You are missing 2 examples from the 3rd lesson of success demonstrated in the video.
Delete2. Some Beyonce’s benchmarks of success are:
ReplyDeleteFirstly, Beyonce was born in Texas, her parents weren’t not famous. She began with “nothing”, she began famous because she fought for it, because she is talented, not because she is the “daughter of”.
Secondly, she didn’t want to become a singer to be rich, for the money. She wanted it because it was her passion, she loved singing and only because of this, she became rich. The money wasn’t her first goal, her first intention.
3. The three lessons of success demonstrated in this video, are:
• Follow your passion
• Model success
• Partner up
4. • The first lesson is about follow your passion. Two examples can be to never give up, even though follow your passion it’s not the easy way or follow your passion even though people do not agree with you.
• The second lesson is about model success. Two examples can be to be inspired by your favorite artists to become better and better and find your own style of music, or, to also try to listen to different type of music to open yourself to other style and then become better.
• The third lesson is about partnering-up. Two examples can be that you can partner-up with other peoples that have the same passion with you so you can mutually share your ideas, or, you can partner-up with company or other people to try to show your performance to other people so they can know you and you can become a little bit more known.
