My Inspiration to Succeed

Question: What inspires me to keep striving for success?

From since I can remember I’ve always been a child determined for success. To this day I still have previous teachers who wish to have me in their presence because of my strong determination. For example…

…So to answer the answer the question what inspires me to keep striving for success? Well to start off, a personal quote that I have created for myself is, “If you have been given a task to complete, you might as well do your best.” I choose to let this quote guide me through success in life because of three reasons.

1.) Who ever assigned you the task believed that you would complete it to the best of your ability, because of previous ways that you have shown them. If somebody else has that much confidence in you, you no doubt should have confidence in yourself.
2.) Next is, the outcome and what you produce from the task given, is a reflections of yourself. It displays your amount of effort, whether you’re a hard worker, etc.
3.) Lastly, which is really simple, no matter what you still have to complete it, so why waste your time by producing something that isn’t going to have a good personal image of yourself shining through.

When I think about all the people who have tried to help me achieve excellence, I see no reason in letting them down, or letting the time they have invested in me go to waste. I truly am the child of my mother and father. My inspiration to thrive educationally comes from my mother. She is always reading and looking for new ways to learn. My inspiration to thrive with my job and in the future, my career, comes from my father. He is always willing to complete a job, and with much enthusiasm. Lastly my inspiration to be successful in life is, life itself. I look at what I don’t want to be, and remind myself that this is what I could be if I choose to let myself stray away from the path of success that I KNOW has been set for me.
