However, when properly used, the Triple Package leads to success and can be efficiently self-taught. One of the traits of the Triple Package includes a superiority complex. As Chua mentioned, sometimes group superiority can result in disastrous effects. However, many people have superiority instilled in the form of personal superiority. This personal superiority gives us a drive to be better than others and encourages us to strive for success.
“The Sports Taboo” by Malcolm Gladwell explores the factors why some people are more successful than others, as well as the stereotypes that come along with it. He discovers that race and gender are not the main reasons but others of far greater significance are. First, in order to be successful an individual should care and have the desire to go further. Second, some genetic aspects can put a person at an advantage than others. Third, an environment that is conducive to the person helps shape the outcome of success.
The board of directors must by law be composed of volunteers, which can be an advantage to the company. These are also internal factors that have helped the organization be successful that it will want to leverage and grow. Asset leverage; Loyal customers; Market share leadership; Diversified products. They are all the strengths of the ALL. Asset leverage allows ALL to use their best operational assets to expand their business and improve their market share.
I for one find success in someone who lives in a humble manner, is free of any debt, takes care of his family, and lives a good Christian lifestyle, to be a success. Many do not share my point of view on success. Some people feel that if you just have money, you’re a success. Having money does not make you a success, it is quite possible to be a wealthy failure. Wealth without morals isn’t success at all, or at least, not in my standards.
By only donating money that we spend on things not necessary to survive we are still able to live a life that is comfortable and the idea of rich and poor people can be thrown away. Though this could probably only be achieved with government intervention, the possibilities are endless. Of course a big downside to this idea is the fact that we work hard for our money. It can seem like a waste to give it away after we work long and hard to obtain it. Another con is that after living with an excess of everything for so long, the people who are most prosperous might not be as willing to give it up.
These factors that many think that could be adversarial are race, gender, sexual orientation, and pedigree. Those people believe that all those components will be a problem to some who think that just working hard is enough to become successful. Although many people such as Horatio Alger, the author of “Ragged Dick”, have different opinions on how an individual can accomplish something in life, everyone achieves success differently. For most citizens of America, they believe that they must work hard to achieve what they want in life. Some do not think that any other factors such as race or social economic status can affect the outcome of an individual’s life.
They feel that they do not have time to take care of themselves, so they continue to hesitate between these two spaces. Thanks to research in Positive Psychology, we know that this way of approaching work, does not work as it is backwards. I believe if we can find a way of becoming positive in the present, then our brains work even more successfully, as we’re able to work harder, faster and more intelligent. 6) What are the implications or consequences of the speaker’s conclusions? The only issue I could think of would be people are not sure that this constant focus on happiness is healthy or desirable.
As John Verdant introduces two families with similar economic conditions but completely different values, it is not difficult to find out that the family believes having more actually harms themselves (Verdant, 152-155). I believe people who are less obsessed with consumerism would have a better living standards if they were living in a society with scarce materials. However, those people who are obsessed with consumerism would be willing to conduct some unethical things in order to gain self-interested benefits. On the other hand, nowadays thrift is a way of showing a person is well-educated and money-conscious. In fact thrift is highly valued in many Asian countries’ value systems.
Everything that came up under “Challenges” was true for me. The challenges that related to me most were having difficulty managing time and losing interest in long, complex projects. However, the suggested strategies for these challenges are actually very helpful and I will definitely be using these suggestions from now on in both my short and long-term career goals. I learned that I am a Thinker rather than a Feeler – meaning I base my decisions on logic versus values. I have always thought I was more likely to use my feelings to make decisions rather than what my head tells me – but this assessment says otherwise.
Mostafa Alhakim Mr. John Payne English 100 20 September 2012 The Success Argument Although many people contend that hard work is not enough and that factors, such as, race, gender, sexual orientation, and pedigree. are critical into determining whether or not people become successful: However, the other side of people argue that anyone in America can be successful if they simply work hard and persevere. Considering that both sides may be right, there are some points in the typical life that disagree with one side of the argument which are government rules, college requirements, and life experiences. First, people in general are forced with government rules that require specific types of degree to be able to have a decent
