    Though some of the goals we have in childhood relate to the goal we have in adulthood, as a whole, they differ greatly. For example, as children, we are very much about instant gratification. Our goals center soley around the here and now.

In contrast in adulthood, our goals seem to have more meaning, and are primarily long term.…

    Everyone’s notions of success differ because individuals perceive success based on their own experiences with various environmental influences. As analyzed by Carol S. Dweck in her article “Mindset: The New Psychology of Success”, there are two main mental outlooks that affect people that are classified as growth and fixed mindsets. Dweck states that people with fixed mindsets identify success as a result of their inherited intelligence, and the ability to avoid failure at all costs. Hence, a fixed mindset is the belief that one’s skills are carved in stone rather than practiced and nourished. In contrast, a growth mindset seeks challenges and views failures as an opportunity to grow and develop better skills, and that failure is not evidence…

Though I can identify how we could make this assumption under unreliable statistics, however I strongly disagree with the idea of how well you raise your children is solely dependent on your family's income. As a young scholar, I find Lindsey’s article to be interesting and not helpful, but it is not something that I would aimlessly call fact. Brink Lindsey starts his article by addressing the problems on why people are not going to college. The author explains that the problem was started from our culture progressing too…

    Success In Into The Wild

    The textbook definition of success is “the accomplishment of an aim or purpose,”. From personal experience, however, success is anything that can make an individual feel content with the life the person lives, whether planned or not. Success is not required to be something that leaves a mark on the entire world; success can just be something that leaves a mark on you. As Jon Krakauer, author of Into The Wild, once wrote “The basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure,” (77) I believe that everyone should follow their dreams and accept what comes without hesitation. For Chris Mccandless and Henry David Thoreau, however, success was more about finding out who a person really is by life experiences, personality, and attitudes…
