Success: One Of The Greatest NFL Quarterback Star
I believe if you want to succeed in the world that it lies with making your own opportunities as you live your life and the greatest advantage accrues by doing so . Inaction does not lead to a successful life while actively chasing your opportunities will prevent you from loosing out on many opportunities, grow your character, and show that waiting will not lead you anywhere successful.

When we do not act and seize the opportunities that come our way, so many chances pass us by without us even realizing. It would be astounding to count how many opportunities that could have been if we hadn't been doing nothing. If my father hadn't grabbed the bull by the horns and grabbed the chance to pursue my mother, I honestly believe I wouldn't be here right now. My Father didn't wait around to see what would "just happen" with my mother, but he traveled half way around the world to grab the chance to make her his wife. If my Father hadn't been actively pursuing all his opportunities concerning my mother, he would have missed out on the greatest adventure of his life. By waiting for life to happen to us, few …show more content…
I then believe, consequently, that they aren't living their lives to their fullest possible extent. That is to say, Michael Oher, the greatest NFL Quarterback star, would not have arrived at where he is today by sitting and waiting for life to make him successful. He had to work past innumerable obstacles and set backs, but he didn't give up, not once. The same can be said for Gabby Douglas winning the Gymnastics Golden Medal at the Olympics. She knew she had to go the full mile or not at all. If she had just dabbled, she would've come no closer to her dream, and she would've missed out on winning the Olympic Games. These examples help stress how sitting around will not get you to where you wish to go but actively chasing your possibilities

    Brett Favre's Legacy Analysis

    Legacy is one of the most important aspects when looking back at the greatest players in professional sports history. All fans have these everlasting images in their heads about the all-time great players, that can be positive--Michael Jordan hitting the winning shot over Bryon Russell, John Elway winning back-to-back Super Bowls to finish his career-or negative--whatever has happened to Tiger Woods, Brett Favre’s last season in Minnesota. These images drastically affect how we remember legends of the game.…

    Adversity: Basketball and Michael Jordan Quote

    Michael Jordan once said “I’ve failed over and over and over again and that’s why I succeeded.” If you don’t even try in life you will never be successful. When you want to be successful as bad as you want to breathe then you be successful. Success is about developing personal wisdom and competence or what could be called personal mastery in the field you want to succeed in. Nothing is ever impossible to accomplish in life. You have to be determined that you can do the impossible. If you have determination you can overcome the adversities in life.…

    Those experiences make us reevaluate our potential. What we can do... And what we can't. They make us weak. We automatically deem ourselves to not be smart, attractive, and rich enough. Not enough for the world. Edmund Burke once said, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing,” and that's exactly what we're letting happen.…

    212 Degrees

    Sports are another example. I play softball and throw shot put and discus in track. I don’t always want to go to practice and when I don’t want to be there, I don’t try my hardest. Instead I should be happy and feel blessed that I have the ability to participate in these sports, and take it as an opportunity to improve my skills. Everyone makes mistakes so if I mess up in a game or don’t do well at a meet, I shouldn’t get down on myself. I should remember my mistakes and work on it at the next practice so I won’t make the same mistakes again.…

    Life is not only about success or achievements but more to live it to the full extent by enjoing each and every moment of it and it is possible when we maintain a work-life balance and dedicate it to our biggest supporters ie. our family and friends it is rightly said that "There is more to life than increasing its speed." similarly always looking for promotions and keep indulging yourself in the mad goose race of competition wil make your life ‘lifeless’ and at some point of life u feel like being isolated from the world around you which is the highest defeat of the person that even after getting success he don’t found anybody to celebrate with; so ultimately it is your biggest failiure & not the success.

    Opportunity Is the Key to Success

    Firstly, Opportunity serves as a starter on the road to success. If one wants to make a difference in a specific area, he should first be given the opportunity to do it. A person, born without legs, can never be the champion of a long distance running, even in special games. A child, who cannot afford to go to school, will never be the top student in class.…

    Fate is nothing and nothing can ever do any thing. It is therefore, foolish to depend on fate. In order to attain success we are to depend on ourselves alone.

It is thus man alone to workout his fate when will and endeavour are combined together, success is assured.…
