DAVID BECKHAM: Hi, I'm David,
and today I'm here to tell you

00:00:03.440 --> 00:00:06.619
about the word "persistent."
Persistent means not to give

00:00:06.620 --> 00:00:08.604
up even when things don't go
the way you want them to.

00:00:09.605 --> 00:00:10.379
ELMO: Mr. David?

00:00:11.380 --> 00:00:13.785
Mr. David, please play
soccer with Elmo.

00:00:13.786 --> 00:00:14.900
DAVID BECKHAM: Not
right now, Elmo.

00:00:15.100 --> 00:00:15.859
I'm in the middle
of something.

00:00:15.860 --> 00:00:16.539
ELMO: Oh, OK.

00:00:17.540 --> 00:00:18.389
DAVID BECKHAM: OK, back
to persistent.

00:00:19.390 --> 00:00:20.479
Here's an example.

00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:26.999
If you want to learn how to
dribble a ball like this, you

00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:28.659
have to keep trying
and trying.

00:00:28.660 --> 00:00:29.590
You have to be persistent.

00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:31.292
ELMO: Oh, oh, Mr. David?

00:00:31.293 --> 00:00:32.599
Are you ready for Elmo?

00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:33.739
DAVID BECKHAM: Not yet, Elmo.

00:00:33.740 --> 00:00:34.239
ELMO: OK.

00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:37.279
DAVID BECKHAM: And if you want
to be able to bounce a ball on

00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:42.490
your head like this,
you can't give up.

00:00:43.500 --> 00:00:44.649
You have to be persistent.

00:00:44.650 --> 00:00:45.479
So if you really, really
want to do something--

00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:48.914
ELMO: Oh, oh, Mr. David,
please, please, please?

00:00:48.915 --> 00:00:49.862
Can Elmo and Mr. David
play right now?

00:00:50.863 --> 00:00:51.819
Please, please, please,
please?

00:00:52.820 --> 00:00:55.699
DAVID BECKHAM: It pays to be
persistent, like my red, furry

00:00:56.700 --> 00:00:56.519
friend here.

00:00:57.520 --> 00:00:57.159
Come on, Elmo.

00:00:58.160 --> 00:00:58.500
Let's play.

00:00:59.600 --> 00:00:59.897
ELMO: OK.

00:00:59.898 --> 00:01:00.681
Persistent!

00:01:01.682 --> 00:01:02.931
You go first.

00:01:02.932 --> 00:01:03.571
