Determination – A lackadaisical attitude is a certain path to failure. Whether dealing with management issues, fighting for self-defense or sports, attitude and mindset will drive the winner forward. If you are not determined to succeed, you won't. The Olympics are a great example. Two top athletes will dedicate their lives to the sport, training hard and striving for that win. Often only a fraction of a second will separate the top medal contenders and that determination and mindset is one aspect that the athlete can control to make that slight difference his or hers.
