UPWARD BOUND #7

Leaders aren't born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal.  

Once you agree upon the price you and your family must pay for success, it enables you to ignore the minor hurts, the opponent's pressure, and the temporary failures.

I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.

  1. 1- What does this say? (1-2 sentences)

    It says that staying strong will benefit you.

    2- What does this mean? (2-3 sentences)

    It means that no matter what yuo will survive
    if you presist and don't budge.

    3- Why does this matter or how can you apply this to your life? (2-3 paragraph)

    ~~It matters because people give up on things to quick. We've all done it one time or another. We tend to as gamers say "rage quit". Wether it be in school or in a video game we have all "rage quit" something because of frustration, or difficuilty we all do it. But we have to learn to not give up so quickly.

    ~~ We as people need to learn that if we dig in for the incomming storm we can make it. If we hunker down, we can pull through and come out to see a brighter day. Sometimes in life its not how fast or how good you are at something. Sometimes its about how much of a beating you can take and still get up and win.

  2. 1. Leaders are not born, they are made; they are made through hard work and have paid their goals with hard work. When a man finally achieves his goal, he is happy, victorious, and living his dream.

    2. It means that to get to our goals we will face pain, criticism, and failure. The ability to endure all of that, and still win, will guarantee you a successful life.

    3. I find this to be true. I have never struggled in any math class before. However, in my junior year, I had math analysis which was very difficult. I felt like giving up, and just not turning the assignments in, and just intentionally give up on the tests. However, I told myself that giving up was not who I was. Especially so because it was math, and math was something I knew that I was good at.

    For the whole year, I worked hard. I worked so hard: I studied more than I had to, I watched educational videos, and I did more work (other than homework) than I was supposed to. In the spring semester, I ended having a B in the class ( I was so dissapointed. I had an A in the first semester). However, the math teacher said he realized that I actually worked harder than the other student and he decided to give me extra credit for my hard work. My 83% B became a 90% A. I was victorious.

  3. 1) According to Lombardi, leaders are made, not born. This is because of the hard work that one puts in.

    2) Leaders are made by working hard. Being a leader is the result of hard work. You will become successful if you work hard enough.

    3) All of us must work hard to achieve our goal. Hard work will result in success. Once we set up our mind to become successful, all the other struggles will just be minor pains. We will experience failure first before we become successful. These obstacles in our life will just make us even more stronger to achieve success.

    This quote matters because most of us wants to be successful someday. This quote is explaining to us that we become successful through hard work. If we put our heart into something that we want to do, we will become victorious. Hard work and passion or determination will lead us to success. With hard work, everything is impossible.

  4. 1- It says that true leaders are made not from luck but from their hard works and determination to follow their path.

    2- It means that nobody makes the decision for your success, nobody can make you a leader beside yourself. In order for you to become the leader that shakes the world, you need to put your effort in to achieve and get ready to endure hardship.

    3- It matters because many of us have forgotten the reason and our determination during our course of striving for the better. We seem to trap ourselves in fear and depend on luck to move on on our path. Luck is just a factor not a reason. We can only succeed in our life if we have the will to move and to reach for the better. The path to success is never free, there is always a price for everything. This time the price is our sweat, effort and sometime even finance.

    Currently in my life, i have understood what i'm striving for. Of course, the simple answer is for a better future but the more specific answer is to become a warrior of my own. I may not become a leader but i will become somebody that matters in this world. I recognize the more effort i put in the further i can reach on my path. The golden price at the end of my journey is blocked by tremendous and enormous obstacles, and the journey is still quite long. However, what matters is me keeping my head in the game and be certain of what i'm trying to do and not to stop.

  5. 1. No one is born with talent.
    2. It mean any one can be success full they will just have to work. When the finally succes the price will seem small.
    3. This matter because it is telling you that if you want to be successful you must be deticated. Deticated to pay for you success with hard work. With hard work the obstical you face will seem small and irrelivant. The greatest time of you life will be when you are doing something that you are passioned for. When you are to tried you will lie there in success.
    This i can use as insperation not to give up. If i just work at it eventually i will accomplish what i set out to do in the first place. That a little hard work is nothing but the price i need to pay. And, to not let any hardships slow me do because they are smaller than the big picture. And, when i reach my goal i will feel victoriuos and accomplished when i am finshed.

