I don’t agree that everything depends on determination, yes it is an important factor but there are also some external factor which don’t depend from you.

I agree without a doubt that determination is the main factor which separates greatness from mediocrity. It is so easy to give up and coast through life, but to be able to pick ourself up and dust ourself off after each failure, not caring how hard we fell, but only what we have to do next to achieve our dream, is something that only a select few can do.

Thanks for the inspiration again,
Mike

Great post Walter.I’ve been thinking about this for awhile. When I speak with my old classmates and I talk about what I’m doing, they say ” Wow, I’d like to do that, but it’s too hard…”

They stop right there. It’s hard, the end. No growth or challenges. I once heard obstacles are there to filter the weak from the strong and that seems to be the case. In the classic essay ” The Common Denominator of Success” the author found the difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is that successful people favor ” favorable results” while unsuccessful people favor “favorable methods.” In addition, successful people don’t like unpleasing methods either but their thoughts of displeasure are overshadowed by their vision of their results.
For me I feel less of a man taking the easy route. I would’ve made a great math professor/teacher. But just because I can do something doesn’t mean that I always should. That path had no soul. If everyone thinks that I can do something, and I know that I can do something, where’s the challenge? Where’s the fun. When do I venture out of my comfort zone. Being so predictable, is really boring in my opinion.

Anyways, maybe I’m going off tangent here, but I understand your point
