My Art of Life
I, ERIC MANGRAM believe that the Art of Life is winning isn`t everything, but wanting to win is by Vince Lombardi. It is this way because you should always see yourself being successful in careers that you want to be the best you can be in. Hence it is motive to go by in order to have better things in your life such as housing, automobiles, and education. Therefore it is the best aphorism to go by due to its meaning which tells the one reading it that by using this aphorism you can better develop your life as a person. These are five factors that I think that define laws of life that define people such as myself to reach their highest level of success.
Being a risk-taker, you have to sacrifice certain things in order to win

Last year when I was a freshman I had started my first year of high school football at Marietta I was excited for the season but a few weeks went by and I had already been failing class I never went to tutoring or did any homework assignments then I had a reality check because my coach had a meeting with me that’s when I started getting A`s, B`s, and C`s and I passed to get to my second semester as a freshman I had beaten my own laziness to pass I felt like a winner. The lesson I had learned was to not stop studying so I can past test and go to the next grade and not be a failure but something greater. And one of my questions are if you have a balanced life does that mean that you are destined for success or for failure in life? As well as if you are balanced would you know how to balance problems and other situations that stop you from …show more content…
When I was in third grade I didn`t really talk to anyone and I had problems staying awake because I was always sleepy until I found out that I was doing bad in school then I decided to start talking and do my work then my grade increased a lot I was proud of myself and my parents were proud of me I felt like I had won. The lesson that I learned was to do my work and talk better, now that’s gotten me in trouble now I talk too much. And one of my questions that I asked was, if you communicate with others could that mean you could be successful? As well as if you communicate could that mean that you and the one you’re working with have the same work

    I feel like the other Wes Moore lives by that. He never found what he was good at in life which led to him running the streets like his older brother. According to Coyle “you will excel only by maximizing your strengths never by fixing your weaknesses.” By saying this Coyle wants his audience to never focus on our weaknesses we will never overcome them we should only improve our strengths. Both of the Moore’s could have had each other fates. One just looked at the long term of…

    Failure In Baseball

    Even when I do everything possible to succeed, it is still possible to fail. Since this experience dealing with failure has become much easier even though I strive not to fail. This situation has helped me deal with many school failures, such as my end of the quarter test. Similar to my slump, my last quarter of Government was not showing the type of student I am, and there was one last shot to get the grade up. I know that failing that test didn't mean I wasn't smart, but instead, it wasn’t my day as luck wasn’t on my side. I knew I couldn’t allow myself to feel sorry because there was a bigger picture. Putting in all the effort allowed me to finish the quarter strong even though there was a rocky middle but the final outcome is what matters most. Baseball allowed me to not get down since failure doesn’t faze me as much as it affects others. As expressed failure is inevitable, but it is more important to deal with and overcome that failure. Being able to make adjustments in baseball are crucial, as well as to make adjustments when life throws you a curveball. There will be times where I will fail as a student, player, and even brother, so it is my responsibility to get back up. Thanks to baseball, I am able to deal with failure better and not let one failure ruin myself for the…

    Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers illuminated countless aspects of society and “success” that are rarely addressed. Practice and hard work are often forgotten once the goal or feet has been achieved. Reading through this list the first time, there were 5 quotes with which I could relate; all of these quotes referred to strong work ethic and the advantages toward one’s future that follow. For this reason, I had to go through them again and really think about which one would be most applicable to me as I look for success in my own life: “Hard work is a prison sentence only if it does not have meaning. Once it does, it becomes the kind of thing that makes you grab your wife around the waist and dance a jig.” This is a concept I am striving to embody…

    One thing that I always hear about myself is how much of a balanced person I am. At first I thought this had to do with my physical ability to balance and that wasn't it. The balance that I identify with is the ability to balance time and effort between my academics, my athletics, and social life. I find myself doing this better and better every year, as I am faced with more strenuous work loads and more responsibilities in my athletics. The teachers and coaching staff at renbrook have helped me become a lot more independent when it comes to managing my own time. After my first year of sports I was able to adapt quickly and shape my schedule accordingly to allow me to prosper in anything I wanted to. Before I was able to balance my time, I…

    Growing up as an only child, I’ve always been required to possess the ability to communicate with adults. Whether it was just simply greeting them at the door or small talking, I was always forced into the spotlight. These awkward at first interactions forced me to develop the capability of small talk and eventually built up the confidence for me to start to convey my ideas to others, especially those with seniority over me. This confidence has led me to impart my own take on things, especially in English class. Even if it turns out that I am wrong, I still attempt to communicate my thoughts in order to be peer-reviewed and see how my perspective compares to others. Another instance in which I utilize my communication skills occurs whenever I am having a problem with someone, which isn’t very often. Instead of ignoring them, I communicate my issue with them in an effort to resolve the problem and move forward. No matter how frustrated someone makes me, I rarely intentionally avoid them because I believe that if I can effectively communicate the perspective I hold on a complication with someone else, I can resolve the problem or, at worse, agree to disagree. Communication remains a significantly important strength to possess owing to its repeated use throughout one’s…