  6. 1- What does this say? (1-2 sentences)
    Any leader was not born a leader. With hard work and determination they became what they are today.
    2- What does this mean? (2-3 sentences)
    Everything can be reached with determination. You just have to push yourself and never give up.
    3- Why does this matter or how can you apply this to your life? (2-3 paragraphs)
    This matters to me because now I know that I can achieve anything that I put my mind into. I leaned to never waste my time and keep on working for my future success. It might not be easy but it will pay in the future. Even with failures i still need to work harder and harder for what I aim for. Whoever remains standing up after the fight will be the most successful.
    I can apply this to my life so I can achieve my perfect life. The car of my dreams, the perfect school,house, perfect home. To obtain my perfect life I need to work hard and never give up because those who rest never get to the finish line. I must do as much as I can to make my future a success. I know that the future will have a greater reward for me at the end of my journey.

  7. Hard work crafts a leader.

    Once you find a reason and motivation for your goal then accomplishing it will be easier. This motivation will enable you to breeze through any obstacles that may come your way.

    Hard work is not trivial. Even if hard work leads to failure, that is a reward on its own. To know that you have put all of your effort into something is not something to be ashamed of. You should take pride in it. And you should be even more proud when you know your effort was done with a good form of motivation.

    In order to apply this to your life you must first find a goal. And then you should committ to it and be determined to not give up. The only way you do that is give yourself a reason to not give up. If you fail, you will know you have tried your hardest. If you succeed, you will know that it was for the right reason.

  8. 1)This quote is saying that leaders are made through hard work.Hard work is the price of your goal for you and for your family.

    2)This quote means the only way you become a leader is through hard work that is the price you have to pay to succeed.The best feeling of releif is when you knows you put all your effort into your goal and you are tired.

    3)Every leader in this world has been created. Through hard work aiming for their goals utting in those hours. Pouring all their passion into their goal. The only way for them to make it into this world is by the decisions and the work they out in to be successful and come on out.This is important because many people think they just have the talent to be a leader but its not as simple as that. They put in the work to be where they are today. You will feel a sense of releif once accomplished and tired.

    This can be applied to my life in such that in the goals I have in mind such as to go to college do better then my parents did. To be successful and not to work twice as hard for such little pay. Even through those difficult times I don't want to do my homework. I know once finished I feel relaxed and I know I am one step closer to my goal. Putting in those hours to finish work and have just a few hours of I know it will all pay off in the future.

  9. 1. What does this means?
    I think it says that not to give up on something you truly believe in doing.

    2. What does this means?
    I think it means the more you follow your dreams ns to not give up the more you can achieve in making them come true.

    3. why does it matter or how can you apply this to you life?
    ~It matters because when people decide and choose on how to live there life and all of a sudden they want to change and they think its to late to change but it's never too late to do something you want to achieve in life.

    ~You can apply this to life because when you want to do soemthing you truly believe in and you think you can't do it and then you try it and you can do it and the harder you work at it the more you'll achieve, learn, and be able to say,"I MADE IT."

  10. 1. This says that leaders are never born leaders, they're made. They're made through hard work and through hard work, the success in the end will always be worth it.

    2. This means that it pays off to shape yourself into a leader or anything you want through hard work. Through hard work comes greater fulfillment in anything.

    3. This matters because we can't just laze around and expect everything to be handed to us. We need to build ourselved and become stronger. With that newfound strength, we'll push through everything and not be bothered as much by obstacles in our way. In the end, all your work will always pay off in the end. There's never an easy way out so we have to try our hardest and do our best. Then you'll be able to lay down tiredly, but with pride on what you've accomplished.

    We can apply this to our life because we always have to remember what we're working hard for and reach for our goals. With this newly made persistence and strength we'll be able to earn success. Life has no second chances so it's better to take the risk and be grateful than just regretting it and always wondering what would've happened if you just went for it. Our hard work will always give us pride in knowing we did something and worked hard in it. There is no easy way out in life. We have to push through, endure, and achieve success. Only then we'll be able to become victorious and be proud of what we've done. You'll be tired; but it will always be worth it.

  11. 1.This says that you have to be your own leader to lead your dreams because or else other people my discourage you.After you over come these challlenges you are going to become someone.

    2.This means that you should always be the leader and if your taking to long for it dont quit. You should keep going because at the end you will see progress and success.

    3. It matters because most people get discouraged of the things that people say. You shouldnt because we are all unique in our own way. If you take longer then take longer but dont quit. I remember this happend with my sister when she got out of college. She went to a 4 year for one semester and she quit becasue people kept telling its going to take to long. She followed people's opnions and didnt get her anywhere. She soon found out that she needed to be the leader and go back to school.
    This applies to my life because its has taught me that i should be the leader and take my own decisions.

