Many people believe they want to be successful. Success can mean many different things to different people. Here are some different possible areas of "success": health, money, work/job, prestige, friends, family, education, spirituality or religion, volunteering / helping others, etc. Another way to look at this is to say that success is having, being, knowing, feeling, or doing something (?).
What does "success" mean to you? Why? Explain. (Don't use a dictionary; use your own ideas.)
How do you know if you are successful or not? Give examples. Explain clearly.
What do you do if you "fail" or don't succeed at something? Explain. Use an example.
What do you think "success" will mean to you in the future (10, 20, 30 or 40 years from now)? Do you think your ideas will change or stay the same as they are now? Explain.
I look forward to reading your responses! Good luck, my successful students!

Blog #3 Rules
For "Blog #3 Rules," I would like you to write about one of the topics below (or both topics, if you would like).
1. Write about your family's or parents' rules at home: What were the rules? What were you allowed to do? What were you NOT allowed to do? How did (or do) you feel about those rules? Were they good for you? Why or why not? In the future, when you are a parent someday, what rules will you have your children follow? Why?
2. Write about the rules you followed at school: What were the rules? What were you allowed to do? What were you NOT allowed to do? How did (or do) you feel about those rules? Were they good for you? Why or why not? If you were a teacher, what rules would you have the students follow? Why?
I can't wait to read your answers!
