Successful Person


To me a person who is successful is my dad. He is successful in many ways. His business career is going well for him, he makes a pretty satisfiable amount of money, and he gets a lot of customers. Also his health is good, he has a balance between his work and out of work life, and he is a great dad! His success in life is due to his hard work 100%. He has put lots of blood, sweat, and tears into everything he has achieved, and so far, all of it has payed off for him. My dad is my role model, and he is a great example of how well hard work pays off! I think personally, that success is achieved through both talent and hard work. There is such thing as lucky people , but it isn't as up there as talent and hard work. First of all, having talent in what you are involved in is a great advantage! Think about it. Lets say for example you wanted to become a professional dancer, so you entered a contest that could give you recognition. Now, there were auditions for the very few spots there are in this competition, and lets say you didn't have any talent. You would probably have no chance in even getting in now would you. But, if you did, then you have have a greater advantage, and the possibility of you getting even a chance to audition and get into the competition increases much more! Talent is a great thing to have to help you out no matter what. Next, hard work is DEFINITELY needed to be successful. In this day and age, you can't just suspect that everything is going to be handed to you on a silver plate...you have to work for it! Even though it may get tough at times, my little piece of advice is to sweat it out because it really does pay off after! Example, you have just landed a new job! Yea, you're at the bottom of the food chain, but you work hard and prove yourself to be very useful! Things are going great, your boss promoted you, you get a raise, and you now have it easy so you start slacking thinking that you're set so you don't need to worry. Next thing you know, you get demoted and replaced by that shy, short and skinny guy who's new...This is a scenario in which your hard work didn't pay off.. If you achieve success, that doesn't mean you stop working hard, success and hard work come hand in hand...always remember that! This is what i think is necessary to become successful...talent, and hard work! =)
