While I’ve been fortunate enough to experience various successes in life, none of them have come without a fair share of failure. I’ve been able to cultivate a perspective of failure that keeps me persistent. Nevertheless, as a human, I’m not impervious to periods of feeling downtrodden and despaired.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve become more intentional about surrounding myself with peers who are indicative of the success I want to achieve. I’ve joined a mastermind group (see this article for what a mastermind group is, the value of it, and how to start one).

Mentors are a necessity not just personally, but professionally as well. Most successful people will speak about the importance of networking and relationship building. This invaluable lesson became cemented into my psyche through words from Everett L Glenn. Through him, I came to understand one of the most beneficial aspects of networking and relationship building is finding a mentor (see this article for tips on how to do so).

This aggregated output, can be the mean value for what you’ve modeled, like when you’re modeling temperatures, or the probability of a success/failure scenario, such as the likelihood of a team winning the Super Bowl.

Running these simulations is a way to get all the pieces in place to use inferential statistics. The idea is to get lots outputs from the simulations, very much like you take random samples to study a population, and then use inferential statistics to draw conclusions about the actual phenomenon.

One could argue his path is indicative of self-made individualism, yet his decision to empower himself had to be informed through a lesson he could not have learned without experiences and knowledge gleaned through others around him.

While at CSULB, I joined Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE)and met leaders like Gabriel Cataldi and Kyle Foster. Their leadership inspired my growth from an underperforming pledge, to eventually becoming president of the fraternity. All the while on this journey of growth, I had my best friend, Francisco Orozco. He served as an example of what a good guy looks like: a reminder that self-development can’t be maximized if we allow ourselves to be a shitty person.

To be brief, I’ll just mention how so much of the despair my dad suffered through was a direct or indirect result of his subpar father. What’s amazing though is he found a way to glean lessons from his father (in terms of what not to be like) and it helped him become the inspirational man he is today; thereby, demonstrably affecting my life’s journey.

Most of the people I mentioned in this article couldn’t identify the words they’ve said that have helped me so much. Doesn’t matter. They’ve given me the energy to keep going when I feel like giving up. When I do eventually reach the level of success I aspire to, everyone that I’ve mentioned cannot and will not be forgotten for the role they played.

I’ll never stop appreciating the individualistic nature that makes me who I am. I’ll never lie and say that talent and individual willpower are not requisites of success. We cannot achieve success without at least one or the other. But no one should fix their lips to say they are a self-made person. That betrays the true nature that interdependence plays in life. More importantly, it’s a slap in the face to each individual who offers lessons, inspiration, and assistance on our life’s journey.

The earliest example of this came from a former girlfriend of mine, Tessa Georges. Throughout high school and shortly thereafter, I primarily surrounded myself with peers who were not good influences. When I met Tessa, she was a student at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), a school I was intent on attending. However, I wasn’t taking the proper steps to make this happen. Through her influence, I was able to gain focus and take the steps that allowed me to eventually attend that institution.

When I lose faith in my writing ability it’s words my college professor Barbara Kingsley-Wilson spoke to me years ago that invigorate me with the confidence to keep going. Comments from people like Alina Alvarez, Jenna Nicole Glick, and Melina Martinez who remind me of the growth and progress that I’ve incurred, help me when I become my biggest critic and doubter.

ly, and what feels most aligned with the Medium of the future, is a sense of movement and interaction. These are not static words on a page, these are ideas that are works in progress and get set in motion on Medium. These are not mindless feeds you scroll past, but rather perspectives that stay with us, holding the potential to change the way we see the world. And when you publish on Medium you’re not publishing onto an isolated island but into active, vibrant interconnected communities and networks. They are ever-growing, too, as we continue to build more tools for people to connect with and expand their audiences.

The group members like Chris Catizone, Jason Lam, Zach Bucheit, and Cody McLean, who I admire and look up, help keep me inspired and motivated. Plus, they often remind me of the value that I often forget I have. Only because of them do I have an opportunity to create content on a platform that has been offered to us through the national TKE office. This opportunity to create meaningful content for college students is not only exciting but perfectly aligned with my goals.

One of my first mentors, Raeffale Galante taught me the foundational aspects of forming, maintaining, and properly respecting a mentor-mentee relationship. These lessons allowed me to connect with mentors like Dan Watanabe, Sandra Leviton, and Tim Hogan: all of which have offered invaluable insights, connected me to invaluable jobs, and/or inspired action that has furthered my professional pursuits.
