In my opinion, the current definition of success is aimed at killing people so that they do not achieve their goals. In my opinion, success is achieving goals. Hard work and some luck lead to success. I don't know if any of the tips in the movie can help me succeed. Man learns his mistakes best. It is painful, difficult but informative at the same time. For me, the "person of success" is my dad because he has achieved a lot from nothing. He owes everything to his hard work and skills he has acquired over the years.

1. What is success and what leads to success for you?
For me to be a successful person means having a balance in the main life aspects such as career, health, family, and friends. I believe that living without one of these aspects will not bring me happiness. Achieving this balance is not easy, you should be able to adapt to circumstances, understand which of these factors is now in decline and try to focus on it.

2. Will any of these tips help you on your path to success?
I think yes, these tips from the video seem very simple and well-known but they can be very useful for achieving success in my professional way. For me, the most challenging advice is pushing myself and belief in my skills.

3. Who is a "person of success" for you and why?
For me, a "person of success" are people who feel happy from what they are doing at work and how they are living. It is not necessary to have a billion dollars and a few luxuries car. It is enough to live in harmony and be enjoyed in life.
I can say that I am successful. For me being successful means being happy about my life and feeling that it is right in the place where it should be. Having loving family, a lot of friends, a good job, doing well at the university and having a lot of fun, these are few of the most important things that need to be fulfilled in order to achieve success in my opinion. If these conditions are met, then You are on a good way to be successful at this moment and in the future. I don’t know if the tips from the video will help me, I think that I have my own ways of doing and seeing things and as long as I feel that I am satisfied I don’t need to use any other suggestions. Answering Your last question, as I said above a person who fulfilled these rules and who is overall happy about his life can be called a “person of success”.

1.
Success in personal terms is being content with who I am, what I do and being
validated by other people in what I do. What leads to it, probably the things
listed in the video, so pushing yourself, hard work, ideas, networking etc.

2.
I think those are quite generall tips that a a lot of people knew already. I think
that the key here is to apply them in life which is difficult.

3.
I don't think there a single definition but for me it's someone that does something in life
that either gives him a lot of money or huge respectable knowledge in some fields.

1. What is success and what leads to success for you?

"Success" is the magic word. It has a slightly different meaning for everyone. Success is the successful outcome of a project, the achievement of a goal. It depends on what goals someone has. For one goal is a happy family, for another the goal is to be a part of the company or to gain assets. For me, success is a healthy life without many problems. In my opinion, success is most often told by those who want to sell us something. Sellers tell us that buying their item or service will allow us to achieve success. This results in the concept of success as a trading tool to drive sales.

2. Will any of these tips help you on your path to success?

I'm trying to adapt to the current reality. I don't think any of this advice is useful to me. Such advice will be useful to people who have a certain purpose. I don't assume anything. I think I'm living the moment.
3. Who is a "person of success" for you and why?

In my opinion, the Man of Success is an intelligent man with a lot of knowledge in the field from which the directors draw. He knows how to use his intellectual potential and is able to overcome any limitations that stand in his way. And more importantly, thanks to what he has achieved, he can motivate others to act.

1. I think being successful means enjoying what you are doing and being valuable in society.
For me success is being rich, famous and smart, i. e is being valuable in society.
2. I am not sure, I think it is usual tips I have heard many times and you can find them in each YouTube video about success. I think everyone knows that if you want to be successful, you have to work hard and stay positive.
3. All rich people. Because they have power and they affect to the young people. We have a lot of books about how they reached success.
Yubin said…
1. What is success and what leads to success for you?
In my opinion, everyone has different path in life, he like metal music, she like pop music. He like freestyle football, she like common football. Doing minority of things without being known to the major public can also be very successful. So I think success is being effectual on our own path.

2. Will any of these tips help you on your path to success?
I think these tips are quite usual, we can also come up with some of these tips, just need a bit logical thinking and focus. Besides, the most important factors that not everyone can get through hard work are luck and opportunity. If there is no Nikola Tesla who was not famous, I think Edison would have no opportunity to be known.

3. Who is a "person of success" for you and why?
Nikola Tesla who was a true genius and inventor but had been being stolen lots of inventions by other famous "inventor". I think I have to thank him that I can type comments on the computer now.
1. What is success and what leads to success for you?
Success is the situation when you reach your goals. If you ask about life success it depends to person. Everyone want to achieve something else and some of them don't want to change anything. I want to achieve a lot of things... For example it would be nice to create something and have money just to keep doing new things and enjoy life.

