Importance Of Success In Life : My Journey To Success

To many high school students, college seems like a far away land, a mysterious place where everyone wants to be yet not many know how to get there. As children, our parents tell us how much time we have to think about college, and that it is too far down the line to think about. The truth is it is never too early to think about your future. I, like many people, put little thought into my future career and now am lost in an unfortunate mix of indecision and anxiety. Not knowing where you want to be in the future is a hard burden to bear. Many of us tend to find out that we only know what we do not want, not what we actually do want. Do we want to be poor? Absolutely not. Do we want a boring job? Of course we don’t. We all want our

Success can mean different things to different people. The definition of success can change for a person at different stages of their life. A person's culture, family, friends, experiences, and environment can be a big influence on defining what success is to that individual. We all hear the stories of people failing and failing until one day they make it to the top, beat the bad guy or pass the trial. The story can also go that they got all they desired or raised up from the ashes. All of these have one thing in common, it is at the end of the story. It's never the beginning or middle. It's always at the end of the story that the person succeeds in their quest. But why does it have to be at the end? Simply, like how there is no good without evil. You can not have succeed without struggling and failing first.

Many have experienced an encounter as a young child where they are asked what they want to be when they grow up. Answering that question may be easy as a kid because your mind is filled with thoughts of being the unimaginable. As you grow much older, those ideas begin to depart from the mind and you are suddenly more aware of what is and what is not possible in this world. When beginning the most important years of high school, you stop and rethink your career choice numerous times, stressing on who and what you want to be. Many adults such as teachers, counselors, and parents will emphasize the importance of knowing where you want to be in the future during high school, sometimes even middle school. It became imperative that one chose their

All throughout school, students are ask what we want to be when we grow up. Many of us know or have a pretty good idea, but others have no clue what they want to pursue as a career in life, whether it be furthering their education at a university or attending a technical school. There are other students that plan to start work right out of high school. Either way we all have a plan, and the purpose of this paper is to inform you of mine. I personally struggle in making big decisions like deciding what to do with my life, but then I realized I have been asking myself the wrong questions. Instead of asking what I want to be when I grow up, I asked myself what do I want out of life? what are some of my goals that I wish to achieve? This led

     As we begin to grow up and come to the end of our high school career we must start to begin to start thinking about what type of career we want to be in.     It is very important that a person picks the right type of career for them. Otherwise you will be unhappy with what you are doing and will not enjoy it at all. I am not entirely sure what I want my career to be but I have a pretty good idea as to what type of job it will be. I would like to go into the field of a physical therapist and sports medicine, I fell I will enjoy this more than any other type of career just because I already have a lot of interest in it.

As a student who is not nearly at the precipice of adulthood, it is very challenging to lay down future plans that eventually, will dictate a crucial segment of your life. I, for one, not only speak for myself but for other students as well. Students like myself are quite dilatory when it comes to adhering to a respective future plan. Until the summer before my senior year, I was utterly indecisive about what career to pursue in college. During that

As I started my junior year in high school, I heard my peers discuss their future goals. One wanted to be a physician, another wanted to be an aerospace engineer, and another wanted to work with the FBI. At the time, I was conflicted about choosing a future career. I have considered many career options, ranging from an accountant to a health nutritionist. My parents were not proud of the options that I picked, however. They wanted me to become a doctor or choose another occupation that is famed, like my peers’ chosen careers. Believing that my career options were not as “prestigious,” I started to get discouraged.

Why do so many people drop out of college? There is no single answer, however in my opinion not having the right tools and mindset to stay “On Course” can be a big cause of people dropping out of college .There are many things one needs to do to stay “On Course”. In this essay, I will write about some of the most important things one needs to do in order to stay “On Course”. I recently finished reading Pathway to Success by Skip Downing. In this book Mr. Downing provides tools to college students to help them stay “On Course” and succeed in college and in life. Some of the most important advice Mr. Downing provides is that in order to succeed in college and in life one must have a Creator mindset, accept personal responsibility, master

When people talked about the leaders of some famous companies, they firmly believed that these leaders leadership talent is born. In the book “Mindset: The New Psychology of Success”, Carol S. Dweck discussed the fix mindset and growth mindset how to affect themes such as sports, business, relationships, and parents. Leaders with fixed mindset feel that they are superman or a genius, consider that employee who has more ability be more useful than the person who work hard and want to grow. Also, they also believe their company will not be defeated and replace. On the other side, leaders with a growth mindset preferred many people can become an excellent leader by hard-working and learn how to select people: for their mindset, not their pedigrees. Although both mindsets can make a leader successful, the growth mindset person gained more success in business, since they have true self-confidence and think they are not excellent but try their best to learn, credit and nurture. They also know how to use feedback to strengthen their leadership and arrange the company 's employees appropriately. In the teamwork, they will work to solve the problem with staff quickly. They notice their improvement in their employees on the management side and also believe themselves can be educated in negotiation abilities.

“When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it” (Henry Ford). So many times, we are too busy worrying about our problems instead of being grateful of what we achieved. I have struggled all my life but I’m thankful of the journey. It’s easy to compare ourselves to someone who has achieved success in our eyes and put ourselves down. We must change our standpoint and remember where the journey started. Nobody “made it” in one day, success takes hard work, dedication, and perseverance. To be successful, we need an education and the right people guiding us.

Picking a career can be very difficult and overwhelming. Many adolescents have that problem after graduating High School. How do you know what you want to do for a living for the rest of your life? Many students go to college picking a career that they think fits them , and end up graduating with another major. I believe that you have to be happy with what your going to major in. If your not truly happy with the career your going for your going to have a miserable life. The problem is many people pick a career that is going

In my senior year of high school, I had a difficult time choosing a career path. There were numerous options I had, but found myself putting limitations on my ideas. Throughout this time, many of my peers had known exactly what they wanted to do and where they were going to attend college.

Throughout my entire high school life I have always chosen different career choices. At a time I wanted to be a lawyer, physical therapist, pharmacist, and an athletic trainer. I didn’t choose any of them either because it too many years in school to complete or centered on a subject that wasn’t my strong suit. I chose to major in Business Administration with a concentration in finances because I always imaged myself in an office setting holding a high position especially as a young women.

Success is the reason why we wake up in the morning, it is the reason we want to work towards our goals everyday. Most people don’t know what success means to themselves because there is no definition of success. Only you know what is important to yourself. Values change and so do your goals meaning that the meaning of success changes every day. Success is measured in many ways. By staying motivated and focused, it helps us feel some type of drive to reach our idea of success. The feeling of excitement helps us constantly feel like we are becoming more and more successful because we are getting positively reinforced by our work which keeps us working towards our goals. This causes habit to always do the best we can to our abilities to be the

I’ve just entered my senior year of high school. I know that this is a very important year. I have a lot of decisions to make and not much time to make them. These decisions will either make or break my life, and I want to make sure that I make them to the best of my ability because there is no turning back. I need to make sure I definitely want to attend college. The decision is totally up to me. There are many positives and negatives of attending college. Go over them, and then decide. I know myself better then anyone else, and I won’t let anyone else tell me what to do. I will make sure if I am going to attend college that I have something in mind that I will want to do, to succeed in. Choosing a major can be a
