Welcome to your page on Determination
A quick way to find out more about a reaching a goal or people who have worked with determination towards a goal is to do an internet search but remember to think critically about which websites you use. For example, the Te Ara website is probably more reliable than Wikipedia. Wikipedia has great coverage of many topics, including the topics below, but you need to be aware that this information is contributed to by lots of different people. If you are using this site, it always pays to check the information against that on other sites or in books from the library.
Using a clustering search engine (such as Carrot2) or a pre-checked search engine (such as SweetSearch) rather than relying on a 'JGI' (Just Google It) approach is a more time effective strategy. You will still need to assess the websites you find for suitability - assess your sites using the CRAP test. :)
