Do you want to be a successful person or do you want to be a prominent figure before you die? I believe that your answer should be "Yes, I do". Of course, so do I. If I have a chance, I would like to give it a try no matter I know it nearly becomes impossible for me. Being a prominent figure is not as easily as speaking. This is because you need to spend a lot of time to prove yourself. Every accomplishments will be achieved when you have chosen to implement your decisions. However , if you have determined to achieve your target, the different of living condition will never be your obstacle. Hence, I would like to compare two prominent figures that we have known before. How they become a prominent figure? And how they smooth away the obstacles on the way to success?
The first prominent figure that I would like to introduce is Warren Edward Buffet. Even as a child, Buffett displayed an interest in making and saving money. He went door to door selling chewing gum, Coca-Cola, or weekly magazines. For a while, he worked in his grandfather's grocery store. While he was still in high school, he was successful in making money by delivering newspapers, selling golf balls and stamps, and detailing cars. Buffett's interest in the stock market and investing also dated to his childhood. Meanwhile, he always spent in the customers' lounge of a regional stock brokerage near the office of his father's own brokerage company.While he was studying in high school, he invested in a own business by his father , and he bought a farm to earn the money.
The second prominent figure that I would like to share with you is Bill Gates. He was born in a wealth family in Washington. His father was a prominent lawyer, and his mother served on the board of directors for First Interstate Banc System and the United Way. Also, his grandfather was a national bank president. When Gates was young, his family offered him a high quality learning environment. So, he had studied in an exclusive preparatory school when he was 13 years old. However, Gates took an interest in programming the GE system in BASIC, and he was excused from math classes to pursue his interest. His family always gave him a support and tried they best to help him to do what he wanted to do. At last, he successed in his secondary school and furthered his studies in Harvard University.
There are some differences between Buffet and Gates. Although they are prominent figures now, but they have used different ways to achieve their successes. Compared to Gates, Buffect was more exhausted than Gates during their childhood. Since he didn't have a wealth family, his family couldn't give him an opulent condition to have an awesome envinronment to achieve his dreams as easily as Gates. However, lastly he was successed because of his afforts. That was his pleasure and he would treasure them as long as he lived. On the other hand, although Gates was easier than Buffet to comply his desire, but he had not relaxed his mind. In contrast, he made a lot of efforts that finally he had achieved his accomplishments.
In a nutshell, although Buffet and Gates have the different life backgrounds, but both of them still succeed in the future life. Whether you are born from what kind of background, as long as you have a determination to succeed, the successful is not so far away from you. The most important thing is you should believe yourself. Challenging your own limits, and you can do better than before.
