Commitment

Commitment

The act of committing oneself to the task at hand, to a cause. 

The ancient Greeks were notorious for burning their ships when they arrived to conquer a new land.  They were committed to victory, so much so that they removed their only means of escape.  It was victory or death!  That's hard core!  Cortes also burned his ships in 1519 when he landed in Mexico.  Again, victory or death!

staying motivated and he gave four keys to success.  I wrote them down
on a notecard that I still have to this day.  Here are his keys to
success:

@ChiefWordsmith Yeah, that might be tough. I think it will be winding down pretty well by then. Bummer!
