Significant life

In order to lead a significant life one must be happy with themselves and their accomplishments by striving to be the best they can be. They positively impact the lives of people around them.

My grandpa Uhing lead a significant life. Even though he worked everyday at his seemingly never ending list of things to do, he always made time for his family. He could make anybody smile, and just being around him made my day better.

Significant Life

In order to lead a significant life a person must have happiness and also feel satisfaction in their life.

I think Tony Dungy has lead a significant life. Not only did he become the first african american coach to win a Super Bowl, he also overcame struggles throughout his life. One of them being the death of his son. This made him one of the most respected leaders the NFL has ever seen. It never seemed like he wanted to be the center of attention. He was a soft-spoken coach, and motivated his players without yelling at them. This earned the respect of his palyers and was why he was one of teh most inspirational leaders.

A Significant Life

To lead a meaningful life is to be happy. It is more than making money or fame though. It's about impacting peoples lives and being open enough to have people impact yours.

I know it sounds cliche but I think both my parents have lead significantly. They're not rich or doctors and not all of their dreams will ever come true, but they give and they give. They take the punches with the tide and hold it all together as great as they do. My biggest worries are research papers and scholarship applications, but my father was facing fatherhood when he was my age. So instead of being a coward, he decided to raise this lovely human being that is my brother and in turn learn from him. My mom is the most determined person I know. Through the blood, mud, and grit she's never once thrown in the towel and taught us never give up something we feel passionate about or on the people we love.

Meaningful

For me leading a significant meaningful life is doing what makes one happy. They must do what makes them happy and meaningful for themselves and not what others think is meaningful. It is a personal definition.

Leading a significant life

The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. How you live your life is different from everyone else that is why your meaning of life is different than others. Also, have happiness, and live without regrets. But living without regrets means don't dwell on the past it does not mean live without mistakes.

My parents are a good example of leading a significant life. They have lived there life to the fulliest. They are very happy people and enjoy every moment they have with my brothers and I or themselves. They live without dwelling on the past. They move on and learn from there mistakes. They know that making mistakes is a good thing because they always learn from them and make the best of the situation.

Success? Say what?

I believe leading a successful and meaningful life is to live freely and happily with the choices one has made.-Opinion

A successful life is all up to the owner of the life. It is based on their outlook and perspective. A middle-wage job with no family might seem pretty good to a poor man. However, it may not seem very successful to the rich man. If you want to be successful, then try to be, and you will.

I believe my parents have lived successful lives. After failing the first time, they managed to perfectly raise a young boy whom is now 18 years of age. They are failing with their next two kids, but they're getting the hang of it again.

In my opinion, in order to lead a significant life one must first find out where they want to go in life. This can be summed up as a general life goal or destination. But to be significant, the goal or destination does not necessarily have to be reached. However, the effort and determination that is required must be present at all times.

I believe that President Theodore Roosevelt led a significant life. He saw a need for change and development during his presidential years and he worked towards this goal. He was a very innovative person and used his passion for life to help reshape America.

Leading a Significant Life

I believe that leading a significant life can be very difficult. I believe that it is not just getting past life's many obstacles, but going above and beyond and doing it with a good attitude. I believe that to lead a significant life, you have to make an impact and change lives in a positive way. You have to inspire others to be everything that THEY can be, regardless of the obstacles they face.

I believe Ray Charles lead a very meaningful life. Not only did he come from absolute poverty, but he also became blind at a very young age. However, Ray overcame his blindness and learned to play the piano, very well obviously. He then went on to become one of the greatest musicians who ever lived. He inspired others to overcome their own handicaps and set their minds on squeezing every last drop they could out of life.

How to Lead a Significant Life

My Definition
Living a meaningful life means making the most of every moment we are given.  A significant life has purpose, direction, and realistic goals - all of which are achieved through perseverance.  If one is living a significant life, they are seeking to better the society they live in while still enjoying everything that the world has to offer. 

Example
I believe that Abraham Lincoln led a very significant life. He was born into a poor family, and even at an early age, nothing was ever handed to him.  Abraham Lincoln worked hard for all of the successes that came his way.  Although he was a travelling, poorly-educated attorney, he had monumental aspirations in life. He will always be known as one of the best presidents of the United States and as the man who gave freedom to countless African American people.  Even though his life was cut short, his legacy lives on as a hero in our society.

Leading a significant life

Living a significant life isn’t necessarily easy. It’s not always about how much fun we have or how much we enjoy what we’re doing, but is instead about how we have expanded and progressed, and what we have gained or learned.
It’s all about what you were able to learn and how you grew as a person. If you have a passionate vision, pursue this vision with true tenacity, and always look for significant moments, what once was boring and meaningless starts to be full of life and exuberance.

