Writing Chain : ""Success is anything people think it is" by Class 25

Hi, this essay is about success in your life. It makes sense, and I think it turned out okay. Because I wasn't here on that day, I didn't participate in this essay when my classmates were writing this. But I like it when I changed it a little bit. If I were there on that day, I would not have done saying that the person who wrote before me is wrong, because it doesn't really make sense when you do that. But for overall after I revised it, I think this essay would be the one what makes you think one more time about your life. Enjoy!

 Success is anything people think it is. Everybody's view of success is different. For instance, a terrorist's success might be taking over the whole government of USA, a dog's sucess might be earning a lot of bones buried under the soil, and maybe a studentt's success might be getting straight A's

 Well, there are some common ways that mostly leads to success in your life. I will talk about 3 major ways in this essay.

 First, it's a matter of effort. If you give a lot of effort on something, nothing is impossible. For example, my friend, he wanted to get more than 90 in average on the final exam this semester. And he really studied hard to do that, which made it possible for him to achieve his goal.

 Secondly, success is reaching your destination, or your goal. Let's talk about money. Almost everybody wants to get rich when they grow up, or get a job that makes a lot of money. Money is the main symbol of success. The origin of the world 'sucesss' is the Latin word 'sucioustixourious', which means 'full of gold'. So basically the success is something that matters with money, at least in ancient time. Let's take a look at Bill Gates. We call him 'successor' because he is a billionaire who has bazillion of dollars. Money is surely one of the most important thing for making you a 'successor' in your life.

 Third is doing anything to succeed. but before going on to my tip, I want to make things clear that were said earlier in this essay. Success is not limited to one side, thus what I mean by the last paragraph is tha being rich might be a goal for somebody, meaning 'success' to them, at least. I believe that success could be more about satisfaction and happiness. Actually, the happiness index of developing countries are higher than those in developed country. This shows that there could be more important things for somebody than money and that the meaning of 'success' can be different for somebody. But the most important things for success, even success have all different meanings to each person, is that we should make our full effort and do our best for everything to achieve it.

 Trying to success means working hard for your goal, but if you hurt someone during the process, you should think about your true desire one more time. If you are trying to succeed for everyone's happiness including yours, that's great. Go with it.

 Your success is up to you. How to get to it in your own way is a problem you have to solve on your own during the rest of your life. Look aroud, there are people by your side who can help you. Ask them for help, and help yourself. It's okay to make mistakes, you really get to learn from mistakes. Mistakes could be faster way to succeed in your life. Wake up and start working for your goal from this moment. Good luck!
