The Power of Determination

The Power of Determination tells the stories of fourteen people who carry the following belief in their hearts: I have taken charge of my life. I am determined to do what is needed to grow and succeed in this world. I will let nothing stop me. In the face of obstacles, I will persist. When I get knocked down, I'll get back up. I believe in the words of Muhammad Ali: I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'"
