Personal Success Definition

I define success as someone who is able to reach their goal or other things that they want like achieving things.

Martin Luther King Jr. was successful because of some reason and one of those reasons is because his dream came true. One of his dreams was that white and black people would live together in peace and that did come true. It may have taken a little bit to happen, but it did happen.

Skills for Success

Martin Luther King Jr. had a 1) good vocabulary, 2) Bachelor’s in Sociology, 3) was a smart man. Ever since Martin Luther King Jr. was young, he was always trying to improve his vocabulary. He was accepted into Morehouse college at the age of 15 by passing the exam that you need to get into the college and because of that, he was a very smart man. He ended up getting a bachelor’s in Sociology when he graduated.

How They Used These Skills

He used these skills to be able to make his point better. By having a better vocabulary, I think it could have a better impact on people but, because he had a better vocabulary he could have better speeches than other things like books and or news articles. Since he had a bachelor in Sociology, I think it may have made it better when it came to his speeches because he would know how people would react. Since he was a smart man, I think he would know what not to put in a speech to make people think that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about and making the entire speech useless.

Martin Luther King Jr. had to deal with a lot of things when trying to make his dream come true. He had to deal with being thrown in jail for fighting for his rights. He ended up getting threatening phone calls but, he kept going, and eventually, his dream became true.

Significant Work

This is one of the most famous speeches that Martin Luther King Jr. has done. He had this speech on August 28, 1963.
