One quality of the Bodhisatta that always impresses me, is that once he had made up his mind to do something, he would do it and see it through to it's culmination - even if that was fasting in an excessive way, almost to the point of death - well, done! Such amazing resolve and perseverance. (As well as the wisdom, self-honesty, and humility to finally realize it was the wrong path to take, and to then abandon it, and try something else).
