Hard Work Pays Off

It is said that “Time and Tide waits for none”. As an upcoming college freshman I need to understand the value of time to succeed in life. I have to understand that everything needs to be prioritized no matter the case. That being able to manage my time correctly will teach me discipline which is exactly what I need to get through college with the goals I have set for myself. Individuals who stick to a time plan are more likely the people who realize their goals and objectives within the shortest possible time span. This will help me get my work done before the deadline instead of working on it the night before.

There are many different understandings of what success is. Some relate success to money, others relate success to happiness, but it all depends on the type of person.

A lot of the problem is that they don’t practice. A person has to practice and work hard to get to a success level they want to be at.

The meaning of "success" has numerous interpretations, whether it is your own or society's definition. Within Outliers author Malcolm Gladwell explains that being successful has nothing to do with what kind of person you are, so whether you are intelligent and hardworking or lazy and aloof, it depends on your circumstances growing up. Whether your parents happen to be immigrants, you are one of the smartest men in the country or you make a habit of practicing an activity for a certain amount of hours a day, your own personal success, according to Gladwell is defined by the conditions you grew up in; the idea of being successful varies from culture to culture, therefore, there is no definite meaning of success other than one's interpretation.

Being successful in life is not always easy, because of different ways that success can be achieved. With many theories out there on success, it is hard to figure out what is needed to be done to gain success. In everyone’s lives there are many different beliefs out there that can lead to it. In the book “Outliers” by Malcolm Gladwell, there are numerous theories that are covered with examples of successful people. They clearly show how success can be done in not just one way but in many others. The most known people that are considered to be successful are billionaires and celebrities. They all have gained success in their lives in their own diverse ways. A good set of successful people in the world today to talk about are Mark Zuckerberg, Whitney Houston, and Nicholas Sparks. These people all come from different backgrounds before gaining their success. Malcolm Gladwell discussed many theories in the book “Outliers” that can relate to the success of the people mentioned above. The true knowledge behind success can be achieved in numerous ways.

Success, the act of accomplishing a goal, the attainment of wealth, achieving a recognized position in life, many definitions however, who is willing to try hard enough to achieve success? Maybe the larger question is, is success attainable for everyone? Many would answer “no it’s not possible for everyone to be successful”. Well I beg to differ , if a young African American kid from a tough part of Hampton Virginia can grow to become one of the most respected athletes to ever play in the NBA, why not you.

Only a few percentage of people in our lives achieve success. Most of the people believe that success implies wealth and wealth implies success. In reality, neither of those things are true. Although money directly correlates with financial success, achieving true success in life and becoming rich are two different things. A man can be poor and

People have different interpretations of what success may mean to them. In the article, “Leave No Child Behind” by Marian Wright Edelman, the author explains many lessons on the steps to become successful. According to some, success is measured by social status and wealth. I agree with Edelman’s lessons that there is no free lunch, we should not be afraid of taking risks or being criticized, and we should never think that life is not worth living. I agree that there is no such thing as free lunch.

I think that you must have the right drive and focus to achieve what you want. Success is not about money, but rather success in the eyes of the beholder. It does not matter what you view as successful though, because you will not be successful without the necessary drive and persistence. Many many people give up on their dreams because they do not possess they key characteristics, and they oftentimes do not truly believe that they are living a successful life. Money is also a key factor, and it certainly helps most people with their dreams, but I think that if you set realistic goals for yourself, you can move up in your social/economic class, and lead a successful life for yourself and your

Becoming successful has been the dreams of many people of the past as well as in the future. Anyone can develop into a successful person with the willingness of hard work and dedication. The hard work of one's ability to educate them and move further in life is just that. We as people are in control of our own lives and well-being

In America success is determined by the way one carries and present themselves to the society we live in. Success is solely determined by that individual's mind set and how dedicated they are in achieving their success. In reality anything is possible, if one is willing to achieve it and there is an immense amount of opportunities that can help reach that person to success, simply put there are no excuses.

I have poor attitudes towards managing time, such as managing time to study. Developing effective study habits is important as they will help me to use my study time more productively and will also help to handle stress. Therefore, learning some effective memory techniques, developing a good support network and working with other class members will enhance our study habits (Anthony, 2012). So it is important for me to make an action plan about time

How I manage time is a reflection of what I value. Managing my time corresponds to how successful I will be in college and throughout life. Knowing and setting priorities to meet goals, carrying out plans, taking control of time, and staying focused are some events that are involved with time management. For many of us, balancing school with work and family is the greatest challenge involved with prioritizing. Good advance planning will help in meeting these challenges.

A person needs to achieve certain goals in one's life before you can call them successful. Success is to achieve goals, you have set. I have set certain goals I would like to achieve in my lifetime. Some of these goals are personal while others are professional. My professional goals in life are to find a good job that makes me happy, get a good education, find a job that makes enough money for me to support my family, and help people.
