I recently read two articles that described two types of people. According to the articles, we have people who are successful in life because they did the right things in life and then there are some people who went down the wrong path in life and the result of that is failure. The decisions that you make in your life is a reflection of who you are in your future. For those people who are leaning toward failure and want to make a change in their life, they can follow some of the things that successful people did so they could move away from failure and head toward success. There are many concepts that successful people followed in their life to be the successful person that they are, but there was three that spoke to me the most which are successful …show more content…
Some things you will complete successfully and then there are other things where the outcome will be failure. Successful people are willing to fail when they are trying something new to them. Willing to fail do not literally mean that you will fail. This concept actually means a successful person will have enough trust in themselves to step into the position where they have accepted the fact that they could possibly fail in order to succeed. Without having enough trust within yourself, you will not know what you’re capable or not capable of achieving. From personal experience I know I have placed myself in many situations where I knew it was a possibility of me failing the first time around. When I put my mind to something I refuse to give up no matter how challenging it may be. I welcome something that is a challenge over something that is too easy. I am challenged the most in my school courses that I am required to take for my major. One class would be Anthropology. When I took Anthropology for the first time I did not know anything about the subject. The first time I took the class I found it very difficult, but yet I did not give up. At the end of the semester I did not pass but when I took the class for the third time at a different school I found it easier. I finally passed the class and was proud of my grade because I knew that I earned the grade. I wasn’t happy that I had to repeat the class multiple times, but I am proud of my …show more content…
Successful people avoid excuses because regardless of the outcome they know an excuse will not change it. Instead of making an excuse, a successful person will take it as an opportunity to learn instead of an obstacle in their life. They know that even a justified excuse will not make a difference. On the other hand, an unsuccessful person will find every excuse possible so they don’t have to put the blame on themselves. They believe that if the excuse is justified, then it is ok to use it and it will make a difference. They don’t realize that no matter what the excuse is the outcome will remain the same and they will continue to remain at the same place in their lives instead of moving forward. I have an uncle who I could relate this concept to. Instead of being successful in life, he is unsuccessful in his life because he makes an excuse for everything. He always says that he is depressed because he don’t have any money, but yet he don’t try to find a job. He is one of them people who expect a job to come to him instead of him trying to look for work. The excuse that is used is that nobody wants to hire him; therefore, he blames the jobs because him not having money. If you put in the effort and is willing to do
Generally speaking, success isn’t just about what you accomplish in life, it’s how you accomplished it and the impact you
We were not born with the ability to do everything and we must allow ourselves to take our lessons as we go and learn from them. In my life there are many things that I have learned, whether it be from the trial and error of working on vehicles to me submitting an uncited English paper. We are taught from the moment we are born what failure is, we are asked to do things as simple as to say a word and we are told that is not correct. Even though that example is in the context of teaching, we still are being taught what it feels like to be told we are doing something wrong. Failure is something that we become so familiar with it becomes a natural view, seeing someone attempt to throw paper in the trash and they miss; fail or a failure as big as Chernobyl and everything in between, we are immediately taught to look down on what falls into the category of
Introduction- In order to succeed in life, you have to be open to trying new experiences, even if you know you might fail. If you do fail, you have to persevere and try again if you want to reach your goal. To become better than you are, you must be exposed to new ideas and moments of failure and doubt.
In conclusion one comes successful when he beliefs in himself and takes his own journey. Not falling into the norm as everyone else because life is easy when you are told what to do and do not take any chances in it. It is not until when you take some chances that you actually live, until then you are dead as the ones that lye below the surface being nothing more then food for the worms.
In the essay "The right to fail" by William Zinsser he says “ Don't be afraid to fail!” (Zinsser 81-83) failure isn't fatal.Countless people have had a bout with it and come out stronger as a result." Failure can be used as a tool of success because you can learn from your mistakes. Willam defines success differently than the average norm. He believes the younger generation are starting to define there own meaning of success. The dropouts and the hippies just don't buy the old standard of success and neither do I. I think that within your mistakes there is always a chance to get better. In my life there's been times I have messed up but I learned from it like when I came in dead last in a 100 meter dash. I was devastated and quite embarrassed but I didn't let it knock me down and I trained much harder and guess what? I came in second next race. No not first, but I'll get there because my failure became my
Most of the time I step up to the plate, I fail. It is tolerable if I fail; it is human nature. But when I go up to the plate and do everything right, I succeed. All my dedication, practice and determination pays off when I finally succeed and then it feels amazing! All the hard work comes down to finally being able to accomplish something after you’ve failed and failed again. The ability to be able to focus on a goal and accomplish that goal is what you need to succeed at many things in life.
