I agree to a large extent with this statement. Firstly, success is something that is elusive- that is difficult to achieve or hard to find. If everyone can find success so easily, then success loses its worthiness or value. (Point) For example, many online influencers such as Jake Paul, create senseless content to catapult themselves to fame in a matter of days. (Example) Some even managed to clinch successful careers without having to work for it. (Elaborate) Success should only be granted to those who are patient, disciplined and driven to go after their goals. (Explain) It is only when their blood, sweat and tears are shed will success become meaningful and valuable in the end. (Elaborate)

One differently-abled individual who has inspired me is Nur'Aini Mohamad Yasli, a Singaporean powerlifter who made history at the recent Tokyo Paralympics. She was born with a congenital impairment in her legs, which gave her a short stature and had to undergo multiple surgeries. Despite her condition, she is very active in sports, dabbling with archery, dragonboat, swimming and eventually found her talent in powerlifting. Her motto, 'People have the mindset that impaired people have lesser abilities. But when they see that you have the strength too, they look at you in a different light.', serves as a huge inspiration for me. Whenever I feel troubled or unsure of myself, I think about Nur Aini and the strength that she possesses and look for it within myself to face life's obstacles too.

I strongly believe that I can only be truly proud of something I have done when I overcome any hardship or challenges that life throws at me. To me, that is real achievement. One thing that I am particularly proud of was conquering my fear of heights when I scaled Mount Batur in Bali. Despite the strong urge to give up, I managed to summon all my faith and pressed on to catch the sunrise at the peak. It was an indescribable feeling to be enshrouded with the cotton-like clouds and the infinite sky. The second thing that I am proud of is that I managed to stick to something despite how fickle-minded and wishy washy I can be and that is; teaching. I'm glad that I have dedicated close to a decade's worth of my service to something that is both challenging and rewarding at the same time.

Nick vujicic inspires me . He was born with congenital disorder known as phocomelia. Thus he does not have arms nor legs. Growing up he struggled mentally and emotionally. Many people bullied him because of his appearance. He then started to turn his life around and not let peoples’ opinion affect him . He then started to live life and started being a motivational speaker. He inspires me to never give up and always find your way around things.

i am proud that i am always open to try new things. Whenever there is an opportunity for me to try new things i never experience before i will always tell myself to try . I would always like to seek discomfort and step out of my comfort zone. After stepping out of my comfort zone i managed to find new hobbies and experience things i never thought that i would experience. Hence , i am proud that i am always open to try new things.

i do agree that success is more meaningful when it is hard earned .
The feeling right after succeeding after a long time is indeed very satisfactory.Without hard work it’s hard to succeed.We all need to try our very best and never give up to achieve what we want.Then with all our hard work put in it will all be worth it at the end when we look back and realize that hard work is important to succeed. As the saying goes “hard work beats talent”. This quote is true as talent can only get us so far, but with hard work and determination we can easily achieve what we want.

One person that inspired me is Nick Vujicic.Nick was born with an extremely rare congenital disorder known as Phocomelia, which is characterised by the absence of legs and arms. Growing up in Melbourne, Australia, Nick struggled mentally, emotionally, and physically. Bullied at school, he attempted suicide when he was just 10 years old.During secondary school, he was elected captain of MacGregor State in Queensland and worked with the student council on fundraising events for local charities and disability campaigns. When he was seventeen, he started to give talks at his prayer group, and later founded his non-profit organization, Life Without Limbs that inspired people all over the world giving a message that being disabled doesnt stop you from having a happy and successful life

Something about myself that im proud of is my resilience. In secondary 2 my results came back and it was really horrible and barely passed.I felt devastated and felt like all my efforts went down the drain.However my parents were supportive and kept on encouraging me to not give up instead i should continue persevering and sooner or later i’ll definitely get the results i desire.This incident had taught me that giving up instead of trying is pointless and would never get what i longed for

A thing that i am proud of is that i am able to look things from other people's point of view other than mine. This dispels any misunderstanding from occuring and I get a brief understanding of why the other party feels or thinks that way which gets me to reflect on my own actions for wrong-doing.It also benefits me in group projects which i can ensure that everyone ideas are being used and we learn more about the project from different angles, discovering unique and appealing result

I agree that success is more meaningful when effort and hard work is involved as it teaches a valuable lesson that money or talent cannot give. For example, a determined mindset can't be bought or felt when you dont overcome a challenge which is an important thing to have as it is useful to achieve greater success even if you have the talent but no determination, all that talent will go to waste once you reach an dead end. At the end of the day, after pouring all your blood, sweat and tears on trying to reach greater heights and pushing yourself to the limit , the feeling of achievement is greater than getting a achievement easily.

