Don’t aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in it, and it will come naturally. – David Frost
This quote is funny – because first you have to define what success is. If you ask my students, well their idea of success is automatically equated with
the amount of money that they have. That’s not success, at least not to me. Don’t get me wrong, I would love to be filthy rich lol, but I’m not, and I have to work, so I’m doing something that I love. Money isn’t always success. True success is doing what you love and making a life out of it. If you find what you love and do it, and give your heart to it, you’ll find that you are more than successful, you’ll be happy, and in the end, isn’t that what really matters, and what you really want? I’m never going to get rich teaching at an inner city high school, or teaching at any high school for that matter. I’m also probably never going to get rich when I finally write my book lol. But again I’m doing things that I like – love actually, and they’re things that bring me great joy. In the eyes of my students, I’m not a success because I’m not walking around throwing money around like I’m in a rap video. But they’re wrong, I’m a success. I’m touching lives, and hopefully changing them, and I’m doing what I love!
