I believe everyone can be successful as long as they try. You just have to have something called grit . “Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. “ says Angela Duckworth .I believe no matter how bad life gets there will always be something good coming your way. You just have to have grit. Thats where no matter how hard things get, you keep pushing. You just can't give up, cause if you do, your dreams will never come true. Everyone has a dream, whether it is to become rich, fly their own helicopter or own a fancy cottage. People dream of becoming teachers, professors, or perhaps even lawyers. But for most of these things you need schooling And, not everyone is fit for school. But don't think that can stop you from having
a good life. These people simply are not the academic type. These people may be the physical type. Young men and women who have grown up in "rough" neighborhoods where they may have had to be physically capable of defending themselves have two things in common, the ability to use their fists and the ability to ride their opponent's punches. These abilities make it possible for them to provide a better life for themselves and their families because they are capable of defending themselves. Many people who are physically powerful may take up boxing because they like it, not because they are forced into the ring or made to fight. They are men or women who love to fight, not to inflict pain on someone but because they have always fought to protect themselves and because it satisfies their urges. These urges are, to be out there on their own, to prove that they are the one, and that they are capable of becoming the next Mike Tyson of the business. It is with boxing that one can do this. One uses their own wits and ability to prove that they are the best at what they do, whether it is to use their fists and fight. My goal Is to be a boxer one day and show everyone that you don't need school to have a successful life. There are many different people out here with amazing god given talents . And in the generation now days people can't use those talents without going to school and collage. And some people just aren't made for it. But that does not mean to give up. Show your talents to the world and be the best you can be and you will be successful without a school education. Quote*, “Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school.” —– Albert Einstein
I agree with Gladwell that hard work can lead to success. Too often we think success happens because someone has money or gets lucky. This is wrong. Success takes hard work, imagination, and motivation. “Success is not a random act. It arises out of a predictable and powerful set of circumstances and opportunities.” (Gladwell 52) If you assert yourself and use your mind and imagination, you can create those
Success in life is related to the achievement of individual goals, short and long term. Success has historically been related to the measurable cognitive functions such as IQ and talent. However in more modern time’s there has been a shift towards the idea that developmental non-cognitive factors, such as grit and self-control, may have an impact on the level of success that an individual achieves. Non-cognitive factors such as grit and self-control are somewhat related but also distinct from one another, they may have an important connection to levels of success throughout the stages of life from childhood to adulthood.
´´ If one advances confident in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. ’’ These words were spoken by Henry David Thoreau.Success is within the mind of the individual. A large portion of one´s life is spent working to become successful. People are told throughout childhood to work hard so they can grow up and achieve all of their dreams. But success takes many different forms. Different people have different interpretations of what success means to them. It does not matter how related they are to each other in certain áreas they always have a different point of view of what success really is. For some success is measured by social status and wealth
The quality of unimaginable success is determined by grit. Despite confronting difficult life circumstances that delay the process individuals who are passionate, intelligent, and dedicated to one’s own success will continue maintaining consistency throughout their journey. Success is measured by an individuals’ commitment to effectively work hard towards life-changing goals. In the journal article “Grit: Perseverance and Passion for Long-term Goals,” Angela L. Duckworth conducts several studies in order to convey human’s capacity for higher achievements while still enduring challenges and failure. Although Duckworth’s research has proven that individuals who are less gritty tend to shift trajectory, I believe working hard and keeping “stamina” is essentially the key to achieving your goals (1088).
In the United States, the most prominent philosophy is hard work, grit, and determination will guarantee success. In many cases, this philosophy holds true. Many Americans--enjoying exotic vacations and extravagant possessions--enjoy superlative lives. Angela Duckworth, author of Grit, the Power of Passion and Perseverance, exclaims “...grit still predicts success. Regardless of specific attributes and advantages that help someone succeed” (12). However, many of the grittiest Americans still never achieve their own ideas of success. Unfortunately, people who encompass grit may cause more harm than good; gritty people frequently desire goals that are unaccomplishable and even strive for said goals with no purpose. Therefore, grit does not necessarily predict success because people regularly overwork and overwhelm themselves with the importance grit.
How does motivation plan to help me throughout my life? Grit became an experience on my life in so many ways. The ways grit has done this on films, tv shows, books, documentaries, and in real life.

According to Dylan, anyone can be successful. In a way this is true, but just waking up every morning, doing what you please, and then going to bed a night, will not make a person successful. Imagine a world where people did as they pleased. This world may appear calm and happy at first. This view will change once the people realize they are not meeting certain needs or supplies disappear. With people doing as they please, there would be no one going into work everyday to create the millions of materials humans use each day. Factories would be forced to shut down and then the supply chain would simply stop altogether.
In order to be successful in life, you need to have positive influences, whether it is friends, nature, or family. Everyone at some point in time will suffer from not having these influences. The reality is that no matter what the circumstances, with the right attitude and determination, you can succeed and be successful.
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, grit in the context of behavior is defined as “firmness of character; indomitable spirit.” Angela Duckworth, author of Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, tweaked this definition, with her studies, to be “perseverance and passion for long-term goals.” Duckworth argues grit is built from the inside out through four elements: interest, passion, purpose and hope. Through these elements, a growth mindset is born and nourished; “being optimistic and having a growth mindset leads to a grittier person” (Duckworth 182). So why do people need grit? Grit allows people to persevere. Grit builds resilience and in turn, allows a person to maintain optimism and discipline in the face of rejection, discomfort or lack of progress.

Academic excellence is thought to be a very high-prioritized achievement in today’s society, and in order to reach many goals of success knowledge is the key. Although knowledge is very helpful, without grit you will never achieve great things.

Everything you have overcome in your life is a reason as to why you should want to be successful; you will be successful
For some it might be difficult to think of someone successful they know; but for me it is simple, the most successful person I know is my mom. My mom has not always had it easy in fact, I’d say her life has been quite difficult, but she’s always found a way around things. My older sister, Katie, was diagnosed with bipolar and ADHD around the age of ten; most mothers may have given up, deciding that the situation at hand was too hard to handle, but mine never did. Instead, she stayed firm in her faith and stuck it out, getting Katie medicated and counseled on a low budget; while also
Success is something that we want to achieve. Every person has a goal that may include school or just having a dream car. Even if we are stress out or having a bad day, we never should give up because then will regret it at the end. In my life I haven’t achieve something big but something that I am proud of is being a person, living on my own, and still continue my education. Even if it is something small you should be proud of yourself. I encourage everyone not to give up but continue to whatever you want to achieve.
