these six principles to their own lives — passion, vision, preparation, courage, perseverance and integrity — to set them on to their individual paths to success. Learn how these core principles helped our extraordinary leaders shape their achievements and their lives. Discover how to apply these key elements as a roadmap to reach your own destinations.</p> <p>We strive to capture the spirit of accomplishment and an appreciation for the character of eminent achievers. Listening to their life stories, you can develop an awareness of the attributes these leaders share: The will to go forward despite doubts, setbacks and ridicule. The ability to recover from failures and keep from becoming discouraged. Courage, love and commitment to their work. The pursuit of excellence rather than a simple desire for glory. By dedicating themselves to goals that aroused their passion, they often pushed the boundaries of knowledge in their chosen endeavors. With these qualities firmly in hand, you may discover that you are already in the middle of your own personal success story.</p> <ol class="keys-to-success--list list-unstyled"> <li><a href="/web/20210905051941/https://achievement.org/keys-to-success/passion/">Passion</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20210905051941/https://achievement.org/keys-to-success/vision/">Vision</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20210905051941/https://achievement.org/keys-to-success/preparation/">Preparation</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20210905051941/https://achievement.org/keys-to-success/courage/">Courage</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20210905051941/https://achievement.org/keys-to-success/perseverance/">Perseverance</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20210905051941/https://achievement.org/keys-to-success/integrity/">Integrity</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20210905051941/https://achievement.org/keys-to-success/the-american-dream/">The American Dream</a></li> </ol> </div> </div> <footer class="row"> <div class="col-sm-6 p-a-0"> <a href="/web/20210905051941/https://achievement.org/find-my-role-model" class="keys-to-success__block dark text-white"> <figure class="ratio-container ratio-container--square"> <div class="lazyload ratio-container__image" data-bgset="/wp-content/themes/aoa/assets/images/find-my-role-model@1x.jpg"></div> <figcaption class="ratio-container__text-abs"> <div class="display--table"> <div class="display--table-cell text-xs-center"> <h4 class="serif-2 p-l-2 p-r-2">Find My Role Model</h4> </div> </div> <div class="keys-to-success__block__footer sans-4">See who you <span class="text-brand-primary">match up</span> with in the academy</div> </figcaption> </figure> </a> </div> <div class="col-sm-6 p-a-0"> <a href="/web/20210905051941/https://achievement.org/recommended-books" class="keys-to-success__block light"> <figure class="ratio-container ratio-container--square"> <div class="lazyload ratio-container__image" data-bgset="/wp-content/themes/aoa/assets/images/recommended-books@1x.jpg"></div> <figcaption class="ratio-container__text-abs text-xs-center"> <div class="display--table"> <div class="display--table-cell text-xs-center"> <h4 class="serif-2 p-l-2 p-r-2">Recommended Books</h4> </div> </div> <div class="keys-to-success__block__footer sans-4 text-black">See our selection <span class="text-brand-primary">here</span></div> </figcaption> </figure> </a> </div> </footer> </div> </main><!-- /.main --> </div><!-- /.content --> </div><!-- /.wrap --> <footer class="content-info main-footer bg-black"> <div class="container"> <div class="find-achiever" id="find-achiever-list"> <div class="form-group"> <input id="find-achiever-input" class="search js-focus" placeholder="Search for an achiever"/> <i class="icon-icon_chevron-down"></i> </div> <ul class="find-achiever-list list m-b-0 list-unstyled"> <li> <a href="/web/20210905051941/https://achievement.org/achiever/hank-aaron/"><span class="achiever-list-name">Hank Aaron</span></a> </li> <li> <a href="/web/20210905051941/https://achievement.org/achiever/kareem-abdul-jabbar/"><span class="achiever-list-name">Kareem Abdul-Jabbar</span></a> </li> <li> <a href="/web/20210905051941/https://achievement.org/achiever/lynsey-addario/"><span class="achiever-list-name">Lynsey Addario</span></a> </li> <li> <a href="/web/20210905051941/https://achievement.org/achiever/edward-albee/"><span class="achiever-list-name">Edward Albee</span></a> </li> <li> <a href="/web/20210905051941/https://achievement.org/achiever/tenley-albright-m-d/"><span class="achiever-list-name">Tenley Albright, M.D.</span></a> </li> <li> <a href="/web/20210905051941/https://achievement.org/achiever/svetlana-alexievich/"><span class="achiever-list-name">Svetlana Alexievich</span></a> </li> <li> <a href="/web/20210905051941/https://achievement.org/achiever/julie-andrews/"><span class="achiever-list-name">Dame Julie Andrews</span></a> </li> <li> <a href="/web/20210905051941/https://achievement.org/achiever/maya-angelou/"><span class="achiever-list-name">Maya Angelou</span></a> </li> <li> <a href="/web/20210905051941/https://achievement.org/achiever/frances-h-arnold-ph-d/"><span class="achiever-list-name">Frances H.
