Reading Carol Carter’s Story: Write Your Own Success Story

Reading Carol Carter’s story: Write Your Own Success Story, it is a really good way of getting motivated to change the laziness ways that every student has. What she says is that leaving apart procrastination and attending our priorities in time will make the difference in our future. Carter gives an idea of in what way to turn once we are in college or working. Believing in yourself, planning and knowing which are your weaknesses and strengths so you can work on them, are the keys of writing your own success story. Nothing is luck but effort, as Carter´s said: “Nothing happens magically. lf you want to be a success, you are going to have to take personal responsibility for your life.” And “While successful people may appear lucky, they, in fact, illustrate the maxim that "luck favors the prepared mind."” So, in the real success life, luck has nothing to do. Luck is for improvised people. Real success is the result of constancy required, responsibility, effort, organization and balance. Nothing´s more important achieve a goal than taking action. Wishing something with all your heart will be the trampoline to make it happen. No matter how many obstacles you have, if you make mistakes they´ll teach you well to be better. But we may start now to make decisions, to make mistakes, to ask questions, to be curious, and the most important: to learn. For me, reading and writing all this is a good way to say to myself: I can do it. I have the opportunity to be here in a good college, having the best education I can have, I have support from people I care who give me advices, constructive criticism, and who tell me to stop worrying and instead start doing. So from now on, success depends only on me. I put my head in the prize I want, and that´s what I´m going to get once I have done all the work that is needed to get there.
