Almost all of us are familiar
with this universal truth “where there is a will, there is a way”. But, we don’t
understand the exact meaning of this truth. According to this, if you have a
goal-oriented attitude or self determination, you will create your way to attain
the most desirable thing. Now the question arises What basically determination
is? Determination is a positive attitude that helps one in achieving its most
desirable thing irrespective of any barrier and obstacle. The most desirable
thing that one wants to achieve is one’s goal or ambition. Determination usually
consists of a person’s skills, capabilities, and strength. All these ingredients
lead to develop a goal-oriented attitude. In short, determination is the thirst
of attaining something. We all have grown up with the story of “thirsty crow”.
This story tells us how in the time of need, the crow thought of a scheme that
proved fruitful to him. So, if a man has enough determination and will he will
definitely get his aim.
Determination has also brought many great revolution in the history of different
societies and countries. If we look back, we will find out that China was not
known by most of the countries as well as its economic condition was worst a few
years ago. Or we can say that it was economically unstable country. But, now it
is the World’s fastest growing major economy. They fulfill their dream of being
a developed country by their strong determination and intense hard work. Today,
they are living their dream. Just like China, we also have a great example of
Ind Pk Independence in front of us. Our ancestors did hard work even that
sacrificed their lives for their dream of independent state. This victory is
momentous and a great accomplishment. We can’t attain our goals without a little
sweat. Strong determination, solid planning and intense hard work are keys to
success. All of these ingredients are important but the most important is
determination. Because, without determination one can’t dream and look forward
to the brighter future. So, success is more like managing the dreams and work
for them. Have you ever thought how a manager works to fulfill the goals of a
company? Out of all goals, the most important goal of a company is to make
profit and become a market leader (market leader has the most shares of the
market and a huge number of customers). First of all, manager sets the goal to
be achieved, motivate himself as well as the staff to develop goal-oriented
attitude, then plan the things and finally encourage the staff to work hard for
the goal. In this way, he fulfills company’s goal. During this process, he also
monitors his progress from time-to-time.
Al most all of us are inspired by successful personalities of the world or we
consider them as our ideals. If we study the biography of our ideal, we will
find out that these people always had some ambition, thirst to achieve that
ambition and worked hard. They always tried hard to change their state. And,
today they are living a life of honor. That’s why determined people are more
successful and happier than those who are not.
But, today we have forgotten this rule of success and there is a lack of
determination in the society. Most of us believed that destiny has a strong
control over us. I am not denying this fact but in my opinion life is not a bed
of roses and you won’t be served with everything without encountering hardships.
In fact, you have to achieve things in spite of believing in go with the flow
concept. Some people succeed because they are destined to but most because they
are determined to. There is nothing impossible in this world. The difference
between possible and impossible lies in a person’s determination. If you have
determination, drive and discipline nothing is impossible. I wonder if people
could understand this quote “Failure will never overtake you, if determination
to succeed is strong enough”. There is no doubt that determination is the thing
that does the most to affect how much we get out of the talents and
opportunities that we are given in life. Determination today leads to success
tomorrow. In fact, determination determines our destination.
