THE POWER OF DETERMINATION

Once upon a time there was an old train, who wanted to engage herself in a hill climbing competition with much younger trains. The goal was to reach the top of a hill. Most of her friends and critics scorned her and tried to discourage her however she maintain her stand. On the day of the competition big crowd had gathered around the hill to see the race and scorn the old train. The race began. Honestly: No one in the crowd really gave the old train a chance of reaching the middle of the hill. 

You heard statements such as: "oh, you are too old for this crazy ambition of yours!“

“You will NEVER make it to the top. “Or statements like:

"Not a chance that you will succeed. The hill is too high and your strength can NEVER carry you through!" The old train began to Say to herself, “I KNOW I CAN”, “I KNOW I CAN”, “I KNOW I CAN”.... The crowd continue to yelling, "It is too difficult lazy ass!!! No one of your age can make it check your history book! “But she purposed in her heart not to give up....  Suddenly her strength gradually begins to fail.... She felt like fainting and giving up! Her song began to slow down. 

       “I KNOW ..........  I ............CAN” , “I KNOW ..........  I ............CAN”, “I KNOW ..........  I ............CAN” She told herself just give it a little push, Alas ... She got to the tip of the hill and the crowd was astonished at her effort. At the point of descending the hill her song changed to “I KNEW I COULD”, “I KNEW I COULD”, “I KNEW I COULD”. THEN Crowd naturally wanted to know how this old train managed to do it? One of the Spectators asked the old Train how she had found the strength to succeed and reach her set goal. She said “with courage and determination success is unavoidable”
