Trojan Administration Exemplifies You can’t make anything out of anyone. But, through self-determination, there is often no limit to what anyone can make of himself. Tills statement has been quoted so often. Yet, there is none which contains more truth. In high school, it is very difficult to make any student do something he is determined he will not do. This is human nature. No one likes to be forced to do something all the time. It is very important in life for an individual to set his own goals and objectives based on what he wants to accomplish— not what someone else desires him to do. We have to be very careful, or self-determination can have a negative effect on an individual. By being determined to accomplish something because some- one else does not want us to accomplish such is the wrong attitude. We should always try to think positive in our self-determination. We should be determined in our obj ' ectives based on what we desire to accomplish for the betterment of society and mankind, not to deter or alter improvements to mankind. I am often reminded of the “old philosopher’s” connection between self-determination, hard work, and luck. He was reminded by a friend how lucky he always seemed to be. “Yes,” the philosopher replied, “the harder I work, the luckier I become.” f!
