Success

You know the tough thing about success? It doesn't come easy. Well at least not for most. Isn't that kind of a bummer? The thing that so many people desperately want, is so hard to get. Success requires focus, determination, perserverance, patience, and a passion. On top of having all those you have to combine them all and put them into action as you work toward your goal. For example, if you want to be a star runner, you've gotta work to be the best. You can't just say, I wanna be the fastest guy (or girl) out there, work out a few times, and hope that that's enough. No, you've gotta spend months, maybe years working out pretty much everyday. You have to push yourself, it you don't push yourself, how do you expect to get better? Probably not gonna happen.

I guess that's one of the problems we see in schools these days. Kids don't have any insentive to push themselves to learn, so they don't and the consequence is that kids not getting the knowledge or grades they want. Here in America most kids just care about good grades, not the actual knowledge, they take that for granted. In other parts of the world however, if you want to live a successful life, you need to spend extra time studying, learing and truly understading the stuff. I guess that fact that success is kind of hard to achieve is a good thing...I mean what would the world be like if everyone were successful. Where would they go from there?
