Determination
I have been in school for twelve years and seen many friends drop out. I’ve never understood how they could make it so far and just give up. But the only thing that seems to make any since is a lack of determination. It is very good to have vivid image of the things you want in life. A lion doesn’t hunt its prey with its eyes closed so don’t blindly chase after a dream or hope to accomplish something without putting any effort towards it. Think about the things you want in the future and weigh out the possibilities. Once you know what you want in life then you can set goals to achieve your dreams. Although some people can have a very vivid image of the life they want, but when things get a bit rough they lose hope and walk away. As one of the greatest military leaders once said “The truest wisdom is a resolute determination” -Napoleon Bonaparte. I believe that means the best way to stay determined in achieving your personal goals is to stay focused, courageous, and decisive at all times.
I have always had problems when it came to paying attention to a particular thing or subject. No matter what I am doing at the time I seem to lose focus. I have so much on my mind at all times so it’s hard to focus on a single thing. So staying focused has never been an easy task. Yet I know that in order to make it in life there are certain things that I must pay attention to. Such as my Auto teachers class lesson because later on in my life all the stuff he had taught is going to be a part of my everyday life. So every day in that class I am determined to pay attention and become better at my work. A lot of the time it isn’t particularly my fault that I can’t stay focused. There are many distractions in today’s society unlike in the past where all you had to worry about was your profession and your family. It is very important to learn how to block certain things out so you can stay determined and focus on
