The truth about success is that it is not handed to you but instead you need to fight for it. History has been defined over countless changes they have all been achieved throughout hard work and dedication. Success has been shown through the stories of J.K. Rowling, Michael Jordan, Barak Obama, Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs, and now Tom Brady. Yes, the 5-time Super Bowl champion has done it again proving himself to be the best to ever play the game of football; however, he became the best only after countless failures.

Tom Brady was a backup quarterback for the Michigan Wolverines in his first two years, and worked his way up to earn his starting role as QB during his Junior year at the university. His senior year he led the team to win the Orange Bowl, and although he had dedication that was not enough. Brady was quite unlucky having been drafted in sixth round of the 2000 NFL draft. Working his way up to be an outstanding quarterback for the New England Patriots and winning the Super Bowl as a rookie in the league. With the hard work and dedication Brady proved himself to be the best to ever play the game. After countless failures and setbacks Brady picked himself back up and never gave up. The practice paid off and it showed throughout the third and fourth quarter of this Super Bowl game. The comeback was possible because of the hope and trust in his ability, because of the time and effort he placed into perfecting his throw, because of the determination he had to win. Brady is just another example of success by practice.

Brady and his success from his practice relates to the same practice a person needs to include in his or her life to strive. As the entire class read an excerpt dealing with different ways to perfect a score for testing, the most important focus was to practice. It was the closing argument and considered the most effective way to succeed. This goes to show that success is something one must work for. It will never be granted in life. It will forever be up to you to succeed.
