What is YOUR definition of success? In a paragraph.

OpenStudy (greencat):

Suuccess is relative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Being happy for the rest of my life and loving what i am doing as a job!

OpenStudy (kainui):

Copying other people's answers for THEIR definition of success and calling it YOUR own.

OpenStudy (greencat):

this prompt is like 6th grrade stuff... maybe 7th

OpenStudy (shelby1290):

^ im not copying. im asking for ideas

OpenStudy (shelby1290):

there's a difference

OpenStudy (shelby1290):

i would never plagiarize

OpenStudy (greencat):

good point

OpenStudy (greencat):

me and my classmates would always do that

OpenStudy (greencat):

we were good students of course

OpenStudy (greencat):

stellar*

OpenStudy (shelby1290):

@GreenCat LOOL

OpenStudy (greencat):

back to the point...

OpenStudy (greencat):

im serious. we were great students.

OpenStudy (shelby1290):

so pretty much...success is fulfilling your dreams, right?

OpenStudy (greencat):

no

OpenStudy (shelby1290):

Oh my god. Idk how i'm supposed to right this in a paragraph. Like, its a definition.

OpenStudy (greencat):

it is achieving a goal, whether is be small or big.

OpenStudy (greencat):

I wrote an Sat practice essay "Can success be disastrous?"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly

OpenStudy (greencat):

so...

OpenStudy (shelby1290):

Oh well...i've never written a SAT bc i'm not American lol

OpenStudy (greencat):

success is relative and vague.

OpenStudy (greencat):

it may even be temporary

OpenStudy (kainui):

Success isn't fulfilling your dreams.

OpenStudy (greencat):

like the web team of os fixing ss orange wars

OpenStudy (shelby1290):

How can i write about 4-5 sentences defining success in many ways

OpenStudy (greencat):

it is temporary cuz the oranges attack again

OpenStudy (shelby1290):

like i really need help with this So, can i start off by saying " everyone has a different view on success....."

OpenStudy (shelby1290):

and then say one may think of it as..."insert definition here" another as "insert definition here"

OpenStudy (shelby1290):

@GreenCat , @JustinKlinzmann31

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think of it as achieving your goal in life and how you feel when you achieve that goal I consider that success @shelby1290

OpenStudy (shelby1290):

^ Okay, i'll add that in somewhere

OpenStudy (shelby1290):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are very welcome!

OpenStudy (shelby1290):

i'll just combine all of your definitions into a paragraph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay cool that sounds great!

OpenStudy (shelby1290):

i just have to figure out how to start my topic sentence

OpenStudy (shelby1290):

that's the only problem lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is how I view success

OpenStudy (shelby1290):

Okay. so can i say: Many people have different opinions on what grants them success. I view success as achieving a goal in life and how you'd feel afterwards.

OpenStudy (shelby1290):

@JustinKlinzmann31 i took your words and edited it a bit

OpenStudy (kainui):

Don't do this. You're not answering the question if you do this. They're not asking what a lot of different people think success is. They want to know what YOU think success is.

OpenStudy (shelby1290):

But how often can i keep on talking about my opinion on success? Wouldn't it just drag on? @Kainui

OpenStudy (shelby1290):

I'm writing a paragraph.

OpenStudy (kainui):

Instead of thinking of it as a response to an essay, just spend time thinking about your own life. What do you want to do after you get out of highschool? Maybe live in a trash can, since that seems pretty successful to me, right?

OpenStudy (shelby1290):

Hah um a trash can? I don't think so.

OpenStudy (kainui):

You were asked to write a paragraph about it. If you can't, then I don't think writing about whatever you just feel like is going to really help you out here.

OpenStudy (shelby1290):

Lol but I don't know what to write.

OpenStudy (kainui):

Ok, so you have at least some idea of what success is. Maybe that means having a fun job travelling the world as the best vacuum cleaner salesman India has ever seen so that backhome your dog and wife are super proud of you. See that's almost a whole paragraph and I've only begun describing my amazing success!
