Definition of Suceess

“The Definition of Success”

Ralph Waldo Emerson writes this poem. He defines success with small sentences. This poem is about how to get success. All of the small sentences is interrelated.

 The “Defining of Success” have nine points and every point have a meaning. He defines success in a simple list.

The first one, “to laugh much” means that to laugh make everybody happy. I thought this one is the most important. All of the points is important and he ends the poem with “This is to have succeeded.”

I mean that success is earned, and not given. I think if a person have earned success, it gets success. Point number two, “to win respect of intelligent persons and the affections of children” show that he means to get respect can be one of the things to do to be succeeded.

American Dream

Do people still believe that the American Dream can be achieved?

The fact that you can come from almost nothing, with no means and still can be succeed still stands strong. People still think that hard word profits, and the work will pay off. You can get everything you want if you just believe. More people believe in the dream today. In 2005, there were approximately 32% yes or will so in the nearest future. In 2009, 44% said that they had achieved it, or was going to in future.



How has the definition changed?

The definition has changed because people want to make up their own decision and decide for themselves what they want to be and when. They want to have freedom and opportunities. The Americans think about the future and they want to make it their own. People now appreciate values over material.
