Novel Project

Read, read and read that what I had to do at the beginning of this course. It was like a most difficult homework I have to finish. Therefore, I didn't enjoy when I started reading, especially in the first part of the novel because I didn't understand many details. However, when I started to understand more I was enjoyed by reading. Then we wrote a review for this novel which was much easier than reading. Actually, I liked this part because I wrote my opinion and what I learnt from the book. After that we prepared to presentation part. For me it was very interesting to see the reaction of readers about their book and get back ground information about other novels. Moreover, I learnt more from my and others' mistakes with this experience.

Video Summary and Reaction

In this video, Richard St. describes eight secretes of success, after he spent seven years of research and interviewed 500 people. Then, he showed this list through 3 minutes in a perfect presentation. The first secret is passion, he said that people should do their work for love not for money. The second one is work, to be successful , people have to work hard because nothing comes easy. Then he mentioned the role of practice, in order to become good at your work. Moreover, people should focus on themselves to find their career and have to push themselves to work on their interests. Then, we need to feel that our work as serving others something of value to get a taste of your efforts. Another secret that he explained is creating ideas which come from listening, observing, curiosity, solving problems and making connection. Finally, he said that a persist to failure is considered as crucial role to be successful.

For me, I totally agree with him and I think this list collect all secretes of success. but, the most one which I like it is love your work because when you like your work will enjoy it, try to do more, get expert so definitely will success. For example, if you liked your major that study you would try to get highest mark, but if you didn't like it, you wouldn't be care about your grades, just you want to pass. Also, we shouldn't forget to persist our problems that could face us at any time in our lives.
I wish a successful life for all.
