THE KEYS OF SUCCESS
I believe the Keys of Success are: Education, hard work, perseverance and Positive Attitude, because all of these have helped me achieve my goals.
Education is the most important tool you can receive. Education reduces the challenges you will face in life. The more knowledge you gain, the more opportunities will open up to allow individuals to achieve better possibilities in career and personal growth. Education allowed the community to succeed socially and economically. Doctors have been close to finding cures for cancer because of higher education; our technology has been enriched because of education. Education is the most powerful key which you can use to change the world.
Also I believe hard work is another key of success, because to succeed in life one must endure the challenges to be the best possible person than one can be. I believe for one to be successful, he or she must be willing to work hard to succeed in any aspect of life. Hours of hard work, training and dedication are the keys of success. No doubt, success is the reward for hard work. Every successful person in history has worked hard to gain fame or fortune. No matter what our goals are, we must be willing to sacrifice our time, body and mind to work as hard as we can to be the best that we can be.
Perseverance is another Key of Success, because perseverance is an attitude of persisting, one single idea, discipline or ideal to achieve success. To achieve a goal in spite of facing numerous difficulties, obstructions, failure or setbacks is good. I identify a lot with this word, because since I started studying English in San Mateo Adult School, I have always been persevering despite having many difficulties and failures, I still have my goal of learning English and finishing my GED, and then go to College and Study Business.
You will succeed if you have a positive attitude, believe in yourself, build positive habits, make wise choices, set and achieve goals, use your imagination and persist, keep working toward your goal and dreams, and you will become a career success.
In order to fulfill your first success, your education is a very important step to start with. Besides, you need to make the necessary sacrifices to accomplish your goals, like working hard, being perseverant, and possessing positive attitudes are very important keys of success.