One differently-abled person who inspires me is Steven hawking, he grew up with a disease that caused him to slowly become paralyse. So he have a normal childhood but when he grew older and entered university the disease took its toll on it can started to affect his studies as he was constantly in the hospital despite that he graduated top of his class. This is one reason i admire him, slowly he was bound to a chair but his passion for His work on the black hole theory only grew stronger, and eventually he completed the theory. This determination for his work and his passion is why he inspires me he never let his disease get the better of him and by working as hard as he could he prevailed.

Over my time i have achieved many things but some i am particularly proud of my journey to becoming vice-head.
Not many know but i was never chosen to be a prefect in secondary 1, but i when for the interview despite. I volunteered myself and i was fortunate enough to be selected. The two years following as a prefect i developed myself as a leader and i also grew a great sense of responsibility towards helping to improve the school for my juniors and my peers. This was noticed by myself and i decided that i could be destined for a greater role that i could not only contribute more to the school, but also develop myself as a leader so i made it notice to my Teachers that i really wanted the position and when i was given the opportunity i took it. But as fate would have it i did not win but in my position. But i still achieved everything I wish that i could do for the school and develop myself. I feel that it is one of the achievements I’m most proud of because every step of the way there was a challenge and now looking back i can see how every time i overcame a challenge it changed me and moulded me into the person i am today which make me feel proud.

I agree with this statement. Not saying that success is less meaningful when not hard-earned, but then you work so hard, you put in your one hundred percent effort to see the result you expected then it feels even more meaningful. To be able to know that you’ve made it where you are due to your diligence and perseverance. If its easy then what’s the point, i feel that its the journey one travels that is more significant than the destination. What’s the point in being successful if you didn’t earn it. For example the leaps points we get 2 point minus off our o levels, this leaps systems shows the hard working put in it requires students to go CCA regularly and contribute during their time in school. If everyone was able to received the 2 points there’s no point towards it. Then school schools should just reduce their entry grade by 2.

one differently-abled individual who inspire me is nick vujicic, he is a Nick Vujicic is an Australian-American born without arms or legs who has become a world-renowned speaker, New York Times best-selling author, coach and entrepreneur.Nick faced tremendous obstacles in life from, living life without limbs, to being bullied at school and fearful for his future with no purpose in sight.  Without hope, his feelings of helplessness and isolation led him to attempt suicide. Nick persevered through life’s challenges and discovered key principles which enabled him to find his purpose and turn obstacles into opportunities; making him one of the most sought-after keynote speakers in the world!  Millions of people have found hope, purpose and the strength to overcome their challenges through Nick’s inspirational speeches and powerful coaching. This is why i am very inspired with nick as he teaches me valuable lessons such as never to give up when life gets difficult, i am more abled than nick, so it also means there are much more things i could do with my life than just give up when i face challenges

One disabled person that inspires me is steven hawking . A theoretical physicist, astrophysicist, cosmologist, and eminent scientist, Stephen Hawking was diagnosed with ASL at the age of 21 : he was given 2 more years to live but He lived until he was 76-years-old.

He had been paralysed from head to toeand used a voice synthesiser to be able to communicate, and a wheelchair that he operated through slight movements of the head and eyes.

None of this prevented him from developing his activity becoming an exemplary researcher, and intense personal life that allowed him to make his illness known to the world.

One differently abled individual who inspires me is Yip Pin Xiu. She is a backstroke specialist for the national team. She has Charcot-Marie Tooth disease, a progressive nerve condition that makes it hard for her to move. She had won two gold medals at the Tokyo paralympic games in 2021 and to add to her haul, she has two medals each at Beijing 2008 and Rio 2016. She also holds the world records for the S2 50m backstroke and S2 100m backstroke, both of which she achieved at the 2016 Games. It is a record that would make any athlete green with envy.

