  In my commonobjective opinion, I believe that kids should be taught young about working hard to achieve their goals. But it is very important for every student to first learn, HOW TO LEARN.

If a person does not learn early HOW TO LEARN then they probably wont be very globally competitive or successful.

  Getting on TrackAlmost every child knows what they want to be when they grow up…. In our recent reading’s it is said that everyone needs to find their inner “fire truck,” which in context means finding the passion that one has to pursue a career that they would love.To be globally competitive you must have passion for what you do.

  THE POWER HOUSEThe United States has a reputation of being a very powerful and advanced country. But if we do not stay competitive with our rival nations we will not keep the distance or pressure on other countries as far as advancing. So my next major point in being Globally Competitive is to be COMPETITIVE!
