The Columnist:THE POWER OF DETERMINATION

Determination is the leading factor in success without it, we may never reach our goals you must have self-determination. Without it, when you reach a problem or something holds you back, you may quit and never get past that barrier or limit.  Readers, let me take succor in the first black American President, Barrack Hussein Obama in which he said that “The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something.  Don’t wait for good things to happen to you.  If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope “.  What the black American President is telling us that despite the barrier, problem, calamities, ups and downs, challenges we might have faced, we should stand upright and be determined. We should do something that will give hope to the hopeless and give hope to ourselves.
           




 Furthermore, there are many examples of determination, before you entered this great citadel of learning , you might have been determined in your mind that you will get admitted and no turning back, and all these come by bold step and hard work, now you have the result.  By self-determination a lot of thing gives hope in life.  Determination connotes the strength, or the tenacity of your mind and will with which you hold to your cherished goals and pursue them with the perseverance. Its strength is determined to the extent you work against odds and succeed, your determination depends greatly upon your beliefs and the faith you have in your goals and abilities.
Determination is a double edged sword which cuts both ways, it may be used to pursue both good and evil ends.
   In the end, determination is what carries you towards your goals. If man has walked on the moon or is going to land on mars someday, it is because of our determination to extend our presence far beyond the earth, by surmounting the difficulties and increasing our knowledge and awareness about ourselves, our existence and the universe in which we live.
