The Is An Old Proverb

Having the mind and determination to become successful isn’t an easy task. Success isn’t considered a gift, it should be a hard task to achieve and it matters how it is accomplished. Success

The push to keep training and maintaining the discipline of a Basketball player despite the initial rejection makes Michael Jordan iconic. He knew that the way to the top would not be easy, but he was determined to do all it takes to get there. This shows that no one who truly wants to make a mark should think that life is a bed of roses. There is something to overcome; there are disciplines to maintain if we want to get to great heights. We can overcome obstacles like a genius when we pattern our lives to do the things that geniuses do.

Very few people in the world today have the willpower to over come great obstacles. Eric

“When people find it easy to imagine an event, they overestimate the likelihood that it will actually occur” (Gilbert, 2006, p.19.) Gilbert explains that this causes us to be overoptimistic about our futures and thus changes what we do in order to be happy. Young people imagine traveling the world, starting a successful business or becoming a star. Later on in one’s life they may realize that they do not have the funds to travel the world, the talent to become a star, or even the desire to start their own business. Perhaps they come to the conclusion that they would be happier starting a family or writing a book. Humans have an undeniable want to control. The reason somebody imagines the future is so they can do something about it (Gilbert, 2006, p. 21.) We imagine a future better than today so we can take the actions necessary to get to the better tomorrow. I imagined college being a whole lot better than high school. The freedom and the separation from my parents was something I wanted. So in order to get here I studied hard in high school, strove for a good ACT score, and applied to universities. The actions I took in high school were in order to control the future. Gilbert answers the question of “Why should we want to control our futures?” “It feels good to do so-period. Impact is rewarding. Mattering makes us happy. The act of steering one’s boat down the river of time is a source of pleasure, regardless of one’s port of call” (Gilbert,

Lebron James once said, “Don’t be Afraid to fail this is the way to succeed.” This quote has many reasons he tells us with all his achievements he has failed as well it’s a normal person thing to do. Failing will give us knowledge on what he or she did wrong and that person will have a idea how to fix it and then you can start winning or succeeding in life. Maybe a person can’t find a way to succeed or win by failing maybe that’s just not something they’re good at but on themselves know what they’re good at and take matters into our own hands and fix that. Go pick something yourself loves or good at but if you’re okay with losing than that person is probably not a

Many people try and many people have failed. Everyone hopes to succeed in something, whether it be anything from sports to seminary, school, or just life. Every day there are people who invent things, they try over and over again until it works out. There are many successful people in this world and they didn’t get there easily. Success is something earned not given, and comes with trial and error.

Having the desire to be successful is one thing but without the doing the little things you will never get there. Successful people are committed to doing something every single day. Regardless of what is going on in their lives they work on their craft. They overcome the daily battle between procrastination and motivation. Every day, most people have a list of things they want to do; need to do; or should do; and what they don’t want to do. It’s these daily choices that are influenced by our discipline and

like not being able to recognize failure, which results in the loss of purpose as well as the loss of willingness to improve. By not being able to deal with failure, one’s life can be put to a stop and lead them on a bad path. One must be able to recover from failure and see that failure is only a stepping stone to a better and brighter future. Failure is difficult to recover from and often leads to more failure, but it is not impossible to recover from. With resilience and drive, a person who understands what failure is, is able to conquer it.

People achieve their goals through hard work. Michael Jordan isn't great basketball player because he was born that way. Marissa Mayer, a former Google executive, didn't get to her spot without any effort. When I started playing guitar, I didn't learn the instrument without any work. Instead of luck, it's through dedication, perseverance, and commitment that people succeed.

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

In this video J. Collins talks about the idea of greatness as a conscious choice and discipline. His opinion on greatness being a choice is very important. It is not by chance that Abraham Lincoln became one of the greatest presidents of USA; it is because he chose to be better (Guelzo, 2002). A quick search in Google will yield hundreds of thousands search results for motivational speakers. And in my opinion one thing that unites them all is the idea that disciple will provide the opportunity to choose greatness. As a younger adult I always was deathly mortified of driving big cars, but life had a different plan for me. At around age of 23-24 I was employed by a valet company and part of the duties were to drive big cars. For several months I would ask my coworkers to perform my duties of driving all the big cars that needed valet services. It was not until several month later, when one of my coworkers told me: “Jay get in that truck, take your time, concentrate and drive that truck like you own it” and long behold I did it. This was the pivotal point for a change, since that day I would fight my coworker for the opportunity to drive big trucks. I chose to be not afraid, I chose to be better valet and I chose to challenge my self. It did take many months of practice (without any accidents) until I was comfortable enough to drive a 6-ton truck as easily and efficiently as a 2-ton sports car. In my opinion one is not simply born to be great at something, but instead correct disciplined choices made trough life force greatness to

However, if we choose to give up on ourselves in the middle of the journey just because we have low self-esteem and do not believe that others can support us, we can never be successful. Hence, only the person who endures throughout the journey and believes strongly in hope is qualified enough to be successful.

Perfection is impossible. There is no one in the world who has not failed at least a hundred times. However, the hard part is learning from that failure and growing from it. People tend to bury their failures and try to hide them almost like a time capsule, hidden inside for a long time until someone finds it again. They are afraid of someone finding that time capsule and expecting treasures and spoils, but to be disappointed to only find worthless failures. We view failure as something that is worthless and disappointing and see success as a treasure. We expect something good out of anything we’ve worked so hard for and are returned with disappointment, as we can’t always succeed . We need to learn to realize is that failure is good and allows you to achieve success, if you let it be a learning experience. You need to overcome the fear of failure, persist your way through challenges, and know where you want to be in the end.

Success or failure in life is created by how you think. A mindset that is fixed in stone believing you either have talents and abilities or you don't leads to failure.

“Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into visible” -said Tony Robbins, author and life coach. Everyone has challenges throughout their life, but people have strengths that can lead up to effect their future. We use our goals to keep us motivated and our strengths to help us get past the challenges we face. Our weaknesses fade because our strengths become so strong and we are faced with new challenges. With each challenge we overcome we become stronger and we find more strengths in our challenges. I am a great friend because I always care for my friends and i'm their shoulder to cry on. I'm a very strong-willed person because I don't give up on something I want easily. I’m stubborn because I
