As i have said, hope is somewhat passive and takes no action to qualify itself. Determination on the other hand is nonsensical without action, thus these two forms exhibit very different properties (as I have tried to show) and are not necessarily related. The source of determination is self-will and self-drive not necessarily an ephemeral (our of your hands/passive) hope. (again, just my opinion)
