Success, as described by Winston Churchill, is “…going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.” This has taken on greater meaning in our modern day, as the path to success has seemingly become more complex. Is the American dream still valid? I would say yes, considering that we are currently in a recession. The term “American Dream” is used in a number of ways, but really the American Dream is an idea that suggests that all people can succeed through hard work, and that all people have the potential to live happy, successful lives. Many people have expanded or refined the definition of the American Dream. This concept has also been subject to a

Robert C. Meredith website “True Success: What is it” as the name suggests is a website that takes a deeper look into defining success. Similar to theme of Outliers the author not only question success but investigates it. Meredith feels that it is achieved though goals help from family, one’s career and even one’s health. I think this would be appealing to students but also an effective tool to help adolescents understand that there is no distinct way to achieve success. Similar to Gladwell he also compares others lifestyle to help prove the point that success can be achieved in various ways. From visiting the website I would want adolescents to have a deeper understanding of what is success to them means and understand everyone definition

Undoubtedly success can only be defined by the individual. In the video, “What’s Your Definition of Success?”, a man explains that success are the smiles he receives from his wife and child. To me this is the best response because it explains that happiness should be the ultimate goal, and you will be successful no matter the outcome as long as you are happy with how you achieved your goals.

Being a success in life is great because you may have alot of money, people will respect you, and Your life in general will be great but, its not all that easy. There are many challenges that come with being successful, and there is a long hard path to go down if you do want to be successful. Being successful is not something given to you, it is something that is earned. So, what makes a person successful?

Success. What is success? If it to you it means simply,” to achieve the goals one sets out to accomplish,” then you may think similar to my good friend Jonny. Or you could be like my game crazy friend Beebe and define it as,” how many head shots [he] can get in one round.” Either way I guess you would be correct. However, I feel like more and more people are starting to believe the Webster dictionary version “of getting or achieving wealth, respect, or fame.” Not that this is a bad thing but people like my parents generation are starting to think this version of success is college degrees and good paying jobs.

“You do not have to be rich in wealth, you can be rich in happiness, and that is what can make you successful.” It is something my mamaw always would tell me so much, that eventually it was carved into my brain, but it is something I agree with. My definition of success is someone who works hard, loves his family, and has determination to do whatever he puts his mind to. First, my opinion of success is someone giving his best to whatever he does, loving his family unconditionally, and having determination. It is like trying to win a race, someone gives it all they got and if they win they are successful. If he does all of that and tries his hardest, that is all he will need to succeed in life. Second, my Dad is a perfect example of a successful

Have you ever heard the saying, “the harder you work, the more successful you’ll be” or evened listened in on a conversation about what people would do if they ever won the lottery? I have, and it fascinates me hearing the different connotations of what it means to be successful. To be begin with, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, success is defined as “accomplishing an aim or purpose” (Crowther & Hornby 1011). In other words, it’s defined as someone having the ability to not only set a goal, but reach it as well.

"What is the definition of success to someone mean?" The meaning of success to me is family and friends. There are many reasons that why this is a success. Family and friends are a symbol of happiness which will lead to a strong success. Also success could mean to graduate and get a job. There are many definitions to success. This is what success means to me.

Imagine living in a mansion, driving a new car, and having a happy marriage with healthy children, respected status in your community, and an impressive career where you have worked your way to the top. All of these things would no doubt be considered successes in your life. I think that most people would be willing to do nearly anything to be in this position, and would have this be the standard for which they compare themselves. Merriam-Webster.com defines success as “the fact of getting or achieving wealth, respect, or fame”. The big house, the family, and the career absolutely demonstrate the efficacy of this description. However, not everybody views those things as necessary to be successful. Some people have different ideas. Success can

A goal that I was not able to accomplish was getting first place in a body fat competition with my friends. I unfortunately got second place. I was not successful because I did not work hard enough to lose the extra body fat. I lost only lost the competition by a few tenths of a percent. At first I was very upset with myself for losing, but thankfully I got over it very quickly. Today I view this as a learning experience to try harder.

“Run...” she whispered, “we are running out of time.” Her voice was faint. This let the readers know who’s speaking

“Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome”, Booker T. Washington, spoke that success is not measured in the riches and status of a person, but by the hard work and commitment they made to reach their goals while conquering challenges along the way. Washington states a brilliant point, although there are others who would disagree, instead viewing materials as a measurement of success. Since when did success start being acquisitively measured? Modern day society has force fed people- through television, social media, and iconic celebrities- that being successful has all to do with the materialistic items, luxuries, money and fame that a person has. On the

Success is oftentimes viewed as the end product. What I learned while achieving my greatest achievement this past baseball season, is that success is measured by what I did to achieve my great accomplishment. It took hard work that started in the early offseason. My team was heavily motivated to work for our legendary coach, Tom Jenk, who had been diagnosed with brain cancer. It took lots of hard work throughout the season as well, but we were able to do by having such strong team spirit. We finally had the chance we had been working for all year. In the end, we were finally able to call ourselves State Champions. This successful work and spirit throughout the season is what gave me my greatest achievement, winning a baseball state
