Well, class of 2016 … today you become official graduates of Twin Valley High School. And I can’t tell you how proud I am of each and every one of you. These last 12 years may have seemed like a long road with some ups and downs along the way. But you’ll be leaving here today with many accomplishments to your credit, a high school diploma and I hope some very good memories. So you and your parents (who have been there with you through thick and thin) deserve heartfelt congratulations for…
be growing, and you plan to keep growing. What a person needs to prove their excellence isn’t just drive, but drive to turn nothing into something. Use success as motivation to keep going. Use failure as motivation to start trying. Use average as motivation to start working. Although, definitions for failure, average, and success varies for everyone, motivation prospers inside of everybody, it just needs a little kick start sometimes. Wherever people come from and wherever people plan to go, it…
Opportunity: Chances and Environment A wise man once said that no matter how hard he works and how far he thinks he can get, it will all depend on whom he or she surrounds himself with and the location it takes place. This wise man as a young boy came to the United States from Mexico to work in the 1950s. He worked day after day, weeks after week and made enough to support himself and save a few dollars for his parents, but everything changed when he met a girl who will change his life; a…
Margaret Mead states, “We are taught to celebrate and admire the one who gets the highest grades, the one voted most attractive or most likely to succeed. But while we often rejoice in the success of people far removed from ourselves—we tend to regard the success of people close at hand, within our small group, as a threat.” But is this the case in society? Success is seen as a source of happiness and security, a source of pride. It is thought of as a good thing to be successful. But success can…
day. One of the most imperative lessons is to go to teacher office hours. The second is to get to know individuals in your class because fellow classmates can be extremely helpful. Next is that having a sense of time is important. Also, to accept failure and use it as a lesson to improve me. Because of these lessons I am prepared for the rest of my years in college. When in college it is important making a habit of going to teacher’s office hours. Furthermore, my first semester I did not start…
to do something, that person is already surrendering to failure. Attempting anything has a higher chance of success than not attempting at all. Failure is a step we must all take to reach success. The world was not created in a day. My dialogue partner also believes that never attempting is worse than failing at something. They believe that one may not know what could happen. One can succeed at something even when all odds point to failure. When one does not attempt in the first place, they are…
By reflecting upon adversity as a learning opportunity, growth minded individuals can apply effort and grow from failure and challenges. Conversely, those with a fixed mindset cope with adversity much differently, according to Dweck. Since the fixed mindset views human qualities as being innate, these individuals often let their failures define them. For example, one might say, “I dropped out of college because I’m stupid. I got A’s throughout high school, but got two D’s…
College applications were fast approaching and I was eager to get into the same University as my friends. We had it all planned, we would dorm together, take classes together, and experience the college life together. As the deadline for choosing my fate for the next four years was approaching, I had to make, what I thought, was the toughest choice at that time choosing the same university as my friends, or going to the university I wanted to go to. I choose California State University of…
2. PRELIMINARIES The research efforts that proposed for the connectivity and coverage issues in WSNs are based upon a lot of theories and assumptions. The basic concepts of connectivity and coverage have an essential role in understanding this issue. In this section, we describe the notions of connectivity and coverage, the category of sensor nodes, sensing models and communication models. 2.1. Connectivity and coverage The objective of deploying a WSN is to keep the FoI under strict…
and a willingness to learn and adapt claw their way back to the pinnacle of their fields. No one is immune from these moments of failure, or critical mistakes, or lapses in judgement. For example, Steve Jobs the co-founder of Apple, was very publicly forced out of the company in the spring of 1985 (Siegel, 2011). While Jobs struggled with his feelings of failure after being ousted from Apple, he did not wallow in them and by Labor Day of 1985 he had reached out to a colleague and…
