Hi my friends, do you usually do things try your best ,no matter what the thing that you are doing? Are you a person who never gives up when met a difficulty? Go back or just cpontinue doing? Do you usually believe where there is will , there is a way?
As far as I am concerned, I thinki usually the words where there is a will, there is a way, I will usually try my best to overcome the difficulties in my life , just struggle to the end of success.
How about you? Will do it ,so?

It depends what is trying to get done. Most things have a way to be done, but there are some things that physically impossible.

My parents taught me early in life that when someone is determined to meet a specific end, then they are are able to meet that end. Therefore, I am convinced that the saying "When there is a will, there is a way" is a saying that is very, very true. I know that I've been able to achieve everything in my life that I have been very determined to do and I think it is because of the fact that when I want to get something done I will not give up until I've met the end that I would like to meet.

Of course if you really believe to something there's always a way, if you are always willing you can make it. If you're just making an excuse you can't really do about what you wanted but still there's always a way to overcome everything if you should try and try it...

I always want to be a man who continue keeping on my own belief.after experience some difficult situation,I actually grew up ,and easily to accept other challenge. However,there are something that we can not decide and suceed by ourselves,such as love.if the person you likes does not like you forever,because she/he has own demand about their patner. Undoubtly,you can try you best to achieve their aims,but the person may has already found other people. Futhermore,it is fact that you get lost when you defeat the "enemy". You might find the difficult is not the one that you thought. Just realize your true hardship,especially a coulp of difficulty ahead.

I do believe where there is a will, there is a way. One of my mottos I use is "In order to accomplish your goals in life you must first overcome the obstacles that lie ahead of you on a daily basis" this along with "Patience is a virtue" and finally "Be positive to yourself and to others because it will benefit you in the long run". These are just some of what I use to motivate myself to succeed. Because you have to think about this for whatever you are doing to try and become successful. Do you want the next 5 years to be the same as the last 5 years? Inflation is 4% now so if you aren't earning 4% or more you are really going backwards rather than forwards. So if you don't want the next 5 years to be the same as the last 5 years then you have to make a change in your life and you will accomplish true success.

I think that the quote "where there is a will, there is a way" is a part of life. I think that some humans are giving up too easily because they are cowards. That means that they have no courage or no willpower in order to overcome the obstacles that are presented to them. I have been overcome with physical and mental challenges, and time after time I almost wanted to give up, even give up on life. However, a voice inside my head keeps saying to try harder and harder, and almost 99.9% of the time, I overcame the physical challenges that were presented to me.
For example, when I kept failing the Reading portion of the FCAT year after year, I almost wanted to give up. In 7th grade, I fell asleep, gave up hope, and failed with a Level 1 score of 193 (they rate the levels by number, from 1-5) and I was disappointed. In 8th grade, I tried a little harder, and came up with a whopping 110-point improvement to an upper Level 2, from 193 to 303. In 9th Grade, I took the same test with different questions and made it with a 312 (still a Level 2). Last school year, I took the same test, but with the writing included, and I dropped from a Level 2 (312) to a Level 1 (272). I basically gave up all hope after this. When I started 11th grade, I still was doubtful that I could pass the FCAT reading. I went to a reading program for 4 Saturdays. I took the FCAT reading one more time and I thought that I didn't pass. Little did I know that I would pass the FCAT. It was the happiest moment of my school life.
The moral of the story is: Try your hardest even when you are presented with overwhelming challenges.

I do believe that when there is the will there is a way.
I have found myself in difficult situations which I have overcome thanks to my hard hardheadedness. My parents were always afraid when I was learning how to swim in case I will drown. Or they were afraid when I was learning how to drive a car, in case I was involved in a traffic accident. Thanks to my hard headedness I succeeded.

There is always light at the end of a long tunnel is a saying I believe in. When something is a struggle then achieving it will be very special. I began learning to drive a car in 2002. I had practical driving tests which I failed because of my nerves. I had long periods where I thought I would never pass my practical driving test so I almost gave up trying. It seemed to drain my finances. I took a practical driving test in November 2009 and failed it. Amazingly I had the courage to take another practical driving test in February 2010 and passed it. I am so happy that I know where there is a will there is a way. The road to success might be a long one with many challenges. Being able to drive my car has changed my life in a positive way. I feel so very happy now that I have a car and a full driving license.

Hi. Whatever i do, i make my best to do it. The outcome may go against my expectation, but i see to it that i always do my utmost to do it so that i won't regret or put blame on myself afterwards. But i don't believe the saying "where there is a will, where is a way". You may not be able to find a way out even though you have tried your best. I call this "destiny". A gifted artist, for instance, may have to struggle between the poverty line all his life even if he wants to make the best use of his faculties. We need hard work and the spirit of perseverence, but we also need opportunities which can not fall before everyone.

Well in general there is always the possibility of being successful when there is that will and determination. I still recall what Einstein said, that he found 1001 ways how not to make a light bulb. In other words, it took him a thousand tries before he finally succeed. So if you really are determined, then there is always the chance of success.

You just keep going until you reach your goal. Even if there are setbacks, you just gotta keep pushing forward. Whether or not people understand you and help is irrelevant.. keep going!

Good for you and I also believe in that saying- it's only in the mind- if you focus it you can make things happen even if there are many things stopping you. You can ask help from others or from God, if you are determined all - or most of the things will end well.