  12. 1) This says its takes hard work to become a leader and you just cant become a leader and when you use hard work you can achieve your goal. So don't give up even how hard it may feel you can make it and stand there in your victory.
    2) This means stay strong, hold on, push through and you will achieve your goal. This also means when you achieve your goal you will have the greatest joy or fulfillment when its done.
    3) This matters because no matter how this aree dont fail just push through. Don't look back just move ahead, move foward. Hard work pays off because in the end you can excel in anything that you want to. The best feeling in life is to feel like you did something in your life that you succeded at. Never give up no matter how hard or frustrating things get you can make it.
    I can apply this to my life by not looking back just moving ahead. I wont let anything stop me from reaching my goal or success. My hard work in school, or dance, or singing can take me to higher levels. It can take me to place i have never gone before all i have to do is work hard and ignored the people that arent helping me improve. When I look at my self after I achieve my goal I can say I made it and thank God for all that he has done.

  14. 1. This says that working hard is the way to uor achieve ment and thats the price we must pay if we want something in our life.
    2. This means that nobody is a born a leader. everyone that is a leaderc has worked hard to get where they are and to what they are. Also that after all that hard work thats when you feel good and accomplished.
    3. This matters because many people say ohh i'm going do something. they say it but they never do it. Words dont nessasarly do much. You can talk about how much you want something so bad but if you dont pay the price of it you wont get it. To get that one thing you have to work hard.

  16. 1. Success comes to your life once you strive hard. Ignore all the minor hurts.

    2. Failures in life won't stop us believing, dreaming and reaching our gaols. The only thing you need is hard work to accomplish all of it.

    3. This matter to me because since my dad has three job. He never give up supporting his family. Instead, he is striving hard just to give us food in our daily life. He never gets tired of us even though i know he's been tired since the day they meant the world to us. But that's how he loves his family. He's gonna do everything just to success in life. We all know that the best feeling that you ever gonna experience is to fulfill all your goals in life. That's why im trying to do my best to be the best daughter to my dad and mom because i know they both sacrifice theirselves for me but not only for me. Even with my siblings. All the hard work that they've done to me, i will pay back, i will help them and love them unconditionally.

  17. 1. This qoute says that you must work hard to get somehwere in life.
    2. This quote means that all men were created equal .It were the people who worked hard who were succefull.
    3. This quote matters because people believe that other people are succeful without trying. When mostly everybody is born with same ability to be suucful .Some people just utilize thier oppertuntiees and work hard to be succeful.People have thier mind set that thier just not good enough. They give up without trying.

    I can apply this to my life by working hard to be succeful . I will use my time wisley to acomplish my goals. I will work harder than everybody else and utilize the oppertunities that have been presented to me.

  18. 1. You have to work hard in order to see your dreams become reality.

    2. When someone has made everything their reality they will be able to look back and feel like they are on top of the world. It is that one moment where you feel like you don't need anything else to be content.

    3. I think a person feels victorious when they are doing the thing that they have always envisioned themselves doing. Where they feel happiness deep inside their soul and not just their heart. I think a person feels victorious when nothing will affect them to the extent where they drop everything that they love and walk away from it. They know that have gotten to that victorious spot because they can't see themselves doing anything else.
    I, personally, don't think I will ever be able to let things just fall out of my reach. I don't want to live my life knowing that I could have done it but just let it pass me by. I don't want to have to look back and think about all of my regrets. Life is too short to just sit there and waste time. I have to make something of myself.

  19. 1. This says that leadership isnt just given to you, its has to be earned.
    2. This means just because you born with leadership potential doesnt mean you going to become a leader. If you want to become a leader your going to have to work really hard and put a lot of time and effort into it.
    3. Things and important positions arent just handed to you. You have to go out and earn them they're not alway there because someone is always ready and willing to take your spot. No matter what you do they're just waiting for you to slip up so bad that you get fired and they get hired. just like in college you slip up and dont go to school a lot that you get kicked out and someone else who is going to go to school everyday and on time is going to come out of hiding and take your spot. It takes hard work to get in to the position your in. It takes even harder work to keep it.

    Staying strong will benefit you. If you stay strong mind and willing to put in the work to where you want to get to. It will help you out a lot. Sometimes you have to do it on your own. Sometimes you have help from family and friends and sometimes you get help from strangers.

  20. 1. Leaders are made from the very beginning, and these leaders become leaders because they work hard to get to that point of being a leader. By allowing yourself to be successful, you are allowing yourself to bypass life's pressures, hurts and failures.

