Being determined is a must-have trait in my opinion because it gives you that drive to accomplish anything you want no matter what the situation is and if you have that drive you'll be able to accomplish your goals and will stop at nothing, Be relentless.
I think being determined is a very strong virtue because without it, you will stop at every bump you hit on the road but, when you have determination you stop at nothing and keep going until you meet that goal. I think everyone needs to have this drive inside them, it will make people stronger and hardworking. Going with the flow is obviously an easier road and more relaxing as well but, at the end where will you be? If you have large amounts of work to do, you're stressing and pushing your body to do more everyday then at the end you'll feel satisfaction and you'll see results and like I said before, accomplish your goals. Being determined means to be relentless, persistent and most importantly consistent. People say all the time that they're going to get straight A's but after a month they slack off, you have to keep going to the end. Being determined doesn't only help yourself but helps others around because they follow by example and if you have a family and are determined to work hard, they will benefit from that too not only you.

I really enjoyed reading your post. I agree with the examples you gave about someone setting a goal to get good grades and having determination makes that an easier task to stick with. I feel that determination is a very relevant virtue for college students, especially us freshman, to have. It will make room for preparation for whats to come as we get more of the idea of what it means to be a successful college student, in addition to providing us with the personal drive to keep pushing forward to accomplish our individual goals.
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting idea that highlights the acts of determination allows to continue, but I would have like to hear more about the "pushing ahead" and even forward at a faster pace than others would dare. Determination as an act is sometimes a reckless action. I think that determination makes others want to go on living simply because it inspires others to get determined as well. I think that is what makes it so contagious. It is because they lack the quality and those who seek it are granted it.
