Evidence: Modeling excellence
Fuente: SENA
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
Aristotle.
For this evidence, go online and find information about the daily routine of at least
three people you consider role models. You should compare their routines and
find the things they have in common. Then, you should write a three- paragraph
composition about their commonalities and the way your routine resembles or will
resemble theirs. Make sure you use the conjunctions (so, either, neither, too) you
learned in this learning activity.
The structure of the composition is as follows:
Paragraph 1: A short description about why you decided to choose those

people and a short description about who they are.
Paragraph 2: The similarities you found in their routines.
Paragraph 3: The way your routine reflects or will reflect their routines.
Look at the example below:

Example:
For this composition, I decided to get information about three high-achievers that
inspire me to do my best in everything I do. They are goal-oriented people who
are always on the lookout for exciting ways to grow both professionally and
personally.
 Elon Musk is a Canadian magnate, inventor, and investor.

 Ray Kurzweil is an American computer scientist, inventor, futurist and a
director of engineering at Google.
 Jason Silva is a Venezuelan-American filmmaker and performance
philosopher.
Even though they belong to different generations, I was able to find several
commonalities in their routines:
The three of them think commitment is the most important quality you should have
if you want to achieve your goals. Jason doesn’t start his day without looking at
his to-do list first and Ray doesn’t either.
Setting goals is an essential element for success according to them. Before they
go to bed, Jason and Ray write what they plan to accomplish the next day. Elon
does too, but he prefers to write his goals in the morning. They all have a
notebook to keep track of what they do and make sure they are focused on their
priorities.
Elon doesn’t watch TV. Neither do Jason or Ray. They think it is a passive activity
that makes them waste time. They prefer to read and go online to find the most
recent articles about their interests. Jason and Elon always take notes about what
they read and so does Ray.
Additionally, they think a balanced diet is a key element in regards to high

cognitive abilities. Jason never eats processed carbs or sugar and neither does
Elon. Elon and Ray enjoy working out because it promotes the birth of new
neurons. Jason does too, but he doesn’t go to the gym. He likes rock climbing
and bodyweight training.
In regards to mortality, Ray has a very particular approach. He thinks dying should
be treated as a disease. He feels technology will make us immortal, and Jason
does too. Elon is more cautious in his optimism, but he also thinks our well-being
is being enhanced by technology.
In my case, I think I have not been as organized as I can in regards to my goals.

From now on, I will start using the day planner to check off the activities that I do
during the day. In regards to diet, I am going to start cutting down on carbs and
sugar. I know it is not going to be easy because most people don’t know anything
about their detrimental effects so they are always offering them. It was
good to find out that they also think commitment is essential if we want to get
ahead in life. That was a lesson my dad taught me when I was a child and I
couldn’t feel more grateful for that.
Evidence Solution
Paragraph 1
Select these characters because they are great innovators in technology and their
developments, they have become influential throughout the world and are very successful.
Mark Elliot Zuckerberg; Dobbs Ferry, Westchester County, 1984) American businessman
and computer programmer. Creator and president of the virtual community Facebook, in
2008, with twenty-three years of age, he became the youngest billionaire.
Steve Paul Jobs; San Francisco, 1955 - Palo Alto, California, 2011) Computer and
American businessman. Father of the first personal computer and founder of Apple
Computer, contributing decisively to the popularization of computer science. His visionary
ideas in the field of personal computers, digital music or mobile telephony revolutionized
the markets and habits of millions of people for more than three decades.
Jeff Bezos was born on January 12, 1964 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States. He
developed a brilliant career, first as a computer programmer and then as a financial analyst.
Founding an online bookstore called Cadabra.com, online since July 16, 1995, Jeff Bezos
decided to change the name of the company to Amazon, En March 2018, he became the
richest in the world, at 54, he is the e-commerce giant.
Paragraph 2
For these characters, their success routines are, always anticipate future trends, create a
more connected world, make changes, investments and strategies for the development of
their activities. For Zuckerberg and Jobs, it is important to be visionary. For Bezos it is too.
If you fail, go ahead, accept your mistakes. For Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs and Jeff
Bezos, the creator's career is full of failures, we should not fear failure, because failure is
not the end of the road.
¿So, should you take failure as the opportunity to learn and improve? Yes For them, they
believe that these pitfalls are part of life, but you have to learn from them.
For these entrepreneurs and creators, they want to go down in history not by millionaires,
but by innovators or successful entrepreneurs who helped the world. For Zuckerberg and
Jobs, it is important to develop their companies, so does Bezos. ¿So, is it important for
them to be millionaires? It is not important for them because it is better to contribute to the
world with their ideas, developing their companies.
Paragraph 3
As for me, my success routines are always to be an entrepreneur, failures are never a
cause of limitation, because they are the opportunity for work and personal growth.
In addition, I try to contribute to the world with my way of developing my company. So I
want to be remembered for contributing to society.
