(PART 2)

      A quote like “The starting point of all achievement is desire” can benefit my life because if I live by this quote, it will become a lot easier for me to achieve my goal in the future. If I love what I am planning for my future, a problem such as finding a preparation for that career boring will never happen. For instance, if I choose to become a doctor because I  want the money that a doctor earns and does not really have the will to what doctors do, I will for sure not become successful on that particular field . Throughout the process of picking all the sciences and giving myself a hard time, I will plainly not make it to the end but also waste all the time, opportunities and effort to things I am not eager about. Passion is what brings you to success, not the desire of money.

   

      Being confident about myself that I can be whatever I want to be will give me the determination to continue working hard for it. A quote like “All progress takes place outside the comfort zone” is one example that I have to believe that I am capable of doing things I am scared to try and must be done in order to have the career I want to have. For example, if I want to be an accountant, I shouldn't be frightened to take tough courses such as functions and other mathematics or accounting- related courses just  because I've heard people crying over its difficulty. I have to believe myself that I can get the mark I need and want because it is for the sake of my dream. The person that gives up easily does not get what the person wants and leaves him/her regretting of not picking lifting himself/herself  from the ocean of fear when the dream is not achieved.

       Success does not come overnight. I have to work for it step by step. step by step meaning I have to assume this early of my level in education that I am already working hard on my dream. If I do not study well this year because I am thinking that it does not matter because I am only in grade 11 then I would have a hard time in a few years from now achieving my goal. I only need to find what I really want and will never find things too difficult about doing it. One of some things I have to consider to live by from now on for my success in the future is“The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.”
