Without determination, all attempts at accomplishing your dreams will come to a halt. The reason is because you will be faced with a lot of obstacles, some large enough to make you want to quit on your dreams. If you want to greatly increase your odds of becoming successful, you need to have the ability to keep going even when it’s the last thing you want to do.
