Watch this video and answer the following questions: What are some things you think someone has to sacrafice to be successful? Then tell me what are some things you are willing to sacrafice to be successful at whatever it is you wish to be successful at? 120-150 words.
Success for me is achieving any goal you have in mind. It doesn't matter how small o big it may be, you'd feel just as great with either of them. I believe it's important to have little goals in your head, like daily tasks, but it is even more important to have a life plan and always lead in that direction,the reason why this is important is that it won't always be easy. My personal goal for now is to learn english and as much of american culture as I can.In order to do this i left my old awesome life behind, thats how bad i want it.
ReplyDeleteWell stated Armando! Sometimes we have to put our awesome lives on hold so that we can prepare for a better future!
DeletePeople who want to be successful and achieve their aims have to sacrifice things. That can mean that they have to leave their families and go abroad. Sometimes successful people also need to give up their hobbies and passions because it is important for them to study and get more knowledge. Maybe it is necessary that they learn another language or practice sports. I personally want to get a good job in my future. Therefore I have to study a lot and go abroad. Now I am here in Atlanta to improve my English abilities although it is hard for me to leave my home country and my family. Consequently I also have to modify my daily life routine. For instance I reduced to play tennis because I need more time to reach my personal purposes. Even though I would never give up all my habits, I am trying to restrict them so that I am able to have more time for being successful. That is in my case to study financial business and work for the German government.
ReplyDeleteGood write. I am sorry you have to reduce your tennis playing time, but you will be glad you did so in the future.
DeleteI agree with this movie. And particurally, I think we have to sacrifice other futures to be successfull. To suceed something, we usually set the goal ; what we want to be or what we want to complete. After making a descion, we have to take action focus on our goal. It also means we lose other oppotunitites of our future. When I was junior high school student, I was thinking about my job, I wanted tobe not only teacher, but also engineer. When I decided to be theacher, I made a goal, university, studying abroad and something like that. So I couldn't change my plan easily after that. That is why we have to sacrifice other possibilities for our future if we want to scuceed.
ReplyDeleteVery good. I am confident that you Kume are going to be a GREAT teacher. :)
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, people have to sacrifice their comfortable life, which means they have simple works and tasks only and do nothing something improve their ability. Staying lazy is quite easy and comfortable for them, because they just follow their greed. However it is hard to get out from easy life and make efforts everyday. As other student mentioned, making effort means that people set aims which range in size of daily aims to long-term aims. It is necessary to control themselves and conquer any temptation to keep making efforts. They can not do it without their strong will that they really desire to achieve their goals. In conclusion, the sacrifice is to give up comfortable life and put themselves in hard life.
ReplyDeleteI will sacrifice comfortable life to be successful. It does not mean keep pushing myself all time. I need sometimes break, because break charges me energy. If I work hard without break, I will feel stressful and stop it.
This is a solid write Kanae. Next time, I suggest giving a little more details. For example, when you say you will sacrafice comfortable life, what aspects of a comfortable life are you speaking about?
DeleteSuccess is’nt easy. You have to be very motivated, determinated, concentrated on your goal and certainly you have to give up many things in your life. These things are often useless little things which make you feel comfortable that you have to get through it.
ReplyDeletePersonally I don’t know yet what I want to be successful at because didn’t find what I would love to do, I’m looking for it. I think you’re successful at something when you love what you do. When you love what you do and you are proficient at it, you can give up all the things you do when you are bored in your free time like TV, computer, sleeping… You know you don’t need these things to be successful and you don’t want to waste your time because you don’t want let anybody steal your dream.
Even when you are in pain, don’t give up because pain is temporary but if you quit it may lasts forever. « You’re already in pain, you’re already hurt. Get a reward from it ».
For me the secret of success is that you have to be able at any moment to sacrifice what you are for what you’ll become. That’s how winning is done.
Awesome Quentin! I hope you soon find what it is you might want to become successful at, but no matter what it is, I am sure you will be great at it.
ReplyDeleteThe mean of success is different from one to another. But, anyway, people who want to succeed in one field have to sacrifice other possibilities. For example, people who want to succeed in business may have to give up time with her and his family. This is because when he enjoy his pastime with family, his rivals may keep working and excel him. To success, people must not fall behind his rivals. So, they cannot afford to doing other things. In my hometown Japan, this tendency still have remained
ReplyDeleteI don’t want to succeed just to sacrifice other important things. In fact, the success in business can allow me to win fortune and fame. However, I want to value other satisfying life: my family, hobbies and culture. I think success only in one field cannot make us happy.
