Road to Success Comes Through Hardwork
The road to success comes through hard work, determination, and personal sacrifice

I would like to break this winning formula down into "easy to chew" bite-sized chunks. In doing so, we will look at four smaller nuggets of truth. The first nugget is: "THE
ROAD TO SUCCESS," the second is: "HARD WORK," the third: "DETERMINATION," and the fourth nugget worthy of a closer look is: "PERSONAL SACRIFICE."
For our conclusion, I will ask, "Who will answer this call?" Let us get started with the first nugget of truth, "THE ROAD
TO SUCCESS." The road to success starts within a heart that wants to be the best at something--a heart, mind, and soul that does not want to be ordinary, but extraordinary.
These words of hope come from the roots of our country's heritage where ordinary people, who have a dream, work hard to achieve.
Let these words of truth breathe life into the core of your bones. Winners never look for the easy way out. They simply look at the impossible, and say to themselves to set their heart upon this lofty dream and chase after it with their whole heart. The road to success is narrow, and many will miss it because the road to failure is broad and easy. Plant your feet firmly upon the rock of your desire to become the best. It is easy to fail; do not work hard, and do not have a dream--that is all it takes. However, that is all right, because somewhere out there is an ordinary person hoping that is exactly what you are doing--nothing. Yes, the road to an average, mediocre life is easy, but for those who have a dream, the road to success is another story. Count the cost before you start down this road; for in a month, or in a year will you still be fighting to become the best? Oh, but the road to success is filled with life, happiness, and sweet, sweet victory! Are you ready to travel down this road to success no matter what the price? Learn to enjoy the journey and be committed to the long haul to achieve your heart's desire.
Let
us now turn to the second

    It's 7am, Monday July 26th 2004. The sun has just risen up and it's already reached 92 Degrees. I'm sweating out of control and out of breath just like the other Sixty- Five teenage boys here. The smell of grass is strong and unpleasant and there is no shaded area in site. The line for water is like a mile long and were all fighting like mad men to get a sip. My legs are burning from the running, my arms hurting from the endless pushups and I'm holding on to the fence to stand up. My whole body is just ready to collapse and don't know if I could do this much longer .In my head I could hear my Moms voice saying " If you want something in life you have to work hard for it nobody is going to give it to you. I hear a whistle blowing and a voice saying "Alright boys your break is over get ready for more sprints". To some people this may sound like I'm in hell but this is what I had to go through in the summer of 2004 just to play football.…

    I think a personal philosophy of success should be a hope or dream to both people who want to achieve a dream in the future and to people who hasn’t achieved their dream in life. For instance, someone has many degrees of higher education; but has the need to want a higher degree; so his/her philosophy of success would be to get a senior degree. Another example would be someone who doesn’t have anything in life; but want to achieve a dream to make his/her life worthy; so his/her philosophy would be to earn a dream that he/she has been yearning. I would be one of those people who have a diploma; but want to achieve a superior degree. As I quote from Albert Einstein “The ideals which have lighted me on my way and time after time given me new courage to face life cheerfully, they have been Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. . . . The ordinary objects of human endeavor -- property, outward success, luxury -- have always seemed to me contemptible.” This quote makes me think of my background, where I came from, how far I’ve come, and looking back at all the people who have supported me in life. My personal philosophy of success would be to achieve my personal dream as a doctor. I have had the dream of one day becoming a doctor since the death of my grandparents and the people around me that are sick, dying, and in need of medical care. I always wanted to be the person who saves another life. I want to be an example for my peers, my children, and children peers. I want to be someone that both my generation and the generation that follows to respects, honor and follow not only in my footsteps; but in other honorable wonderful successful individuals who make something of themselves. I am strongly willing to bring forth my dream by preventing and stopping anything that comes in the direction of my path to success. For example: drugs, alcohol, and peer pressure. I think those three things will not prevent me from not achieving my goals if I wasn’t as strong as I am today. My most…

    Have you ever wondered what it means to set goals? Well, goal setting means to make a plan for yourself which you like to achieve so that after every goal you can feel good. After completing every goal you will feel great! Like Psychologist Carol Dweck says “having a growth mindset you Believe the harder you work, the better you can become”.

    My Visionary self is usually the driving force of my ambitions for life, love, success, educational goals, and so on. I sometimes question whether this is a development of my own doing or has it been created by the interaction between others and myself. For instance my parents have been supportive and promising in all the decisions I make for myself. They have given me the ability to think for myself as well as my future. Although they allowed me to make most of my own decisions one thing my parents enforced and placed in my future was attending college.…

    Success to me is setting personal goals, and following through with them. Whether you achieve your desired result or not, you have succeeded just by trying. "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; who's face is marred by dust, sweat, and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew…

    When I was born my father had to leave Peru. He left my mother and I to go to the United States. He didn’t leave my mother and I because he didn’t love us anymore. He left us so that he could go work his butt off. He wanted his wife and his son to have a better life. He wanted me to have opportunities that he couldn’t have for himself. Three and a half years passed by, I turned three years old. We had everything we needed. My father never stopped sending us money. Three and a half years that I didn’t get to see my father. Three years a son without a father, I can’t even begin to imagine how my mother felt. My mother always reminds me how I would always ask about him. I was so young and I didn’t have my father by my side. I didn’t know who he was. I could only imagine him from the stories my mother would tell me about him.…
