"You've got to get up every morning with determination if you're going to go to bed with satisfaction." -- George Lorimer

We say it everyday, and if we're not saying it, we're thinking it. It's at the very core of what we all know. That being, we must work hard if we are to see any sort of reward. No action leads to no result. Of course, even though we all know this, what differentiates those who do good from those who do great is the determination factor. How determined are you to achieve greatness? Do you get your hands dirty with the soil of hard work? It is not enough to dream it. You must do it. Do whatever it takes. Do it everyday. Do it until you get to where you want to be. And when you get to where you want to be, keep pushing. You can do more. You'll fall many times, but don't stop. It might be that last time you stand up that makes all the difference.
