Core Argument - The formula for success is impact, which consists of utilization, decisiveness, and lingering effect [2][3][21] - Impact and success are not mutually exclusive [3] - Impact is defined as a forceful contact or a figurative feeling that changes you forever [4][5] - Impact lingers and doesn't necessarily mean there's nothing you can do; you can react and shape it [7][8] Key Components of Impact - **Utilization:** Using what you have in the capacity that you have it in, when you have it, and where you have it [21] - **Decisiveness:** Making a choice every day to take action [21][22] - **Lingering:** An extension of ourselves that goes beyond ourselves [22] Practical Application for High Schoolers - Make a decision to learn and be taught every day [23][24] - Utilize what you have and enjoy [25] - True impact must be beyond oneself and replicable to another person's narrative [26] Organizational Impact - Participation in organizations like CISV and ISEC can lead to self-actualization and personal development [9][10] - These organizations share similar visions based on the principles of impact [15][16] - CISV educates and inspires, while ISEC drives towards a vision [16] Project Example - The "Render Zen" project aimed to engage the youth in climate action through art [17][18] - The project gave contributors a space to be themselves and contribute in their own capacity [20]
