What Seprates A Desperate Person From A Determined Person?

I was watching a video on YouTube yesterday about a popular Nigerian Musician and how desperate he was for fame and hits, got me asking what’s actually the difference between a desperate person and a determined person? According to my understanding, desperate is the act of extreme determination to achieve something with all cause no matter the consequences, the end goal is focused on the achievement and the process doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter how they achieve it, they want to end up achieving it no matter what? A desperate person acts from a point of urgency, they want it so bad, they don’t care if they hurt anyone or themselves, create a way and they will follow that path, either good or bad.

A determined person is willing to achieve the same thing a desperate person wants to achieve but with lesser urgency, they are willing to be patient and more logical, they are not willing to jeopardize their safety or the safety of others to achieve their end goal. A determined person learns from their mistakes, every time they fail, they don’t feel hopeless, instead they find a reason to move on. But a desperate person act like they have little or no hope left so they have to take all measures to achieve their end goal.

This is what separates you from the crypto scammers, you and the crypto scammers have the same end goals which is attaining financial freedom, but a scammer is desperate enough to scam for it, while you are determined enough not to scam for it.
