Well their is this game called geometry dash, it's a pretty fun game. Anyway you have to jump over the obstacles to complete the level and it is very hard. So you have to keep trying over and over again to beat 1 level out of 18.

In order to succeed you must be ready for the failure to come. In a way failure can make the best of people. No matter what there is always going to be a rough patch in your life, but you can’t let it get in the way of getting to that success. Success isn’t handed to you, you must do your part, and during it there is most likely going to be a chance of failure.

Failure is a fact of life. There is no way to avoid it and at least one point in your life, you will fail at something that matters to you. This may be disheartening and you may feel that you should just give up and that you'll never succeed again but this is not true. There are many famous examples of people that fail again and again but were determined and eventually achieved their goals because they didn't quit after failing one time.

Everyone makes mistakes, all the time. Most of the time we learn from our mistakes, but sometimes we don't. If we try over and over again, we will succeed eventually. Many famous people have done things that didn't succeed the first time, so they tried again. I have had many times throughout my life, where I didn't succeed the first time. so I had to try again or even start over.

I once couldn't do math really well. I would always listen but I could never know what she was saying. My math teacher would try to help me but I still couldn't understand her. She tried everything from flash cards to helping videos but I couldn't do it. Even my classmates tried to help me a couple times.

Dr. Suess makes a good point. He never gave up and finally his book was published. Now he is a well known author all around the world. When I was in 6th grade my older sister tried out for volleyball. She was good, and it encouraged me to do it also. My serve was awful and I couldn't set at all.

Everyday, I come to school to find that moment to where my teacher will find te success in me in my writing. I don't copy but I use techniques that other famous novel writers use like Gary Paulsen and Dr. Suess. They describe the main characters thoughts and actions very well. They also describe the setting very well. Such as "It was dark and dusty outside in the -20 degree temperatures. I love to write book and poems and novels. The type of story writing I like to write about is action/adventure/comedy.

Dr. Suess is a very respectable person, as he should be. A shocking 26 times of failure had to build up until finally, on his 27th try his book was published. We should look at life the same way, each and every day. No matter how hard the task, to matter how many times you fail, try until you reach your goal of what you want. In my life this includes many goals I set for myself. Volleyball and FFA are my life, and I intend to do my absolute best at them.

Sometimes people do things over and over again until they are successful. Maybe it's because they are unsure of themselves, or just because no one else likes their idea. Just like Dr. Seuss. He had sent his book to 27 publishers before it was actually published. Do you think that had stopped him from giving up? Having to send his book to many publishers. No, in fact he's very popular to this day.

a time that someone i knew succeeded because they kept trying was the time my little brother wanted to play football. he wanted to play so bad that he went out and walked all through Savannah to try to raise money by cutting grass everyday until he came up with enough money to play. he told my mom one day that he would play football and my mom told him "son i just don't have the money for it right now" and he said "momma i don't want you to pay for it im gonna pay for it" and after that he left with his push lawnmower and began on his journey. he cut grass all over savannah and he walked everywhere he went. i offered to help him but he didn't want anyone to help him, he wanted to do it all by himself. one day i followed him and after he finished cutting for the day he went and watched the football team he wanted to join practice. he coach saw him and asked him what he was doing with a push lawnmower with no shoes on and no shirt. isaiah told him "sir i just wanna play football for this team and i cut grass everyday all over savannah to raise money to play. the coach asked him well where's your momma, isaiah said she's at home sir i wanted to raise the money myself. so after practice coach brought isaiah home and asked to talk to my momma. the coach asked my momma did she know what isaiah was doin and momma told him yes he's cutting grass to raise money to play football for your team i told him i didn't have the money to pay for it but he said he wanted to pay for it himself. the coach looked at isaiah then back at momma and said well if thats the case if its ok with your momma i want you on my team right now, i've got the paperwork right here in my truck so if youll just sign it and give me what money you have litle man ill cover the rest. so after that isaiah walked to practice everyday and walked back home and told momma about what he had learned and what he did that day. he played for the same team for almost four years and everybody on the team called him the head buster because he tackled them boys like they were little toys even the ones way bigger than him. when he did his warm-ups he was so small that his helmet would wiggle on his head, his mouth piece was to big and his jersey was too. now all he ever wants to do is watch his favorite football team The Pittsburgh Steelers and play football with his frends every weekend from friday to sunday night.

Have you ever done anything and failed? Did you stop trying and give up or did you actually try? That's what a lot of people do now a days. They try something and then give up because they feel like it's no use. Well there wrong. It is a very big thing to be successful. Just because you can't do something right the first time doesn't mean you can't do it the next.

This basically reminds me of the quote that we had today. Because in our quote it states that there should be no limits nothing should stop you from going higher then what you originally planned to do. A good example is Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs invented the company everyone now knows which is Apple. Apple makes computers, tablets, phones and much more. At the age of 30 Steve was fired from his job.

When i was little my dad was always the person i admired the most. He still is. When i was younger my dad was always changing jobs but he never stayed out of work for long because a lot of people wanted him to work for them. So when i was little i thought that he was famous because everyone wanted him and knew him. People would always come to our house asking for him. So my dad was my most admired person.

Sometimes you can't just try once and think you are going to succeed the first time. Most people these days just give up if they try once. You always need to keep trying and never give up because if you give up you will never get any where in life. I know a girl that is in the band and she was working on a scale. She could not get it correct and she tried and tried but she never gave up. It took her a very long time but she did it she succeed at the scale that she wanted to play. She was very proud of herself for not giving up because many times she wanted to give up. Since she didn't she did it and now she can play that scale without even looking at the paper. Also just like Dr. Suess he sent his story into 27 publishers before someone accepted it. That is a big amount but he did not give up he kept trying and he was very successful and what he did. Everyone should keep trying and never give up because if you give up and don't keep trying you will not get any where in life. So just remember to keep trying and never give up!

