Hello, teachers.

Q.1 Is it OK to say/write "strong heart" instead of "strong mind"?
Is the following sentence understandable?
"You should have a strong heart in order to stick to your goal."

Q.2 Is it OK to change "stick to your goal" in the sentence above into "not to give up your goal"?

Thank you in advance!

1..."strong mind" is better than "strong heart", but it is better to say You have to be determined in order to stick to your goal.

2...You can say ".....not give up your goal." (You cannot put another to between not and give.)
