Success

Nelson Mandela once said,“The greatest glory in living lies not in never failing, but in rising every time you fail.” Failure helps you to become stronger because it helps you to set a goal. For instance, if you fail a test your goal will be to ace the next test. The more you look at your failing grade, the more inspired you are to do better. Failing also helps you to learn. When you fail, you look at what you did, fix it, learn from it, and become stronger from it. In the book Red Queen, Mare…

Many people have their Luxuries, victories, and happy moments which is something a person earns while achieving a goal through out a period of time. A person can have a luxurious life if they put a lot of hard work to the goal they are aiming for which can be anything they desire. As time passes by their possibilities of having expensive things can increase because of all the effort they put into their future plans, it can also be a great advantage for a positive reputation. One of the…

Adventure to Literacy I’ve come to realize one thing, that no matter how dreadful or hopeless something may seem, nothing ever stays the same. You have to decide whether it defeats you or molds you into a stronger person. In my situation, I became strengthened. My path to literacy developed into a long journey, full of hardship and frustration. Encouragement from my parents, along with great effort, endless studying, perseverance, and breakthroughs, have shaped me into an avid reader. My…

One unique quote from Mary E. Pearson, from The Kiss of Deception is “It can take years to mold a dream. It takes only a fraction of a second for it to be shattered.” One only needs a fraction of a second to destroy a dream. Humans want dreams to prosper, and to do so, hope and faith are very important. Without dreams, hope or faith, it can be devastating to a person, as they would have no goals and without hope or faith, people would seem lost while living with no directions or any goals…

In Death of a Salesman and A Raisin in the Sun, the leading character is trying to capture the American dream, but it just does not seem to happen because of lack of understanding from family and friends. Willy Loman in a Raisin in the Sun, was wanting the respect of people associated with him and Walter Younger in Death of a Salesman was trying a get rich quick plan to be able to support his family.

“With great power comes great responsibility”. In one’s lifetime, this quote is found to be true in almost all aspects of life. However, this saying fails to comprehend the views of society towards those with power. It is human nature to not welcome authority, despite the fact that it is necessary in the balance of life. George Orwell states that he was once “hated by large numbers of people--the only time in my life that I have been important enough for this to happen to me.” This quote goes to…

Self-reflection is key to growth. If a person thinks they are never in the wrong they will never be able to improve upon their weaknesses. That is why I am going to reflect and evaluate my "I've Got Taste" speech, delivered on Friday, 9 March 2018. Evaluating the primary aspects of the speech, delivery and content, as well as setting goals for my next speech will help me strengthen my weaknesses and improve the quality of future speeches. On a scale of one to ten, ten being perfect and one…

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…

Introduction These movies are in stark contrast to each other but have one thing in common both look at men who are in a foreign place trying to survive and perhaps flourish. Each man is literally a man without a country. These movies look at their struggle or journey to get what they really want. Along the way they both find that the ones they love are the important thing not necessarily the journey they taken to discover that. These movies show the constant battle of trying to do what they…

In a free enterprise system people have a choice to make or do what ever they want to become successful. I choose Tyler Perry for my argument and I think it was necessary for him to use the free enterprise system to become successful in this world. In Tyler Perry's story on how he became successful was very emotional but inspiring to me. He have wrote and produced many plays in the 1990's and nearly nobody came but a few people. Around the 2000's on up he started making progress and blessings…
