Most people try to success their goal and dream. For example, someone want to be a doctor or famous singer. Another person hopes to maintain their family's health. It doesn't matter whether their dream is huge or small. Every dream is very valuable. Do you have dream? If you have, what are you doing for your dream? you also work hard for your dream. Some people said "There are no shortcuts to life's greatest achievements." I agree with the this statement because in my opinion, if I desire to do something, I have to invest in my time, effort, trust.
First, we need time which we can prepare our goals. In my case, I arrange for TOEFL test. We require to study about this test. Many vocabulary are very unfamiliar with me, and I can't read without pencil or pen now because I am accustomed to read with them. As a results, I have to study hard getting specific score. Even though I study hard for short time, it may be impossible to success. Not only could it relate to study but it could associate with most goals. If you want to make a lot of money, you have to work or do investment for specific period.
Second, we require to do our best. I think we can't achieve our dream without our effort as you know. A defrauder or thief who steal in order to money without their effort will go to prison. It's kind of radical example, yet we can't make a success without struggle. We must practice which can lead to accomplishment. Do you have a memory which you achieve something? If you have this kinds of experience, you can notice my intention.
Finally, we have to trust yourself. I want to say that we need to act with confidence. Although everyone can't believe your ability, you should have confidence about your ability. When I had a interview with my university professor for admission, I believed that I will get into this university, so I could talk loudly and clearly. I believe that It could give me success. we should be convinced that you can do with achievement if you want life's greatest achievements.
In summary, I think there are no shortcuts to greatest achievements. When I strive for my dream, I always try to remember three things such as time, effort, confidence. It can lead me to accomplishment. Try if you also can achieve your goal or not. I hope you can get a good result by this way.
I AGREE whit the following statement:
¨There are no shortcuts to life´s greatest achievments"
For me it means if we want to do some goal or achievment we have to work hard and we have to keep our goal until we can get it, even though the goal could be very difficult.
In Mexico we have one quote very similar and I like it a lot: ¨If you want to do something very important you most work very hard, because, if it weren´t very hard all the people could do it¨, so in that case that thing become no important because all the people can do it.
For example in my case: I remeber one story that my dad told me long time ago and I will never forget, i will summarisze:
I told my dad I want to be a doctor dad, really but, I am not sure because I have to study a lot and it could be extremely difficult, I was reneging or kind of angry because I want it but is very difficult, and he told me somthing like this: If be a doctor were very easy, all the people could be without effort.
Also I think all this kind of things difficult I like it, actually I think it likes to a lot of people, because with the important and with the difficult things your life gets more interesting, the life would be very boring if everything were very easy, we need work hard for something or even for someone, but my meaning isn´t everything very difficult, just we have to fight for make our goal or achievment and then we are goin to apreciatte more that thing.
So for me this course is good, everybody says that iBT TOEFL test course is very difficult but if you read this comment you will know we have to be pacient and we can be succesfull.

I am not sure if we have to leave the homework here.

I agree with the idea. Though there are lots of obstacles in our way to achieve something great in our lives, persistance never betrays us in the long term.
We could gain wealth and reputation without sincere means. We could solve really serious prsblems without thorough reflection. We could do our homework just with copying someone else's work.
But if there isn't something deep in our work, can it last for a ling time? I don't think so. The rich who has earned money improperly will eventually lose their wealth. Insincere politicians will be ignored by their voters. Solution without deep consideration couldn't be deep but temporary. Cheating homework give us no chance to learn.
So speaking of great achievements in our lives, I think they should be gained in sincere and constant efforts.
Yes, in my opinion there are no shortcuts to life’s greatest achievement, because any things that we must do it step by step. It is very important to get what you want. I think that it is also the best way to reach your goal. I don’t know what the life’s greatest achievement is because, everyone’s goal is different. For example, most people desire to become a rich man or woman, but some of them don’t want to work hart to be rich. They just have their daydreams or buy the lotteries and then expect to win. Some of them don’t want to be rich, who just make their dream come true. Like me, the first aim is to learn English very well then I will get close to my goal. So, I trust that people just daydream their dream will never come true.
I agree with the statement "There are no shortcuts to life's greatest achievements"
In my opinion,nothing you can reap without sowing.Everyone has their own dream,but if they achieve their goals too easily,it will no sense of achievement.
The best example is how to make your English better!Yes,the only way is to study everyday,learning everyday and review everyday.You couldn't become a foreigner or an English master in one day,because it needs step by step.You have to accumulate your language power by study hard.
Everyone wants be a rich man,like millionaire or billionaire,so they have enough money to do anything they want.But how many people can be that?So they figure out another way to get rich more quickly is to buy the lottory making their dreams come true.
Maybe it's possible,but the probablity is too low.The better way to attain your goals,I think,is still work hard to save your money then doing something about investment to comulate your fortune.Stop thinking about be a billionaire only depend on winning in lottory.It's idealistically,don't just be a dreamer.
All in all,if you have a dream,what you have to do is to make efforts to succeed in ahcieving your target!
I agree. Maybe, all of people know about that the statement, so people
concentrate upon their goal. We can't be got for nothing. Therefore most people endeavor after happiness.
I want to tell the other side. The way of achievement is difficult and hard. As the result some people are addicted to gambling, or buy a lottery. They dream of making a fortune at storke. That is easy to achieve. If you get lots of money as those way, it is not achievemet. It's easy come, easy go.
Just because you have much money that is not achievement. you should try to achieve your goal. Of course, to achieve my dream, I will bust my chops.
I certainly agree with this statement.becauese it's not only one of my life's mottos to cheer up myself in frustration of reaching to my goal, but also is the encouraging lesson that almost all of people believe in.If you desire a great achievemet,no matther how long it takes you should keep it in mind.
Additionaly, here is some reasons to suppot my idea about this deeply meaningful statement.
Firstly,there is no easy and insignificance step to the life's achievement, as if the goal of each indivisual life is important, the process of getting close to the each one's is important as well.
Secondly,if you want shortcuts to your goal, the number of your chances to taste the fruit of effort will decrease.it dosen't reward anything for the unpassionated goal.
Moreover, we can't be satisfied with the effortless fruit.
sometime I feel like being tested by the rough depair in my life however, throughhout experiences of pursuing my purpose,I've gotten a strongly trained spirit,body as well as patience.
I'm still on the race that nobody know the end.ultimately, with the motivation stiil stimulating my challenge by telling "nothing is impossible, with the endless effort"
I agree with the idea.
The result without effort becomes impoverished.
I believe in things that are developed through hard work.
I always like people who have developed long and hard, especially through introspection and a lot of dedication.
Especialy in the music,I think what they arrive at is usually a much deeper and more beautiful thing than the person who seems to have that ability and fluidity from the beginning.
I hear musicians playing with great fluidity and complete conception early on and I don't have that ability.
I had to know what I was doing. And yet ultimately it proved that these people weren't able to carry their thing very far.
I found myself being more attracted to artists who have developed through the years and become better and deeper musicians.
So,it is my major in music but also everything are no shortcuts to achievements.
