There are tons of people in our world today who have become very successful and these people find success in different ways. Some people work hard their whole life to achieve success and others just seem to be born talented in

Every American knows about Bill Gates, the richest man in America. His net worth alone: 79.2 billion dollars. He owns a 66,000 square foot house costing at least 123 million dollars (Stone). This is almost every person’s dream: to be successful. But what is it that made Bill Gates so successful? Is it that he is very intelligent and motivated? What did he do differently than everyone else to make him so successful? Many people believe that success comes from being very smart and very ambitious, but that's simply not all. There are many people in the world who are incredibly intelligent and have a drive to be successful who aren't worth anywhere near 79.2 billion dollars. So what makes people successful? All these misconceptions and questions are cleared up and answered in Malcolm Gladwell’s phenomenal book Outliers.

Jack Dempsey, born on June 24, 1895, was given the name William Harrison Dempsey. He was born and partially raised in Manassa, Colorado. Dempsey’s parents, Celia and Hyrum Dempsey, were both originally from west virginia where they were converted to Mormonism and soon after moved to a small Mormon village in southern Colorado. Dempsey was raised Mormon by his mother and consistently followed the Mormon religion throughout his whole life even publicizing

Success comes from self-determination, motivation, and hard work – that was the message I received from reading Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. Gladwell helped me understand that the outliers mentioned in the book didn’t gain their success easily. Some may have had lucky opportunities and where born in the right year, but they had to work hard, they were smart, and out of their achievements, they made an impact on society. Prior to reading Outliers, I was lost among the success of others because I thought these people came from wealthy families, which meant they had a head start, but I was wrong. Success has a different meaning to everyone, but the commonalities of success are the advantages and opportunities given to us.

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.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury, Your Honor, a terrible crime has been committed. Around five months ago, an aeroplane crashed into an abandoned island. This plane was carrying children and the only adults were the pilot and copilot who died on the scene. The children that survived created a society that kept them alive for two months, give or take a few weeks. They established a society where everyone had a place; a society that was ruled by a single chief, which was one of the elder boys. This boy tried to the best of his ability to keep everyone safe and keep peace among all the children. Ladies and Gentlemen, not all of the boys survived, some were killed by their fellow island mates. One of these boys was named Simon. Simon was killed

Preparation is the study of information that is conducive to success. Opportunity is a positive position to succeed that comes from either merit, luck, or a combination of both. Of all of these skills, opportunity is the most fundamental for success. Talent is used to gain an opportunity and preparation is used to be in the best position for success, but without capitalizing on an opportunity, success is impossible. The difference between successful and unsuccessful people is their ability to capitalize on opportunities. Successful people have an innate killer instinct that allows their desire to succeed to overcome their fear of failure. One man, Ponnambalam Muthiah, used these traits to become a noticeable outlier. Muthiah started the supply chain company Manhattan Associates in the early 1990’s. Armed with revolutionary supply chain software, the company began pulling in multi-million dollar revenues culminating in a company worth of 49 million dollars at its 1998 IPO. Muthiah grew up in the impoverished Indian countryside and viewed the United States as a land of endless opportunity. When he immigrated to the United States, he set out to create and capitalize on every chance he could. This attitude is characteristic of many Indian immigrants because Indian society places a premium on work ethic and education. His multimillion dollar mansion on Paper Mill road sits as a testament to the boundless work ethic that was instilled upon him from

Wallechinsky goes on to say, "They will succeed or fail based on their own efforts."(65). This quote also explains the American Dream, and why it is still accessible. If you work hard while you are young and live

Many people want to achieve the American Dream by starting from rags to riches and it is a very difficult journey. You have to make choices that would either be the best or the worst decisions you make. It is all about taking risk and putting all your effort to keep your business running. Some people have made it like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and many more entrepreneurs you see on TV or you see there products in stores. There is some that have a difficult up bringing and turn that into motivation to become successful like Russell Simmons. A successful entrepreneur accomplishes his or her goals which leads to starting somewhere, has stumbles, and becomes wealthy.

Success becomes in different forms, to be able to overcome obstacles that get in your way, just don’t give in, and stop, continue and ask question of what can I do to become the best that I want to be. It is a goal and also inspiration to say the word I have succeed. No one can conquer your dream but you and yourself.” The never ending words of Martin Luther King I have a dream”(Sehgal 2016) and this dream can come true for

There is nothing more impressive in today’s society than an entrepreneur who has made themselves successful. There are innumerous entrepreneurs out there that inherited money to become successful, but that is not even close to as impressive. People want to support the underdog, the man that takes control of his very own destiny- Mark Cuban is just that. Cuban is undoubtedly one of the most famous entrepreneurs of all time. He is witty, different, and simply outspoken. Cuban is a relentless, self-driven man that stops short of nothing. His net worth of 3 billion dollars is enough to show what he has made for himself. The way Cuban has shaped his success makes him a definite entrepreneurship hero.

All animals including human beings ultimately have one goal in life and that is to survive no matter the cost. If multiple humans are stripped from society and placed in an area where there are no rules and government it will lead to evil intents and actions. Humans are highly intelligent and prefer to think rather than act on primitive instincts because society says that is true. All humans contain an evil deep within them that is constantly trying to escape but cannot due to the rules of society. “What comes out of a person is what defiles them. For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly.

In this age in which we live, success is generally measured by the amount of money you earn, or the amount of wealth or power or number of promotions you’ve accumulated. I find that the older I grow, the more I view the people who are most happy and content with their lives as the most successful. Rich, poor or in between, they’ve tended to treat life as a journey, not a final destination. They took that trip when they were 25 even though they really couldn’t afford it, they ordered the $55 bottle of wine with their filet because they knew that even though it was expensive it would enhance the meal so much more than water would. They took a chance on a start-up company, moved to Europe or Asia and experienced things that most people only dream about. If they managed to grow wealthy from the experience, so much the better. As long as moderation with most things is practiced, things won’t spin out of control.

firmly believe in the philosphy that “Where there's a will, there's a way” and hard work is the key to unlock the doors of the success because there is no shortcut and alternative for attaining success.
