It creates a happiness and builds something to work towards. However, some parents chase after goals in which they just are not suited for. For instance, in “Death Of A Salesman“, Willy, the father of Biff and Happy, creates a false sense of a positive outlook on searching for a career and what it takes by saying that, “The man who makes an appearance in the business world, the man who creates personal interest, is the man who gets ahead.” (Miller Line 625-627). In fact, these ideas are the exact opposite of what it takes to be successful in the business world. Willy thinks that if he were to tell the truth to his kids, they wouldn’t respect him for not being as successful as he claims to be.
Success is being able to achieve what you want. In Arthur Miller’s “Death of a salesman,” the characters, Willy, Biff, Happy, and Linda all have their own ideas of what success is and their own American Dream. But the Loman family lacks the ability to make the necessary and suitable choices to pursue the American Dream. The Loman’s idea of what it takes to be a success has a lot to do with their inability to achieve the American Dream. Willy Loman is the main character in the play.
Biff no longer had his own dreams or desires in life, he merely wanted to keep his suicidal father pleased for the time being. Although Biff’s life was less complicated as a salesman for the time being, when his father passes away, Biff was going to have to continue the undesired life of a salesman. Biff “[didn’t] have a seed in the ground” (122). Biff had no foundation or dreams to live for. Biff cannot grow and develop into a successful adult because he has nothing to work from, just as a plant cannot grow when there is no seed
The American dream has always been a driving force in the lives of Americans. The need for a better life through hard work and perseverance, something no one but the hard working American understood. The dream also embodies the idea of a self-sufficient man, an entrepreneur making it successful for himself through hard work. The characters in F.Scott Fitzgeralds novel The Great Gatsby do not follow the path of righteousness and honest labour to achieve the dream. Instead they inherited, cheated and participated in illegal dealings to achieve the wealth they now have and a false sense of achievement of the American dream.
It seems as if over the years, the relationship between the two companies has drifted apart. Bronaldo admits that he did go out of his way to please Richards when the company first started for business needs. Now, he feels that Richards is taking advantage of that fact and is only focusing on his needs and profits throughout the entire relationship. Of course Richards is content with how business is running among the two companies and does not understand the need for change. I believe the major problem in this case is the fact that the two companies are not co-operating with one another, don’t see eye-to-eye with one another, and refuse to adapt to new ideas.
Greg, from the short story “Brother Dear,” does not desire to attend university and become a man of business yet that is all his father wants for him. Greg thought that “some things are more important” (Friesen 30) but his father is blinded by his mindset of thinking university is the key to living correctly. Although Steve’s father, Dave, from “A Cap for Steve” does not wish for his son to be dedicated to schooling, he does long for Steve to be dedicated to earning money for the families meagre income. Steve is passionate about baseball, just
He knows that he should not turn in Jim because Jim has done nothing but help Huck in his adventure and has done nothing wrong to Huck.

HUM 200 Paper #4 Sung Ho Ma A20346080 In the Martial’s ‘Epigram 10.47,’ we can see how Martial thought about how to lead a good life.

What success looks like and how to achieve it. But it’s not enough to have a vision; leaders must also share it and act upon it. Jack Welch, former chairman and CEO of General Electric Co., said, "Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision and relentlessly drive it to completion." A common definition of Leadership is "the relationship in which one person influences others to work together willingly on related tasks to attain that level which he desires." So, if there is no follower, there is no leader.
