The Factors Affecting Person’s Success
Success is usually assumed to be associated with a large sum of wealth and a high level of fame. Spiritual Philosopher, Richard St. John mention "success is a continuous journey. " That is revealed success is the golden result after a heavy struggle and luck with a specific work, that you passionate about. I believe that success is not only associated with one thing or a person. Factors like family, support, financial condition, luck, opportunities and traits such as dedication, passion, and mindset play vital roles to achieve a goal. Family income influences a kid's future. In the text, Marita's Bargain mentioned that "the wealthier kids come back in September and their reading scores have jumped more than fifteen points whereas, the poorest kids come back from holiday and their reading scores have dropped almost four points. "
Difference test score between low-income and high-income students happens because low-income parents do not have time for their kid's education because they were too busied to improve their financial condition. In high- income family students get more resources, support, facilities, and good reading environment which results in more effective and positive improvement compared to low-income family students. I believe encouragement and support positively effect to someone's achievement because everyone needs help when he or she starts their journey. Also, it is true every person has someone behind their success. One beautiful smile and the heart touchable word mean a lot to build one's confidence. Even a fixed mindset person tends to lose a track sometimes because of distraction stuff like money. A bad situation may force people to think money is everything and success can achieve if you have money but at the same time, they forget money cannot buy happiness, and they get distracted. Philosopher Richard St. John said, "self-confident and support is the important traits in a journey towards success. "
Considering the thought of Richard, I think even distracted people may come to their track if they get support from someone on time. Our luck and opportunities have an enormous impression on achieving success. "The lesson here is very simple. But it is striking how often it is overlooked. We are so caught in the myths of the best and the brightest and self-made that we think outliers spring naturally from the Earth. (pg-268)" The quote from Marita's bargain explains success is not only base on ones' traits or grit, but more about how many opportunities you get and how you utilize them. Philosopher Roman said, "luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. " This quote prompts that we make our luck.
