Hey guys i was in class today and we had a guest speaker and he shared these videos with us about success and i want to share them with you guys here they are:

\(\bigstar\) Success is not served on a platter, some say they want to be successful but don't really want it. Like in the video it says" if you want to succeeded as bad as you want to breathe you will be successful". It may take months and even years but once you are successful you will feel relived.

For people with Asthma, when you get a asthma attack all you want is air, you don’t care about a basketball game or watching the final countdown, you want AIR. When you reach to the point when you want to be successful as bad as you want to breathe, you will be successful.

\(\bigstar\) The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus.

Answer 2

\[ \hspace{70pt}\huge \sf \text{Time Consuming }\]
\(\bigstar\) Let say we have a
\(\bullet\color{blue}{\bf Jar}\)- Represent your time.
\(\bullet\color{blue}{\bf Box \ of \ sand}\) -Represents your games, Netflix etc.
\(\bullet\color{blue}{\bf \ Small \ rocks}\) - Represent the beach the hanging out with friends
\(\bullet\color{blue}{\bf \ Large \ rocks}\)- Represents homework, college stuff, and important stuff

Lets say you play a lot of games and never have time for important stuff like homework and studying. And when you friends ask you to go to play football but you know you have a huge test tomorrow but you choose to go play football anyway, and when you reach home you start procrastinating and fail the test. You jar will look like this.


\(\bigstar\) First it will be filled with the "SAND* because the sand represent the games and that alone takes half of the jar, then you put the "SMALL" rocks which represents the hanging with friends takes another chunk of the jar and finally the "LARGE* rocks come in and only 3 rocks can fit in the jar and that causes you to not be successful.

Answer 3

\[ \hspace{70pt}\huge \sf \text{Opposite } \]
But a guy that does his homework first before going to play football jar will look like this

\(\bigstar\) First the jar will be filled with the "LARGE" rocks which represent the homework,studying and important stuff because the important stuff comes FIRST,and after that the "SMALL" rocks which represent the hanging with friends which will come after the homework and important stuff, then finally the sand will come in but will not have enough space for it but the sand can slip through the cracks of the rocks so you have to constantly keep your self focus and try staying away from that stuff, but you can still do it but not for HOURS a day.

Even sleep has to go because in the video it says "if you want to be successful you will have to be willing to give up sleep, you have to able to live off 3 or 4hours or sleep because if you go to sleep you will miss the opportunity to be successful".

\(\bigstar\) Like the video says " Pain is temporary, it may last for a minute, or an hour, or a day, or even a year, but eventually it will subside, and something else will take its place. If you quit however, it will last FOREVER"

You will have to be able to sacrifice what you are for what you will become :D

Answer 4

\[ \hspace{70pt}\huge \sf \text{Example Preetha} \]

@Preetha probably sacrificed a lot for this site, here and her helpers. She probably went sleepless nights and studied hard and sacrificed her time just for this site to be what it is today.
That is a true example of SUCCESS.

Answer 22

Wow! Hey thanks Jag. This is a very insightful post. I am really happy that you are thinking about this and that your speaker's words have made an impact on you. This is the first step to achieving success. I want you to make this your daily chant, and start living these principles. At the end of the day, you are a success or not - when you decide you are a success - by your own metrics. I am not wealthy like Bill Gates - but I do feel that I am succeeding in something I care about -helping young people find THEIR success. Everytime I see a post like this - I feel I a a little closer to achieving that.

Answer 23

I will share a video with you - I saw this movie when I was quite young, but it has made an impact on me. (*Little known fact about Preetha - she cries when she hears some songs - including My Fair Lady and Sound of Music) Here are the lyrics:To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far

To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
