Persuasive Essay About My Dream

A passion is something that makes you drive forward in life, but not something you want or that you are trying to get. In the novel The Contender by Robert Lipsyte, there is a high school dropout who does not know what he is going to do with his life while everyone around him is either reaching their goals or slowly dying. In The Contender people without a passion seem to die off and it is the same about people with bad passions. The high school dropout, Alfred is very lost and does not know what to do in life. Alfred’s best friend James is also a dropout and later on in the book a drug addict. Major, a drug dealer tries to pull down Alfred, his only passion is drugs and money. In the context of The Contender people with a

Passion is a word used to describe an uncontrollable desire to improve or succeed. People develop a passion for many different things and reasons, some use passion to drive them towards success in a sport or activity, others use passion to be successful in raising children or performing well in their career. My passion is to become a successful bowler. Even though I did not start bowling until I was eighteen years old, it was apparent that I had a certain feel for the way the lanes worked. I was able to become the best on my high school team with only using a straight even though the rest of the team used balls that hooked and were proven to produce higher scores. After I graduated high school I took a year off from school to work. During that

What is passion? Passion is a strong and barely controllable emotion. Passion is the powerful feeling of enthusiasm we all have inside us.

A dream is a number of thoughts, sensations, and pictures people see in their minds while they sleep. Generally there are two kinds of dream; good dreams and bad dreams also known as nightmares. For the past year, about every three to four months I have a reoccurring nightmare; after having this dream many times, I think it shows an underlying insecurity/fear that I have and need to conquer and/or deal with.

What is Passion? Passion is “an intense desire or enthusiasm for something” (Oxford English Dictionary). This implies that passion motivates you in do something (such as activities) that you will enjoy and feel confidence about it. For instance, in “The Mother of All Questions”, by Rebecca Solnit, she says “I set out to write books, to be surrounded by generous, brilliant people, and to have great adventures” (6). Solnit is trying to show that passion is love for what you do. Consequently, each individual has its own view of passion -- that include Rebecca Solnit’s essay “The Mother of all Questions”, Malcolm Gladwell’s, Outliers, an interviewee and myself. In this essay we will look to find how passion plays in our thoughts about work.

Passion one might say is to have enthusiasm, love, and maybe even be obsessed. Although, I say it is the key to become successful. Growing up, everyone is finding something that they love to do. This something I have found, it the game of golf. I have created a passion for this game and spend many hours on a golf course.

Passion is necessary to excel. Once someone loses desire or motivation for something it becomes quite difficult to continue doing well in that field. I went through a crisis of lost motivation in my first two years of high school.

In my personal experience, when I was little I always told my mom that I wanted to be a veterinarian or a chef. When I grew up I started to lose interest on being a veterinarian and started to gain more interest on becoming a chef. I wanted to learn how to work with food and make great food, so that I make people happy. It's been hard to keep my passion alive with all my homework, outside of school activities, and family issues, but despite all the difficulties and the struggles that will be on your way you have to keep that passion alive. In order to preserve, protect, and grow one’s passion, an individual must be able to be enthusiastic about/in your passion, be curious and explore new ways to make your passion more interesting, and like that passion even if the people around you don’t like it.

The speech “I Have a Dream” was delivered by Martin Luther King on the occasion of the centenary celebrations of Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation on 28th August 1963. The speech was dramatically delivered on the steps of Lincoln Memorial and it was witnessed by about two million people. This speech is often considered to be one of the greatest and notable speeches in history and the top American speech of the 20th century.

I am sure you will agree when I say, Passion drives our actions. Someone said, “Passion is energy. The more passionate you are about yourself, your work, your life, or whatever it is you are doing…the more positive energy you give off. True happiness comes when you do what you are most passionate about. Passion shapes our existence, fuels the fires of inspiration and opens us up to opportunities and changes around us. Passion is enthusiasm and excitement for life.

     People who decide to pursue their dreams know that they either have something good or bad coming. But it is usually good, because your dream is something that most likely you have thought of doing. Whether it is good or bad, a dream is a dream. All it depends on is if you want to pursue it. An example of someone who pursued a dream is?me. Going to college was a dream of mine which I pursued long and hard in my life, not only because it is the right thing to do, but because I would be the first in my family to go to college and get an education. Although the odds were against me, I tried hard and never gave up. Then I got to a point that I wanted to give up and I believed that I would never get to college, and that no one would accept me. Although I had average grades, I was in a point that I though that everything would go downhill. It was a good that I had some inspiration or else I wouldn?t be where I am now. I was raised never to give up and always try your best, because opportunities will come your way. Believing in myself I knew I can accomplish my dream and go to college. Now if someone asks me if I go to college, I just show them my Baruch identification card with pride. And I had my parents to help me throughout my years of growing up. I never deferred my dream, although I was close to. But I never

On August 28, 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered one of the most intensely worded speeches ever to be given, “I Have a Dream.” This speech not only touched the hearts of many in his time, but has also shaped a lasting impact on each and everyone today. While we may have come a long way as a nation since Dr. King’s speech, we are certainly far from being the ideal nation he had envisioned. Political battles, wrongful accusations, and racism are still prevalent in today’s society.

Passion is defined as a strong and barely controllable emotion. Every individual is born with some form of this. For me, I always considered myself a very passionate person. It was not until reading Chapter 12: Passion in John C. Maxwell’s book The 21 Indispensable Qualities of A Leader did it occur to me that having great passion does not directly correlate to being a great leader. With passion comes a sense of pride. Truly great leaders are the individuals who have both qualities; however, they know when to not let their self pride outweigh their passion. When a leader has great passion for doing something, nothing can stop him or her from achieving their goals. To me it is the driving force behind us all, no matter what the exterior circumstances may be. John Schnatter, founder of Papa John’s (pizza), was laughed at and even discouraged

Nine hundred and thirty-seven. That is the number of people assaulted and killed by law enforcement officers, this year alone. Our government is implementing laws and regulations that punish minorities and those without money so they cannot afford to live comfortably in our society. Citizens are being refused the right to serve in our nation’s military strictly because of the fact that they don’t conform to an archaic idea of a two-gender system. We are witnessing the Great Divide. American citizens are disunited based on issues of identity. With this divide, inequality has become an increasing issue, but strong individuals are unifying to fight for racial and gender equality. Many concerned individuals are fighting for equal opportunity in American society because our divided country allows some people to advance while others are held back.
