Now I believe that this is an extremely important motto due to the fact that you can use this in every aspect of your life as I stated above. If your mind and body are prepared for any obstacle that is thrown your way there is nothing that can stop you. This hits me strongly because I believe that when you set your mind to a goal in order to better yourself you need to set them out of reach so you continue to grow stronger as an individual.

I believe this is a strong quote because no one becoming successful without the help of others. For examples, Bill Gates wouldn’t become successful if it wasn’t for his parents that puts him in Lakeside school then he would have

“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them…” -Henry David Thoreau. This quote means that you can be a dreamer and have wondrous ambitions but that will all go to waste unless effort is put towards that ambition. I agree with this statement because people can have the most amazing goals but go no where without the required effort.

This quote is found in first part of the book in chapter two. I chose this quote because this relates to me, if I put effort and hard work I can do. Just like if Pi he did not any put effort he would have not become a good swimmer but he did same with me even if it is towards my academics or extracurricular, you still have put the same time and effort no matter what you are doing you can accomplish with right mindset. Also, I know that it is hard work but in the end you will be glad that you put effort and time. When I compete for anything I want to give 100% whatever I am doing.

This quote means that even when you try agin it still may fail, but through failing you become better. A time I have failed, but have failed better was when I was trying to read a book,but I would have to start over because I would not read it for a few days, and forget what would happen in the first half of the book. Now I read when I have down time, but sometimes I

This is a quote that appealed to me the moment I heard it in Biggie's song "Sky's the Limit". This quote provides so much meaning and inspiration in so few words, and is optimal when played along with the songs catchy beat. This quote reminds me that you miss a lot by being timid or shy in life, something that I have found to be very true in my life. By avoiding being timid, I have developed my social skills, and in retrospect, I likely would have less friends if i were a more timid person. Another takeaway from this quote is to only do things you are passionate about and have interest in. This is a meaningful value to have in your life, especially when looking for a job, as its alot easier to work when you love what you're doing. A few

“When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”

"Remember, success is a journey, not a destination. Have faith in your ability. You will do

This is a quote from well-known actor Will Smith that I think about and use to guide my actions on a daily basis. I apply this quote to my life in many different ways. I use this at my job to be the hardest working person on the floor. I may not be the smartest or the quickest, but I will get the job done and it will be done

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.

A young aviator once said,“ The most effective way to do it, is to do it.” What does this mean? This means to not doubt or hold back yourself from opportunities with challenge no matter what. Amelia Earhart, the aviator who said this quote, is one of the most famous aviators of all time. Throughout her life, she was always independent and went against the norm. Because of her strength and courage, she reached goals that she couldn’t do without a gold mindset. Not only did she influence the world, but she changed the ways people thought women should act. She is one of the best role models of American History. ( “Amelia Earhart Quotes.” BrainyQuote, Xplore, www.brainyquote.com/quotes/amelia_earhart_163002).

In my life, I have always tried to live by one of my favorite quotes. I learned this quote In 5th grade. The quote is “I have not failed, I just found ten thousand ways that won’t work” by Thomas Edison. A cheesier version of this quote is “Never give up.” In my life, I find myself always trying to do something even though the moment is gone or there is not enough time left or it is really hard or even when people say I can’t do something. For example, In baseball I would always get hit by a pitch, but that never stopped me from playing. If I forgot to do my homework one day, I would not just say, “Oh well, sucks to be me.” No, I would try to take all the time I can, so I don’t get in trouble. Also, a more recent one, if I did not study for a test, I would not just give up, I would find more ways I could study for the test.

Throughout my life I have faced various challenges that have led me to believe that you always have to try, and make an effort. My parents have always told me, as well as expected me to try my best. I personally think that you can accomplish almost anything if you simply put in a good effort and try to overcome obstacles or challenges in life. I have experienced a lot of doubt and pressure in my life. In order to conquer these struggles I have always had to try hard and put in a solid effort.

Working as an engineer is much different than training to be an engineer, unlike school, there is no typical day. Typically, engineers work in office buildings, laboratories, or industrial plants, but others work outdoors at construction sites, oil exploration and production sites. In outdoor sites, engineers usually monitor, direct operations, or solve on-site problems. Some engineers travel extensively to plants or work-sites in their area and abroad. Having investigated a career in electrical engineering, I have learned some information that I did not know before and made the decision of pursuing a career in electrical engineering based on research and interview answers.

“Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit. You are what you repeatedly do,” which serves as my personal motto as I find myself a very passionate person, always looking for the top. In addition, having experienced different kinds of adversity, I learned the value of not giving up. In fact, instead of giving up, I worked on prospective solutions to which I struggled with. In spite of this merit, striving for success is always a characteristic of mine.
