Even When You Begin It Still May Fail Analysis

On the surface level, one could assume that when a person makes a mistake, they have failed. Most would come to the conclusion that if one does not do something correctly then they will have failed at what they were trying to do, and this shows that the first part of this quote is, essentially, accurate. However, when paired with the second part of the quote, the first part becomes clearer. A person that makes a mistake is not necessarily a failure unless they learned nothing from the mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, but that does not make everyone a failure. Being a failure constitutes so much more than making simple mistakes. Unless someone repeatedly makes the same error and does nothing to improve, they should not be considered a failure. This can be exemplified by a rather simple comparison: if one forgets to turn in one assignment for a class, they will not necessarily fail, however, if they constantly do not turn in their assignments, they will most likely end up failing the class. Repetitious errors demonstrate a lack of ability to improve one’s self which probably shows a lack of caring. This would constitute a failure because the person is doing the same thing over and over again without trying anything new that would warrant a different result. Unless a person does not attempt to correct their mistake in any manner, they should not be considered a failure, but if they have gained nothing from the experience, then they are a failure because the opportunity to learn something new was presented to them and they did nothing with it. One mistake does not define a person, but rather the ability to learn or not to learn from mistakes is what defines a

This quote comes from the famous abolitionist, writer ,and social reformer Fredrick Douglass. What Fredrick is saying is without the pursuit, perseverance and determination to accomplish something in life. A great example is the civil rights era when Martin Luther King was pushing the government to give equal rights to African Americans and through a great struggle his goal was met though it was after his death because of his perseverance African Americans have the same rights as white Americans. If he had quit on the movement African Americans would have continued to be disrespected and discriminated against. Martin Luther kings Perseverance is a testament to the Frederick Douglass quote in many aspects it really helps you to understand what

Never give up, and be confident in what you do. There may be tough times, but difficulties which you face will make you more determined to achieve your objectives and to win against all the odds. (Marta)

This quote is found in first part of the book in chapter two. I chose this quote because this relates to me, if I put effort and hard work I can do. Just like if Pi he did not any put effort he would have not become a good swimmer but he did same with me even if it is towards my academics or extracurricular, you still have put the same time and effort no matter what you are doing you can accomplish with right mindset. Also, I know that it is hard work but in the end you will be glad that you put effort and time. When I compete for anything I want to give 100% whatever I am doing.

The story this quote has with my life is inspirational and helped me though a tough time. This year for volleyball I got dropped down a level of completion from the Freshman 1 team to the Freshman 2 team. This disappointed me because I had worked so hard all summer to get on high team. I talked to my coaches and asked them what I needed to improve on and if later on in the season I could possibly move up to the higher team. They explained to me what I needed to work on and told me I could move up if I worked hard. As the season

Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance next time”. This following quote represents that failing can give you motivation for something, like how Malcolm X did in the black civil rights movement. Not only Malcolm X reflected on this, but the other civil rights activists had to go through years in prison, signs, and non-stop slavery. they stood their ground on freedom and tried even harder to earn it when failing to.

This quote has meaning to me; for example, it is written by a baseball player yet everyone can understand along with learn from it. Everyone can wander around after reading this quote and understand how it relates to life. When Babe Ruth mentions that when a person tries their hardest, it is tough to overcome that person, whether it’s an argument, athletics, or a form

“I can accept failure, everyone fails at something.But I can’t accept not trying.” We all have failed many times, but were able to get up. We learned that struggles are part of life and that struggling helps you get better on what you are trying to achieve. Conflicts will drag you down, but when you reach the top you while never give up.

First, this quote has a deep and wonderful meaning that can be interpreted in many different ways. To me, it means that if you never give up, there will be a time when something pleasant will happen. It can also be interpreted as the moment you give up, you begin to lose courage and your shots of improvement begin to fade. Either way, this is my two ways of understanding this quote.

“When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”

"All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure" (Twain). What I think this quote means is that if you do not know something, then you you are ignorant, and if you are confident, then you would not be scared to learn whatever you do not know. Once you know what you once did not know then you will be successful.

The Monk and the Riddle has several quotes and lessons the primary theme is perseverance through failure. To be successful in our endeavors , we must be able to except failure and learn from it. We must remain passionate about our goals and do all that we can to reach them, knowing that there are things in life that we cannot control no matter how hard we try. Failure is a part of life and as long as we are to pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off we have

This quote prompted me to look back on my own life to find times when I solved my problems instead of complaining, as well as when I made excuses and blamed others for my failures. An example?

By implementing determination, never allow failure to be a discouragement. For instance, a historical figure named Thomas Edison tried multiple times to invent the light bulb, but was unsuccessful. Because of his determination, he did not allow that to make him give up, yet he allowed those failed attempts to encourage him to go above and beyond, and eventually he invented the first light bulb and made history. This example was to enlighten not to allow one failed attempt to become a discouragement, but yet an encouragement to do better. Like Edison once stated, “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”

The quote symbolizes that you need to have a good attitude to have a good day. You can make even the most dreadful day into a celebration if you just have the right attitude. If you have a bad attitude about something, you will probably not be good at it. Say you are about to play a volleyball game and you think you are going to do terrible in
