This article focuses on why people choke. Using comparisons to tennis, which was well done, there are certain things that may trigger some to choke and/or panic. Now there is a definitive difference between the two. There are psychological reasoning's for why we may panic or choke under pressure and how this can affect numerous people under going many different types of situations.

Right off the bat, this article sends a message across. Others may perceive this message differently but I see this message as a parents bumper sticker showing off their successes and this has the biggest impact on children. Even growing up, the way your parents praise you really makes a difference. I'm using this article because children to full grown adults can learn a lesson from this article.

In an article written by Paul Tough, he brings a comparison of schools in the Bronx to demonstrate the evaluation of success. Tough also examines how education systems could/do have an affect on the future of their students and their success rates. Bringing a 23 year educator in the mix, Dominic Randolph talks about how as he was building his career he really focused on the whether of not "...schools should impart good character". I found this interesting because this took the outlook on success and failure to a totally different aspect that other articles didn't do and this would deem very helpful to my essay.

Being angry about not enough students being sent to Ivy league schools...giving an example of what the richest people in the Bronx deal with (can compare to the lowest income in the Bronx)

The entire set up of this essay is great. its giving you background information that you will later use to interpretations of success and failure and what causes this. The background and settings to which a student grows up in can have an affect on these success/failure rates

This articles focuses on the point of success that you personally would like to reach and what you do when you finally reach that point. The author, Scott Adams gives tips from himself using his past experiences as well as excerpts from others who have dealt with either the strive to success, or those who have reached that peak and continue to search for ways to exceed that peak of success or stay at that level. I plan on using this article in my essay towards the end of it specifically, to sort of end with having the reader think about their personal terms of success and what that means to them.

What do you do once you've achieved what you consider to be your personal level of success? Moving forward to something better and better...but what if there is no such thing as better? As an entrepreneur, this must be overpasses in ways that we must venture out towards ourselves.

How do we avoid this?

Does passion really drive us to success or failure? Being passionate about something doesn't necessarily always mean we will be successful in a business for example, just because we love what we are doing doesn't mean we are going to gain the most from it.

Think about using these terms.
