Many people wonder what is the definition of success in real life? It could be success in life, or career. Others believe that success is not important in their lives. If I had the chance to define success in my own words I would say. Success is a number of thoughts in my mind, or a number of goals that satisfy a very different aspect of domains in success areas. Success is the desire to achieve my goals in the short or long terms that could be related to work, life, health, career, time, long or short time goals...ETC. In addition, according to Winston Churchill “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” Winston Churchill believes that, Success is not required to access my ambition in the future and achieve my goals the desire to continue despite the failure is success in quotation Winston. On this essay I am going to write about my top three priorities of success which are, goal oriented, a state of mind, and activity oriented.
First, I’m going to write about the education field which is, learning a new language as a daily term goal. Learning a new language could be very challenging for me of as a student. In addition, it could be very interesting for others. Learning English in these days is very interesting because of the technology. One of the most important things to mention is that, auto-correction software is a new invention that helps me as a student to spell-well during my writing. Next, the more I’m using the office to type my essays or any world process programs, the more of how I will forget how to spell a particular word. Spelling is one of the fundamentals of English, but when I face a lot of spelling mistakes, I must find the reasons. According to an online article titled “Texting is fostering bad grammar and spelling, researchers claims “texting is causing a decline in standards of grammar and spelling in teenagers.” For example, I remember when I was a kid in grade nine, I had a spelling quiz and I failed the quiz. One of the reasons is that, I used to text a lot in grade nine, so when I use a lot of shortcuts in spelling I lose the logic in the word. As a result of that action is, the challenge is to have a good or a perfect form of grammar and spelling in English language. This is my daily term goal. Second, I would like to write about my short term goals. One of the most important things to mention is that, helping the community. For many years, I have been passionate about volunteering. This passion of mine has been growing throughout my life ever since I was a young boy in high school. During Thanksgiving week, I volunteer with EOPS (Extended Opportunity Programs & Services) group from Saddleback College to collect food donations for 25 families that can’t afford Thanksgiving meal to their families. My duty was to sit in front of the Trader Joe’s in Mission Viejo and gather as many donations as I could. It was during Thanksgiving week and I hoped to provide as many people as I could with a nice, healthy Thanksgiving meals for them and their families. For a period of two hours, I sat in front of the Trader Joe’s and spoke with as many people as I could to try and persuade them to help me in this cause. At the end, I was successful, as I was able to provide 25 families with a nice Thanksgiving meal. This is success in my opinion. Finally, my long term goal is that adaptation. In 2010, it might have been the most fantastic year in my life. A year, that I could not have forgotten it. In 2010, I have graduated from high school in Qatar. Furthermore, I was at Qatar Leadership Academy. In addition, it was a military school that taught me how to do military discipline. One of the most important things to mention is that, Obey orders. As a result of that action, I can avoid troubles by obeying the orders. Next, this was a simple and a quick overview about my life in Qatar. On the other hand, the school-style here at the US; is totally different from my country, for example, I notice that in America I can see the whole world which means I saw multiple races and people from all over the world that means we have multiple cultures mixed up in my class room. As a result of that action, I could learn a new language from one of my mates. In addition, University life may be more discipline than high school because it is a new phase of education and a higher level of degree. Adaptation is one of the most important skills that I need to achieve it in the long term.
A state of mind is my second top domains in success. Mahatma Gandhi is the most famous name in India of more than 50 years. In addition, his real name is Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi Known as Mahatma which means (great soul or saint). Furthermore, from a conservative family has a long history in politics, where his grandfather served in the political field and later his father was prime minister. Gandhi devoted his life to spread the peaceful politics for more than fifty years. Of the most famous words of Gandhi, “An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.” Gandhi believes that if everyone in the world hurts someone they can hurt them back, so where would be the humanity and forgiveness there. On the other hand, this statement of Mahatma Gandhi is anti-violent quite simply, Gandhi says that if someone violent towards you, you should not respond with violence because it will not achieve anything and in the end only hurt you more than that. In addition, I believe that forgiveness is my happiness in my life and my mind. Next, I would like to write about my passion in Business. Business is very important in our lives. In addition, it can change your life style class from poor or low class to high class. Having a passion in business it is like a boost or buff to achieve more and more of your goals. For many years, I have been passionate about several aspects of trade. This passion of mine has been growing throughout my life ever since I was a young boy in middle school. It all started when I was 14 years old. When I bought my first smart phone it was called I-mate that cost me about 500$.Later on, I had sold my cell phone for 650$, so I made a 150$ as a profit. That experience has ignited something in me that I didn't know it was existed. All these experiences have led me to apply to University of La Verne. Being here would help me a lot in gaining experience in the field which I adore the most. Having this opportunity would change my life and would allow me to continue my dream of my life and justify my strong desire of becoming a successful business man. Finally, I want to write about my emotions when I visited my secret place in Irvine. If I have the chance to describe a place that I really like, I will definitely speak about my feeling when I visited the south lake at Irvine. However, it all started as a mere coincidence. In one day when I get depressed and I do not have someone to share my feeling with. In addition, I decided to visit the lake for the first time in my life. When I arrived, I walked through the pier wooden, and sat in front of the lake watching the charm of this nature. The first thing that took my attention is the glowing of candles on each house of the houses, as if a star in the sky. Then I felt these lights were a radiation of love, tenderness and warmth that I have missed it since coming to the United States of America. Then I felt I need someone to listen to me, but I could not find someone to listen to me, expect the lake. Furthermore, I felt the sea was speaking to me and he told me “I feel what you feel”. I’m here to hear you to the last minute. After that, then I emptied all the pain inside my heart and the sadness. After emptying all my heart to the lake I felt comfortable. This was my relationship with the lake. Having a feeling toward something is very important to fulfill my emotional feeling in my mind.
Activity oriented is my last top domain I would like to write about. Sport is an essential part in my personal life I am always careful to keep the sport in my daily bases to get the body and mind healthy. Having a good body and a good mind would help me to be more successful man in school and to achieve more and more of my goals. Then, cultural clubs are seeking to achieve sufficient awareness among individuals or groups to win the different cultures of the countries or cultures. Traditions, is a big cultural of behavior, that I usually learned it from my ancestors. It is my duty to pass it from generations to generations. Traditions are the only way, to remind me of whom I’m and my knowledge of my past. I cannot get rid of traditions and customs because it is a part of me lives inside me and every one of you. However, that part is always makes me proud of myself. Finally, One of my favorite hoppy is photoplay. Photography is a freeze of a happy moment in my life to keep the memory of a lifetime in my mind. Success for me in the field of photography is to collect the largest number of beautiful memories to give me a positive energy in my life to keep going on.
To sum up Success is a collection of personal ambitions, seeking to achieve. True success is not success, but failure. Failure is one way to try to achieve my goals more accurately and better every day I fail I'll always learn something new.
