В январе этого года команда молодых фанатов английского языка во главе с руководителями, учителем английского языка Еленой Николаевной Держуриной и учителем информатики, Оксаной Александровной Лебедевой, приняли участие в региональном интернет-проекте «Талант. Творчество. Дисциплина. Успех» и стали обладателями гран-при конкурса. Вашему вниманию материалы, представленные командой «Эврика» на этот конкурс.
What is “success” made of? Is it rapid popularity or a life-long way? Is it fantastic persistence or a magical destiny?
In our opinion, success really has three dimensions: Talent, Creativity and Discipline. To prove it we turned into Hogwarts students and tried to make “the elixir of success”. The most important ingredient is talent – a divine gift of making marvelous masterpieces. As a child Joanne Rowling wrote fantasy stories for her sister. In 1990, when she was on a train trip, the idea for a story of a young boy attending a school of wizardry “came fully made into her mind”. As for creativity, it is also significant; it means countless hours of inspiration and the freedom of using imagination. Rowling’s creativity does not know any borders as she has built the whole Fantasy Empire! And in the last place but not the least important is discipline: the structure of the day, hard work and dedication. Joanne Rowling’s example shows that discipline can push out if you fail. Seven years after graduating from university Rowling saw herself as a failure. Her marriage failed, and she was jobless with a dependent child. However, she described her failure as “liberating and allowing to focus on writing”!
However, some people believe that success can come quickly, without much effort. They are sure that talented people have to do nothing as success is predetermined and can bring them all: fame, respect and money. Other people do nothing, but envy those who are more successful. They can be compared with Rowling’s “Dementors” which drain peace, hope and happiness out of the air around them.
We cannot agree with the opposing opinion. Being a self-made billionaire, Rowling carries on working hard and lives at deadlines. She is announcing future “Harry Potter” projects: theme parks and a new website “Pottermore”. Rowling is trying her hand at new genres such as detective stories and political fairy-tales. In other words, she dreams, but does her best to realize the plans. She has found her own place in modern literature where she is unrivalled.
All key elements of success are important. However, it has one more secret – sharing! Joanne Rowling supports a lot of charity projects. Her life story inspires readers, authors and film makers all over the globe. Undoubtedly, success comes to those who share talent, creativity and wealth with others.