2. Will any of these tips help you on your path to success?
In my opinion this tips are quite simple and there is nothing innovated but of course it can be helpful to achive something.

3. Who is a "person of success" for you and why?
For me person of success is someone who is smart, with huge achievements and who is happy from his life.

1. What is success and what leads to success for you?
Success means something different for everyone, we have to define it for ourselves. Some people want to be millionaires, others to stay in good health. There are also those who measure success by a number of people around them who they can trust. I think I share all these ideas to some extent.

2. Will any of these tips help you on your path to success?
I think these tips are a common knowledge and examples of cheap ‘coaching’. You can repeat these slogans in the morning after you wake up, write them on the walls, but what matters is hours and hours of beating on your craft.

3. Who is a "person of success" for you and why?
It’s someone who takes pride in how they lead their life until now. Success is not having regrets, being happy with the outcome of your decisions. I think this is the best answer given that people have different priorities in life.

Nice movie but I have a slightly different opinion about him. I believe that everyone has their own effective way to achieve success.
The curiosities about success shown in the film, unfortunately, do not appeal to me because I always follow my paths and do not need
advice from others. I think that for a person who does not have his own path it can be helpful. The fact is that success is sought
hard work and determination

Who is a "person of success" for you and why?
My father because he had a hard time in his life and yet he did everything
1. What is success and what leads to success for you?
It’s not an easy task to define success. For me success is everything I need to be happy eg. have a good job and loving family. To be successful we need hard working for that. Do everything in our power to achieve goals. We need to be patient and wait for a good moment to attack. Family and friends support is important to overcome bad moments and don't stop fighting to dreams come true.

2. Will any of these tips help you on your path to success?
I think many of tips presented in video will help me on my path to success. Hard working, have a good idea, have passion and be persist are very important to achieve goals and be a successful man.

3. Who is a "person of success" for you and why?
For me a „person of success” is a person who never give up and fight fair to achieve goals. A person with passion and persist to realize dreams.
Klaudia Kozioł said…
1. For me success is achieving a goal that I made for myself. What leads to this? Honestly it depends on what we want to achieve.
2. Probably yes, and few of them are actually helping me right now but I guess I have to wait for their results to see if they really work
3. For me a “person of success” is someone who is enjoying his private life, work and every day opens for this person new opportunities.
1. What is success and what leads to success for you?

Success is when you achieved your goals. But it shouldn't be fixed, like "I want to have one million dollars on my account". Every day small achievements should be perceived as success.

2. Will any of these tips help you on your path to success?

I think that these slogans aren't very helpful. It's another example of a wrong way of coaching things.

3. Who is a "person of success" for you and why?

Someone who found joy in doing things and is changing a world to a better place. Not money for sure.
Olga Bogdał said…
1. For me a success is doing what you love and being able make money of it.
2. It was interesting but I feel as there was nothing that I would have not know about before.
3. For me it is a person that made something out of their passion and hard work. It takes a lot of strength and self-esteem to fulfill your dreams no matter what that is.
1. I'd say that success is satisfying one's needs, the feeling of fulfillment. It could be different for everybody, some can feel successful in building a career and others having a great social life. To me, to become successful, would be to get a job within my passion so I wouldn't have to work a day :) (and yes, that's a Stan Lee's quote)

2. I have created my own path to success and I'm following it quite ok ;) Nevertheless, I agree with the 7 points from the video. I would say that the first one is the most important, so to fall in love with what you do.

3. I think I'm going to go with Stan Lee as I already mentioned him before. He is a creator of Marvel universe, once small nerdish comic books and cartoons, now a huge fandom known around the globe. His passion for his work was incredible what let him achieve greatness and success.
1. What is success and what leads to success for you?

Doing. Just it - by doing things we learn new things, new ways of doing same things, we practise and achive our goals. It's so simple - To do anything we want we just need to make step one, there is nothing more needed.

2. Will any of these tips help you on your path to success?

This tips are pretty common concepts for someone for whom self-development isn't a new thing but I think - yes it will deffinitly help to achive success.

3. Who is a "person of success" for you and why?

Well nowadays it's hard to meassure. But i believe that there are two indicators - happines of life and how much money you have. If you have happy life it's just it - it's success and when you have a lot of many you can do a lot of great things and make your dreams come true.

1. What is success and what leads to success for you?

Success is when we succeed. The easiest way to succeed is to achieve small successes. The sum of small successes equals great success. For me to succeed is simply to realize what I assumed. It doesn't matter if small or big is always a success.

2. Will any of these tips help you on your path to success?

Good advice is not bad. So any idea that can guarantee success is good. I will analyze what is presented in the material and try to use what I think is ok. If it works, let you know.

