Perseverance Make Me Wrong

It all started in a kitchen at six in the morning with stove on fire and a knife in my hand. Some parents might disapprove of their child playing with knives and fire, but they can’t disapprove if they don’t know about it. I had accidentally lit a pancake on fire my first time ever trying to cook. Little did I know at the time that in two years I would be auditioning for a cooking competition television show. I have never let a failure define me, I would only use it to motivate and prove myself wrong.

The saying "practice makes perfect" is an accurate statement when attempting to becoming successful. Malcolm Gladwell wrote an essay called How to Be a Success, in which he states that in order to be a

Sir Winston Churchill, a British politician from 1800’s says “Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.” Throughout my few years of living, I have learned that everybody is going to fail at something at least once. It is up to you to take all of your failures and turn them into success. It’s not going to only take one day but everyone is destined to be successful.

To me success is accomplishing the goals, doing things the right way, and doing what you love.

Practice can be the key to improving. In every area of education, in every sport, with every musical activity, anything that requires a good performance, those who practice tend to understand the material more. Malcolm Gladwell in his book Outliers states just how important this can be. Going off of the idea that “practice makes perfect”, his entire second chapter is dedicated to persuading his audience to believe 10,000 hours is what it takes to succeed. Examples Gladwell provides include how Mozart didn’t create his greatest works until later in his life after he had gained experience, how the Beatles performed in multiple practice concerts in Hamburg, Germany before becoming musical sensations, and how Bobby Fischer and chess grandmasters

No one is successful in life without opportunity and hard work: ““Practice isn't the thing you do once you're good. It's the thing you do that makes you good” (Gladwell 42). The two coincide and are the keys to triumph. Even if a child is blessed to have a father who plays basketball professionally, the child will never succeed without hours of practice. It is those who seize opportunities that

Success is the act of achieving something, success usually comes following the practice for the desired event. We have all heard that you can only succeed with practice and preparation, which is a true statement; to my knowledge. However, some feel differently towards this statement they either feel that success can come with either natural talent, or pure luck. With this being said, I can understand why some may feel this way, but the truth of the matter is that it's a necessity to practice and practice efficiently in order to succeed.

"Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day-in and day-out." Robert Collier. Success comes from putting in effort everyday to try to be the best that you can be. In the article “What it takes to be great” by Geoffrey Colvin is an article about Mr. Colvin thinks it takes to be successful at something. Success is when someone sets a goal and does anything to achieve that goal. Geoffrey believes that we need to deliberate practice our goal. He also believes that you need to have a new- mind set. I used Colvin steps when it came to school. His steps help me achieve school, and are still helping me throughout the rest of my education.

In order to become successful in life, one must work hard. This means practicing for countless hours, specifically 10,000 hours to become an expert: for instance a piano player to practice everyday for hours to become a perfectionist. Without pain, and determination there is no gain on any field in life.

When I fail trying again makes me better, so failing is part of success to me because I am an athlete and I want to get better rather than keep failing.

To reach success you have to do hard work. You will have to practice in Contents intervals and push yourself

Another turbulent time that taught me through failure was when I tried to arrange a birthday party for my sister. Everything was supposed to be arranged by me, so I went out a bought the invitation cards, party favors, balloons, decorations, food, and a few gifts. I filled out the invitations early and put them in a box to store them until I was ready to send them. Time flew by fast between daily life with my kids and responsibilities, and before I knew it the day of the party was upon me. Quickly that morning I decorated and cooked and prepared everything. As the hour of the party came and went, no one showed up but the birthday girl, whom I had called personally. Later it occurred to me that I hadn’t sent out the invitations! That was why no one had come. I soon learned from that mistake to be more organized and manage my time better when planning events.

There are many moments in an individual's life where they succeed and learn dramatically from their experience. It could be mentally, physically, or lead them to a higher self esteem and self confidence. It could be the littlest success such as making a pancake, but it can have so much impact on a persons self worth. Success can have many different definitions depending on who you ask usually, but at the end of the day, it's usually improving either as an individual or at a certain task.

Success is to fulfil a goal that you have set for yourself. Achievement of success involves five components: realisation, confidence, motivation, action and perseverance. Step one is to realise your goal and how to achieve it. Step two is to have the confidence to take the steps towards your goal. Step three is to find motivation to keep you on the path towards you goal. Step four is action, the first physical step you take in the process for success. Step five is perseverance. On the road to success, you will most definitely come to setbacks and struggles. The only way to conquer those things and achieve your goal is to have strong perseverance. As David Brink said, "A successful person is one who