Of course, I want to work hard and earn some money as journalist in the future as far as I need not to give up other important things...
This is a good response, but you surely must be willing to sacrifice something to succeed to be a journalist. What are you willing to sacrifice to become a journalist Kohei?
DeleteWhat about success is. Are successful people the most happy, the most rich, the most educated? I really don't Know and I don't care too. I dare you whether you know what success is. Nevertheless, it's necessary to have focus and vision on the aim and try steadily to catch up the sensation of accomplishment, it's about what to intend to be and how to do the best. It requires to intent to be, not to pretend to be. although it's difficult, it's possible. Keep going through the rough path and you will have been there at the end.
ReplyDeleteBenicio
Benecio, you have avoided the question and proper response to it. You have certainly made sacrifices to be where you are today. You have not addressed the issue in your response, you have merely rubbed it off. Please reply with a better response.
DeleteI think being successful is one of the most important things in my life. First of all, I agree the idea that; "People have to sacrifice somethings to become
ReplyDeletemore successful." People who want to be successful in their life should sacrifice their free lazy time. If you want to succeed something, you should choose to work hard for your goals rather than playing computer games or hanging out with your friends. Besides, sometimes people who want to be more successful have to sacrifice their habits. For instance, I used to sleep more before I didn't have my goals. I used to spend time with my computer or my friends all the time. But now,
I know that I want to study genetics so bad. This means that I have to study hard, improve my English skills and do my best to achieve my goals. Moreover, people
may leave their home or their countries to attain their goals. I am far away from my family right now. I am in Atlanta and learning English, but when people have
some goals in their life to achieve, It shouldn't be so hard to sacrifice somethings. To sum up, I would sacrifice my current enjoyable life for my future career.
Great response. You have told me that you are willing to sacrifice your free time and location to obtain your future goals.
DeleteI think the first thing you have to do to be successful is to go out of your comfort zone. To take some risks, to find out what you want and go for it. You have to read to gain all the knowledge you can. Information is power, so you need to be available to learn, you have to be like a sponge, absorb everything you can. Therefore, you have to give up all the thing that stop you from achieve your goals. Start with little goals, everyday goals, every step will lead you to success.
ReplyDeleteFor example, to came here to Atlanta for me means that I needed to go out of my comfort zone. I was too comfortable in my home, but know I’m here alone. And to learn English is only one step closer to my goal. I’m a journalist and I want to become a tv producer, so step by step I hope to reach that.
Awesome response Genesis! People often have to leave their comfort zones to reach their goals. I am glad you realize that and have done so. I am certain your decision to come to America and leave your haven will make a great impact in your career as a journalist.
DeleteBeing succesful is something that not everybody can achieve. The reason why it is not easy is that you have to make sacrifices that you normally wouldn´t do. For instance, when the man asks "When you are underwater what do you wanna do?" and people answered "breath" is something really meaningfull. Personally i think that´s the most important piece of the video because it means that no sacrifice equals to no success. And maybe that´s what makes the difference between succesful and unsuccessful people. In line with the last two statements, coming here to Atlanta is an opportunity that not everybody have because of different reasons. But on the other hand, for those of us who are here it is not easy either. Personally, i had to left behind a comfortable lifestyle. Additionally i had to say goodbye to my family, friends, partys and all the people i love. However, i had in mind that it was something i had to do even knowing that it was not going to be easy as mentioned before. But that will be really useful for me to achieve mi goal of being a future CEO. In conclussion, if we want to achieve a goal we have to make sacrifices that will lead us to personal satisfaction in the future.
ReplyDeleteBest response this far. The fact that you mentioned a quote from the video lets me know that you watched it and understood it. Great job Santiago. I like how you gave more than one example of your sacrifices as well. KEPP UPP THE GOOD WORK! #salute. I am confident you will become CEO! ;)
ReplyDeleteTo the question: Do you want to be successful, there is nobody on the whole world refusing this question.
ReplyDeleteEveryone wants to be successful. The intention is one thing, but at the end what matters is how you become successful. the answer to that question is to focus on your priorities and to really know what you want to achieve in your life.
For example, you are studying to become successful and a friend calls you. He wants you to go to the party and he tells you that there are girls who are just waiting for you. Almost everyone would say: Are those girls pretty? Yes? Okey for sure im coming. But thats quite not persistant. It would be persistant if you tell your friend that you have no time for partying because you have to study.
For sure its important to have the balance between studying and having fun, but the most people are unbalanced and set the wrong priorities.
So I think that the only way to become successful is to be persistant with yourself.
