The Joy of Success

Successful people are usually individuals with sense of purpose. They are strong willed human beings with vision and ambition. They will rather try and fail than not to try at all. According to Ella Wheeler Wilcox, there is no fate, destiny, or power, which can hinder, control, or circumvent the firm resolve of a determined soul. Do you have the determination to succeed? Do you have a sense of purpose? What have you sacrificed for success? Finding your purpose in life is very essential, and when you do so, other things will fall into place. Life will start making sense. A person with a sense of purpose is never idle. He or she is always looking for ways to invent new products. He is always looking into any opportunity to become an employer of labor. He dreams big and takes risks. A person with sense of purpose does not relax and become comfortable with just paychecks. Whoever that relies on paychecks alone goes from paycheck to paycheck. Just paychecks will not make you a millionaire. If you have the determination to succeed, you should make friends who reason alike. Stay away from friends who will be pulling you down whenever you are climbing the ladder of success.      

Our younger generations in junior high and high schools need to step up their games. The time is past when you say, “I don’t wanna go to college.” Make it compulsory that you will go to college come what may. You have to define a future for yourself. Your parents just need to give you their supports, but the determination to be educated is yours. When you are graduated from high school at the age of eighteen, no one at this time can push you against your will. That is why I encourage you to see the importance of education. An educated person for the most part will live above poverty level at least. Do not put retardation to your growth.

There are so many bad things to avoid if you go to school. They say that an idle man is a devil’s workshop. When you are not keeping your brain busy with academics, it will start thinking about crimes. The eight hours spent at school is more meaningful than eight hours spent on the internet (facebook and chat rooms). Internet is a good servant and also a bad servant in the sense that it can ruin you. Some internet sites are not safe for the children. Don’t get me wrong, information technology has made it possible even for us to sit home and research extensively online without going far for it, but always consider its disadvantages to our idle children. Unhealthy relationships are developed there online. Make good use of your time and build a relationship that will yield profit. Girls, stay as tight as you can. High school pregnancy most times ruins your chances to progress. It is only on very rare occasions that you come back to make it after giving birth while still in high school.

Challenge yourself and advance beyond your own imagination. Do not look back when you are focusing on the future. Do not let your friends bring a stumbling block in your desire to become an icon of success. Success is not meant for one particular race or ethnicity, but anyone with sense of purpose. If you have sense of purpose, there is no way you will agree to spend your entire life in incarceration.
