Unit 8: “PERFORMING AT YOUR BEST”

Task: WRITE AN OPINION ESSAY

A) Brainstorm:
My main ideas

Resilience is about not giving up and learn from mistakes.

Empathy helps us understand and connect with others.

Both resilience and empathy are key to true success.

THE PATH TO SUCCESS: RESILIENCE AND EMPATHY

In the grand scheme of human success, a high IQ score does not determine greatness.
I'm good at recognizing that there are two essential qualities that consistently stand out when
considering a person successful: resilience and empathy. These characteristics not only form the
basis of personal fulfillment, but also significantly influence how one interacts and moves in the
world. This is how I present why I consider it.

First, resilience, often considered the ability to quickly recover from adversity or
problems, is critical for any individual seeking success. If only I could express how crucial this
trait is. In life, it is inevitable to face obstacles and challenges. However, it is the ability to get
up after a fall, learn from mistakes, and move forward with renewed discipline and
determination that truly defines a successful person. Resilience is the difference between those
who quit after a fall and those who see every challenge as an opportunity to grow, improve, and
learn.

Empathy, on the other hand, is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others.
In an interconnected world, the ability to connect with others on an emotional level is crucial.
An empathetic person not only understands the emotions and perspectives of others, but also
responds to them in a thoughtful and understanding way. This quality not only improves
interpersonal relationships, but also allows for more effective collaboration and communication,
essential components for success in any field.

Considering these ideas, while there are many qualities that can contribute to the
success of an individual, resilience and empathy, for me and from experience, are essential.
These characteristics not only allow a person to overcome adversity and connect with others,
but they also lay the foundation for lasting and meaningful success.