With countless hours of hard work, tenacity and personal sacrifice she has really shown me that hard work can lead to success and whenever I feel defeated, I look back at stories of her and feel motivated to work harder.

If I had to choose a single person out of all of the differently-abled individuals who have inspired me in one way or another, it would have to be Stephen Hawking. Stephen Hawking was one of the greatest physicists to ever exist. Hawking had a form of motor neurone disease, known as Lou Gehrig's disease, a fatal neurodegenerative disease that affects the motor neurones in the brain and spinal cord, which slowly paralysed him as his life progressed.

Even with such a condition which basically ruined his life, he achieved many notable things in life. He has greatly contributed to the understanding of gravity, black holes and cosmology. Many people may have underestimated his abilities as he was not able to communicate at all. However, he used assistive technology to compensate for mobility and speech difficulties. He used a thumb switch and a blink-switch attached to his glasses to control his computer.

This shows that even with a disease that deprived of the most basic things a human can do, he never gave up and continued to persevere and contribute to society till he passed away. One thing i have learnt from him would be to never give up no matter how hard things get.

A differently-abled individuals who inspire me is Steven Hawking. Stephen Hawking was regarded as one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists in history. His work on the origins and structure of the universe, from the Big Bang to black holes, revolutionised the field.
He inspired me as he actually lived a normal life till was diagnosed with an early-onset slow-progressing form of motor neurone disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis– ALS, for short). That cause him to be paralysed and is unable to talk. He is only able to communicate  through a speech-generating device initially through use of a handheld switch.
Diagnosing ALS did not knockout but he actually treat it as a stepping stone. He collaborated with other mathematician to come with Hawking Radiation. Following the publication of further research, the discovery was widely accepted as a major breakthrough in theoretical physics. He achieved commercial success with several works of popular science.
I can learn from Hawking is that don't give up when we meet setbacks or obstacles. But to strive back, learn from it and become a better person.

A differently abled individual who inspired me is Nick Vujicic, an Australian evangelist that was born without fully formed limbs. Originally, the toes of one of his feet were fused. An operation was performed to separate the toes so that he could use them as fingers to grab. He refers to it as his chicken drumstick. Despite his disability, he often uses humour and positivity to give motivational speeches to people. By profession, he is the most popular Motivational Speaker & a YouTuber in Australia. He has a Bachelor's degree in Commerce, specialising in financial planning and accountancy, from the 'Griffith University' in Queensland. In March 2008, Nick appeared in the '20/20′ television series aired in the United States.

One differently-abled individual who inspired me is Aaron Fotheringham, an extreme wheelchair athlete who was known for his outstanding performance in doing backflip, double backflip & frontflip in his wheelchair. He was born with spina bifida, a spinal cord condition which causes paralysis in his legs. Despite his differences with other skaters. His determination to try out a skate board brought him into another approach of using his wheelchair for stunts rather than your average skate board or motocross bicycle(BMX). After further reading of his background, Aaron participated in the Guinness World Record which ended with him earning his certificate in 2008 for landing the first wheelchair backflip. His actions of achieving a goal with his hobby inspired me to do greater things and explore more. He showed me that just because you were born different does not mean that it will stop you from doing normal tasks, it all depends whether you are willing to change your fate.

Joan Hung said that her disability didn't allow her to learn how to ride a bike properly, however she used this opportunity to make use of her disability to help her learn, she said in a sport conference with her coach Hansen Bay" Some skills, like maybe learning how to ride a bike was also a bit difficult for them to teach me. So, I had to learn it on my own, but they gave me the space to kind of learn and make my own mistakes, to figure things out. This kind of helped me to focus on what I couldn't make use of it." Her statement showed me that she preserved and strive to do her best in a sport or activity and never gave up, these are some things we, cant even do.