3. Who is a "person of success" for you and why?

A successful man for me is Donald Trump. I will only say that he managed to win the election - respect.
I agree with you, we live in strange times, rat race times. It's very sad, but unfortunately true. Only with hard work and consistency we can achieve the goal.
When choosing this film, I thought it was so simple, but after a long thought I came to the conclusion that I did not put them into practice. By following their principles, success and life satisfaction could be easier.
I am glad that in this way you understand the concept of success and that you are satisfied with your life. Nowadays, when everyone is busy working and making money, it is good to hear that values ​​such as family and friends are still valid.
I also think that, there isn't only one definition of success. As I mentioned at the beginning, success means something different to everyone, because everyone has a different value system. However, success always leads to happiness and joy.
Very well said. There are many rules or tips that will help you achieve your goal, but only through hard work can we succeed and be happy with it.
I see that for you, success means being rich. Everyone has a different view on this issue. For someone, success is wealth, for others, health or family. Always hard work and positive thinking leads to happiness and to achieving your goal.
I think that sometimes simplicity is actually the way to success. The rules embedded in this film are obvious and well known to everyone, but do we use them on a daily basis? Well, not necessarily all, maybe 2 or 3. It's worth using them and working for our success.
I agree with you. These rules are simple and known to everyone. I just wonder how many people really use them. I think that we often just think this way instead of convincing ourselves, if these tips will help or not.

1. What is success and what leads to success for you?

I think a success can be both subjective and objective. It is subjective for every single person individually, and is objective on the society level. For example, one may find himself successful if he feels happy about his life in general, then it is subjective. An objective success can be seen (by society in which a person lives) as simply being rich or travelling a lot.

2. Will any of these tips help you on your path to success?

I appreciate any meaningful tips I receive, and so is this time. I think the tips should help basically anyone who tries to apply them to daily life.

3. Who is a "person of success" for you and why?

Honestly, for me it is a person who is fully happy with his achievments and activities of daily life. I would put word "success" close to the word "happiness" in my dictionary.
Grzegorz Rostek said…
1. It's hard to tell, but the first thing that comes to my mind is that you can be successful, by setting goals for yourself, and giving your best to achieve them.

2. I think they will help me. I heard some of those tips before, and they seem to be really simple, but they don't need to be complex to be good. Applying them can be hard, but i believe there's no harm in trying.

3. For me that would be someone that is happy with his life, and i believe that everyone has his own definition of happines. For some it can be having a work that you are passionate about, for others it can be having a loving familiy. It really depends on the person.
I think like you. For a person who has a definite goal and a plan for life, these tips may seem unnecessary, although I think this person uses them and does not even know about it. However, for people who have no idea or don't know where to start such motivational videos can help.
I agree with you that we come to great things in small steps. You can't set too high goals right away, because you may not be able to reach them, and that may make you unhappy. I will not agree that the video contains empty words. I think that applying them in life can help us on our path to success.
Good statement, "Good advice is not bad." I think so too. It's always worth listening to others. You don't necessarily have to put all advices into practice, but it's always a hint. Donald Trump - well, you can not refuse him success in life.
1. What is success and what leads to success for you?
Success is everything what we think it could be. Every small achievement could be considered as a success. One of them are bigger but every one is so important. It is something which is giving you a feel self-congratulation or just happiness.

2. Will any of these tips help you on your path to success?
It could help people to change their way of thinking, but it does not guarantee to be succeed. I like the tips showed in the video, but most of them are very common.

3. Who is a "person of success" for you and why?
For me a person of success is somebody who has a huge impact on our world. Some people who creates things which improves our quality of life, but also people who are just happy and know how to enjoy their lifes. It is important to be happy.
1. What is success and what leads to success for you?
For me I think success is when someone desire to achieve something and does it and the combination of luck, work and ideas leads to success.
2. Will any of these tips help you on your path to success?
I think all of these are good advise and like any other good advise might help me in the future.
1. For me, the essence of success is financial security and a sense of security both physical and financial. Our perseverance and ability to be more motivated to achieve particular goals can certainly lead us to success. Setting smaller and realistic goals can lead to something really spectacular.
2. Sure, but I knew most of the advice. Clue was also known to me - being persistent and bringing smaller tasks always at the end leads to great success
3. I don't think about it every day, but if I were to say it, I think Elon Musk has achieved a success with which everyone (including me) would be satisfied and, above all, he has achieved it to a greater extent on his own (e. g. he did not inherit the estate from his parents).

