The term conquer is a powerful word. It has multiple meanings for many people. What does it mean to you? Conquer to me means that a person uses efficiency, courage, and power quite well. In order to become successful in life, you will have to conquer. Success does not come easily. A person will have to use his full potential to achieve his goal. I grew up in the city of Memphis, Tennessee where many young adults around my age are afraid to use their full potential. When a person does not use their full potential, he could forfeit opportunities towards him. For example, a boy is studying hard for his upcoming test. He becomes familiar with all of the information that he needs to know for the test; Although, he did not try his very best
Genghis Khan, a man who conquered and ruled the largest continuous empire in history of mankind, was once told “Conquering the world on horseback is easy; it is dismounting and governing that is hard.” Many kings and warriors were able to conquer vast lands in history but only a few were able to hold that power for a long period of times. The ones who implemented successful strategies in order to expand, consolidate and administer their rule over land were the most successful in holding power.
The Mongols did their best and created techniques to conquer locations with their most successful leaders. The mongols conquered most of Asia by various and different conquerors. They conquered Russia, Persia, Central Asia, and China. Genghis Khan was the most successful conqueror overall of different times, empires, and regions. Genghis Khan who reigned from 1206-1227 conquered
Most of us have similar opinion about the term of success. Malcolm Gladwell, the author of Outlier, have different assumption than most us, such as the link to success, what people overvalue, and what we undervalue. First, what links to success? There are many circumstance that effect you chance to success. To begin with, talent is one of the conditions that leads you to the success. For example, having better trait compare to other individual will make yourself outstanding, so you have the better chance being hire. Additionally, without effort, you chance become success for will likely to decrease. For instance, even if you were born talented, without the effort, you will not be able to make use of it.

I feel that in order to achieve personal success in our society you need 3 key things. For one, you need to have determination. In our culture, we seem to have a universal ideology along the lines of “keep going, and you will succeed eventually.” I feel that these idea’s are incredibly true, and have been shown to be effective every time. A good example of this trait in one of the texts we read is in the Odyssey when Odysseus needed to get back home, and despite the odds being against him, he never gave up. He always kept going, and when the going got rough, he got back right up and started over again. Another trait is intelligence. Because we have gone away from warrior culture in modern times, academic success is more than mandatory to achieve
When you succeed you need to faliure and successful person will tell you that they had failed, but those failures are what made them successful.People with success can lead to other success,this is shown with many people around the world in many different industries.This is mainly shown by the music industries,like other artist shout out or make song with unknown or not well know artist.They had overcome many obstacles an example is school,family problems,and negatively of review of loves ones and friends.One example of this is shown filmmaker Cole bennett’s,his failure can be instructive by teaching or helping others to become more successful than even him.
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 your personality, so whether you are intelligent and hardworking or lazy and aloof, it depends on your circumstances growing up. Whether your parents are immigrants, you are the smartest man alive or have a habit of rigorous practice, your own personal success differs. However, Gladwell says that the conditions you grow up in affects your success. The idea of being successful varies from culture to culture. Therefore, there’s no definite meaning of success other than one’s interpretation.
Another area many people tend to aim to be successful in is the concept of the American Dream. It is thought that if you live in America you need to fulfill the goal of achieving the American Dream and if it is not achieved or not meant to be achieved then the life lived has been a failure. Older generations and even present generations want the younger generations to get good grades, have a ‘successful’ college life, get a professional job, get married, have kids, and buy a big, just because that is normal to everyone but some may choose to live their life not as vanilla. William Zinsser talks about how everyone just follows the social norm in order to be seen as successful, “Our advertisements and TV commercials are a hymn to material success, our magazines articles a toast to people who made it to the top... He is our national idol, and everybody else is our national fink” (Zinsser 601). Becoming a specific type of successful is being pushed onto teenagers who are still struggling to find out who they are and what they want to do. They may want to figure out a different way to become successful in their own independent way.
To begin with, success does not necessarily mean having the best home in a city, or owning the car of the year. Everyone’s view of success can be very divergent. It can all depend on where a person stands, or what their past was like. For example, there can be students who might be the first in their families to attend college and getting a college degree can easily turn into their American Dream, it may even be their parents’ dream as well. In addition, the view of Individual opportunity for an undocumented homeless man may differ from the views of an American with a college degree. Owning a home, having
Wallechinsky goes on to say, "They will succeed or fail based on their own efforts."(65). This quote also explains the American Dream, and why it is still accessible. If you work hard while you are young and live
The film The Other Conquest is a drama about the aftermath of the 1520’s Spanish Conquest of Mexico told from the perspective of the indigenous Aztec people. It explores social, religious, and psychological changes that brought the historical process of colonization that both defined the South American continent and highly reminds us of today’s neocolonialism.
A dictionary will say they mean the same thing considering they are synonyms. The meanings lie much deeper than what is found on the basic definition. Today’s society will rarely use these terms to describe countries being overtaken and such. “Conquer” and “Vanquish” will appear more in video games to describe game types. Surprisingly they do quite well to use “Conquer” and “Vanquish” in the correct settings.
Everyone can be successful in life but it requires some responsibilities. Success doesn’t happen right away, so it takes time and patience’s for things to fall into place. To have a successful life you must work hard to get where you want to be, it can’t just be handed to you for free. One thing is to never give up on your goals or dreams you want to achieve. When you accomplish great things in life it feels great. A successful student needs to use self-discipline and making wise decisions.
The conquest of the West had happened by the early 1900’s but by this time the indigenous populations living west had been disappearing. In the last three decades there has been a vast amount of settlers venturing into the lands across the Mississippi River. With the end of the Civil War in 1985, the white Americans claimed land and expanded across the continent. They destroyed the culture of the Native Americans and ignored all races along the way such as the Chinese miners and the laborers and the Mexican herdsmen.
