Ways to Get a Successful Life

What do you think about success? Do the rich people can be defined as a successful person? Or the poor one called an unsuccessful one? I think there’s no scale to measuring “success” in my life. Some people think if they feel happiness in their life, they are a success person. Although, they are not a wealthy person; sometimes, properties are not valuable things for some people. There are two ways to reach a successful: work hard and patiently.
To reach a successful, we need do everything in hard a way, it means we have to work hard to reach it. Student study hard because they want to pass their final exam to graduate excellently, for instance. Another example, some workers work very hard to get promotion in order to go to the higher level in a company. Every people do many things to get the best result in their life; however, they do “illegal” activity to get it. For example, they try to persuade their boss to get better promotion in their job and get more salary; even though no every people to that, just some of them. Sometimes, money can make people “blind” in their life, whereas it isn’t a main point to determine a successful. So, getting a successful life is not easy. Every thing must be hard for us to reach it.
The second way to get success is be patient to everything that we do. In my opinion, keep patient is the most important thing in our life; furthermore, it is impossible if everything that we want in this life can be reach. I will give the example, a labour who has been worked for 2 years in a company, but he still work in the same division and get same salary till now. Does he called an unsuccessful person? I think, if he has felt comfort with his job and he’s enjoyed it, he can be called a successful person because he keep patient with his job. Therefore, while we always try to be patient we can get what we really want; nonetheless, it is not as soon as that we want.
In conclusion, if we want to reach a successful in our life, we have to work hard to do that. Also, we have to always be patient when we try our best, because if we don’t do that we’ll get frustration. We just thinking about “success” in our life without thinking about the way to reach that, whether to do positive thing or to do negative thing to get the best result. Then, we can be an arrogant, impatient, and stubborn person. Benjamin Franklin said, “There are no gains without pain”. So, in which way you want to choose to get your successful life?

The Extinction of American Bison


Nowadays, many animals become more extinct along with humans appearance; some people are considering this case related with humans behavior identically greedy for money and power. One of animals which almost extinct are American Bison in The United States. Many years ago, when amount of Bison was large, American Bison was peacefully life near humans, especially Native Americans. Bison were providing them with food, shelter, clothing, and spiritual inspiration. However, bison were begun to extinct after Europeans come to America; they slaughtered bison for clothing, sports, robe, tongue, etc. The extinction of Bison was affecting to Native American and environment.
Furthermore, Native American was living with Bison for thousand years ago, so without Bison they would be forced to leave or starve. Their relationship was very strong at that time, each of them was supply something for their life. For example, Native American plant grass as a food for Bison; likewise, Bison also provide many things for Native American like clothing and food. So, Bison was playing an important role in this life especially in Native American’s life. As a result, they really took care about Bison’s life even make a conservation place, where Bison can reproduce themselves to preserve their generations.
The other effect of Bison’s extinction is the balance of ecosystem or as known as environment. All of these things in the world need something to complete the life cycle. Wolves eat Bison, Bison eat grass, grass give energy to soil as a mineral for land life, for instance. If Bison were loss, some of part in ecosystem being incomplete. Environmentalist really took care about this case – the extinction of American Bison – because it is important to tend the balance of environment.
Therefore, the Bison, which still being life, must be preserved in a special place. Bison are found in both publicly and privately conservation places. For example, Custer State Park in South Dakota, one of the largest publicly conservation place in the world, Yellowstone National Park, Henry Mountains in Utah, Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota, and on Elk Island in Alberta, Canada. Finally, if we want to balance the environment we have to preserve Bison in a good place and treat them in a good way.
