  1. 2) Happiness is the key to progress. You have to make your dreams a reality. Do what you love and keep trying and you will increase.

    3) The video and quote are similar by they are talking about success and happiness. They differ by the video is talking about hanging around successful people and millionaires. Meanwhile the quote is saying to follow your dreams and what you love doing and you'll be successful.

    4) This message means to me to keep trying on what I believe on. To keep trying to progress and once I get progress I will be happy. This also means to me to not give up and that everything is possible meanwhile I keep trying to increase.

    5) This message matters because if you are not doing something that you enjoy you won't be happy. You won't succeed if you are doing something that you are not enjoying. You have to do something that you love and you will see great results. You have to surround yourself with positive things and people. You have to make the effort to get what you really want.

    I can apply this to my life by keep believing in my dreams and what I want to do. I have to keep doing what I love and keep increasing. If I am not doing what I like to do then I won't be successful. I have to keep believing in myself that I can do it because it is something that I really do want to achieve. I have to keep focusing on what I love doing and I will succeed and achieve my dreams.

  3. 2) The video states that you should work hard everyday so you can get closer to your dream. It also states that you should try aiming for something big not small. The quotes is saying that if you're happy at your job then you are successful.


    3) The video and quote are similar because they both show to show that you're successful. And it's also the same because it shows that without happiness you will never be successful. However the video shows that we should always teach ourselves everyday. And the video also states that it may take 2 years to complete this goal but it will be worth it.


    4) Based upon my experience I think this means that hower much it takes to complete this goal it would be worth it. An example of this is when I first started to play soccer i didn't know how to kick the ball far but over time I completed this goal. What I learned from that is we should never give up on some things we want to accomplish. I also learned that you shouldn't be impatient just because you don't get it the first time.


    5) This message matters because it shows that anything can be achieved. And also that you just have to work hard to get that goal. You can apply this to your life by stop being impatient and just keep grinding. You can also apply this to you life by having hope and not letting your dream/goal die. What I mean by this is giving up and becoming successful.

    2. The moment you decide to give up is the moment you lose your chance to fulfill your dreams. Failure isn't an option but a choice. Work hard because everyday is a new day.

    3. Both the video and quote have differences and similarities. The video is different because it specifically talks about being on progress and staying on it. The quote talks about how success is the key to happiness. They both are similar because both the video and quote mention success and how progress and happiness is the key to it. To do something you love doing to get closer to whatever goal you're trying to acheive.

    4. The message means to me to keep trying and not give up. That it's gonna be lots of hard obstacles etc but you got to fight through it. It means to do better than you did yesterday. Also that it takes progress to get to where you want to do. To not quit on it.

    5.The video and quote matter because it can motivate and inspire others to not give up easily.To keep trying on the thing I want to do. It may take years to get there but it's worth the wait. Happiness is the serect to progress and progress is the secret to success.

    I can apply this to my life to make it better by not quitting all the time. Knowing failure isn't an option but a choice. That if I quit that it's never gonna happen. I may not by there today but each day is increasing a chance. To have pride in the work i do. that'll help alot more with effort.

  5. 2)Success is not a happiness.Happiness is the key to success, because when you start loving what you do then you'll be successful.Also make your dream a reality.But that isn't going to be easy because you need to work to what you want to do.And never give up.

    3)The quote and video are similar because they both talk about being successful.And it tells you how to be successful.TO be successful means to love what you are doing.And you need to never give up.Work hard to where you want to go.And they are both different because the video talks about how you should not give up and the quote just talks about how the happiness is the key to success.

    4)The message in the quote means to find what you are going to want to do.Because if you do something and you don't like it you are never going to be successful.To be successful you need to love what you are doing.And the video's message is telling you to increase you performance because if you don't you will not increase.You need to increase you performance to increase everything else.And you need to go to the future and live what you want to do than come back and do what you have to do to get there.

