Success

Success is the definition of everyone's life by setting goals and knowing your boundaries.

Success is achieving goals but accepting defeat when you know all possible options where exhausted and all effort was put forth.

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts"

Success is the feeling of accomplishment a person gets when they are happy with where they are in their own life.

"Failure defeats losers, failure inspires winners." - Robert T. Kiyosaki

"Screw it, let's do it!" - Richard Branson

Success

Success is not about how much I have in my bank account or how many people know my name, it is about the many  great memories and experiences I hold in  my mind, the abundance of love I hold in my heart, the countless lives I have touched, and the thousands of smiles that I wear in a day.

“Life-fulfilling work is never about the money – when you feel true passion for something, you instinctively find ways to nurture it.” Eileen Fisher, fashion designer

Success


        Success is knowing what you want to do and striding for greatness. Do not let anything hold you back in any way, shape, or form. 

        “If your ship doesn’t come in, swim out to meet it!”

Success

Success to me is successfully setting goals and than reaching those goals

"Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome"
 Booker Washington

Success

Success is doing your best and being happy when and how you do it.

"The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will." - Vince Lombardi

Success

Success is being happy and doing the things you enjoy. Its trying to be the best you can be.

” If you are not willing to risk the usual you will have to settle for the ordinary.” Jim Rohn
Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success. - Swami Vivekananda


Whatever you want to do in life, if you get it done, you are successful.
 

Shelby Eickhoff~Success

Success: Fulfilling ones life through happiness and achieving goals.
Quote: Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions. -Dalai Lama

"Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome." -Booker T. Washington

Definition- "To be successful, one has does not have to be rich, just to simply indulge in life and appreciate and never give up."

-Vinny Filiano

Success

Success is to fulfill a goal that you set for yourself.

" In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure."- Bill Cosby

Success

Finding success in life does not mean simply doing something you enjoy.  It also means doing something that challenges you every day.  It is meeting the challenge that brings the rewards.  That is the victory of life...rising up to meet a new challenge, learning through failure, and persevering to find the success for which you have worked so hard.

A couple of quotes that fit this definition are:

"Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew. They're what make the instrument stretch-what make you go beyond the norm."-Cicely Tyson

"Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging."-Joseph Campbell

Welcome back to school and welcome to the English IV blog!

Welcome to the HPS English IV blog for the 2013-2014 school year!  A goal of this course is for students to be critical members of the online world.   To do this, the class will create a blog.  The blog is intended to be a forum to not only share their thoughts about issues brought up in class, but also to reflect on their own views about society and life in general as they prepare to enter college.  Students will be expected to be regular contributors to the blog.  Students will also subscribe to at least one online blog.  This blog can fit into one of four categories:  a career they are interested in, college readiness, a social issue that is important to them, or a news blog.  Throughout the year, they will journal about the blog and evaluate it based on its possible biases and strengths and weaknesses.  School starts August 14!
