Achieving success in life means different things to different people: for example, some judge it by social interactions; some by academic achievements; some by the acquisition of great wealth.
In order to achieve our goals, we must first identify them but then, just as importantly, we need to adopt the strategies that will help us to succeed. Many people do not achieve success, despite having the skills and knowledge to do so, because they lack clear ideas of what is possible; they underestimate their abilities and set their goals too low; they lack the tenacity to persist.
These cards challenge the ideas surrounding success and aim to raise expectations in all, especially those students who have a less-privileged background and who therefore may lack adult support and guidance. By raising the topic of success through discussion, students have an opportunity to develop the following key skills and attitudes:
· Self belief and confidence in one’s own abilities
· Realising the importance of goal-setting
· Understanding the need of planning for success
· Understanding what success means to them
· Persistence and tenacity
· Understanding the importance of social interaction and networking