Success and failure seem to be pretty distinct opposites, but many times the differences between success and failure aren’t as obvious as we may think them to be. Sometimes a failure can be turned into a success if you are willing to look back at them, and are open to learning from them. Many times, one’s attitude toward a failure can determine whether or not anything is learned from it. Those who remain upbeat and positive after a failure may be able to get something out of it, but those who just don’t think about it and ignore it won’t get anything from it.
There is no doubt in my mind that one cannot succeed without failing, people view failure as a halt in progress but i disagree completely. Failure just brings you closer to the goal you are trying to achieve. People often think about how they could have prevented their mistakes and often ask themselves, “What could I have done differently?” Sometimes it’s not worth finding out.
My philosophy of success, is me growing into the person I want to become and being comfortable with the choices I decide to make in life. Success is not something I can achieve overnight, it’s something I must plan for then proceed to working hard for it as well. Without hard work, there isn’t anything successful about the job I want to get done or the job I wish to get done. Doing anything without hard work and dedication, and expecting the best outcome is not success; it’s mediocrity. Being mediocre/ will only allow me or anyone else to have a ‘Victim’s Mindset.’
Everyone wants to be successful, and we all have different visions of success. For me success is to have a goal, plan the steps to achieve the goal, follow the plan, and finally achieve the goal. I will be successful when get my degree and find a job in a psychology field. To be able to achieve my goal I have to have a plan and strategies and I have to follow them. There are different strategies that people can follow to achieve their goals depends on the goals they have. There are some strategies that I think I need to follow to be able to achieve my goal.
Failure can cause a torrent of mixed emotions and thoughts. One can begin to doubt their motives for even attempting to succeed at a certain task. Some people may choose to give up after failure, but there are a select few who rise up to the occasion and move forward to try and succeed no matter how many tries it takes. By overcoming those difficult moments in life, it gives a person a sense of accomplishment and pride and that alone is a beautiful thing.
The true definition of success is the accomplishment of an aim or purpose. Although, many people have different perceptions of success. Success is judged by the individuals themselves. Success can be defined in many ways including: wealth, happiness, fame, etc. Success can be anything from material goods to concepts. It all depends on your concept and how you achieve your goals. You have to have persistence within yourself. Varying on your profession, you will need a certain skill level. Your definition of success can be suitable best for you, but not for others. It is about truly not giving up, reaching your full potential, and self-fulfillment.
People usually afraid of failure because they tried to do something and failed, or took a risk and it didn’t pay off, or made a decision and it turned out to be the wrong one. That fear of failure create the stress and anxiety when people want to do something hard or try something new. Just because you tried something two or three time and failing does not mean the entire idea is a mistake. Do you expect to get a Blackjack on every game that you played? That would be an impossible thing to do. There is no success that comes without failure, where failure is experiences and lessons that help you to perfect your works. People should overcome their fear of failure and use failure as a tool to work toward their success because failing is so important
Success is something we all wish to achieve and even though we have different definitions of success, we all want to success in different aspects of our lives. For some success, success is attaining an education, others it's getting a good job, for others it's being wealthy, and others to start and own a business while for others it's having a family of our own and seeing our children prosper. We all have different metrics of measuring success and we all have different goals, but it is part of human instinct to want success, to want to succeed in everything we do no matter how small or big. Success gives us a feeling of development and growth, a sense of gratification that we are no longer where we used to be, but rather
People are not always successful in their lives, including the talent and rich people. Many people fear to fail, because they are fearing that other people know that they are not smart or talent. When a person is successful, nobody will notice their effort, but when they fail, many people will remember that. Throughout history many great inventions were created base on many time of failure. Nobody in this world can invented something for the first time without being failed. An example for it is Wright brothers, who created airplanes, they were failed many time before they were successful make a heavy mental machine fly up to the
