"Determination"-The Key To Success

The stronghold of the deterministic sentiment is the antipathy to the idea of chance. Williams James 1842-1910.

Success is no accident; it will not amazingly appear, regardless of how nice or talented you think you are or how deserving you envision yourself to be. To accomplish this pinnacle you must have a solid plan, focus, resolve and, most of all, demonstrate fortitude at all levels. Down slides or setbacks are inevitable, but do not falter. Identify the cause, correct it and let it fire up your "Determination" to an even greater degree.

Theodore Roosevelt once said, "It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms; the great devotions; and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

To reach success, you must have confidence in what you are doing. Change directions when required, but always keep your eyes on the prize. Stand steady. Step strongly ahead; generate "Determination" the key to success.
