Determination

Each person has determination in them and is surrounded by it anywhere we look. Being determined is having a goal and going for it no matter what it takes. Having to step forward in life is a task all in itself and knowing what it is we have to do to get where were going. Anywhere and everywhere in history is determination and dedication. Knowing what has to be done and going for it no matter what is determination and is a major key into becoming successful and in the end being happy.

In life there are always difficult choices to be made and different paths to be followed and the only one that can follow the path and make the choices is the one that has the determination to do so and many famous writers have said a determination quote in there lifetime. " We must remember that one determined person can make a significant difference, and that a small group of determined people can change the course of history". (Sonia Johnson) We all have to make decision and depending on the determination we can accomplish anything we set our minds and hearts to.

Determination is something that everyone has in them. It's just the way we can act upon a given task to make us or break us and determination is a major factor of it all. In such circumstances we use determination to follow our dreams. There are many people in this world that are paralyzed and with determination can conquer anything from learning how to drive, getting around and in some cases being top competitors of the sports wold. Being determined gives us the heart and soul to do anything we put our minds to.

There are many people in this world that use there determination to become well known and to accomplish there tasks that they put forward. One of these famous people we all know and should know. Albert Einstein is a well know inventor of the light bulb and determining why the sky was blue. He had the determination after failing countless times over on the invention of the light bulb. But still pushed forward and accomplished what he put his mind to. Albert Einstein has countless inventions and without determination he would have never completed them.

In almost every book a person reads he or she can find determination in it everywhere everywhere. In "Three Cups of Tea" by Greg Mortenson, he shows countless times again his determination to help the less fortunate. " Mortenson couldn't imagine ever discharging the debt he felt to his host in Korphe. But he was determined to try." (Mortenson pg.30) Every time Greg Mortenson has a task that he puts into motion he has the determination to make sure he completes it. In the case of his book he is determined to help the villagers. Reading this book really puts the word "Determination" into a less broad view and into a more defining meaning.
From every day to day activity to the most challenging task we make for our selves we are determined to finish it. This is a great way to build character and makes anyone a better person for at least trying a task. Being determined is not only to succeed but it is also failure. Even if we try our hardest and sometimes we don't succeed in our task but our determination was there. Like when we try to hit a ball and fail and fail but we try our hardest and try to hit the ball because we are determined to. But we all have little push to fail but when it happens there is always another way to make it better. Using determination to find another way to succeed.

We all have determination, its just how we use it that will better ourselves. In books, movies, war, life and everywhere we look we can find not just the word of determination in us but the act of doing it really shows us that we have it. Having the determination really helped me get through essays and ever day tasks that I put in front of me. Stepping forward in my life has made me a happier human being. The determination and success are all linked and without this wonderful meaning of a word and I wouldn't be where I am today.
