What does the word “success” mean to you?
Dictionary.com defines success as
I would like to suggest an alternate meaning for this word as found in the following quote which I have posted on my wall and which I think about daily:
“Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be.” George Sheehan
As long as we attempt to grow, learn, expand, and nurture ourselves and move in a forward direction toward becoming the person we envision we can be, we have reached success. The same thing goes with learning English as a second language. Having the courage, determination, and the will to constantly learn and practice new words, phrases, grammatical structures, and pronunciation brings you closer to the English speaker you would like to be. You will not just dream it; you will be it! That is success to me. Do you agree?
