  • Human Lot To Try And Fail Analysis

    618 Words  | 2 Pages

    David Mamet once stated, “..it is the human lot to try and fail..” This quotation implies that an individual will attempt to achieve success throughout their lifetime, but he/she will also have to face the failures as well. The quote relates to the philosophy that in order to achieve something, one will have to work for it. This quotation is correct and is further supported by two literary works. The two novels are Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck and The Pearl, also by John Steinbeck. In these two novels, the protagonists know that their goals are very farfetched and out of the norm, yet they both try to achieve it and ultimately fail.

    The Merriam Webster Dictionary defines perseverance as the continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition. In today’s society, there are so many walls and barriers that prevent humans from achieving their dreams and goals and people begin giving up. However, great poets such as Homer and famous music groups such as Mumford and Sons have used the strife of humanity to compose works that can be used to inspire and institute hope for humanity. With perseverance, there are three key aspects, struggle, loyalty, and strength. The struggle is what allows humans to learn, grow, and better themselves, the loyalty demonstrated provides motivation for success, and the personal strength allows the person to build

  • Perseverance and The Olympic Story Lost in Time

    775 Words  | 2 Pages

    Most people have never had to persevere-holding onto that last sliver of hope-as much as nine American boys who were thrown from their small Washington towns onto the international stage, back in 1936. Don Hume, Joe Rantz, Shorty hunt, Stub McMillin, Johnny White, Gordy Adam, Chuck Day, Roger Morris, and Bobby Moch were all part of The University of Washington's inspirational 1936 Olympic crew. Each of these rowers had their own stories of perseverance, determination, and grit bringing them together to work magic on the water. They trusted each other, relied on each other, and most importantly they had total confidence that “no man would pull the full weight of the boat”. So what you need to understand is that these boys were not born with silver spoons in their mouths and they had to work hard to succeed. This crew was composed of sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, not sons of businessmen or lawyers like the crews back east, like Harvard or Yale, were made up of. They persevered and had the drive to succeed, and it payed off after years of work with a gold medal in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin and the satisfaction of wiping the smile off Aldoph Hitler's and his German crew faces.  Perseverance is the steady persistence in a course of action, a state, etc., especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement.

The crew had the lowest class on the ship and the Captain had the highest class and she had decided to trust the captain.

    In most families, there is often an heirloom or skill that is passed down from generations. While I never received a brooch or the ability to knit, I received the value of perseverance. It was passed down through the experiences that shaped my family and later shaped me.

  • Human Extinction And The Value Of Our Efforts By Brooke Alan Trisel

    1711 Words  | 4 Pages

    If we cannot change our misguided yet ingrained desire to want our works to be appreciated forever, we should at least “refrain from turning these desires into standards for judging whether our efforts and accomplishments are significant” (Trisel 391). Trisel suggests that we should not use long-lastingness as a criterion for judging the importance of our goals. He believes that goals and achievements have intrinsic value, and that is enough to provide one with a satisfying life. Since achievements are events, which cannot be undone or reversed, the fact that these events occurred should be enough to make our lives worthwhile. Therefore, the solution for these people is to change the standards for what is important.

  • Perseverance Essay

    1565 Words  | 4 Pages

    From the very beginning of life children are taught to not give up despite their past failures. One example of this would be when they are first trying to walk or ride a bike. In this case perseverance would be deemed as a good quality to have. In another instance someone is arrested and convicted for robbery. Once released, they attempt to commit the same crime again. This example would be an individual persevering but for a malicious and self-seeking motive. Perseverance is the continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition. (Merriam Webster). While it is often seen only in a positive light, like most things, when used wrongly it has far from a positive impact. Perseverance, while socially accepted as a societal virtue, can also be a vice to those who use it to pursue malevolent or selfish causes.

  • The Theme Of Perseverance In We Bought A Zoo?

    1133 Words  | 3 Pages

    For perseverance is constantly tested in trials and tribulations in abundance of adversity, calamity and catastrophe. But it is through only a strong and adamant mentality can perseverance be of any use, as without motivation, perseverance is merely paralyzed in a unhopeful void . But much like the water that slowly chips away at the stone, or the ice that gradually shatters the solid rock, perseverance acts the same. Like the trembling waters of the Colorado River bellowing through the Grand Canyon, perseverance screams through the predicaments and headaches that life has in store and burns through the barriers of conflict and confrontation. For whether you wear perseverance over your heart or on your arm, no matter who you are, perseverance is buried deeply within our core and is a unshifted behavior that enables even the most average of humans, to perform marvelous masterstrokes revolutionized in many aspects that will move even the most sturdiest of mountains and carve through the most impenetrable of
