Why Diligence is the Main Factor for Success

Success and failure is based on our ability to compete and succeed in our environment. We should not define that success by money alone but by the many different talents and goals that we desire to achieve. If we have something in our mind and focus our efforts diligence will be the ultimate determinant of our success.

If we continue to work toward our goals, and not deter from them, success will be had. No doubt our environment and our skills play a factor but it is our ability to push forward that wins out over the decades. We may not succeed at first but in the end the day will be ours as we discover resources and gain new talents.

The true test of a persons resilience is to find a noble goal and work towards it through many different life events and distractions. We are so focused on our money and trivial things that we forget there is a higher value position out there that we can chase.

For me, shallow things like money can be part of the process but are not a great goal in and of themselves. We can't take it with us when we leave this earth but can use it as a tool for other things. For example, if you were a scientist being independently wealthy might have its advantages in freeing you to pursue your goals.

If you were a billionaire you may also be a philanthropist that seeks to be a patron to the arts, enhance science, develop the human mind, or many other lofty pursuits. Your wealth becomes a tool and continued increasing of wealth can have a positive impact on society.

We know that life is going to throw us curve balls that will ultimately temporarily derail us. Those who are most likely to succeed in school, life, career, and with themselves are those that keep going. They get back on the path and continue to work toward the things that truly interest them. The put their housekeeping in good order and get back to work diligently.

The Meaning of A Boundless Moment by Robert Frost

A Boundless Moment by Robert Frost He halted in the wind, and — what was that Far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost? He stood there bringing March against his thought, And yet too ready to believe the most. "Oh, that's the Paradise-in-bloom," I said; And truly it was fair enough for flowers had we but in us to assume in march Such white luxuriance of May for ours. We stood a moment so in a strange world, Myself as one his own pretense deceives; And then I said the truth (and we moved on). A young beech clinging to its last year's leaves. The poem is one of seasons changing and the cycle of life. Each May the bloom comes out and brings life to the death of winter. The poem is about a single moment when the characters see that life has changed. The layers of meaning can be deep but on the surface it appears Robert Frost is discussing nature and its cyclical momentum.   Everything in nature moves through patterns. The poem indicates that

Art Review: The Kiss by Gustav Klimt

The Kiss is Gustav Klimt’s most famous and well known painting. Produced in 1908 in Vienna, Austria and incorporated oil and gold life on the canvas ( 1 ). This was unique for his time and represents both tile works with Asiatic influence. The painting and the romance it brings forward is still wonderment to onlookers. The picture depicts a passionate relationship between a man and woman in a sort of perfect place.  The couple is embracing, bodies entwined, wearing robes of wealth and decadence. It provides linear constructs of the Art Nouveau style and the movement of arts with crafts ( 2 ). The male is square and masculine while the woman painted is in curves to represent femininity. The couple is a pair with the woman and man equal in stature. They are in a field of flowers and appear to rise above it.  To many this painting represents the concept that love has no bounds. Social position or worldly wealth cannot hide what goes on under the fancy clothes and standard m
