How can I be successful? Hmmm.... well first things first. I read a quote from "Inner Qualities of Successful People: Timeless Wisdom" and one really stood out to me:
"Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am force: I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in maze. My choice; responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny." --Elaine Maxwell
Why did this one stand out to me compared to all the rest? Only because it is true in every with way; well I believe so anyways. It is up to me, no one else, whether I make it through the hardships or decided to give up and pout. No one can make that choice for me but myself. If you don't believe me then watch Pursuit of Happiness. Now there is someone who has faced obstacles and conquered through them only because he pushed himself and knew that he was the only one that would be able to change his own life. No one else. As for responsibility, that is up to me how I can take it. I can abuse or use it the way I see fit. But I have to take the consequences that come with it. Whether they are good or bad.
This quote represents me in my everyday life. Just making the decision to go to school and be successful is a way I am creating me destiny. Some people may believe that destiny cannot be controlled that it is up to Him to control it for you. But mostly, in my own opinion at least, it is mostly how you choose to take your path that leads you to the place you are going to be in your future. Because I know that if I am successful in school and keep the habits I do now, I can use them towards college and apply myself better in that stressful school environment.
As for my senior capstone project.... Well even though I don't want to do it, especially with graduation around the corner, I have to push through it and take responsibility of whether I pass or not. I know that if it is a successful project, the time I put into it would be worth spending on it. But if I don't take the time out to do something with it....well....guess I won't be seeing that diploma anytime soon, now will I. Knowing that things are sometimes going to be rough and I don't like doing them... I have to. Because that is the only way obstacles can get in my way. I accept the challenge and wait for many more to come as well.
