Thinking about Success


(In terms of economic success, my ratings of most important to least)





Hard work~

This is such a basic and fundamental sort of building block, that it almost falls into a now rare category... With economic success, of course nothing will really happen without it. Nothing will come of merely expecting results to improve by sitting around and twiddling thumbs. Success has to be earned, back-breakingly so, hard work is the foundation of building success up to become great. Without it, there would be nothing but a half-done job that is hardly adequate.

Skill~

Skill would be important in order to have a sort of mindset and ability to even perform a task. I think success can come from anything that has the right skill set to accomplish a task, it is what defines a person's performance in different tasks. Specifically, in economic success, it would be more skill and knowledge-based, two things I think fall in the same category. Basically... Correct measurement of skill are important and help identify useful areas of policy improvement. A country’s entire fundamental development depends on its economic success and the countries that foster high levels of skills in their population will better improve themselves and thrive in long term intervals. How else would anything manage to be accomplished in the task to better improve or move things forward?

Opportunity~

Another very important factor in any kind of success. As mentioned before skill is important, specifically it is important in being able to seize, create, and see opportunity. Opportunity is what could allow for a huge breakthrough, or a chance to spread knowledge or power... or even to further improve economic success further by itself. It is like an opening into the great garden that presents itself, but only a few can actually see it and are given the chance to take it, in which rewards would be reaped, in this case, it means more chance of income for work usually done.

Luck~

Perhaps one of the hit or miss tactics of things, but it can still play a role in jumping economic success into a state of, well... success. While it isn't something to be relied on overly much, there are times when certain decisions and outcomes are left up in the air leaving nothing but hope for luck to deliver a favorable outcome. Many might disagree and say that luck is important, but personally, I think hard work is far more rewarding in terms of outcomes for economic success... it gives proper rates and ideas needed instead of throwing the hands up and praying. It also helps people who have worked themselves to death to sit back and have a bit of a breather while letting lady luck decide.

Party Guest List (Historical/Hidden Figures Version)

Image
Guest List/invites: 1.) Katherine Johnson. I would invite this woman out of pure respect and awe. I believe someone who has the bravery to stand up for what is right would be an excellent friend to have and would doubtlessly provide sense to a crazy party if it were needed. 2.) Taraji P. Henson. I would certainly invite this young woman. She seems as if she is a very down to Earth and adaptable type of person, I feel like she would help get a few laughs out of people and overall be a rather relatable friend. 3.) Mary Jackson. I feel like this would be our little beauty and queen of dance. She'd likely be the one making sure the games and decorations were just right and still would show up and outshine the rest, leading everyone into a great time! 4.) Janelle Monáe. I feel as if this young woman would be the life of the party! And certainly, the one to bring entertainment through performing for everyone and making sure everyone has fun. 5.) Dorothy

Confederacy Ideas Study

Image
There is a difference between Battle Flag and the simple confederate flag, often confused. I learned from analyzing what leaders of the Confederacy said about reasons for seceding the United States was  the Southern states ' desire to preserve the institution of slavery, to keep their true principle of what they thought was the truth For the battle flag of the Confederacy, I used to think of it standing in general as just something people united under sharing similar ideals, though having grown up in Arizona, white supremacy or southern pride wasn't present in my life until later... I now realize it, in fact, stands for the men who lost their lives fighting for a cause, later branching off into much different supposed ideals. I think it is more than possible to separate the battle flag from the stated goals of others using a similar or same version of the flag design as they stood for less overall ideals and more personal ones of the time that distracted the flag's

Paraphrase Practice

"Lincoln believed slavery was immoral, but he also considered the 13th Amendment a masterstroke in cutting away the financial foundations of the Confederacy.  I've rarely been more aware than during Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" that Abraham Lincoln was a plain-spoken, practical, down-to-earth man from the farmlands of Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois. He had less than a year of formal education and taught himself through his hungry reading of great books." -Roger Ebert's Lincoln Movie Review Lincoln was supporting and thought of the idea of slavery being an overall wrong, or inhumane, way through the ideas of personal standards in a consciousness of a human. He thought the 13th Amendment to be a brilliant way of chipping at the economic or money base ground point of the Confederacy. Like many Steven Spielberg very conscious in seeing how simple, blunt, realistic, and focused male of the countryside of Kentucky, Indian, and Illinois. This ma