Well when i played for a baseball team rec team in 2008. I couldn't hit past the outfielders. So i tried and tried but i still couldn't hit it past the outfielders. So at practice i hit a bunt and i ran for the first base and i made it. And then my friend ryan thwihilio hit and he hit and it past the outfielders i was so mad that he did it and i couldn't do it. But at least i ran home and got a point for our red team. And then i was up at bat again and i still couldn't do it. But i hit past third base and i made it to first.

Have you ever had a time when you failed at something but you continued do keep trying and failed again. Until you just gave up because you thought that was your only option. Quitting at something is never an option. Its okay to fail because failure is a part of life. If you play sports and you don't start or don't get to play. you don't have to quit just because your not the best at the sport.

No one is instantly successful. You cannot just take the elevator instead of the stairs. Hard work gets you where you need to be in life. Steve Jobs didn't instantly own a successful business. It took ten years to get Apple started. Even after all of that work, Steve Jobs was fired at the age of thirty. He then worked hard and created extra businesses, and soon Apple bought that business and he was back at Apple.

Being successful is not always as easy as it may seem to many people. It requires a significant amount of dedication to be really successful in something. Some people give it their all when trying to be successful and still are not simply good enough. My friend is one of the worst soccer players when it comes to taking corner kicks. She is just awful at it and one day she wanted to change that. She started to put in a large chunk of her free time and dedicated it taking corner kicks.

But he keep trying and trying. The other day at work they had a family meeting. We all came and listened and his boss said this is the files of our workers. My dad's was at the end and the smallest we got to his and well it was of how many times someone came back to them because it was wrong my dad's file was empty. He works on it and takes his time on it. Well you see if you work and work hard and take your time on it you will most definitely succeed. At whatever your doing.

Everyone is life is prone to making mistakes. Learning how to deal with those mistakes is apart of life, but so is knowing how to correct those mistakes. Making mistakes could also mean failing at something. The only way to truly be a successful person is to get up and keep trying even after you fail a number of times. Theres many famous and successful people in life such as Abraham Lincoln, Steve Jobs, and Stephen Hawking who overcame their own mistakes and others to become the best they can possibly be.

If you are wanting success, you should also be ready for failure to come your way as well. Everyone says failure is bad and you should advoid it, that my friends, is somewhat true, but you should also see failure as a good chance of trying something new, something you never experienced before. Like for example, I was once bad at drawing until a friend of mine came around. She really influenced me to do my best at drawing.

Success: /səkˈses/ the accomplishment of an aim or purpose. Success and failure are always synonymous. Without failure, success is nothing but a bleak, meaningless shell of an accomplishment. What does failure show? Failure shows investment, trail, error, and correction. No ones going to get everything right the first time. To take the steps towards succeeding, you must realize what you step toward maybe take you farther, yet bring you closer towards success. Success takes failure.

When I was little, I was not able to kick a soccerball with my left foot. As time went on I was still having trouble. Since I love to play soccer, I kept practicing at becoming better at soccer. Since I've practiced playing soccer, I'm better know, than I was little. To t8his day, I've become succesful at kicking the soccer ball.

Not everyone can get everything on the first try. We must work harder and harder each time. I'm sure we all have a situation were we had to work over and over to get to that point. I know I do! Maybe we are trying to do something right now that requires us to do it over and over. We must earn our own success.

Failure is just something you have to except. Everyone fails at least once in their life because no one is perfect. Would you just let that stop you? Or, would you overcome your failures and try to defeat them?

Trying is essentially the way to success. Such as my father and the way he tried. He didn't have the best of childhoods. In fact, his father died when he was young, his mother was an alcoholic, and to top it all off he has two younger siblings to take care of. However, his scars make him stronger.

For example, Abraham Lincoln failed over 10 times in trying for elections, but still managed to be president of the United States at the age of 52. Abraham Lincoln was also the leader for the U.S. in the Civil War. That's an example to show you that you don't always have to get everything on your first time. You have keep going, not giving up and work to try to be sucessful. If you keep failing, that helps you to be a leader or become sucessful. Abraham was also an inspirational speaker. He motivated people to not give up, take the right path, and keep fighting until you get where you are going.

well my mom bought me a game called NBA 2K 15 and its a basketball game. So I was playing and I couldn't beat the team I was facing because it was hard. So I just kept playing and playing, Then I just got mad and I turned the game off. And then when I came back I played it again and I finally beat that team.

I have tried many times and failed ,but I had to keep trying untill I do it right. When I found out about a game that sounded really cool I wanted to try it. So when I got the game I found out that the game was really hard. I coudn't even beat the first level , but I wasn't going to quit. I kept trying and trying untill I had beat the level. I had went on the second level and then the third untill I beat the game. When I beat the game I felt so much better.

I think that us america would be a good example when we broke free from England's control we were trying to set up a new government and economy we failed many times trying to create this new government and we failed more than once and we made it better and better.Also we became one of the best countries in the world and right now we are about the richest countries in the world due to our hard work and success.

My older brother was successful. He wanted to be a cop his whole life. When he moved out he got a job at the Effingham County Sheriff's Department. Instead of being a Patrol Officer he was a Detention Officer.

In order to get where you are going or in order to succeed you must fail. I'm not saying that you have to but that's where success comes from. If you don't tty then you are not going to make it to what ever you want to do in life. Something great isn't just going to come to you and then you be done with it, but it doesn't work like that. You have to try some way in your life to get where you are going.

I have made a lot of mistakes in my 13 years. My percentage of when I do something right is about 20%. I make a lot of mistakes so when I do something once and fail; I don't do it again. Also there are so many things in the world I want to try everything.
