DEFINITION:
What is Determination?
Determination is a positive emotional feeling that involves persevering towards a difficult goal in spite of obstacles. Determination occurs prior to attaining a goal and serves to motivate behaviour that will help achieve that goal
Determination is never giving up, no matter what! A determined person decides to do something, and then does it!
What are the benefits of determination?
- Determination Is Transformative. Your innate talents may create opportunities, but you have to put in the real work to make those opportunities a reality. …
- Determination Keeps You Moving Forward. Determination is about staying focused on a goal. ..
- Determination Overcomes Failure.
Further discussion will occur in the mentor period this week
