Determination Quotations We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort. Jesse Owens Gold medals aren't really made of gold. They're made of sweat, determination, and a hard-to-find alloy called guts. Dan Gable A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work. Colin Powell The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.

With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high. Ayrton Senna
