In his most recent bestseller, “Outliers”, Malcolm Gladwell examines the many different layers of success; how did the best of the best attain wealth, recognition, and happiness (not necessarily in that order) while doing something they generally enjoyed. How much did arbitrary advantages and disadvantages affect the success rate of these people and what had the biggest impact: these arbitrary aforementioned things or the many hours of hard work they put in? Gladwell has planted the many seeds…

Failing is ok “Failure doesn’t mean the game is over, it means try again with experience.” -Len Schlesinger. Failing can be different to everyone from losing a game, or from getting a bad grade. Failing can mean different things but in some shape or form we all react the same to failure. We all want to try again when we fail and erase our mistakes. In the poem written by Maya Angelou titled “Caged Bird” it talks about being able to believe in yourself and push yourself even if you’ve made…

Trial and Error: My life Before succeeding, I must fail. In order to fail, I must try. In order to try, I must be brave. In order to be brave, I must be dedicated. Failure is inevitable, but it motivates me to aim even higher in order to succeed. I wouldn’t have the incentive to try again without the supportive influences in my life. They’ve directed me on the right path and opened up new opportunities for a bright future. Without a doubt, my family, personality, and interests have introduced me…

Failure is the lack of success. Also known as my biggest fear. Failure has taught everyone at one point some kind of important lesson. The lessons can be to never give up, never look back, and to never procrastinate. I tried to think of a specific failure I have done, but I couldn’t of one. Until I realized I could use my mother's failure on being a good parent, and how it affected me. Her failure has taught me to be a better person, to listen to others, and what not to do when I become a mother…

The fear of failure is not a universally positive motivator. In some cases it is neither positive nor a motivator. Failure may be described as the eventual and inevitable by-product of the expenditure of efforts to achieve success. A fear of failure has never been anything but an abstract to me, because I do not embrace failure as an acceptable outcome. Success may be attained by researching methods to achieve an action or by avoiding problems through observing failures of other people. In…

I need something. Something that can help me get through. Motivate me to keep going. Help me believe in myself. Something that can help me garantee my success in life. What is this trait, that I lack, that I need in order to thrive? What is it, and how can I get it? A wise 19th century monk named Swami Vivekananda once gave a recipe for success that is as relevant today as it was in His day. He said: "Take up one idea. Make that one idea Your life - think of it, drea of it, live on that idea.…

The theme in "The Premature Burial" is that you can overcome your fears as long as you don't focus on the dark and dreary things in life. As a gymnast, fear happens to be a daily occurrence. I have avoided, gone around, and just plain ignored my fear. Something that gymnastics has taught me is in order to escape fear, you have to go through it, not around. You have to decide that you want it more than you are afraid of it. I think the narrator realized in the end that the monsters we are all…

Losing is a Win The choice is simple, you can either praise your child for every little thing no matter the outcome, or allow your child to learn the best life lessons that can be taught to them by playing sports. When we are a child we look at life with rose-colored glasses, as parents if we allow our children to continue to look through their eyes in that way, they will miss the valuable opportunity to learn how to cope when life is no longer that rose color. Some parents want to protect…

The Book I chose to read was Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. The reason I chose this book is because I have read other books by Malcolm Gladwell and find the psychology explained in his previous quite fascinating. There are several factors that I have learned from this book. First, success does not happen by chance. Second, Success takes very hard work, and third, people become successful as a result of a favorable background which propels them to success. The first point I am discussing:…

In a world riddled with scams, moral failure and ethical oversteps, Wayde Goodall writes an excellent book on the reason so many leaders fail and sell their future for a momentary pleasure. The book, Why Great Men Fall gives insights to the specific decisions, choices and errors many leaders of the Bible and contemporary history have made which led to their demise; and at the same time, Goodall provides practical steps that up and coming leaders should take in order to finish well. Among his…
