When I think of assuming, I think predicting. When I think of Success, I think winning. So, it reads (to me) "Predicting to Win." I usually stay optimistic, so I guess this applies to me.
ReplyDeleteThe characteristics of success are a focused work ethic, persistence in the face of opposition, and just enough energy and luck to get through it all.
When I think of a focused work ethic, I see a fisherman sitting out and waiting for today's catch. When I think of persistence in the face of opposition, I see a mother bird leaving her nest, scouting for food for her young, so they can be alive and fed. When I think of having just enough energy and luck to through it all, I imagine skiing down a hill of fresh snow until I'm barely even able to stand right as I make it to the bottom.
I can't really think of any of my projects holding this kind of message, because I don't try to put full messages in my work. I just do them with my touch of creativity, not for any subtle message to make you think, just for fun. I should make a project that has this sort of message one day, but I don't have much fun focusing myself like that. Besides, interpretation will always be different person to person

1. What does the above quote mean to you? How does it or could it relate to your life.
ReplyDeleteTo me, this quote is a guide for life. It does not say, "Assume superiority," or "Assume excellence." It allows for variation of goals and satisfaction. It means that if I strive for my personal goals, I will reach them. If I want positive things and send out positive energy, positive things will return to me and positive energy will find its way back. I've found that this is indeed true. I think positive things and my life improves exponentially. It's all about give and receive. You just have to give the right things.
2. What do you think are the characteristics of success?
I think that to be successful, you have to be driven towards something more than a goal. You have to have a lifestyle of success. You have to have an attitude that is content with your successes, but also never satisfied. I think that in order to be successful, you have to have discipline. You can't only want it, you have to do anything (within the realm of morality) to achieve your goal.

ReplyDelete2. The characteristics of success are: completion, satisfaction and pride.
3. Three images for success according to the society is $ because money makes the world go round and if you are in control of it somehow you will succeed. Another one would be @ representing the internet or communication because in now a days societies communication is vital and very important because it makes everything easier whether it be keeping in touch or setting up business trips or businesses. A final, more personal, symbol would be a heart and not in the sense of love for a boyfriend or girlfriend because that isn’t always legit, but in health, and a heart needs a good dose of exercise, love and happiness. Exercise is a given, love and happiness is found in family and friends and things that are truly precious.
