Re: What is Success by Andy Lau

So, what is success? Success cannot be defined with only a few words or that it has only one meaning. I looked upon Andy Lau's post and I thought that he defined success rather well. He wrote:
"Success means many things to people. To me success describes a positive result or wished-for ending through the achievement of goals. The key to success lies in hard work and perseverance. Ultimate success in life can only come from hard work." - Andy Lau
In his blog post, I agree with what he had said. Success can be a positive result in the end or success can a result in which you are happy with. To me, success is just getting the result that had met your goal. I have a lot of experience in which success is just meeting my goal.

In the past, I had thought that success was getting good grades. When I had ever received a bad grade in which it is probably a D or an F, I would push myself to become better to raise my grades. An example of this would be last year when I was almost failing at history when I learned that I had those grades during quarter grades. I didn't show my grades to my parents and decided to help myself by pushing myself. I began to do my history homework carefully and began to study for tests as much as I could possibly can. I ended that semester with a B in that class and I was happy that I was able to do so. To my, that would be the definition of success.

Now, I think of success as being just happy of doing something whether it was a project or an essay. As long as I believe that I did it well and that I had spent effort in it, I believe that it is success. After a hard day's work and that I am able to finish is considered success to me. These experiences of success guide me to strive to become better and not lose hope within myself.
