"Unlock Your Boundless Potential: Experience the Tedx Event - Embrace the Power of Determination and Learn Life-Changing Strategies for Success"

Determination means never giving up and always trying your best no matter how hard something is. It's like when you really want to ride a bike, but it's really difficult at first and you fall down a lot. But instead of giving up, you keep trying and practicing until you can ride the bike all by yourself. Determination helps us to achieve our goals even when things are tough.
