My Future is Now

I feel the lush red carpet underneath my elegant heels and smile as cameras rush up to snap pictures of the slow procession. I slowly walk into the large hall of my very first Hollywood premiere. A colleague of mine sweeps over with a large grin on her face.

"Bet you thought you'd never be at one of these!" she says excitedly. I calmly smile back in return. Having never had great opportunities just fall into my lap, I know I've worked long and hard to achieve my career goal. Not only am I employed as a computer animator at a major company, I have designed the special effects for the hottest movie on the market.

&...

... middle of paper ...

...ow, after years of preparation, my diligence is paying off. I sit down at a nearby table and chat with my friends. I know I have succeeded because I put my career goals first. I have taken every opportunity available and built it into a life-changing step closer to my goal. After all, it's not how much you are given that matters, it's what you do with what you already have.

  • Definition Essay: What Does Success Means In Life

    501 Words  | 2 Pages

    Success means to live a life in alignment with what brings us real joy. In my case, “success-joy” comes in many guises. At times, in being persistent with my current dreams, others, investing time and energy in what makes my life shine, and that is, without a doubt, when my life is at service of humanity and when I cultivate happy and healthy close relationships. I tend to define success as a state of being, a constant process of unfolding rather than a place to arrive. It is the journey of getting to know ourselves, in order to fully occupy every aspect of what we are; a forever changing aspiration, a state of being in which we realize that life’s greatest rewards spring from our capacity to relate to adversity in innovative ways. I have also discovered that real success shows up again when we debunk and deconstruct every single stereotype and assumption we have about ourselves. In this way, we feel capable to challenge what is commonly accepted as wisdom and then we have the opportunity to change and integrate our values with greater ones. There is an enormous joy when we feel free to play with the possible new scenarios that our imagination and creativity compelled us to try. A successful state of being is alert and grounded within us with the certainty, that the choices we embark on are in resonance with what we consider is the truth of what we are in that precise

    In current times, success seems to determine everything about an individual. One of the main reasons people go to school is to grow up and become successful. Success is the reason anyone does anything. Whether it be a small or large-scale success does not matter.

Either way success motivates people. The question that goes with it is, was I successful? If one says yes, then they ask why? The answer almost always includes some amount of preparation. Because a success without prior preparation is uncommon. No matter what, we humans strive

  • Youth Gangs

    648 Words  | 2 Pages

    When beginning a discussion or exploration of youth gangs, the longevity of the social problem becomes a reasonable starting point. Youth joining together and roaming the streets of London together in packs were described as early as 1830 in Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist (Burnett, 1999). Before considering the current state of affairs with youth gangs, it first becomes important to focus attention on developing a concise understanding of what is meant by the term “youth gang.” Additionally, what are trends relating to the spread and progression of youth gangs in America? In order to do this, a close examination of a common definition of a youth gang and research relating to the spread and migration of youth gangs must occur.

  • Analysis Of Alexader Pope's 'A Little Learning Is A Dangerous Thing'

    1376 Words  | 3 Pages

    This poem fits within the scope of the period due to its mention of arts and sciences. Its focus on those things which are measuarable and seen rather than the Romantic period that it followed. Pope, not only turned away from his Catholic upbringing but identified with those around him who believed that if something existed, then it was supposed to exist, without much faith that God had much to do with any of it. Knowing that Pope’s beliefs aligned with those writing during the Age of Reason and was focused on science rather than religion and arts more than the upper echelons of society makes the work clearer in its focus. Pope put his belief in those things that he could see, feel and experince rather than in something that was potentially hidden from his view. His loss of faith could be a result of the struggles that he went through when he was younger, simply by being associated with a certain religion. It could also be argued that by being born sickly, never reaching a normal height, having a twisted spine and other maladies which haunted him could have angered him at God, and he hoped that science could potentially provide him with some relief for some of his

    It's been two days since the little mirror was handed to her, since she was shot into a dystopian dreamland, which apparently held the earths future in its hands. Emmy glanced at the mirror again, for about the 50th time that morning. Her reflection was not there, which meant that the world she was in right now had not turned into reality. (yet) She had been placed in a small, chemical white cell room which contained only a small, also chemical white bed and a red plant. A plant. Not even a toilet, or something you could deposit your body waste in. Shit. Emmy thought. I really have to pee. She got up and walked/ran to the door, which did not have a door handle. Great. She was about to start pounding on it when there was a knock from the other side. The door slid open and Emmy had to quickly step back to avoid getting squashed. A tall figure appeared at the doorway...

  • My Theory Of Success: The Definition Of Success

    823 Words  | 2 Pages

    Even though the definition of “success” has a very nuanced meaning depending on its culture and context, highly successful people typically exhibit the same universal characteristics. For despite common belief, successful people are not affiliated with some exclusive club and it has to do more with attitude than superior I.Q intelligence. Therefore, many people have the ability to learn about how they can be successful and do better than they are now. Due to having the privilege of interacting with successful people on a daily basis, I gradually coined my own theory of success. In addition, interviewing successful college students for the basis of the EPE course project has managed to further support and strengthen my theory. Yet rather than just being applied to an academic setting like a college or school, theses theories can be slightly modified to be applied in other aspects of life as well. It should be worth emphasizing that exhibiting some of these traits are likely good indicators of being a successful person, however there are a lot more not mentioned. For due to their vast variety, it would be extremely difficult to talk about each of them individually. As a result, I have taken the liberty of grouping them into broader categories and have listed them in no particular order.
