Success Comes In All Ages And Forms

A person can be successful at any point. How much work you put in is what's important.

Everyone in the world wants at least one form of success. Maybe not too much or maybe a lot. Or maybe there are people who actually don't and that's OK too.

I know I want success. The thing is, I want to live a long successful life. Meaning that I want to be successful at a young age and do something extraordinary.

That's not to mean I haven't accomplished great things but I'm not going to lie, I want people around the world to know my name and what I've accomplished.

To some, that may sound selfish, but I think it's completely fine to want more out of life. It's fine to want to be young and successful. We look at so many young actors and actresses, musicians, young people who have started fundraising campaigns/organizations, etc. and some of us want our name out like that.

I used to think that you had to be a certain age to be successful or be young. If you were perhaps slightly older than you late twenties, than that may be seen as too old or not the right age to be successful.

Yet, at the same time, you could be in your mid-30s or above and be successful too. Yes, it took awhile for the major things in life to happen but you were able to get to the place you wanted to get. You were able to have that house you wanted, that car you wanted, or even just the title/name you strived for.

Age doesn't have to define your success. A person can be successful at any point in their life. They don't have to have a number be the basis of what and how they get their success but should know that the fact of the matter is what they did to make it happen.

People who are successful in the world had to work hard to get to where they wanted to be. They had to strive and push themselves to be the person they wanted to be. Otherwise, they wouldn't have reached the point of success they are at.

No matter if you are in your teens, twenties, fifties, or any other age, don't let age define your success. If you want something in life go after it. Start towards the destination you want to go towards and remember to put in all the work you can and then some, to be successful.

The fact that you started is success enough.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
