Post #2

Locke 3 Scholars,

Over the next few weeks, we are going to take an indepth look at success and what it takes to be successful.  We will be focusing on careers, choices and options.  

Most of what we do in class this week will be centered around the questions of "What is success, what does it look like, and what do I need to do to be successful right now and in the future"? 

-Mr. Nunley

  1. This says that if you try your best and believe that you can do something that you will be able to do it.
    this means that what ever you put your mind or try your best at something, that you are capable of doing it.
    This quote matters because,the fact of putting your mind into something and achieving it is a good/great thing.This can be tied to real life because, if you did or tried yo best to do something then you can do it. Another thing is that what ever you put your mind to and want, you can achieve and your are capable of achieving.

  7. 1) This is saying that success comes from within. You have to be satisfied with your own success to be successful.

    2) This means that if you believe in yourself and your own success then you are truly successful. If you are satisfied with your success and you know you did your best then you have won.

    3) I can apply this to my life by basically comparing it to myself and me knowing that not everyone will agree with me or approve but if i feel as if i was successful and I'm satisfied with myself and my success than i have won.

  8. - This quote to me is saying, as long as you know that you tried your best and did your best to become successful , that's all that matters.
    - This quote to me means , if you know that you did everything to be in the spot that you in know that's all that matters. If you put effort into becoming the best at what you do , don't feel down because you feel someone does something better than you , just realize that you put your all into it and that's all that matters.
    - This quote matters because knowing that you gave your all is the key to becoming successful. As long as you know that you did everything that you could possibly do , (meaning you gave your best) , is what really matters.

  9. It says that we will learn on what it takes to be a success.What this means is to always be prepared and learn on careers. So we can be prepared for our future. It matters to me so I can be focused. This can apply to my life because I wont be lost because if I am not prepared I can end up with a job I don't like. This to me is help I can get to be successful. So wasting my time not focusing is like the money I'm losing in my job. So i should have my plans for the future.

  10. I think that this say to be successful you got to try your best at something that you know you can't do.
    I thing this mean that what you put your mind to and if you try your best at it you can reach your goal and be successful at it.
    I think that this matter because you always have to try your to best to be successful but if you don't try your best it well come back and be a ass.

  12. It says that success is when you do your best and you know you tried.
    It means that to be successful you have to do your best and not give up. Also know you are doing it for your self and no one else.
    It matters because if you don't try and don't care you wont get nowhere. So its better if you do your best and be someone in life. Life will open doors for you if you have been successful and take you places. If you try little by little you will get where you want to be.

  13. This says that you become successful when you know that you tried your best to be as successful as you are.
    This means that if you see that you will succeed it's more likely that this optimist attitude will help you do so.
    in my life seeing as challenging as anyone else's i strive for success. success in school and in my relationships with those people around me who i think matter. it really doesn't take much considering that there are people who are helping me do just that. i'm trying to fix things that are crucial to me at the moment and every day i try to stay positive. things seem really difficult and unreachable yet if i put my effort in it, i know my time won't be wasted in vain.

  14. I think it's saying that if you keep believing in yourself then you will eventually become successful at doing it.

    I think this means if you keep doing what your are doing then you will become successful and that you can live your dream knowing you worked hard to get their.

    I think this matters because everyone wants to become successful and you can if you work hard and keep believing in yourself. Just keep going forward and you can live your dream.

  15. This says that there is more then one way to succeed if u try hard to reach for your goal then your already succeeding in life.Also it means that u can succeed when you try your best to achieve and that even though its tough with some hard work you can go to where u want to be.

    This matters because to succeed is very important in life if u don't succeed you will accomplish nothing and become nothing if u do not succeed then your dreams will never be reached and when u try to change it might be to late and your dream might be to far to reach but if u try hard u just might reach it after all

    2.This means that you should always try your hardest to become what you want to be.And, knowing that you did your best will make you feel accomplished and successful.

    3. It matters because you should always try your hardest. And, you should always give whatever your doing 100%. So, when you have completed it you know that you were successful at it.And, when you do your best you know what you are capable of so there for you will try harder to succeed in something bigger and better.

  18. -You are your happiness, and your happiness is your success. As long as we can make ourselves proud we'll definately be okay with whatever rewards come our way.
    - This quotes means that you can never be happy with what someone else does for you because it'll never be what you did for yourself. You'll always have that one doubt in your mind as to what couldve been done differently, but if you don't do it you wont be happy. The only way that you can make you dollars is to count your dollars.
    - This matters because its explaining to you and that no one can complete your life and fulfill your dreams the way you can. The effort you put into making your money and accomplishing your goals is up to you. No one can do it for you. You need to have the will power and the say so over how the things work in your life, to approve the outcomes of the way life turns out. This matters because its the encouragmnet you need to do things for yourself

  20. - This quote is saying if you work hard and do your best at something that your passionate about most of all you will achieve more than what you think you will accaomplish.

    - This means you will be more happy with your job when it's being done by you. You would be as happy when the job is being someone else.

    - This matters because if you don't do the job that you really love by your self then you wouldn't be living up to your dreams. When the job is being done by someone else then you not meeting your dreams. One you do your job and keep striving for it you know you will become the person in your and you will capable of managing what you love to do.