Leading a Significant Life

To lead a significant life, one must do something they are passionate about. They should not just settle for anything, and pursue their dreams. One’s life must have meaning to them in some way or another. They should not just sit around and do nothing, because they are doing nothing significant with their lives. One may choose to live a meaningful and significant life. It is up to each individual how they want their lives to be.

I believe that Oprah has lead a significant life. She was born into poverty to a single teenage mother who raised her in the inner city. She began her dream with starting a job at the local radio. She took off from there. She let no one person stand in her way. To some people, she is considered the most influential woman in the world. She has helped so many people in her lifetime, and she has definitely lead a significant and meaningful life.

Significance in life

A person leads a significant life when they change the lives of others for the better.  Whether it is from a kind word or a good deed to telling someone what they need to hear not what they want to hear.  Leading a significant life means that you could look back at everything that you have done and be able to say if i where never born the world would be worse than it is right now.  
Mother Teresa led a significant life by doing good deeds and showing others how to do good deeds.  She helped millions and showed others how to do it.  The world would have been a much darker place without her presence.

Leading a Significant Life

“If I live the life I’m given, I won’t be scared to die.”  This quote from The Avett Brothers song “The Once and Future Carpenter” makes me think of what it means to live a significant life.  To me, living a significant life means living in the moment, being fully present, and making an impression on the people you love.  To live a significant life, you don’t need to be famous or rich or powerful, you just need to be the best person you can be.

I feel like I have been blessed to live around several people who have lived the life they were given.  One of them is my grandpa, Burnell Johnson.  It has been almost a year since he passed away, but when I think of my grandpa, I think of a man who loved his life and loved the people in it.  Seldom could you spend any time with my grandpa without feeling better.  His quick wit and his goofy mannerisms always made us laugh.  His positive outlook on life always made us think better of ourselves and the future.  Most importantly, the way I felt when I was with my grandpa was best expressed in one word:  loved.  He lived a simple life in a small town in North Dakota, but he lived a happy life, set a great moral example, spent a lot of time doing the things he loved to do, and became a friend to those he met along the way.  He truly lived the life he was given.

My grandpa may not have made a difference for millions of people, but he was significant to his friends and his family.  He made a difference to me not just in the way he made me feel or how he made me laugh but how he lived his life.  If I can live a life of purpose and goodness like Grandpa Johnson did, I will feel like I truly am living the life I’ve been given.  It would be an honor to someday be compared to my grandpa.

Leading a significant life

Michaela's Definition: Leading a significant life means that you are satisfied with what you have done. You have also impacted someone elses life, hopefully for the better.
A person who I believe that has lead a very significant life is Martin Luther King Jr. I believe this because not only did he change many peoples lives but he also greatly altered history. He was not afraid to stand up for what he believed in and change the world.

Leadership

A leader is someone who doesnt settle for what some call "good enough". A good leader will strive to be the best he can be and lead the people around him to do the same. A good leader is someone who takes the blame when something goes wrong and gives the credit to the others when things go right.

My example of a good leader is Marin Luther King Jr.

A leader leads by example not by Force. ~Sun Tzu

A leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He inspires the power and energy to get it done. ~Ralph Nader

"Leadership is the capacity to transform vision into reality."
 - Warren G. Bennis

"Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower."
 - Steve Jobs

Leadership oftentimes goes undetected. Some people may not realize other people that are good leaders, and sometimes good leaders do not recognize that they are leading. However, everybody can recognize the traits that each leader possesses that make them a great person. I believe that a good leader is a person that always seeks to find the greater cause in all situations; one who makes the best of each situation and strives to help others.

I believe that Winston Churchill is a great leader. He was faced with the task to completely turn his country around in World War II. He never once mentioned surrendering because it was completely out of the question. The result? He helped others and himself to stay determined when the going got tough which helped change the course of the war.

"You cannot be a leader, and ask other people to follow you, unless you know how to follow, too."

— Sam Rayburn

 

"The older I get the less I listen to what people say and the more I look at what they do."

— Andrew Carnegie

 

All leaders start out as followers. True leaders speak through their actions and not their words. Leaders have the determination to accomplish just about anything.

I think that George Washington is a great example of a leader. He was a strong, loyal, and dedicated man. He fought for what he believed in and did not back down

 

 

I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.
~Michael Jordan

 

Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.

 ~Dale Carnegie

Success is learning from your mistakes and the ability to accomplish ones goals. Some may achieve success through fame and fortune, others will achieve success by breaking their goals. I think that success is defined differently from person to person.