    2. Lombardi is saying that we must get through the struggles of life by being a leader and become successful in the end. If we work hard each and every day, we are preparing ourselves for the future; we must not feel exhausted in this journey because in the end, all this hard work will pay off and we will become victorious.

    3. This quote matters because people often forget the reason why they are born in the first place. We are all given certain talents and abilities and we must utilize this talents and abilities to our advantage. Life will become easier later on if we all work hard now. If we can get passed the struggles of life, we are doing ourselves a big favor. So work hard now for the reason that we can be victorious in the future.

    This quote applies to my life because I believe that hard work will pay off in the future. Thus,
    I must work hard everyday to become successful in life. In everything I do, I will try my hardest so that I can lead people in the future. I will ignore the hurts, pressures, and failures of life so that I can persue my dreams. I will not allow myself to be exhausted on the battlefield; I will emerge victorious.

  21. 1. It say we alway need strong to successful.

    2. It mean if you work hard you will achieve what you want.It no matter what you will survive.

    3. It matter to me because when you do somthing hard, you will achieve what you want like your dream or your goal. Sometimes in life its not how far and how good, but because how much of a beating you can take and still get up and to be a winner.
    With me in my life i always have dream and i was tried work hard to make it done.

  22. 1. Hard workers are those who become leaders. Once our goals are reached, we ignore the harships that we went through just to get there. Our best times are the ones when we work our hearts out and once we're done, we lay victorious.

    2. If you want to be a leader, you have to work hard, harder than those around you. It's not possible to achieve success if you don't exert hard work in there. The times when we work the hardest just to be successful are our best times. These are the times when we can truly say that we are victorious.

    3. When we are young, we dream of doing big things. When I was asked what I wanted to do when I grow up, I told them I am going to be a doctor. This goal stayed with me to this day; however, as I was growing up, I learned that this path won't be easy. Time and hard work are required to achieve it. I just can't get there that easily, I have to work hard and I have to believe that I can do it.
    I won't be a leader unless I produce a leader out of me. Being lazy won't take me anywhere, I have to work hard. Once I reach success, I will look back and I can finally say I am truly a winner. The hardships that I have to overcome to get where I want to be will all be worth it once I get to where I want to be. I will be a leader in the field, but I won't become one if I don't work hard; therefore, I have to constantly remind my self that all these hard work will be worth. I will be successful.

  23. 1. Leaders are working so hard to become a leader.

    2. Leaders are the same as anything else, but they just little bite work hard to archieved they goals. Hard work pays off.

    3. It's matter because it tells us to work hard in order to achieve our goals. Once you admited to something you wanted to do, you should put 100 percent of efford to accomplishe it. And don't let your temporary failure to stop you from going. Every mintues of hard work will effect your life.

    Hard work is the the price of success. so, I believe hard work will lead me to success. By working hard today, i take a big step foward on my goals that i wanted to achive. I should use every mintues in my life wisely. That's how this quote apply to my life.

  24. 1)Leader are not made they are born.

    2) This means you can become a leader if you work hard persistence with your goals. No one is born a leader they work hard in order to become a leader.Greats leader of this country for example Martin Luther king he work hard he study put all his heart in what he believe.

    3) This quote matter because if one wants to reach your goal in life. You have to put your effort. In order to reach the top you have to take step by step. Everyone has dreams and aspirations. Everyone wants to reach their goal.

    I can apply this to my life I want to become a doctor in diabetes or nutritionist. In order to reach to reach my goal I have to get good grades, interview a doctor, attend University that specilaze in medicine. Also I have to put all my effort. It's my responsibility to become a leader. I am starting to take charge of my actions in order to become a leader and reach all my goals. In order to reach the top I have to take small step.

  25. 1. It says that no one was born was a leader, they become the leaders because of what they paid for it.
    2. It means that everyone is just born like the other people, no any special qualities. However, what makes them more successful and achieve higher position in this world is their work, their hard work.
    3. This is matters because many of us want to be something in life, want to be in high position of this world. However, just sit there and talk is not enough; what we need here is their work, their evidences of what they've done,... Even though there may be many obstacles on your way, but when you firmly believe that you will surely achieve your goals, you will be able to overcome everything and be who you want to be. It may takes a long time, so what? it's your road and you got to finish your life. No one can live your life for you but yourself.
    In my life, I have to honestly tell you that I have given up many times before. But sometimes, even I know I will fail, I still want to do it. That's not because I want to achieve something but because I recognize that it's my success when I can complete what I love to do.