    5)This message in the quote can apply to my life to make it better because I want to play soccer when I grow up.Because when I get there I will be happy.And when Ii am happy in what I am doing then I am happy because happiness is the key to success.And when I play soccer or pro soccer I will be happy.So that means I will be successful.

    The video's message can be applied to my life to make it better because I went to the future getting an interview by reporters.I was sitting in that chair in front of the room and questions were coming at me.And I was answering all of those reporters.But then I came to the present and I realized I need to increase my performance because when I increase my performance then everything else will increase.And I need before I I do the impossible.I need to do the possible, because then I get progress.And when I get progress I will not want to stop.

    When I get to that momentum I will there is no telling where i can go.And if I quit then I will never get there.I need to never give up.I need to work hard to what I want.Because one day my dream is going to be a reality.And when I make my dream a reality.I will be successful.

  6. 1. On paper.

    2. I believe that the quote means that to get to a place you need to get past something first.The quote says that without happiness, you will no be successful. On the other hand, the video explains that to do the impossible, you need to do the possible first.

    3. I feel like that the quote and video are similar because they both explained that before you can get to the top level, you need to pass the levels below it. The quote says that happiness is the key to success and without happiness, you will not have success. The video says that to do the impossible, first you need to do the possible or else you will never get above that. The difference is that the video gave a better description and more detail about the problem and the quote doesn't.

    4.Based on my experience, this means to me that in order to get where I want to get, I have to make my way to it first and not just jump to it.The only way you can do it is by practicing and by trying your best in everything. I would do this by taking my time for everything and not just do them because I want to get them done.

    5. This message matters and I can apply it to my current situation because it teaches me that things are only accomplished when you try your best and when you really want them. If I don't like what I do then the end results will not be the same as if I actually enjoyed what I did. The results would be good but satisfying, and the point is to do something that i enjoy to get up to where I want to be. If I did something that I enjoy doing then I would have a better chance of being satisfied with the end results.

    You won't succeed if you are doing something that you are not enjoying. You have to do something that you love and you will see great results. You have to surround yourself with positive things and people. You have to make the effort to get what you really want.

  7. 1)Watched video and took notes.

    2)The video and quote were basically saying that success doesn't make you happy. We think that millionaires are happy all the time and have a perfect life, but in reality their not happy.

    3)The video and quote are similar because they both are talking about being happy. They both are talking about being successful and being happy. They differ because the quote is talking about if you love what you do you will be successful.

    4)Based upon my experience, I think the message means that you have to tell yourself that you will not quit at all. Also I think the message means that failure is not a option. I think it means in order to be happy you have to make some progress.

    5)This message matters because it's something you have to get ready to do in the real world. Sometimes it's not that easy but you have to fight through it. Progress makes you happy because when you make progress you will find your happiness. If us as humans can do progress on a regular bases we will feel great all the time. I can apply it to my life to make it better by remembering what the video and quote says and start making some progress from now on. That's how I can apply it to my life to make it better.

  8. 1) Watched

    2) Success is not the key to success being happy is the key to success.So if you love what your doing, your going to be successful.
    The video was saying that you have to do what you can do first before you try the impossible and that progress is the key to happiness and success.

    3) The video and quote share similarities but they differ in a couple things i can point out. Like how one is saying that progress is key to success and one is saying that being happy is the key to success. This is one example i'm sure there's plenty more.

    4) The message that it's saying to me is that you will get success slowly but it takes a lot of work, effort , and time. But if i take the time to do what i need to do then i will get there slowly but surely I just have to put in effort and potential.

    5) This message matters because it's important to know that success doesn't come right away it takes time. And i can use this in my life to do better at school and to get closer to my dream job

  9. 1.If you want to success ed in life the way to get there is happiness Also, if you like what you are doing you will be successful. To get some where were you want to be is to have progress.

    2.The video and the quote are similar because they both talk about success. Also they want something for each person to do to be successful. However what they want is not the same they want on one another. The quote say the key to be successful is to have happiness. The video wants them to have progress and never quit.

