Winston Churchill – the man who inspired me during my path to success Essay

I don't know about you but I see it every day, teens how are stressed out. Newspapers telling us we are pushing too hard. We know there's a problem but we aren't stopping to ask a crucial question. Instead we go around the edges afraid to tackle one of the most important issues associated with the stress. We scrutinize and provide support we offer condolence and sympathy, we encourage and teach, and all of those things are lovely and probably necessary but in all that we are still not asking the first question. So I'll start by taking you back my freshmen year, I was a new to my high school and like most freshmen I was really annoying. When the wrestling season started I was amazed at the level of skill that the other freshmen had. I was definitely not a good player on the team in middle school, and the amount of people that gave up after the first day of practice made me convinced that I would never be a major power on the team, and I was right, but what made it worse was when I dislocated my kneecap. I pretty much lost all hope, but then online I was going around and I read about a guy by the name of Winston Churchill. He was a British Prime Minister that defended Great Britain from Nazi Occupation in WW2. He once said "If you're going through hell keep going." Just like how he didn't give up even though all odds weren't stacked in his favor, I knew I needed to change if I wanted to push for greatness. So what did I do? I did everything in my power during the summer to make myself better, and I came back this year with massive success. If it wasn't for my motivation though I wouldn't have made it, every time I'd start to give up I'd always remember that quote and keep pushing. Wrestling showed me how you can only get greatness if you step out of the ordinary. This doesn't only have to be my story, you can make it to. You don't have to be the most talented you don't have to be the most gifted, you don't have to be the most intelligent to get to where I am. The thing I'm asking is if you can take the hit. You need to be a professional psychopath. You need to have gravitas strength and courage, no matter how bad the storm may get and wake up with one question on your lips "what's next?". If stress cripples you, if adversary overwhelms you, if you think your life should be delivered to you on a silver platter and you don't think you need to pull in the work then you have another thing coming. So what's your answer? Are you ready to get out of your comfort zone? Will you push for greatness every day? Can you take the hit? If so then what's next?