She became a Singaporean backstroke swimmer, a five-time paralympic gold medallist and a one time IPC gold medallist, with two world records in the fifty meter backstroke and hundred meter backstroke. Despite the drawback of her dystrophy, she managed to obtain all these awards which encourages me to do the same for my studies, and persevere on through this hectic year due to my upcoming national examination.

To me, something i am proud of myself is that i am a very strong and independent person, yes there are many times when words has put me down due to many circumstances in my life, but instead of dwelling on these harsh words, i embrace them and use them as an example to work on myself to better improve what was wrong in the first place. I would say im a strong person because i dont cry easily when i am being bullied, instead i would stand up for myself and prove to them that i am so much more than what they are describing me as a person, i would say im independent because i do not rely on people to help me, i live by the motto "you came to earth alone, you survive on your own" i would rather get things done my way and own up to the prices and consequences i have to face or pay, but i could always say that it was my doing and i take full responsibility for the outcome

Even when something bad happened that day, I still try to find something positive. This comes in hand when my friends have had a bad day and need something to cheer them up.

I am proud of myself for finally being able to stand up for myself. For the past few years, I have been very harsh on myself. I used to blame myself for everything. I found myself apologising for things I did not even do. Soon, I found that very tiring. I took some time for myself and reflected about it during the holidays. I must say that apologising can be a good thing but it can start having a negative impact on your life. Once you start apologising for everything, your sub-conscious starts to accept the fact that you always do things wrongly and that you are bad at everything when in fact, you might have not committed the so called mistake. I am proud that I "saved" myself before i fell into that continuous cycle of negativity.

There is one time when i was doing my D&T project i meet many parts that is difficult to do.I did not know how to finish the project although maybe my project is not the very best but i have already put in my very best to finish the project.After doing the project i learn many new things that previously i may not know.

I am proud of myself for trying to learn self love and being accepting of myself, and also advocating for it because I truly believe it is a form of respect towards myself and others. For example, recently there has been people who would pick on certain people just because they are alone ad implying they have no friends etc, when they are really just introverted and prefer to be alone, I genuinely felt a sense of pity towards these people as I wonder how insecure they feel about themselves that they have to make another person feel bad, i believe the word for it is Projecting. To me, Loving one self is of utmost importance as it displays how much you value and respect yourself, which will then allow others to see your worth and respect you as well. On the other hand, if one does not have self love, they would not value their own worth and yet they seek worthiness from external factors. These factors may be belittling someone to make the other person feel bad so they can feel better about themselves, or even possess a constant need to seek attention from others. Therefore i am proud of learning to love myself and advocating for it.

One example is that I am thankful that I was born healthy and that I could live normally without physical difficulty. There are ample things that I am proud of myself though being thankful with what I am given is one of my favourite things to reflect on myself. Oftentimes, I hear articles about people wanting to have more of what they have already which sometimes struck me as there would be times that I felt that way. However, I would spend some time reflecting on myself every week by writing down my day. By doing this, it helps me by giving me a bigger picture of myself as a person.

I have nothing much to be proud of. But there was something that made me proud that happened a few years ago. In Secondary 2, I thought I lost everything, my friends, my future, my prefect title, my hopes and my dreams. I even got into an incident that left me severely injured, and is the reason why I have small aluminium parts in my head. I felt like I was never given any second chance. But despite all these hardships, I never really gave up, I made my own second chance by working with what I am left with, and here I am standing on my own two feet just like everyone else, and this is why this is something I'm proud of.

i agree with this statement to a certain extent as i do believe that hard work is the key to success, we can’t feel the sense of relief we want to feel if all we do is laze around, but if we put effort in the things we do, not only do feel great about ourself but we would also feel accoplished

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the statement. Being successful is hard to get as it needs time and hard work to get there. If being successful is easy, the whole world would be rich. For example, formula one drivers wouldn't be in the race car if they had not raced hard since young. Only the best drivers would be in formula 1. Some drivers that are also good drivers however have reserved a seat in a team as their parents are owners of a company that sponsor the team or are very rich. People that work hard towards their passion would one day be successful

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that success is more meaningful when it is hard earned as it teaches valuable lessons during the hardships while trying to become successful which cannot be taught unless it is experienced first hand. sometimes having everything given to you isn’t good for example most people who inherit large sums of money usually squander in by having a very excessive lifestyle which will result in them going into debt but if the money is hard earned the person would know the importance of spending wisely and thus not go into debt

