons in my mind. I preserved the strength that I learned and used it against my enemies.

pisserverance

A special type of perseverance displayed by a young pet, especially a dog, marked by a steadfastness in the act of urinating numerous times on its training pad in order to obtain as many rewards as possible such as a meaty treat or bone, despite difficulty or delay in achieving success.
His dachshund's pisseverance illustrates its single-mindedness to get lots of treats. In the course of one day, it drank 10 gallons of water and always held some back each time it pissed so it could turn the next pad yellow at will. Now that's not normal doggedness. That's pisserverance!

Perseverance Rover

The NASA perserverance rover is a rover that used MOXIE (Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment) to generate a lot of oxygen (122g) from carbon dioxide by splitting it with a catalyst insulated by aerogel.

During the process of separating the oxygen atom, the temperature rises to 798° C. In this regard, MOXIE has received a gold coating and an aerogel. The presence of heat resistant materials ensures that heat is retained inside the tool. The Perseverance rover extracted oxygen from carbon dioxide 16 times, leaving carbon monoxide as a byproduct. Oxygen is good not just for future astronauts to breathe, but also to fuel rockets.

Belief Perseverance

A cognitive bias. It's fairly similar to confirmation bias except an individual actually receives information that discredits or contradicts their beliefs but continues to cling on to their views out of stubbornness.
Elmer doesn't think Donald Trump is divisive even though I showed him a video proving otherwise? Man, he has belief perseverance issues.
