Achievement
What advice would you give to someone who is thinking of giving up on their
dream or goal?
Keep your eyes on the prize! Always think of what the end product is going to be
like. Do not compare yourself to other people. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t
find out how other people achieved success, just don’t expect your route to
be the same as theirs. Finally, there are many ways to approach something. If
you aren’t getting results one way try another way but don’t give up! Believe in
yourself even when no one else does. Alex Tomlinson – nominee, Arts Award
Firstly I would share my personal motto with anyone thinking about giving up
and remind them “success only comes before work in a dictionary”. I always try
to encourage people not to worry about the things that have already happened
or we can’t change when things break we automatically try to fix them, which is
also what we need do in life when things go wrong it’s easy to give up but then
what do you achieve other than failure. Worry does not empty tomorrow of sorrow
- it empties today of strength staying positive will lead to positive actions and a
positive reward. Davia Davis – nominee, Business & Enterprise Award
We would tell them to stop, look and think before they give up, because giving
up on their dreams is giving up on themselves. We would seriously ask them
why they want to give up? More than likely the answer is that it’s too hard, or
they’re not good enough or they don’t know how to get to their dream. These
are constant struggles people face and it is completely normal to question
yourself. However, if the dream is worth it, then so are the struggles. Every
problem has a solution, it’s just a matter of finding it. The ABC Group –

It would mean everything to me to attend at this year’s ceremony. It would
mean that people recognise I’ve made a change. It would also give me more
