Noble Prize by Daniel - December 2018 Scholarship Essay
Noble Prizes is an annual award given due to excellent work in physics, chemistry, physiology, medicine, literature, or economics and the promotion of peace. What really matters is who the person is behind closed doors. The performance of which these people study is important less not we forget, but it is a person’s character and attitude is what stands out the most in the time of testing.
There was a man who failed many times, whether he was running for congress or senate this man seemed to just fail. But when he ran for president he was the man that turned our whole country around. Ladies and gentlemen that man’s name is Abraham Lincoln. What was so great about Abraham Lincoln was his attitude and character and it showed throughout the years of him failing. He even had a mental breakdown but he never gave up.
Having a great attitude is 90% of your whole life. Attitude is the way you react to things, basically your response to any situation. The other 10% is the decisions you make. Attitude will either propel you forward or pull you back but the good thing is that you are in control of your own attitude. Some people break or crumble under pressure or stress. Even one of our greatest president had a breaking point, but the key is to never give up. With a great attitude you can accomplish much. In the right way attitude can be considered having backbone. To stand your ground and take adversity by the horns.
Character is simply who you are behind closed doors; when nobody is watching you. What I consider good character is when somebody knows humbleness and servanthood. More traits of good character is integrity, to be honest and true.
And sacrifice to put one’s selfishness desires to better a whole. Humbleness, servanthood, integrity, and sacrifice makes a person attractive. When a man puts his friends and enemy’s before himself it shows selflessness. What we need is people to be selfless and that comes through great attitude and character.
