Success is an incredibly influential word. Throughout the world we live in, there are many people who are considered successful. They might be our favorite singers, artists, athletes, and actors. Their hard work and success is what inspires us each and everyday. While we unfortunately may not become famous from our hard work, we should still be motivated to succeed in our goals. The journey towards success demands that we understand our goals and confidently work hard to achieve them. No one has ever become successful with just the snap of their fingers. Success is also not considered simple. Hard work is the key to success. If time and hard work isn’t invested, success will not be achieved. “If you work hard enough and assert yourself, and use your mind and imagination, you can shape the world to your desires” (Gladwell 151). Gladwell expresses to us that through hard work and perseverance, we will find success in our personal goals. About a year ago, I had an unexpected surgery on my ankle. I was scared. I wasn’t able to do anything. I encountered mental and physical obstacles. While my sisters went on bike rides around the neighborhood, I would sit inside on the couch and think about how much I wanted to exercise, let alone walk. As I was released to walk, I went to physical therapy, I was determined to push myself to regain strength. I worked hard, until I was released to play sports. I worked on regaining my strength and endurance, and I never gave up because I had an interminable passion and determination inside of me. Nobody wakes up with all of their goals accomplished. Patience is crucial on the journey to success, along with a tough mentality. Don’t give up, great achievements take time!
