Recommended: Define success and failure

In Britney Spears song “Criminal” she says, “I know you told me i should stay away.” These words mean that she was advised to stay away but she does not listen.

First and foremost, making your own decisions allow for you to make bad decisions and make mistakes. When you make your own mistakes and not guided mistakes, you understand the faults more. In other words, if you tried skating and fell multiple times, if you keep trying or not, it is your choice.

    I have to say the reading gave me a different outlook on what inmates? do and think while in prison. They become a number not a person and do have needs that have to be address. Addressing these needs will help in running an institution smoothly and more safely. Finally Anonymous makes a powerful statement in the writing of this book on some policies that should be changed in prisons.

  • What I Ve Learned From Writing Shaunna Singh Baldwin Analysis

    Success is not given, it is earned. Waking up for a 5am skating practice is nobody’s ideal Wednesday morning, especially for a hormonal teenager like myself. However, satisfaction of landing a new jump or learning a new spin does not come from letting our ‘wants’ buyout our dreams. “By the time we’d finished, we were amazed at how much the book had taught us: about ourselves.” I don’t always succeed, nor do I always expect to. Throughout all the morning practices and late night workouts, failure is something I have learned from. I remember giving up on myself countless times after falling on a jump or not turning my edges properly, as if I had ‘writer's-block,’ feeling completely numb. Nevertheless, succeeding was the easy part, it was learning to grow into the 6 year old singing, confident, child again, and defeating the numbness. I have learned, along the way, people are going to try to undercut your success or take credit for your hard work. However, it is the end product that matters. It will be I who knows how to complete a program, or I who knows how to work hard. Staying focused as the athlete I am, not letting people side track me, builds the confidence to know ‘I finished the

    The first chapter in Who Owns the Ice House is all about choice. There was a quote from the author that states, “The ability to choose the way we react to our circumstances is perhaps the greatest power that we have” (Taulbert 2010). This in my opinion is a very true statement. Our choices are what define us and set us apart from other people. As taulbert talks about in his book, people who dream and have great ideas either choose to do

    In my opinion, making decisions can be categorized into three levels. The first level is making decisions about daily life from choosing what to wear to making a plan for the weekend; making wrong decisions in such level does not have big effects. Making decisions about personal affairs is the second level, such as choosing a partner or a job; people cannot see clearly at this level, and making wrong decisions at the second level can have long-term consequences on their lives. The third level, which is the most difficult, is making critical decisions that determine the destiny of whole nations; at this level, leaders are put between two detrimental decisions and have to choose the least harmful one.

    Self-improvement initiates both happiness and an increased ability to succeed in things over which we have some but not complete control. Because we cannot control them, the greatest thing we can do is to internalize the goals we form about the things over which we lack complete control. Irvine’s example depicts a person who wants to win a tennis match. This person does not have control over their opponent or how they play, but they do have control over how much they prepare for the match and how they perform during it. If they set goals to train and play to their best ability, then they increase their chances of winning compared to if they did not play as well as they

    … First of all, I agree with Emerson because when you’re at home as a child you don't just give up on things. When you’re learning to walk you continue to until you’ve mastered it and you don't give up. After you learn to walk as a child you continue to grow and improve by continuing to walk. After you’ve finally mastered walking you improve to running. Even after you’ve mastered running you continue to improve. Also, when you begin to ride a bike you start off riding a tricycle. After you have mastered a tricycle you then move up to a bike with two wheels. If you didn't keep trying then you wouldn't have ever bettered yourself by learning a new task.

The choices I have made have given me great opportunities to create a better and more fulfilling life for me.
