I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed”.

Now I believe that this is an extremely important motto due to the fact that you can use this in every aspect of your life as I stated above. If your mind and body are prepared for any obstacle that is thrown your way there is nothing that can stop you. This hits me strongly because I believe that when you set your mind to a goal in order to better yourself you need to set them out of reach so you continue to grow stronger as an individual.

The short story, The Right to Fail by William Zinsser, explains how it is acceptable to fail and learn from one's mistakes and to not go down the path society has made socially acceptable. Zinner has a positive outlook on the concept of failing, he explains, “Success can be dangerous- you feel you know it all.

Trying new things and failing or succeeding can open new doors to something better.

John Quincy Adams “Try and fail, but don't fail to try.” was said by John Quincy Adams who was the 6th president of the United States. I believe this quote means, it’s alright to fail if you tried. However, you shouldn’t not try at all. Adams had many opinions and programs that people didn’t like. For example, he believed the mexican war was a conspiracy to make slavery longer and that slavery should end in general.

I don’t know where they found the courage to be so brave, but God was on their side. I could go on about how if I was in such a situation, I would fight back and give them my all. The thing is that it would be all talk. I could never imagine the pain and horror of what it feels like to be scared to live my life. Being taught that I am inferior and could never be equal to my brothers because I am a different pigment. So again, I can’t say that would have had the audacity that heroes like Walter White and Ida B. Wells had. I know I would have been afraid knowing my life was valued at the same price as an

John D. Rockefeller once said “If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success” (Ristovski). Vanderbilt and Rockefeller, both lived through their beliefs of success by starting their own shipping and oil refining companies as young men. Vanderbilt’s first company began in the early

“It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.”

Failure is not an option. That was instilled upon me at an early. I took this mantra with me when I attended Special Forces Combat Diver School at Key West in 2010. My drowning and subsequent failure at Dive School resided in my mind for months to come. I assumed everything I hope to achieve was lost. After the summer had passed and as the semester was about to begin, I recognized that I could still achieve my goals, but it would take time, dedication, and sacrifice. I had to prove myself above my peers. I was already in my junior year of my Political Science degree with at least 4 more semester’s worth of courses to complete.

Gloria Steinem helped catapult the women’s liberation movement, and Mother Theresa who was known for her humanitarian work and advocacy, brought awareness to the plight of the poor and homeless.

In their interviews they described their experiences in the war. Many called them heroes for what they did but they didn't see themselves as that. I think these people were brave and accomplished things we never imagined. I think it also might have been hard for them to try to remember what they had done because they were in a war. I think these men were able to do the things that they did because they were trained well and they were willing to risk their lives the save everyone else's. I think the war taught them how hard you really have to fight some people in order to live and to help save others.
