Determination

"The difference between the impossible and possible lies in a man's determination"

Tommy Lasorda

Determination is the act of coming to a decision knowing that you have one goal to achieve and no obstacle is going to stop you. The reason I picked determination is because not only do you need it ti pass the class but you need it in the real world as well. In the real world you are always going to be competing with someone else wether its selling a product to just trying to get a raise on your next pay check, how much determination you have will determine were you end up. For Example Times Person of The Year Mark Zuckerberg, The is the creator of FaceBook. Currently one of every dozen people on the planet has a Facebook account.This college sophomore created one of the largest social networks in the world from his dorm room.

"Where Good ideas come form" by Steven Johnson was a video he created to express his idea in a creative way to try to convince his viewers that his ideas make sense, and also the drawing done in the video were very creative and probably took a lot of work and determination. My last example is " Is Google making us stupid" by Carr, we can almost say that Carr's article and Steven Johnson's video had the same concept just two different topics. As you can see all these people have one thing in common and that is the determination to get their ideas across to other people and try to convince them that your ideas are possible.
