Willpower

                   “If you stand for a reason, stand as sturdy as a tree. If you fall to the ground, be like a seeding that is ready to grow and fight again.” If you ever read this quote, the first thing that you might think of is determination, or in other words, willpower. In layman’s term, determination is the act of deciding on or establishing a course of action. According to an Italian novelist and poet, “Willpower is the only tensile strength of one’s own disposition and one cannot increase by a single ounce”. In my own point of view, willpower is the act of working on something to achieve what you want by exerting effort through it and doing all your best.

                        Circumstances and problems will come to our lives. Anybody, rich or poor, old or young will surely be going through these problems. It depends on a person on how he will be handling these problems to come up in a good result. Although there are times you would fall, always stand up and never ever let other people step on you. Just like what Yoon Baek Hee did. She is a student who dreamt of being a successful artist and performer but beside those hardworks were difficulties she had gone through.

                        Yoon Baek Hee is a character from a Korean television series which is Dream High. She was once a timid girl who always stood behind her bestfriend because she thought that between her and her bestfriend, her bestfriend was the superior. She always had been loyal to her bestfriend but her bestfriend did not. In reality, her bestfriend do not care about her but only cares about her own good. From the day she discovered that fact, she changed herself, her appearance, attitude and actions. That was the time when she became more competitive or determined, and in a short time she became a popular student in the campus.

                        But triumph has a twin brother, dilemma. When once she notched to be on the top, there are always things that pills her down. She had haters, and she even experienced being bullied. The bird soaring high up in the sky fell down and lost her balance. That was the time when grater determination came to her. She took hardships as challenges in her life and never let them affect her way of thinking. Yoon Baek Hee came back and took her place and reputation back, but this time, it was much greater than before.

                        I could describe Yoon Baek Hee as sturdy, strong, confident and talented. She never let others affect her life and how she plans on things. Decisions and plans were done with great effort and skills. When once she loses her balance, she would always take her balance back. Struggles and complications were just normal things for her. Love and effort were always present in her works. Intelligence and talent were just two of so many good things and qualities she have, and willpower is the most precious of them all.