    3. Based upon my experience I think this mean that the key to success is happiness. However that's not the only thing it's also to never quit on what you want. Next only because you are progressing doesn't mean is going to happened in a month or in a year. But it will sometime in your future. You might not be there yet but you are there more then before.

    4. The message matter because if i want to be successful in my life i have to have happiness. Because what i'm to be successful on is something that I want to really happened in my life. Then to get there i have to keep on trying and not give up. It might not happened automatically but it will happened soon. If I quit and give up and will never happened because i'm trying to make happened.

  10. 2. basically, you have to enjoy what you are doing as a job because you can't let no one tell you anything about what you are doing.Also, each step you take in life to success you get closer to what you want to achieve.

    3. The video and quote are similar because they both talk about how you need to be happy on what you have as a job because happiness is the key to success. Also they differ because the quote is talking about how happy you need to be because you really need to be successful. Last the video is talking about how you need to wait on you're dream because it's gonna become a reality.

    4. This message means that when i get a job i have to tell myself that i want it and i will keep it because the happiness is the key to success if i have a job that i don't want i'm not gonna want to keep it because i'm gonna be miserable every time i go to the job.

    5. This message matters because how it's important to keep a job and to be happy because you want money to be good and have a good family and just live life. Also, it matters because many people are close to their dream but they just give up one day our dream is gonna become a dream.

    Also, i could apply this to my life because its very important not to give up because we don't even know how close we are to our dreams and than it doesn't matter how bad situation is we always have to be happy because it happened for a reason.Also,my ;life could be better if i do watch these videos so i could keep being inspired and motivated.

  11. 1. Watched and took notes.

    2. The quote and the video means success is always success. It can't make you happy but otherwise happiness can make you success because it likes a motivation. They used happiness to reach their goal but they not used their goal to be happy.

    3. The quote and the video are similar because they both talked about success can't make you happy but you have to feel and to see where your dream at. They also similar about how happiness is important with a person in life. They are different about is the quote most talk about success and happiness and the video most talk about how you feel yourself and to get start to make your dream become reality.

    4. Based upon my experience, the messages means to me is success is important and happiness is very important. People used feeling to decide their works but they not use their work to decide their feeling. To me, success is success but success can't give you happiness so feel yourself before you do something.

    5. The message matter to me when it said "Success is not the key to happiness". It matters because everyone including me might think that success make you feel proud of yourself and you feel happy. But try to think another way that before I do something you have to think about it or feel about it if I happy and I will do it , that is where happiness started then happiness comes first not success.

    I could apply this to my life is always think about something before I do it. I have to think about... Do I really want to do it? Does it important to me? Or something else. I have to feel it before I success.

  12. 1. To me the video and quote means that you should never give up on your dreams. You can do it you just gotta keep pushing yourself to do your best. That's the best thing to do is keep pushing till you get what you want .

    2. The video and quote are similar because . They talk about that happiness is the key not success. You have to be happy on what your doing because that's the key to success if your happy them success will come your way. You should never get upset because that messes up on what you really wanna do .

    3. Based on my experience this message means. That i should always do the best that i can do. Not just me but everybody else that seen this video and quote. You should keep doing your best because you never know what you can do when you put your mind to it. Keep doing your best and never give up because you can do something really great with your life .

    4. This message matters to my life because. It helps me make better choices in my life and to do better in school and outside of school. We only have one opportunity to do whatever you wanna do in life you should not waist your time because time is valuable . I will always try my best no matter what it is . As long as you try your very best you can do whatever you want in life.

    Life goes on and you shouldn't stop living your life . Just because times are hard don't mean you have to stop trying to have a future . You have to keep moving forward no matter what happens in life because you can make your life better than it is right now . Just keep focusing on what you need the most and that is education and happiness . That's the thing most people don't have because they either have problems at home or their just lazy its okay things happen just keep trying and pushing forward we all have bad times just keep your head up .

