“A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with
the bricks others have thrown at him,” once said by David Brinkley manifests the
idea that success comes from the experiences gained in life. When someone has
been through an array of predicaments, they learn from each one, a different
message strengthening the person more to face the next situation. A “successful”
man would acquire the newly found knowledge to structure their “foundation,” or
plan, to create a better life and succeed with their dreams.
Success is achieving our goals, our dreams, our potential
for anything. Success, whether for the poor, the working, the middle, or the
upper class, is reachable and attainable. The building blocks of success are obtained
from the mistakes made in the past, or the stories told by others, or the
advice given to us by the successful people themselves.
Experience is the key to success. Someone once wrote, “Experience
is the best teacher.” The quote that Brinkley wrote and this quote compare in a
way that explains Brinkley’s idea that the bricks thrown is experience,
knowledge obtained. Experience is the “A+” on a mathematics test, but for life.
When undergoing a problem, it’s worth the stress and the worry when the lesson
is revealed. Experience is gained and the problem is preventable from then on.
A goal, a dream, an ambition is anything a person wants to
take out of life. Imagination and the motivation to strive for success create
the foundation for a vision, i.e. business. Everyone has diverse interests and individual
dreams on what they would like to achieve in life, but the process to attaining
our goal is conquered the same way. Envision
the blueprints of the said aspiration, acquire as much knowledge attainable
through experience, and produce the final product.
When someone has a vision of opening their own business; a
law firm, a cupcake shop, a grocery market, a clothing store, they must have experience
for any kind of success. A successful outcome is a difficult and enduring
process that is not handed to us. A person is required to have a knack for
detail, a passion for organization and a commanding attitude. These could be
natural abilities; they are also abilities that could be gained. The experience
needed to create a successful business is used to accommodate the demands that
a successful business runs on. The knowledge and lessons thrown at us
throughout life are used as a base to the beginning of our successful lives.
I like your topic. It's about success and how experience can build into success, whether if it's a bad or good experience. I like how you give background information for both aspects too. It gives the readers a better idea on your entry. It builds up to your opinion and strengthens it. The only problem I see is that you didn't put a personal experience from you. But other than that, it's a good read.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your blog. It really speaks to people because everyone, no matter who they are, has a goal that they want to achieve and experience is something that is needed no matter what the goal may be. The last paragraph definitely shows this. Whatever someone wants to be, experience will help them get there. Whether it be a natural talent or talent from practice, the more experience gained from it, the more successful that person will be.
ReplyDeleteGood post.
You chose a great topic! I feel the exact same way about success and how or what you have to do to get there. You made a great point when you said "A successful outcome is a difficult and enduring process that is not handed to us" which is true, you have to work for your success your not like Princess Tianna and just get it fed to you on a silver platter. I enjoyed your blog, great post!
ReplyDeleteEveryone should live by this saying; too many people quit after they encounter hardships, and that's why being a quitter totally sucks. Obvi if we didn't have so many quitters there would not be as much of a low success rate in America when it comes to starting businesses or running a large company. If an idiot is CEO to a large company, OBVI that company would suck. The most successful people are the ones that endured the most pain, for example J.K. Rowling, that woman was out on the streets, practically homeless, writing her soon to be most famous novels on napkins and toilet paper in sleazy motel rooms, look at her now, billionaire. Life isn't about fearing what would happen if you fail, it's more fun to live on the daring side that is motivated to succeed.
ReplyDeleteThis topic is highly intriguing, and indeed success stems from mistakes and hardships. The most important aspect to gaining success is getting back up after these mistakes and taking what you can from that positively, then building on that learned quantity. I also agree with your section collating experience with success, the most successful people are going to be the one's whom have spent their blood and tears on that said field. Success blossoms out of hard work. Great post!
ReplyDeleteGreat post (: I agree fully with the concept that success doesn't come out of nothing, that you have to work hard to achieve. Your word choice, your argument was compelling. I don't see how anyone could disagree.It's like body builders, you don't get buff like that overnight.Though some people have certain knacks for things, in all people have to work exceedingly hard to achieve greatness. Your post does great at capturing that concept.
ReplyDeleteI fully agree with your post. It's impossible to grow as a person without making mistakes and ,sure, at the time it'll seem impossible to get through the problem (I mean..you just were just hit with a brick. After tackling so many issues you no longer feel like the world is against you, but, rather, in your favor helping you to learn and improve. You did a great job illustrating the strength that comes with knowledge and the power that comes with it.
