All I want is Everything

Yesterday I heard the song by Victorious- 'all I want is everything'. It is a great demonstration of on-line dating. I was quite shocked by the fact that she chased a boy and pleased him by all means. It is quite annoying to see a female character like that at first. But later on I was kind of admire her courage and strength to acquire for what she truly desire. An independent female role, is what the era expect for us. All I want is everything, it sounds so bitchy and greedy, but isn't it a self statement or secret desire for everyone? I believe success is a common longing. However, not everyone is so blessed that they can achieve success in a wildly acknowledged way.The first problem might be, what is success? The definition of success is not clear in the first place. Lucky I am, a education competency wheel was recommended by my friend. I would like to go through each of the qualities day by day and internalise all the requirement. 

At the core of the Education Competencies are six qualities that individuals need in order to help school districts succeed in the 21st century. These qualities, or success factors, are:

Individual excellence: Ability to achieve results by working effectively with others in various circumstances.
Organizational skills: Ability to communicate by various means within different organizational settings.
Courage: Ability to speak directly, honestly, and with respect in difficult situations.
Results: An emphasis on goal-oriented action.
Strategic skills: An array of skills used to accomplish focused, longer-term goals.
Operating skills: An array of skills used for daily management of tasks and relationships.

Core Competencies
These competencies—originally selected and defined for educators and administrators—can help high school students understand the competencies related to student success

Back to myself, I did have a few inspiring conversation recently. All in all, what construct a successful man is his\her quality, morality and mental strength.We made a concept of ourself by our own. That is the most wonderful part of life. If we do all the thing in a correct way, our outcome is more or less guaranteed. Success can be copied. It is like a recipe of a famous chief. Copying everything cannot make you a really as famous and successful as he\she does, but sure we can cook delicious meal with the recipe.
