Speech: Failure Can Be The Mother Of Success

* Barry Fife gives the state championships an iconic, almost ‘god-like’ status using the exaggerated description of the champion as a ‘hero, a guiding light.’ Baz Luhrmann is gently mocking the self-importance of the dance federation officials which also links to our understanding of the belonging concept, conform or be excluded.

“Don't fear failure...in great attempts it is glorious even to fail.” These great inspirational words were spoken by the even greater Martial Artist Bruce Lee. This quote alone captures what I—and most people—fear: failure. However, is my favorite quote because it captures and portrays failure in this light where success is based on the greatness that we choose to do and not just the way that it turns out and that we can still be successful even when failure is present. That even after we dedicate, practice and try that failing is still something great that we achieved because we gave it our all. It helps us to believe that if we try our best than no matter what the outcome is—in some way or another—we succeeded. This type of logic helps others

The results came a week later. Although I didn’t win the piano competition, the judges, contrary to my expectations, enjoyed my playing immensely. As I reflect now on this competition, I realized that I had, without knowing it, cut the Gordian knot. Finally, instead of perfection, there was

I’ve learned that failure is a common part of life, but how you perceive failure is what matters the most. There are a lot of uncontrollable variables that can dictate a situation. However, the one aspect we are able to control is our state of mind and it is imperative to have a positive mental attitude. As described by Shawn Achor, in Before Happiness, if you allow a pessimistic mind set to control your outlook on a situation. Then, one will only focus on all the aspects of the failure instead of looking on how to improve the situation. Perfectly stated by Winston S. Churchill “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; and optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”

The edge has extremely beneficial messages in the film. These messages can help us as students throughout college. We can carry these lessons to help our relationships with others and our study habits. “Just because you’re lost doesn’t mean your compass is broken” (Evans).I interpret this quote as we may be lost while were doing our study but we need to focus on the bigger picture. A number of people focus on extra activities and work during their course of high school. They get behind on the school work, work that they are paying thousands and thousands of dollars on. I want to mainly focus on my school work, which is what I am trying to achieve during the summer. I never focused on my school work during high school. I realized that it was

The letter beckoned my family to join them in an award ceremony being hosted in the building. The ceremony was to commemorate the students who’ve achieved a major feat within their time in Smart’s Mill. Yet, there was one item the letter lacked, this crucial detail being which sibling earned such divine honor in the ceremony. At the time, I thought it was to prevent more costs from spiraling down the drain, but I still found it intriguing that the letter gave no information on the topic. Therefore, the winner of the award was shrouded in mystery, as such a letter found this detail to be redundant to list, although it is a vital detail to complete such a complex puzzle.

In the article, “Why Failure is Good for Success” by Pauline Estrem, the central idea is failure and risk taking lead to success. The article is about how being able to embrace failure is good and can lead to success. The text also talks about how risk taking can lead to success, how to maintain a positive attitude, logical risk taking, and all of the factors of success.

“When Success Leads to Failure” takes a look at the problem from the perspective of a teacher as she has a conversation with one of her student’s parents. It gives the account of her concern for this

The achievement gap is a term that has evolved over the past decades to describe

According to the Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell views success as a byproduct of history and community, of opportunity and legacy (285). Although everyone tries to become successful in their life, not all of them get their success because they all have different backgrounds, grow in different environments and different cultures. Moreover, these different situations determine a person’s success by providing different chances. So, the many opportunities the environment provide, the more successful they become. Therefore, success is derived from the environment, and people achieve it through nurture because the community and family supports give a lot of chances, benefits and encouragements that make them become

After reading an article about how failing is good for you by Jessica Press.I learned that there are many famous celebrities who failed such as Michael Jordan and J.K Rowling.For ex, when Michael Jordan was in the 10th grade he did not make the varsity team. Not everyone has to be perfect because trying so they will still end up failing. In conclusion, you do not have to be perfect to not fail in life, failure is a part of life.

A negative connotation follows failure like a shadowy figure. Failure, however, is a necessity in order to grow and obtain future success. At seventeen years old, I have had a fairly average rate of failure. I have nothing too outstanding to speak of, of course, but one experience sticks out more than the others as a moment at which my perspective was forced to change and the lessons learned have stuck with me.

Traditionally, failure is seen as a negative concept and is defined as lacking success. I, on the other hand, try to put a positive spin on everything in life. I see failure as an obstacle that is experienced by all, but it does not define an individual. Failure in essence will force an individual to be more receptive to their surroundings and actions and also will force an individual to mature. Looking back on my childhood years I can now pinpoint the areas where I failed and I can confidently say that I have grown and prospered due to those failures. The three major failures I have experienced were my attention deficit issues which affected my ability to succeed in school, my anti-social habit that I let consume my early years, and my

“The harder I work, the luckier I get.” We’ve all heard stories about people who seemed to be the recipients (deserving or not) of incredible luck. They were at a party and heard cocktail chatter about a fantastic job opportunity. They fortuitously knew a guy who knew a guy, etc.

This surprising and colorful event started at 7:00 a.m. and took place in the marathon gym. Everyone was very exited, there were beautiful dresses every were, blue, yellow, red, black, all colors you can imagine. People were amazed of such gracefully dances with the folkloric music.
