DETERMINATION vs DESPERATION

These are two different words used interchangeably. They are both energies with different route.

Determination is pushing forward and never giving up on your pursuit/goal/ambition. It recognizes the fact that Success is One-way route and presses harder to attain it. With this energy; You rise again and again even when you fall again and again, never wanting to compromise but with your head up high; your dignity maintained and your strength asmotivation and encouragement to those around. When you get to a certain stage, you take a pulse and continue pressing for the next.

Desperation is also pressing forward, wanting to attain a goal but with an energy to compromise. You do anything to get what you want against moral value, not minding your dignity. This is where you find people with the thought ''i must get it any how''. You render yourself vulnerable to be used, those around you sees you as pathetic and feels the need to take advantage of your pathetic situation.

Another difference between determination and desperation is their nature of flexibility and rigidity. A determined fellow has a flexible emotion which allows him to pursue destiny in a modest and gentle way with the willingness to retreat when necessary, perhaps try using another approach with persistence but not giving up.

Desperation has a rigid emotion, not willing to retreat but with the motive of having IT at all cost. The vision of a desperate fellow is always too shortsighted to see behind-the-box, therefore they stop at nothing but betraying their conscience.

As much as determination and desperation aims at achieving a goal (success) the success obtain through desperation is synonymous to a sugar cube exposed to ants, even though it's celebrated, such fellow is locked up with sadness him alone feels.

It is important to check ourselves and be sure we are not desperate but determined to fulfill destiny.
Cheers!
