8 secrets of success

According to Richard St John the 8 secrets of success are:

_ Passion

_Hard work

_To try to get good on your aim

_Focus yourself on one thing

_Push yourself physically and mentally

_To serve things of value

_To have good ideas

_To persist

Second to me hard word is the best secret of success especially in studies! Since the beginning of my studies I could noticed that even if you are passionate only hard work pay. Last year I failed an important exam for the business school of Grenoble and I know that I didn’t work enough. Even if I was focus and persistent I failed! So as a French slogan says “there are no secrets, only work pay”. And yes that slogan tells the truth!

 Today people who have a good job have often worked a lot during them studies, I think about Doctor or lawyer for example. Only a minority of people succeeds thanks to passion or creativity the proportion of artist among a population is very low. Of course I would prefer to succeed thanks to my passion because it’s more exciting but unfortunately in our society it doesn’t work like that! So my best advice is “don’t reflect just work!”  

Drawing upon humor for a change

What according to you is the central idea of the speech?

Culture and Tradition condition our education and our way of life. Actually boys and girls have to do them choices in accordance with stupid standards.

Donnelly attempts to denounce it with funny draws and advocate more freedom especially for women.

Do you agree with it?

Yes I am totally agreed with her! Why women have to like pink and dance. Those standards alter our real personality.

I think humor is the best way to change mentality. Actually making laugh people, they’ll realize how much traditional education doesn’t make any sense sometime!  Often humor is more efficient than provocation.

Would you agree with Donnelly when she says that the sense of humor changes according to one's culture?

Of course! Traditions depend of the culture so it’s necessary to adapt the message to increase everybody. What make us laugh in France will be considered as unthinkable in another place. For example in countries where women are not really respected it will be very delicate to use humor…
