Determination with Englisi Farsi
Mona Kiani bilingual books childrensbooks determination ebooks english englisifarsi farsi finglish finglisi ibooks newrelease persian pinglish virtues
DETERMINATION is when you put all your efforts into finishing something, and continue even when it’s difficult. It’s sticking with a task until you are done. When you are determined, you keep going, even when something is hard, until you have reached your goal. We practice determination when we continue cleaning up our toys, even when we get distracted (for example by TV or other toys). https://virtuesinthevillage.wordpress.com/category/determination/ What accomplishments wouldn't you have achieved without this awesome virtue!
