25 Quotes on Determination and Accomplishment
The determination is the ability to keep trying, and to keep moving towards a goal, no matter what. It is in getting back up no matter how many times we fall down. People who have mastered determination are not necessarily people who have never failed or even those who have failed many times.
People with determination are those who get up and keep going, who learn from what went wrong and adjust course, and who believe in themselves despite all obstacles. The difference between eventual success and failure can be a true sense of determination.
