1. Die Hard!

As long as persistent is there, even a bar of iron can be turned into a needle. This wise word had been introduced to me since i was still at elementary school; it carried such an incredible wisdom inside.
Once upon a time, in Mainland China, there was a big scholar who share his childhood experience which could change his mindset or way of thinking. Here is the story goes..

Once, there was a little boy who live in a very secluded village. Because of his naughtiness and stubbornness, he kept leaving his reading and writing classes that he had to attend. Instead, he preferred playing around or walking by the river or just walking around the village.
One day whilst he was walking around a river, he saw an old woman who was doing repeated actions endlessly. She seemed to rub something onto a stone. The boy kept on seeing the same thing a couple of days later. This activity arose his curiosity. Then, one day he encouraged himself to approach the old woman and the conversation went as follows:
"Nanny, the last couple of days i have been watching you doing the same thing over and over again. What is it that you are doing?"
"I am rubbing this bar of iron my boy..."
The little boy frowned his eyebrows in disbelief and said, " Huh ?..That's not possible Nanny. How can you turn a bar of iron into a needle?"
The old man looked into the boy's eye and firmly answered, "As long as we have the will, patience, persistence, faith, and endless effort, and keep on rubbing this bar of iron, one day this bar will turn into a needle...".
The little boy was stunned. The conversation strongly stuck into his mind and conscience. The spectacular experience really turned his mentality and made him a diligent, discipline and responsible student. After he grew up he became one of the most distinguished scholars and his words had become very popular ever since.

The power of determination is absolutely amazing, for people who want to develop themselves and struggle to make their wishes come true. It's a must to have determination, when we face trouble, hindrances, obstacles or failure. Without the power of determination, the firm fighting spirit, we tend to be pessimistic, worried and given up in the middle of our way.
"The real succesfull persons are Ordinary people with Extra-Ordinary Determination".
Start having determination now. Practice it in your daily life; hopefully, all your effort and struggle will give you the fruits of success and a more valuable and brighter life.
