Hey, summer is back here!
College Football starts tonight!!

First lets look at
some basic grammar.
Success, Failure, Brain Power &  サヴァン症候群_f0212156_3205274.jpg
Success - Noun
Succeed - Verb
Successful - Adjective

Failure - Noun
Fail - Verb



*verb: 動詞

Is success countable??

Yes

"I had two successes
when I was a painter!"

"She is a success."

remember because often
students will forget the "a."

I also hear very few
students using the verb: succeed!!!

It's very useful, so please
use it!!



AT

This preposition goes
with both success and failure!

"He was a success at
selling homes."

"He was a failure
at being a good husband."

"You can succeed at anything
that you put your mind to."

To put your mind to something
means to focus on something!!!

027.gifRemember that there can't
be an object after this phrase!



"I put my mind to math."050.gif
"I put my mind to painting."050.gif


*put one's mind to: ~に全力を傾ける



Quotes on success


"Don't confuse fame with success.
Madonna is one;
Helen Keller is the other
."
Erma Bombeck


*confuse ~ with...: ~を...と混同する
 fame(名): 有名なこと; famous(形): 有名な

"It's not the size of
the dog in the fight,
but the size of the fight
in the dog
."
Paul "Bear" Bryant


This means that
size doesn't mean
anything, but the
will to succeed means
everything!!!



*will: 意志(力)、願望

What does this mean???

physical in the universe!!

means that our brains are
more powerful than

Freak out is a phrasal verb