# data[].attributes.body
I certainly agree. I feel that success can be found in many things. For example, reaching my goal of getting a certain grade or finally getting a role that I have wanted for a while. Small successes like these might sometimes be the biggest. The hard work that we put into these small successes might sometimes make us think, 'i did it'. Without hard work, we would have probably not have the chance to achieve these small successes, let alone the big successes. Only with hard work will we be able to conquer these small challenges and achieve what we hope for.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that success is more meaningful when it is hard earned. When I work hard for something and the results are satisfactory, there is this particular feeling that I enjoy a lot. I know working hard can be tiring and troublesome for many but hard work is important for success. When you achieve that feeling of self-satisfaction once, you tend to want to feel it again and that feeling will drive you to want to do well. Therefore, I agree that success is more meaningful when it is hard earned.

Yes, i agree that success is more meaningful when it is hard earned. Because I strongly believe that success is no accident, for success to happen there must be effort that is put in and to do best of the abilities and strive to work hard from there, this will make me more motivated and eventually want to do even better than before.

I agree that success is more meaningful when hard earned. Able to success is definitely not easy. There is no easy way out to be successful. Efforts and hard work must be put in to achieve success. I think that success must go through various obstacles before reaching the finish line. overcoming obstacles makes me feel a sense of accomplishment if i already given my 120 percent. For example some people choose to go the easy way out that will not reach anywhere far. Like copying or stealing other people work, taking credit that they should not deserve.
In conclusion i think that success should be achieve by oneself when they put in a lot of blood and sweat into the work.

I strongly believe the statement as if success is just given to you without any hardwork or putting in any effort, it isnt considered success. It will just be a stepping stone before you actually achieve it. Success isnt something you can get with money or from a higher power with connections, or it will feel worthless. One must start from the very bottom and slowly build their way up. The journey may not be easy, but the experiences and the things one learns through the journey is what makes success at the end of the day feel so valuable and worthwhile. That sense of fulfilment once you reach the top knowing how much was sacrificed and the effort put in, is what makes the term "success", success.

I believe that success is more meaningful when hard work is put into it as there is this satisfying feeling after suffering for something that you want to achieve and after achieving, you look back at all the challenges and go like "meh those obstacles are noooooooooob"

i do not believe success is more meaningful when it is hard earned as there could be someone getting the same success as you without putting in the same amount of work which is unfair as you have spent more time and effort on something to achieve success but they did less and still have the same success as you

i agree that success is more meaningful when it is hard-earned. Success has to be earned by the hardship a person has gone through.Success has to be builded up step by step through difficult obstacles that could be faced.A person has to put in their dedication and determination and be hardworking in order to feel the presence of success forming around them.If success was just given to a person,it would not feel as it is as there was no effort in earning it.Even if a person fails, as long if they keep trying and not give up easily, success will soon reach into their grasps sooner or later after all their attempts.

I agree with the statement that putting your blood, sweat and tears into the task that you are achieving is the most satisfying moment. Even more the fact that there would be success after knowing that you have put in your all for your goal. I feel that success will not come freely to anyone if there was no effort or thought into the goal you are aiming for. A quote that I heard from somewhere, 'If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail' which taught me a valuable lesson that I have to put my earnest effort in order to grasp any success that I was aiming for at the end of the day. An example would be taking my time at home to do at least a few math questions so that I would be able to be better at it.

