There are people who are born with those qualities however I think its more refreshing and better earned to have life experiences attribute to having heart, determination and willpower.
With out those 3 traits I would be the slow fat kid in the back. But I just don't ever tell myself to give up or I cant do this. So I pull up ahead.
Heart, determination, and will power are all mental and you have to tell yourself you can do what ever you want :).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