  13. 2.The quote is saying you can be happy the you will also be successful.It also says you can be successful but not be happy.The video is talking about how people should work and don't wait until it's a new year start working now.
    3.The video and quote are both similar because they both talk about being successful.The video and quote are different because the video is more about motivation and the quote is more advice.
    4.On my experience the quote is saying how you can be happy and successful but not successful and happy.The quote is also saying if you love what you do then you will also be successful.
    5.This message matters to me because I want to be happy and successful.I don't want to be successful,but not happy.The quote is also telling me to do what I don't like.I have to love what I do then I'll be successful.This message maters to me because I can use it later in life when I need help.The quote was also telling me to not give up to keep pushing for what I want to do.

  14. 2. In the video, it showed how finding a way to success means that you can't quit, but be persistent about your dream. It also showed how at some point it will happen by taking steps to make you closer to your goals. The quote shows how loving what you're doing is important for success because you can't get to a goal you don't like doing.
    3. The video and quote are similar because they both show how doing the best for yourself in something you love will get you successful and happy. They are different because the video is about how to get to your goal, while the quote tells us happiness is key to being truthfully successful. Another difference is that in the video it says that increasing your performance will increase everything else, but the quote only talks about happiness and loving what you do.
    4. Based upon my experience these messages mean that I need to try harder and increase my performance to get closer to success and what makes me happy. The video means that quitting and failure is not an option when it comes to becoming successful. Being around success will benefit someone because they start thinking that they can be successful too, then begin to work their way to their goal. They realize that success will come at some point, so they increase their performances to get their success. The quote means that if you aren't happy with what you do, then you haven't gotten successful. Also that loving what you do and being happy about it will make you successful.
    5. The video's message matters because I know people that have given up because of the circumstances that come with their career and never find success. The video's message shows how to encourage people to increase their performance so they can see and meet their goals. I can apply it to my life because one thing that was stated in the video was "determine to read one book a month, in five years you'll be one of the top experts in the world". This caught my attention because I feel that it could make a great goal for me to try and achieve. If I start working on myself now instead of later will bring me steps closer to my goal.
    The quote’s message matters because the video stated that over 80% of the population doesn’t enjoy their career. This connection between the video and quote is important because it can be avoided. Many of those people can find their true dream and work towards it by being encouraged to do so. Loving what I do in the future, being happy, and proud about it will help me get to where I want to be. I can apply this to my life to make it better by finding anything that makes me happy and turn it into a goal for the future, so I can later enjoy my life better than I would have.

  15. 2. The video is explaining how to be successful through progression of our life choices. The quote is stating that one can only be successful if they are happy.
    3. The video and quote are similar in their reason of being on YouTube. The reason is to help people be happy and successful. The differences are the views on each of the qualities; the quote is saying to be successful, one needs happiness. The video is the exact opposite; to be happy, one needs success.
    4. The message is that i need happiness to be successful, I have felt no success when I am sad. I agree with the quote since It has proven itself more in many a plethora of scenarios. Jesus was always a happy man, so he was very successful.
    5. I can apply this lesson to my life to make sure I can reap the benefits of what I sow for my success. The message matters in that I can teach and be taught the benefits of happiness so I can feel success in my life time, and have others feel the same way. I will be successful in love, compassion and alms. people will be happy and may want to help others, making them happier. I will also be happier because people are helping each other out and not being mean. This is how I can apply it to my life.

  16. 1.What I know that I understand about the video was that never stop never give up for what you wanna do. The quote said like the same thing.

    2.The way that I think that the video and quote its because they talk about the same thing . Its about never giving up and happiness. if you wanna be happy then do things write.

    3.The messages mean a lot to me because it helps me a lot because a wanna be happy. I wanna be happy and do things right because i really wanna be happy. so i wanna do things right.

