What Makes Archimedes Become Successful

Seeking for success should not be an easy task. Success is not a gift, it would not appear spontaneously unless you work hard on it. To reach the pinnacle of life, people should work hard on it. No one should take success lightly or cheat other’s way to greatness. Every personality who has high achievement has the common qualities which lead them to be successor. The qualities that found from Archimedes are dedication in gaining knowledge, excellent in critical thinking skill, take up the challenge and loyalty. These qualities of life shape him to be a good person.

Archimedes was a dedicated person. He always hunger for knowledge. During the rise of Alexandria, Alexandria became the most important scientific centre of the world. When Archimedes

As I mentioned above, the King Hiero always came to him during the time of difficulty. He always accepted the challenges and cope it perfectly. There was another incident that he once made the statement, “give me a long enough lever and place to stand, I will move the earth”. Yet, this statement became the hottest topic among the nation. The king wanted him to prove the statement. Again, he rose to the challenge. He did the demonstration at the harbour of Syracuse. A huge fully loaded ship which could not be lifted by all men of Syracuse was the target that he needed to lift. According to the story, he lifted the ship with single-handedly by the helping of a large lever. Although he did not invent the lever, he got the concept of it and it became a source for other scientist to continue the invention of lever and

By using the theorem of geometry, he designed screw which would assist in taking out the rain water from the ship. The screw was a machine with a hollow tube and spiral around it and with handle at one end. While another end placed into the hull and by turning the handle to take out the rain water. Although the design of the screw was simple, it has high efficiency. The Archimedes’ screw is still used as a method of irrigation and draining land that underneath the sea.

Furthermore, Archimedes was loyal to himself, his family and his native country, Syracuse. He was loyal to himself. He always did the thing that he admired the most which was mathematics. He spent his entire life to discover the geometry figure, new mathematics theorem. He continued his research although there was absence of a paper. Also, to improve the knowledge, he spent his time to study at Alexandria. Nothing would become the obstacle to indulge in the mathematics field, even death was not a
