Reading Passage for Final Writing Exam How to Accomplish a Goal Sometimes it feels so easy to give up, but giving up in life won’t enable anyone to achieve goals. That’s where the power of perseverance comes in. Everyone from Olympic athletes to billionaire business tycoons to successful everyday people know one thing: they know that without the ability to truly persevere, they simply would not have made it to where they are today. Without perseverance, it’s much more difficult to reach goals. Though everyone may use different tools to ensure that they persevere in love, work and life, here are some good ways to create success: Stay Rationally Optimistic. Perhaps things don’t always go exactly as you planned. Maybe you sometimes face unanticipated challenges or things just don’t happen as quickly or as easily as you’d like them to. Don’t let unexpected setbacks make you lose your overall focus. By staying reasonably positive through the difficult times, you increase your chances of success. Embrace Your Setbacks. Many times, hugely successful people in general say that some of their greatest “setbacks” were actually indispensable components of their success. Often, without these so-called “setbacks”, they would not have learned what was necessary to achieve their success. Realizing that “failure” is often an opportunity to learn more is a dynamic way to approach any struggles on the way to success. Take Breaks. Many times, it seems like a waste of time to take a break as we work to achieve a goal, but sometimes our greatest insights and creative solutions come during those moments when we give ourselves a break. A tired brain is a non-functional brain, and taking care of yourself, mind and body, often allows you to re-start your process with greater energy. It’s been said that Albert Einstein, arguably one of the greatest minds in history, achieved many of his ground-breaking creative insights during his “down time”. So, next time you’re in need of a truly creative solution or “ground-breaking idea” for your goal, do the counterintuitive thing: take a relaxing break. Your goal will still be there when you come back, refreshed. Final Essay Prompts (Select One) 1. Describe a time when you worked hard to accomplish a goal that you thought was extremely challenging.