i agree that success is more meaningful when its hard-earned, i feel that its the feeling u feel when you know you've done your best, put in your heart and soul in doing a certain activity. For example, when katy perry accepted the offer of being the cover of forbes, she posted on her instagram saying "There is a difference between being humble and working hard to see the fruits of your labor blossom, and your dreams realized," this elaborated on how katy felt when she know that she has put in the hard work for her fans and in he music career. Personally i grow up with the motto that if i work hard i will get mu success im looking for, and that simply not the case. There will be times where we realise that even hard work and all the effort put in may not give us the result we are looking for. But its when u know u did u best and put in hard work , work with blood sweat and tears ,preserved through ups and down and finally got the success you are looking for.. That feeling is so addictive

i agree with the statement as if it is more meaningful when we put our heart and soul into the things we do and that when we succeed we will have a sense of satisfaction and it just shows that you have overcome many difficulties to get to who you are today

i agree that success is more meaningful when it is hard-earned as it gives us a sense of achievement. The feeling of achieving something that you have worked hard for gives us satisfaction. With this, it would only motivate us to do better and work harder in our next task in order to feel the sense of achievement. For example, when we have revised all day for a math exam and managed to score extremely well on it, it would urge us to work hard for the next exam in order to score well again. Thus, working hard would gives us a sense of achievement and would ultimately result in long term success.

I agree with this statement. In order to have the feeling of success, we must put in the effort to do the task. If you keep on asking other people to do it for you and you just use their idea. If you manage to get it correct, you won't be able to have the feeling of success but you will have the feeling of guilt. As for me, i will try my best to do the thing which is tough in my opinion. If i get it wrong that's where i learn from my mistakes and correct them. If i get the question correct, i will feel a sense of accomplishment and success. However i will remain humble and continue to be open-minded to more things. Through this example i gave, i believe that being successful will be more meaningful if we do things ourselves.

i agree that success is more meaningful if it is hard earned.if success is achieved by cheating we do not get the satisfaction when we complete the task. Example if we copy homework we do not learn anything and get the marks but if we try our best and succeed we would have learnt something and get the satisfaction of finishing the task

I agree that success is more meaningful when it is hard earned. I feel that its not about the end but the process of how you get there. What have you done to be able to achieve success is the more important part. Success that comes with hard work would give us a greater sense of achievement.

I agree that success is more meaningful when it is hard earned. I would prefer putting in my all into something and seeing good results. It is more satisfying than perhaps copying off something and still succeeding, as the results i get from copying is not true. Basically not from my own hard work

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with this statement. After all is success really considered success if it's handed to you? Through hard work we can get the long sense of accomplishment that we longed for and desire. If success is earned without any hard work we would feel empty and as though that 'success' is meaningless.

A thing that I am proud of is being able to be more confident and speak up. Being a introvert and shy person, speaking up has always been a big challenge and obstacle for me. When I first came to this school, the first struggle I had was making friends as I am not a sociable person. What helped me to gain more self confidence and be able to speak up would be my CCA. Being in a uniform group, it requires me to teach my juniors drills and other stuff. So being able to speak up and lead was a big part. Slowly over time I was able to get better and better.

I am proud of myself for being able to persevere and never give up. Although there were some difficult times where I felt exhausted and wanted to give up, I still managed to achieve what I wanted to achieve. For example, when last year started my grades weren't looking good and I felt a bit disappointed. But instead of wallowing in self-pity, I told myself I will do better and changed my studying methods. In the end, I managed to improve on almost all my subjects and I felt ecstatic as I had put in a lot of effort into studying and it had actually paid off. Therefore, I am grateful to myself that I didn't give up easily and I persevered.

I agree with this statement. Firstly, success is not something that comes by easily, you have to put in effort to achieve it. For example, Walt Disney. Before he designed the world famous character Mickey Mouse that eventually created history, he went through a rough patch. At the age of 22, he went bankrupt after the brutal failure of a cartoon series in Kansas City. He was also once fired by a newspaper editor who accused him of lack of imagination and creativity. " All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them" - Walt Disney. This supports the fact that success can only be truly achieved by those who are willing to work their hardest even through the toughest of times.

A differently-abled individual who inspires me is Franklin D. Roosevelt. At the age of 39, he suffered a paralytic illness. Because of this disease he was unable to walk again and had to use a wheelchair. Despite his illness, he supervised  the mobilisation of the U.S. economy to support the war effort and implemented an Europe First strategy, initiating the Lend Lease program and defeating Germany. He worked with other Allied leaders to lay the groundwork for the United Nations and other post-war institutions. His wartime leadership was applauded worldwide. Roosevelt inspires me because he was someone who could have chosen to use his illness as an excuse but instead chose to lead America through its war.
