Determination
by David V. Bush

I'll plan my work and follow it,
For I'm on victory bent;
For all the strength and will I need,
The gods to me have lent.

I know there's something I can do
In this great world I'm in!
The gods give me a vast desire
To labor and to win.

I see around me many men
Who work in skillful way;
And I affirm God means that I
Shall do as well as they.

Of course there's something I can do.
And do exceeding well;
I'll find that work and follow it,
For naught my soul can quell.

Genius And Power
by Orison Swett Marden

There is genius and power in persistence.
It conquers all opposers;
It gives confidence;
It annihilates obstacles.
Everybody believes in the determined man.
People know that when he undertakes a thing,
The battle is half won,
For his rule is to accomplish whatever he sets out to do.

Everybody believes in the determined man

Determination Analogy
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Through the rock and stone
Sitting all alone
A beautiful flower did grow
Brilliant and very yellow.

No one cleared the stone away
The ground was a mess and in array
But determined to push on through
That little flower it grew.

It faced obstacles in the stone
No one helped, it was all alone
But the flower found a way around
It was determined to come above the ground.

Why can't we be like that flower
And be determined using our mind power
We give up too easily when faced with roadblocks
We say life is hard and full of knocks.

But if determination was our attitude
We would have so much more fortitude
We would find a way
And roadblocks would not sway!

Desire is the key to motivation, but it’s the determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal ... that will enable you to attain the success you seek. Mario Andretti

Determined
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

         Deciding what you want to do
   Exploring all the avenues
        Taking time to set your goals
Examining the pot holes
Realizing it can be done
Maybe it won't be all fun
       Instead adjust your attitude
     Never letting go of fortitude
   Enthusiasm can overcome
    Determination is awesome!

Your Determination
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

The choices you make,
The things that keep you awake
The willpower you possess
All determine your success.

How strong is your passion
Are you willing to take action?
Is working your intention
Do you want to make an impression?

The most important thing
Is the determination you bring.
Knowledge is good
but determination is like food.

Your determination will decide
If you keep your dreams & goals alive.
Only you can decide
How you feel inside.

Be like the dog after a bone
Be determined even if alone
Your perseverance will succeed
And life will rewarding indeed!

What Makes Success
by Unknown

What makes one man succeed where another fails?
Naturally ability has something to do with it.

Environment may be a help.
But every man who has made his mark
will tell you that the chief factors are energy,
confidence, indefatigable toil, readiness to learn,
a determination which never relaxes its grip.

And if so, why should you not succeed as well as some one else?
What is there out of these qualities that you may not cultivate?

Most of us have ability enough,
if we will add to it the push and hard work and
determination without which talent is helpless.