    4.These message matters to me because i wanna be happy like being happy feels so good and by being happy you have to do things right and never give up cause if you give up you will never be or do what you wanna be or do in the future.

  17. 2.)Well the quote and video are just trying to say that if you still cant find the happiness well that means that you are not happy with the things you are doing so that's why you cant be successful.And you need to change something so you can be successful.

    3.)The quote and the video are alike because they both talk about the happiness that you want or need.They both talk about success and how you are going to be successful if you like what your doing.They also differ because in the video it talks about progress and how it equals to happiness.And the video talks about how failure is not an option.

    4.)Well to me the quote just means that if you want to achieve something and feel good about it then you should feel happy on what you are working on to get there.If you are not happy with what you are working on to get there then you should just move on to something that helps you and makes you happy.If you then feel happy on what you are working on then you should see progress on that thing that you want to accomplish.You love what your doing then you will actually succeed in your life and make it where ever you want to get to.

    5.)This message really matters to me because it's true if you are hating the thing your doing right now and it's keeping you from succeeding and living miserable.Well then you should do something to make you happy and something you love so you can achieve something that you are happy with.Like the video said even though you hate the thing the you are doing right now and you want to quit because you think it will never happen.Well your wrong because failure is not an option.You just need to look at the problem by a different angle to figure it out.

    I will put this in my life because if i really don't like something and it's not getting me where i want to be then it's time for me to change something.If i give up i won't be able to get to the place i want to get to.I need to follow my dream and what to do so i can actually accomplish it.I have to do what my soul desires so i can get where i want to be and get to my dream.I learned from the video that failure is not an option.So i need to try my best to find something i will like and make myself happy with what i"m doing.

    2.The quote and the video mean that you got to be successful and do what you are capable of doing.You got to see yourself as in a successful person to increase your performent.If you are going for your goals you got to make it happen.Make your dream in to a reality in order to do that you got to be a positive person.

    3.The video and the quote are similar because they are both saying that in order for someone to be successful they got to think positive and do the right things to be successful.If you quit it is never going to happen.The secret of happiness is progress.They are differ because if you don't do the right things for successful you won't be nowhere.Before you can do the impossible you got to do the possible.


    4.based upon my experience this means to me that you got to try hard to be successful and do what you can and capable.Whatever your dream is, whatever your goal is you can make it happen.If you do the right things your life is going to change you got to feel yourself doing the right things.You have to work hard in order for you to be successful and make your dream happen to a reality.The secret of happiness is the progress that the person wants to do and be successful.This is about success and how to make something possible.

    5.This matters because it is telling us that in order to be successful you got to follow the steps to be successful in life.In order for someone to be successful they got to do the right stuff to be a successful person.If you're to quit , if you stop then you will never see it.

    I can apply this to my life by doing the right thing in life and make something possible instead of impossible.It will maybe take more than 6 months in order for someone to be successful.

    2 . happy is not something you want to get rid of and throw away its just something that puts a smile on your face and how and what makes you not normal but better in life . this video talks about how happiness can make you successful in life and how it makes you become somebody your not , like don't be acting like a regular person live your life to the fullest .

    3 . they are both the same because happiness isn't something that messes up your life its something that you feel that makes you happy and makes you proud of your accomplishment . but like they both talk about how how you will get some where in life and it will make you not be mad and selfish . but its not the same because you wouldn't be somewhere and you would be nobody to anyone .

    4 . based on my experience like i said before why do people smile to much , maybe because they like and is proud of what they do for others or someone in particular but like i felt the same like i like doing good things and like helping anyone that needs help because it makes me as a better person smile and be happy in what i like to do .

    5 . i can applied to my life because like i said i like making people smile and thanking me for what ive have done for them and what i have showed that i can make of better of myself . but like it matters to me because everyone's life is nothing but there dream and what they believe in , so not everyone can smile but you still have to make the best of you and your life dont get mad at the things people say about you .
