Never give up! Never give up! Never, never, never, never!” Personal history, educational opportunity, individual dilemmas none of these can inhibit a strong spirit committed to success. Take Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison and Abraham Lincoln as an example. Despite the immense obstacles and extreme criticism, their strong will, optimism, dedication and determination enabled them to triumph over the overwhelming failures and profound difficulties in their lives.Many artists, statesmen, writers and inventors achieved prosperity because they possessed a committed and focused will to keep preparing and working and a passion to succeed. Many people simply say that they want something, but they do not expend the substantial effort required to achieve it. Many people let the threat of failure stop them from trying with all of their heart. The secret of success is based upon a burning inward desire that fuels the determination to act, to keep preparing, to keep going even when we are tired and fail. Focus on becoming more knowledgeable. Focus on gradual, consistent progress. Maintain the strong will to keep going. With hard work, determination, dedication and preparation, you can transcend any handicap, accomplish any feat, and achieve success!Step 7. DiscussionCritical thinkingTheme exploration1.
