                                                My Reflection on General Colin Powell

            I agree with General Colin Powell because everything that you do in life brings about many challenges.  You must be determined and always do your best to exceed expectations.  I know for a fact that I am going to have tough moments but I have learned from my past failures. Failure is not an option and I will only listen to constructive critism.  I am going to work hard and prepare myself for the many obstacles that will try to deter me. 

            You can succeed at anything you attempt if you are deciated, committed, and have your priorities in order.  Learning from your past failures is very important because you don’t ever want to feel that way again.  As long as you prepare yourself for your challenges “especially the ones that you have failed in the past” you will face the same challenges with a different perspective.

            Even though it has been 30 years since I graduated from high school, I am determined to succeed this time.  I am not going to quit like I have done in the past.  When things get tough, I am going to get tougher. Because I know that I can succeed at anything if I work hard, truly deciate myself, and prepare for excellence. 

            So the General is correct in saying that there is no secret to success because it’s all about how bad you want to change your life.  Succeeding at College will change my life drastically.

So to  help keep me motivated, I am going to post this quote in my school journal.  So when challenges get hard and they will, I can read and re-read this quote for successful motivation.
