The Importance Of Obstacles In Life

352 Words1 Page

Many people feel that anyone can accomplish any goal, while others believe that people are limited in the goals they can accomplish. Accomplishing a goal can be difficult. Obstacles ultimately can get in the way of achievement. However, with dedication,persistence, and time anyone can achieve their goals.

Dedication is important in achieving a goal because if you are not dedicated in doing something then you may drop whatever it is you were striving to achieve and just leave it. For example, if you want to build a house and never showed up or never put in any effort into completing the process then that house may never get finished and you may decide that you no longer want to build that house.

Persistence is another important tool you need in achieving any goal. This is an important tool because when attempting to do something if you do not constantly keep at it then you will never finish. For example, if you want to make a portrait and start it one day and did as much as you could on the portrait then never look at it again, you may never go back to that portrait again. If you don´t always strive or attempt to do something if you don't always push towards your goal then you will never accomplish your goal. …show more content…

If you want to do something more than anything but don't put time aside for that goal then you will never have any time to accomplish that goal. Time plays an important part because time pulls everything together. If you don't want to put in any time for your goal then why set that goal in the first

  • The Consequences of Man's Ambition

    1660 Words  | 4 Pages

    Motivation is the main element towards success. Students, scientist, teachers and/ or any individual who wants to reach a goal needs to be motivated/ambitious. This motivation/ambition is what guides and keep people going. This ambition may be geared towards inventing/creating something, obtaining more money, and/or succeeding. The ambition people have are good, but sometimes lead to bad consequences. These consequences set the relationship between action and ambition. But, no matter what the goal is people with ambitions will not stop until their goal is met. Ambition towards obtaining something is what motivates people. For example Victor Frankenstein wanted to create a human being. As Mary Shelley writes in "Frankenstein", Victor Frankenstein wanted to be "the first to break through life and death ideal bonds"(231). His ambition was to create a human and to break these boundaries. But most importantly, he wanted to be recognized as the first individual to do this. This recognition would make him famous forever. The only thing he thought of was to break the boundaries of life and create a human creature.
