“The path to success is to take massive, determined action.” – Tony Robbins
Determination is an essential quality because it makes people persevere when encountering challenges. The people who do not have powerful determination usually fail in big and small ways. However, those determined to move ahead in their lives without any fear of achieving their goals are also imaginative and creative.

It was Rogers’s parents who made him fall in love with music. It happened because he grew up seeing his mother sing with her sisters and when his family sang at the church in the choir. Rogers also sang solos with his sister occasionally.
Music was important to Rogers’s family. It served as an outlet for them to get rid of all the daily worries that accumulated after working at the textile mill. A typical day in the life of Rogers would include his father Hershel playing a steel guitar and his mother Elizabeth singing beautiful melodies. The environment in which Rogers was brought up is unique. It certainly was not the best according to worldly standards. Still, his love for music made his life more peaceful, making him happy and satisfied with whatever life gave him. Since Rogers exercised immense determination, he was not only able to hone his talent for music, but he was also able to discover his lifelong passion.

The thing worth noting about James is that he started early to achieve a successful future.
