Obstacles In Ivan Chino's Keys To Success

A review of Eric Lius', The Accidental Asian, and his search for self-discovery. Looking at how his experiences growing up relate to current and future generations of students who are trying to find where they belong in this ethnically structured society. Through Liu’s experiences, we can understand the struggle of identity and help students find their own. Finding that we do not have to have a strong connection to our heritage to have a strong identity and looking for our roots does not make us any less of the person we are now. Breaking stereotypes and understanding others is how we can help students in the future.

In the article “What if the Secret to Success is Failure?” By Paul Tough, Tough wrote an article about educators, psychologist, and sociologist doing research and experiments on if character is important to the success of students. Randolph, who is 49, is the administrator of a competitive school and is leading the charge on if character is really important piece on helping students get better in school. First Randolph experimented with using character report cards that students would be tested on and that teachers would personally grade the student(self-evaluation). Then Randolph would see what was more important, Moral or Character? After a month of not seeing how his program was doing at KIPP Middle school, he returned to find out that

success is not on your own terms, if it looks good to the world but does not feel good in your heart, it is not success at all.” ― Anna Quindlen. Success is something everyone has, to be successful in life, school, or any other thing. I want to be successful in school. The way I could be successful in school is like having a tutor, ask my teacher, study, and use a planner or organizer to be on track. In the story Kewauna’s Ambition by Paul Tough ways she was successful in school she got herself a tutor to help her on her homework. Also like in Marita’s Bargain by Malcolm Gladwell she moved to KIPP school to have a better future.

Success will only be given to the person who creates it on his or her own. Michael Shaara put this theme in the frontlines of his book The Killer Angels a historical novel about the battle of Gettysburg. Shaara uses the battle to prove not just how people earn success but also perceive it. What each commander does and how it affects the battle overall show just how much somebody’s action affects the outcome. The Killer Angels also shows the consequences of one’s decisions and how this can lead them down or off the path of success. The way someone perceive success and what you do to achieve it can be just as important as the end product. The actions of the commanders, whether they be victories or defeats, shows

Success is a concept that is constantly altered and has a different meaning from person to person. The stereotypical definition of success would be someone who has a high-paying job or is in the upper-class. Malcolm Gladwell, the author of Outliers: The Story of Success, approaches the concept of success in a different and unique way. Gladwell discusses how opportunities, cultural legacy, and hard work all coincide with each other to produce real success. He uses mostly logic and multiple unrelated anecdotes to support and provide evidence for his statements. Gladwell 's main argument is that although hard work and talent are essential for success, one’s given opportunities and cultural legacy are what really drive them to the pinnacle of success.

Taking a stand is what really counts, standing up for others or even for yourself is more important than winning. You can win at anything but standing up, at least you can say you tried even if you do not succeed. Winning is not everything, you get two minutes of fame and success but then you go straight back to how you were. With taking a stand, you try and do your best and help others even if you do not think you will succeed at least you can say you have tried your best. Taking a stand is more important than winning in any situation that anyone can be in.

“Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome,” stated

Think of success like watching a tree grow the branches split into different paths one can take each split is another opportunity to prosper and grow beautiful leaves like trophies. An uncommon belief is that the process of becoming successful is like a tree branch, if one starts off strong, more paths appear growing from the sturdy branch, and achieving goals lead to leaves growing to show wealth. “It is those who are successful, in other words, who are most likely to be given the kinds of special opportunities that lead to further success,” (Gladwell 30). Author of nonfiction book Outliers: The Story of Success, Malcolm Gladwell, agrees with this uncommon belief, in his book he argues that success does not come from intelligence or passion

Everybody has a different definition of success. Success can be interpreted into having happiness, having knowledge, and being financially stabled. Most people describe it as being patient and having a positive mindset. Malcolm Gladwell, author of Outliers, demonstrated how without the knowledge of other cultures, there are many things that people won’t consider questioning or realizing about it. He also showed how people need to adapt to a new culture in order to achieve success since it affects how society deals with culturism today. Some cultural legacies have very high standards than others into achieving goals and dreams. Cultural legacies impact today’s

In the life there are a lot of challenges which builds the person and give him/her the power. Whenever there was a great goal, the desire to reach it will be stronger. Successful person who does not give up and achieves his goals with all the insistence and determination. Mostly, objectives fall within the framework of values as stated in the book American Ways by authors Maryanne Kearny Datesman, Joann Crandall, and Edward N. Kearny. The most prominent values sought by the person are the individual freedom, equality of opportunity, and material wealth. In fact, for each value of these values at a price to be paid: self-reliance, competition, and hard work. In order to individual freedom it has to be self-reliance, and for equality of opportunities

Explicit plans in the first step will become futile if we do not take action. Merely hoping for chances does not help us get good outcomes. Whoever just waits for chances to knock their door is unlikely to reach success; therefore, taking action as well as working hard is the key for us to catch more

In our world, people usually associate success with either money, money, or money. Success shouldn’t be about how much money we earn, how good our job is, or how famous we are. It should be about our own personal goals and aims in life. I think everyone’s definition of success is different. For each individual, success is something that makes them feel proud. For example, someone can be successful if his/her passion was to travel and they make an impact on the world, and they end up achieving their goals that means that they had success. It doesn’t have to revolve around how good ones job is or what their salary is.

The term of success appears frequently in public notice and it spurs extensive interests in public. Everybody wants to achieve success, but the fact is that not everyone can make it even though he or she has tried his or her best. Then it comes to a question - how to make it? Does it depend on opportunity or any other features? Different people have different opinions.

THESIS: As a product of society’s “equal” meritocracy, we must find a scale for our actions by comparing our successes and failures to others, creating status anxiety, resulting in our idea of success being relative to our peer’s success.
