attitude is Key to Success.

Your chances for success are not based on what we can do but rather what we are willing to do. Anyone can succeed in anything if they are willing to put some time and effort to their goals. After reading Eric's piece Outlier reflection, I found a line that I strongly agree to.

 I think that attitude is more important than ability. When doing something easy or simple, a lot of people can complete it.

Our study skills are not determined on our abilities but rather on our attitude. We all at ASTI, for example, have all the resources we need to succeed in school. We have a tough and some feet, giving us the ability to ask questions, ask for help, and go to tutoring. We have the ability to do so, but we do not always have the willingness of standing up for help. A successful student is willing to do what ever it takes to achieve some successful grades, even if it requires some time to be sacrificed.
But this does not only refer to our studies. It also refers to our daily life and activities. One attitude that has prevented us from succeeding and giving our best effort is laziness. It distracts us from focusing on our work and blinds us into searching for the shortcut to all our problems. Because of a lazy attitude, it becomes extremely difficult to get the most out of our jobs. If we, or more accurately, when we, are lazy, we obviously do a lousy job (not what you want to do while doing a task that determines your future). We all share similar abilities such as the ability to see/read, to speaks, and to focus. True we sometimes lack in them, but if we have the attitude to add some additional effort and time, the impossible suddenly becomes possible. This is what the world’s greatest dare devils did and managed to victoriously win. Some examples are battles like the battle of Battle of Kircholm where Poland had only 3,600 men while the swedes had 11,000. yet even with the huge ratio disadvantage, poland managed to win in only twenty minites.this victory shows that the great ratio ablity was not what
