The meaning of "success" has numerous interpretations, whether it is your own or society's definition. Within Outliers author Malcolm Gladwell explains that being successful has nothing to do with what kind of person you are, so whether you are intelligent and hardworking or lazy and aloof, it depends on your circumstances growing up. Whether your parents happen to be immigrants, you are one of the smartest men in the country or you make a habit of practicing an activity for a certain amount of hours a day, your own personal success, according to Gladwell is defined by the conditions you grew up in; the idea of being successful varies from culture to culture, therefore, there is no definite meaning of success other than one's interpretation.

Success is a relative term. To a wealthy CEO, success is making his business one million in sales that day. To a child living on the streets, eating dinner that day is a success.

Realising that there is more to life than monetary gains, some people just need to appreciate meeting their basic needs. Furthermore, this easy lesson of humility provides the people living in wealth with a sense of how privileged they are.

The internet and the invention of improved technology are growing rapidly. It allowed us to do complex jobs without having to spend as long as we had to by doing it manually. The internet is a vast source, it involves many people working together to create an opportunity for everyone to get easy and fast information without having to pick up a book.

Everyone has their own interpretation of the word success. Individuals might even have their own personal explanation of how they came to be successful. However, these personal explanations are usually incorrect. Malcolm Gladwell, Steve Jobs, and the film, Dead Poets Society have a mutual understanding of success, making them interconnective. Although success can be interpreted in various ways, success is attained through hidden advantages, extraordinary opportunities, and significant intelligence.

Gladwell says that these KIPP schools are really doing an excellent work with the kids. Gladwell states that half of the students are african american and the rest are hispanic, which is a pretty good amount of the students. Knowing that these kids are from low income families, you really get a feel that these kids are really trying to get a good education and maybe they want to get out of where they live at the moment. Gladwell does not state it, but it is implied that the KIPP schools inforce math more than any other subject.

Becoming successful has been the dreams of many people of the past as well as in the future. Anyone can develop into a successful person with the willingness of hard work and dedication. The hard work of one's ability to educate them and move further in life is just that. We as people are in control of our own lives and well-being

In ‘‘ What makes a Genius?’’ by Claudia Kalb and In ‘’How humans are shaping our own evolution?’’ by D.T. Max we can see how both authors explore their research questions in depth by starting with a brief summary about their main topic in order for the reader to get a main idea about what the rest of the essay is about, as the essay continues they develop into critical thinking and analytical inquiry regarding their main questions.

He writes, “people who are smart don’t struggle, they just naturally get it, that’s our folk theory. Whereas in Asian cultures they tend to see struggle more as an opportunity.” In this passage, Alix Spiegel is suggesting that it is the culture that teaches the students how important education is and where it can and cannot get you in life. The smartness of the student does not have a lot to do with how well they do in school. In conclusion, Alix Spiegel’s belief is that cultural differences is what separates students and why some countries are categorized as being smarter or not as smart as other countries.

Someone told me if I am successful, I will be proud in myself. I was success in the education before when I was a little boy. I could remember that moment I was crying and run to my mom’s arms and said “ mom, I can do it ” in that time it was just a little start for a success. You have to make your little challenge first. When you did your goal you will proud in your self. It will be a good start for you, it is a very little step for now but it will be a huge step in the future. See, from the tiny success become to a massive success. To be successful, the first thing to do is to fall in love in your life. Do you know Bill Gate? He was the richest man in the world.

One day I would love to donate to abused animal foundations and sickle cell foundations. My sisters both have sickle cell and they have gone through a lot of pain at a young age and if there is something that can be done to fix it and help them live easier I would love to be able to be a part of a foundation like that. I also would love to make my own foundation to help kids in school that have nothing to look forward to when they return home such as food, clothing and school supplies. Kids are the future and when they are not taken care of it hinders our future because the person that has the cure for all cancer could be inside a kid that doesn’t have motivation and other things to stay in school and make a difference. My family grew up in Haiti where school has to be paid for which is hard for their parents for sometimes which is why I always had a installment that no matter what you do your education can never be taken away from you so for me to help other kids believe this and stay in school for the greater cause it would really make me
