Researching (steps)

I'm to write a research plan to make my future speech more convincing. Here are 5 main steps I've chosen:

1.  Study the newspapers and watch news programs daily to get useful information.

2.  Visit library in search of some articles and books of famous people who gain their popularity through hardwork. Read books about success and ways of making yourself work.

3.  Have a talk with parents and ask them whether their friends/ former fellow students succeed in life by working hard.

4.  Ask the history teacher about a famous historic person.

5.  Watch several biographical films about the life&work of famous businessmen/politicians/scientists   

I hope, all of this will be helpful resources. My favourite step is to ask parents about their friends because it's closer to life and then it proves that everyone can archive their life goals.
