Choosing Success over Failure

            Everyday in life many different options are presented to us, and we are given the opportunity to make choices on our personal desires and preferences. There see many times in which others may influence our decisions but overall it is our responsibility to make the choice that is compatible with us, the "right" choice.  But who is to say that the choices we make see always correct? Everybody’s perception of right and wrong is different and in making these choices everybody has to evaluate how these choices are going to affect their lives. Every choice makes a difference in our behavior and emotions, our lifestyle, and also provides a learning experience. Everybody has there own beliefs and they use those beliefs to help them to make choices which in the end will some how help or hurt them. The choices we make and choose to follow will sometimes lead us to success and in more unfortunate cases, lead us to failure. 

            One noticeable difference is the emotions imitating the result of success or failure.  Success brings forth emotions such as happiness, optimism, and satisfaction.  If you strongly believe in your mind and heart that you can achieve your goals in life your emotions will intensify.  The intense belief and emotions will push you towards the direction of success.  For example if you are in the last 30 seconds of a championship basketball game and your team is down by two points and you are confident you will sink the final jump shot to win the game then do.  This moment of success is glorified with a sense of achievement and fulfillment.  The key we are searching for in life is happiness.  The reason we chase success is because it brings us this feeling of happiness we are searching for (“Redefining Failures-“).  On the other hand there are the emotions portrayed from failure.  A person who often fails is bound to feel sad, angry, and even afraid.  When someone fails they feel as if they have just been brought down.  As if you would feel if you found out you failed a math test you just took last week.  Failure to complete or fulfill their task can sometimes make a person feel depressed and down.  This will only result in more failures.   

            Comparing both success and failure another difference is noticed.  The lifestyle one another lives.  A person who succeeds is more likely to have a positive attitude and outlook on situations.  The more you experience success, the more you will be driven to succeed.  Often most people who aim to be successful in one field many times are successful in others as well (“The Feeling of Success”).  Although the successful guy will have times of failure as well the difference is he will get back up and try again until he achieves success.  For example Thomas Edison who failed thousands of times trying new inventions (“How to be Successful”).  While the person who fails is afraid to try again fearing they will repeatedly fail.  The failure lets fear control their actions and mindset which will destroy them.  If you were to approach a girl at the mall and ask for her number and were to fail and never try again you would be letting the fear of failing hold you back.  Then it is more than likely that you never get a number unless tried again.    

            Yet another difference between success and failure is the knowledge and experience.  A successful person will gain knowledge from their experience even if the first few times may lead to failure.  A great example of a person like this would be Henry Ford.  “While Ford is today known for his innovative assembly line and American-made cars, he wasn't an instant success. In fact, his early businesses failed and left him broke five time before he founded the successful Ford Motor Company” (50 Famously Successful”).  Someone who fails at first but try’s again will always gain more knowledge than someone who fails and gives up.  When you give up you learn nothing and never will if not attempted again.  Without failure there would be no success.  If Rosa Parks were to not stand up for her self and sit on the front of the bus that day because she was afraid to fail we would possibly still be having the same problems today.

            Here are the three main differences between success and failure.  As we can see it is clearly a better choice to pick success over failure.  Based on the fact that success brings happiness, better over all goals and achievements, and experience and knowledge.  Therefore it is important to consider your future and choose the road of success to live a happy life.

Beliefs In the World

            A belief is a mental attitude that some proposition is true. (dictionary.com)  Beliefs can be, and often are misleading.  Beliefs are developed from what is taken from the world around us, from how we are brought up and the morals and values we gain from our peers.  Once beliefs are formed they are often held on to.  Thesis: Beliefs are based on different elements such as facts, myths and lies. 

            Facts are a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred (define:fact).  The reason people believe in facts is because facts are a credible source of information that is real.  Believing in something does as good as not knowing if something is real for sure, this is why people choose to believe facts.  Beliefs are thoughts experienced in the mind.  A fact shows observable proof.  For example it’s a fact that gravity pulls down on objects, so if I were to drop an English book it would fall to the floor because of the gravities pull on the book.  Facts are being thrown at us every day no matter where we go from commercials on television, magazines and newspapers and even from our peers.  When we see these facts in our everyday lives and they become our beliefs.  Often a belief is assumed to be a fact when the mind is determined that the belief is a fact.  Sometimes we will just believe what we hear without knowing for sure if what we heard was true or not (Beliefs That Can Kill).

Religious belief refers to a mental state in which faith is placed in a creed related to supernatural, sacred, or divine (Religious Belief- Encyclopedia).  Religious Belief mainly focuses on ideas.  There are many different religious beliefs such as Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hebrew, Hinduism and many more.  These religions all have different ideas and ways of practicing there religious believes.  An example is exclusivism, this is when people of one religion believe that the other religion is either an error, corrupted or not true faith (Exclusivism).  In the Jewish culture they believe anyone who doesn’t accept the teaching of the Jewish monotheism is excluded messianic.  Christianity shows religious exclusivisim in the Catholic Church and the teachings of several denominations believe that only the ones who practice the true faith will reach heaven, the ones outside of the church will go to Hell.  In the Islam religion they reject religious traditions that have no part in Allah or paradise (Exclusive, religious).  There is also religious Inclusivism which claims that one religion is explicitly true, while all others are implicitly true and that God accepts an ‘implicit’ faith in lieu of explicit faith in Christ. That while there is no salvation outside of Jesus Christ, that He will extend His mercy to many who lead moral lives but may have incomplete, or no knowledge of Him in this present life (Inclusivism).  An example of this would be if an inclusivist Christian were to say “I am Christian and believe that Christianity is the more superior religion, but I do think that there is some truth in Judaism and Buddhism.”  This also goes the same for other religions.

Myths are colorful stories that tell about the origins of humans and the cosmos.  Myths have always been around through the course of history.  Myths can and often do turn into beliefs.  A good example of this would be how children in certain cultures believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy (Beliefs That Can Kill).  These myths were made up way back in the day but are still being practiced today by individuals living in the present.  Ancient Egyptians believed in mummifying the dead to preserve the body in the after life.  These ancient beliefs were not forgotten over time.  People today still cleanse and embalm the bodies to prepare the body for afterlife, they sometimes even place personal belongings in the coffin to carry on with them into after life.  Another myth still practiced today is the rain dance; some tribes still continue this ritual to bring forth rainfall (Myths and Beliefs of Early Civilizations).      

            Beliefs are very important to everything we do today.  Everything we hear on the news, in church, in political parties or wherever we are is based on someone’s beliefs.  People put their beliefs in facts, religion, even myths from ancient times.  Our beliefs decide who we vote for or where we go to church even on our level of success in life.  So no matter what it is going on in life beliefs will always be a part of it whether.
