Only tolerating “A” players has made him as successful as he is today. He has turned the New England Patriots into a dynasty. Twelve division titles n fifteen years is a heck of an accomplishment, so there should be no complaining that his style of coaching has been successful. Belichick believes in breaking you down to build you back up. Although this is not the most acclaimed procedure of motivation, that’s the Belichick way.
I have worked hard to build a trustworthy reputation to safely operate a reactor and perform maintenance, and I also understand that it only takes me making one poor decision to destroy the admiration for my integrity that I have worked so hard to gain. It was once said by the founding father of nuclear power, Admiral Hyman Rickover, “I believe it is the duty of each of us to act as if the fate of the world depended on him. Admittedly, one man by himself cannot do the job. However, one man can make a difference... We must live for the future of the human race, and not for our own comfort or success.”(Rockwell, 1992) I could not agree more with this quote. Ultimately, everyone must work together and perform to the standard that has been set for us.
There are no secrets one can use to become successful. Success truly is the result of preparation, hard work and learning from failure. Preparation is a key component of success. Gladwell states, “Achievement is talent plus preparation” (38). While Gladwell’s statement is generally true, psychologists argue that preparation plays a bigger role in achievement

Thomas started out as a curious young boy who was infatuated with machines, and other laws of the world. He always tried to know how everything worked. As Thomas grew, he became an inventor, and either tried to make something that one could not, or would invent something on his one. Due to the fact that Thomas Edison may have borrowed some ideas from someone else, some people believe that Thomas may not be worthy to be on Mount Rushmore. However, he had earned over 1,093 U.S. patents (a government authority to sell an invention for a period of time), and simply took a step further with the borrowed ideas, making it possible for the invention to be a success.
The last time the Federal Government has passed any law affecting fracking was in 1988, before many modern techniques have been adopted [ (Bergeron, 2011) ]. Fracking, although very beneficial and the best process of attaining natural gas, is just too dangerous. The U.S. government is still debating this controversial topic, and very likely will be for many months to come. Safety is very important to maintaining a strong and efficient country; the maintenance of this goal should not be difficult with government regulation of fracking locations. It is very simple - the United States Federal Government needs to take a good hard look at their current regulation on U.S. fracking locations for the safety of our American
NOVEL STUDY: LANCE ARMSTRONG, IT’S NOT ABOUT THE BIKE Chapter 1: Before and After “Cancer would change everything for me, I realised; it wouldn’t just derail my career, it would deprive me of my entire definition of who I was.” Looking through chapter one, Lance Armstrong defined himself as someone who is impatient and loves to do things quickly and swiftly. This is shown where he says on page 1, ‘I don’t do anything slow, not even breathe. I do everything at a fast- cadence.” The things that made him believe he was the happiest man in the world were his career, his support from his mother and his never broken ego. Chapter 2: The Start Line “Your past forms you whether you like it or not.” Both positive and negative influences helped to form and mould young Lance into the rebellious boy he was. Lance shares how close he is to his family and how his
Scientists have been creating numerous inventions for human in order to make our lives easier and quicker, within all the inventions, a good amount of them have actually caused millions of deaths and injuries; making people starting to rethink whether scientists are responsible for what they have/are going to invent regarding the consequences the inventions may lead to. In the book Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut, this question has became to the most controversial topic among readers. The answer for the question should be a solid “no” due to the following reasons. Firstly, the intension of scientists while they were creating a new invention was definitely not to cause any harm but to make the world a better place for us human beings; second of
Later on in his life something incredible happened, Thomas Edison offered him $100,000 to go and work for him. He turned it down, the reason why he turned it down is because he thought he was doing just fine where he was at. He made his students work really hard, he wanted them to get it all right. He would use this other phrase if they would tell him “its about right”, he would say “about right don’t tell me ‘its about right’. if its ‘about right’ than its wrong”.
As Bill Gates once said, “Patience is a key element of success.” This quote is true. Without patience, Gates would have never created Microsoft. It took Thomas Edison thousands and thousands of tries before he created the light bulb. We would still be using candlelight today, if Thomas Edison would not have had patience for his creation. I am a big dreamer.
