Belief About The Way To Succeed

The success of life is not as simple as wealth measuring or status confirmation, but a destination. In general, success could mean the realization of something. Therefore, the success of a person’s life can be comprehended as successfully creating the inner state the person wants. Shifting to the differentiation of success and fortune, it is not a process to figure out which one is superiority and which one is inferiority. Meanwhile, the topic is focused on the outcome of each factor towards success. Efforts are intrinsic to success, while fortune could magnify the gain after efforts. Doing nothing but waiting for a stroke of good fortune holds the little possibility to succeed, but working hard without a fluke is common on successful people. Now, why efforts matters? It plays a decisive role in the improvement of original conditions, for the reduction in uncertainty, for the feasibility to put into action.

 

  • A Theory Of Human Motivation. [Book]

    The book is by the psychologist Abraham Maslow in 1943. It is a classic book about human’s demand and it is available almost every library and book store. Maslow introduced a hierarchy of needs. In the hierarchy, physiological needs present as elementary needs and the highest pursuit, which is on the top of the hierarchy, is the need for self-actualization. It helps define the “success” in a psychological aspect and support the “effort”, which develops the person’s mental value on the way to succeed.  It helps develop the topic in a further area and thus increase the depth of the journal.

  • Top 10 Lottery Fails Ever. [Website]

    The article is at the website playhugelottos.com. It is published by the administrator in 2017.

  •  The Secret to Student Success [Video]

    This video is about Arel Moodie’s lecture in Tedx in 2017. It has been posted on Youtube. Arel Moodie gave a wonderful speech to state you don’t have to be the smartest or most skilled person to succeed. The key is efforts. It directly supports my argument and the speaker improves credibility. Arel Moodie is a best-selling writer and has served as a guest speaker at the White House and has been recognized by President Obama. Its doubt about talent, which is also a type of fortune, also debates the significance of fortune. Speaking to its disadvantage, it does not argue the fortune directly.

    The news is by BBC Two channel in 2019. Tu Youyou was awarded as the greatest scientist in the 20th century, same as Einstein and Madame Curie. Tu Youyou’s Nobel Prize broke several Chinese records: the first Chinese scientist who did not receive an academician and did not publish an “SCI” paper. Because she had no doctorate, no educational background overseas, nor an academician title, she was dubbed the “three no” scientist. Her spirits of toiling for decades and overcoming hard conditions fit the topic of hard working. The news is from an authoritative organization and really inspires people. It shows that efforts triumph over bad luck. Its shortage is porbably her background. Before her success, she had already been a scienctist and her story cannot relate to common people quite easily.