1. What is success and what leads to success for you?
In general, success is the achievement of goals in any business, a positive result. In general, the concept of success is very multifaceted. Everyone puts their own meaning into it. For some it is money, for others it is a happy family, for others it is peace of mind. In other words, success is the achievement of an optimal method of organizing one’s life, both in a personal and a business plan. I think that if you want to become successful, then taking someone else's "template for success" is not worth it. No need to go the “alien” road, find yours.

2. Will any of these tips help you on your path to success?
Unfortunately, after watching this video, I can’t single out any separate advice and admire it. All advice as a whole sounds in general terms and everyone knows that you need to be guided by this. But in general, the speaker says the right thing. I mean, I haven’t noticed anything exclusive for myself. But thanks for the video.

3. Who is a "person of success" for you and why?
I don’t know why, but Leonardo Da Vinci crossed my mind. Probably because he has great merits in many fields of science. He invented and invented a lot of things, he is also the author of many masterpieces of art that everyone can learn, which is probably why it seems to me that he has achieved success in all his fields. I do not know about other life aspects of Da Vinci, but in the one that we all know, he achieved breathtaking success.

1. What is success and what leads to success for you?
For me, success is financial independence that allows me to survive in any changing geopolitical environment. For me, the path to such success is indifferent. It is usually an achievement that others have not achieved. After all, it must be profitable and must bring profits - e.g. knowledge, skills. Unfortunately, as the latest research and simulations often say, very important is luck, independent of us and our effort. It does not mean that You shouldn’t work and fight for yourself. There are about 7 billion people on earth. It is likely that we will be the lucky ones;)

2. Will any of these tips help you on your path to success?
Who knows?

3. Who is a "person of success" for you and why?
In my opinion, a person as I described in question 1. To put it in some more specific way, let it be 1% of the richest people on earth. Like a relatively small amount of annual earnings, but if it is combined with an appropriate lifestyle (e.g. digital nomad) it is a great start into a bright future.
1. What is success and what leads to success for you?
Generally speaking success is feeling of achieving something great. But the most important thing is that you need to be succesfull for yourself. Of course it is important to be appreciated but many people wouldn't consider having nice and close family a success and for me that would be better than being very rich but lonely. Probably more people would think about me as succesfull person but my life would be a misery.

2. Will any of these tips help you on your path to success?
I think that general advices may help people that struggle to settheir priorities or goals. On the other hand each one of us needs to find what really means a lot to us on our own. Nobody can tell us how to achieve something that would be success for us.

3. Who is a "person of success" for you and why?
I think that the easiest guess would be some artists like f.e. Pablo Picasso. He influenced so many people. He developed large amount of styles and was generally speaking amazing artist not only a painter. He also crafted things, he was a sculptor. I think he touched every single branch of art (despite music) and that is why he is considered to be one of the most famoust artists and probably people in the world.

Week 11 [03-09.06.2019] The problem with ecological cars emission in UK

The problem with ecological cars emission in UK Since the adoption of the European Emission Allowance Directive in the European Parliament, all car makers have tried to submit. Since 1992, the Euro I standard has been in force, which limited the emission of carbon monoxide to the atmosphere. The Euro VI standard currently applies, which limits the series of exhaust gases. These include: hydrocarbons, nitrogen and carbon oxides, and dust.   The most significant change was brought by the Euro IV standard. For the first time it introduced the limitation of nitrogen oxides, which are responsible for the harmful compounds of smog.   What is smog?   Smog consists of sulfur oxides, nitrogen and carbon. In addition, solid substances such as suspended dust (PM). Dust suspend in atmospheric aerosols may be in liquid and solid form. These can be particles of sea salt, clouds from the Sahara and artificial compounds made by people. These compounds often come fr

Week 12 (12.01-18.01.15) Are you an early bird or a night owl ?

Owls are nocturnal creatures. They’re wide awake at night and they sleep during the day. If this sounds like bliss to you, then, like about 20 percent of the population who find themselves most active at around 9 pm, you may fall into the same category as our feathered friend. Night owls often have difficulty waking up in the morning, and like to be up late at night.  Studies of animal behaviour indicate that being a night owl may actually be built into some people’s genes. This would explain why those late-to-bed, late-to-rise people find it so difficult to change their behaviour. The trouble for night owls is that they just have to be at places such as work and school far too early. This is when the alarm clock becomes the night owl’s most important survival tool. Experts say that one way for a night owl to beat their dependence on their alarm clocks is to sleep with the curtains open. The Theory is that if they do so, the morning sunlight will awaken them gently and naturally.
