▶ Your Answer : It is often said that everyone can live a successful life as much as they hope. However, I firmly believe that living a successful life is dependent upon whether people have enough will to achieve their goals. Such will to do unknown things is the most important component in living a honorable life and it give back rewards to people sufficiently. To begin with, willing to try new things at risk is one of the characteristics of people to succeed in life. This is attributed to the fact that almost all successful people are found to have such personality. The more people's personality enterprising, the more possibility that they tend to put in more effort, concentrate better on their task, and feel more responsible for their work. According to a study conducted by Seoul National University of Korea in 2008, there was a huge difference between two groups of students in achievements. They divided students into two groups depeding on their characteristics. Students in group A had a high level of willpower to try innovative things and those in group B had no such characteristic, living in a peace. The researchers showed that the former group of students performed better in school and spent more hours studying by 25 percent. Moreover, they followed instructions well, submitted assignements on time, and participated actively in class discussion. On the other hand, those in group B dozed off in class and lacked focus on class materials. Thus, grade of the students in group A was much higher than that in group B and hired by a good company. This impiles that people with willpower to achieve innovative things can live a successful life. In addition, achieving innovative things is able to reward people immensely for taking risks. This is due to the fact that because such new and unnoted things are likely to be avoided by people who loves trying common thing without doing at a risk, there is higher chance to earn money other than fields. For example, Jun Kim, one of my relatives, was scientist and inventor. He had spent most of time devised a apparatus which can heat water using solar energy instead of electric energy. It was so difficult that many other companies were reluctant to invest budget into such technology. However, he invented a solar energy and it was picked out one of the greatest national invention because it could save money and the environment. Finally, he eared a lof money and live a successful live now. This implies that doing new things that seem impossible is one of the ways for people to live a respectful and successful life. In brief, although people likes to think that everyone is capable of being successful in life and they all have potential to succeed. However, contrary to the expectation, I certainly support the idea that all successful people love to achieve new things, taking a risk because as I already described above, such characteristics is helpful in performing in school and making a lot of money. |
