Research Paper On Maestro By Peter Goldsworthy
In life success can be seen as many things, success can be small or success large. Success is the achievement of something desired an accomplishment of anything that will allow for someone or something to move forward. In the novel Keller would have been successful if he hadn’t have been so arrogant with the passing of his son and especially his wife.

    America's Greatest Accomplishments

    Only a scare amount of people are destined to be the President of the United States, to be astronauts, to be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, or to find a cure for a terminal disease.

Not everyone is exposed, or afforded, the opportunity to do great things; whether fame, money, or motivation tend to get in the…

    The Importance of Hard Work, Luck, and Dedication

    Malcolm Gladwell, a writer for the magazine New Yorker, once stated an important point. “It isn’t sheer talent that distinguishes most super achievers…” he said. He also went on to say , “The Beatles rocked, but they might never have achieved stardom if they hadn’t lucked into a Hamburg gig that forced them to play together for hundreds of hours a month…” Mr. Gladwell is right in my mind in the sense that some people do not reach the success they could achieve, simply because of lack of exposure or unique situations to display their talents. People miss out on success because they do not get an opportunity to shine.…
