"True success is overcoming the fear of being unsuccessful." The truth is nobody really wants to fail, especially me. I've had the passion for gymnastics since I was six years old. When I was 10 it was finally time to compete. Practice dance routines, get your competition leotards and start performing. I was so exhilarated for experience. I've seen Olympians fall off beam, or get a terrible score at a meet, but they get up back up and try again. They might be disappointed, but they still try. Although, I thought that I would never mess up, that I wouldn't have to get back on the beam and try again, or stumble on tumbling. I was THAT confident. I should have thought again. If you don't fail, you will never learn. Never strive to be perfect, but you can reach to improve. It's okay to fail, but you have to persevere. …show more content…
The kind of morning that you just want to sit in bed and watch Netflix, that kind of morning. Not only I couldn't sleep in, but I also had to get to a gymnastics competition. As I was waiting for my routine my coach pulled me aside and said, "It's okay. Take a deep breath." Before I took a breath, she said, "You'll do great, you got this." My stomach was churning with distress when I was standing by the side of the floor pressing my arms back as hard as I could. My arms were in excruciating pain. I kept waiting and waiting, with the aching getting worse. I was trying to stand up tall, but my body wouldn't let me. I was trying to stand up tall, but my body wouldn't let me. I just slouched. It felt like I was standing up for centuries, but then finally the judges waved me to the floor. I tried to take a long stride in each step, but as I got to my designated spot my hands were shaking. I was biting my lip and from what I saw in the photos later, I had a worrisome face on. Right before the music started, my mind went
And if it is true that the lessons we take from failure can be fundamental to later success then I am right. This is where my path to success really begins. It is never late to start again. Small things that aren’t so small can have a big repercussion in someone's life. We as human beings need to learn how to be more loving, respectful and compassionate. I am so proud to be who I am today because of this past experiences. I believe almost everybody has had a time in their lives in which they failed, nobody is perfect. Failure indeed can be fundamental to later success, but the expectations of success are not what people think, at least for me, but I certainly know I'm not
(#14) It has been said, “Failure is not the worst thing in the world. The very worst is not to try.” Do you agree or disagree with this statement? In other words, Failure isn't the worst thing that can be faced but , not at least trying is. High school students face failure at least once in their high school years however, this can be avoided if you just at least try. Trying sometimes might not have the best outcome but it's better than the outcome of someone not trying at all. Students should at least put a little effort in their work even if they feel it's
" Only those who dare to fail greatly can achieve greatly. " This quote is so very true if you take a second to think about it. I can't think of any times that I have achieved great without failing at first. In fact, I can't think of anything I would consider a great achievement that I didn't fail at first.
“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” - Thomas Alva Edison
Failure creates success, and if you do not make an effort, you will never know how far you can go. Success comes with failure, but success will never come without effort. Always take the shot; you never know where it could bring you. Experiencing minor setbacks prepares you for a major
The first experience of watching a ballet, for me or any little girl, can be fascinating and exhilarating. Wondering how a dancer can be so steady on her toes as she spins in circles and leaps through the air. Watching a ballet, there is a feeling of wanting to be graceful, as well as the warm sensation felt by a little girl as she slips into dream land. My mom had taken me to my first ballet when I was 11 years old. When we returned home home, she signed me up for classes at the local dance center. The expectations to become a prima ballerina would involve much hard work and concentration. I knew when I started it would take years of steady practice and commitment. Learning the history of ballet and the famous dancers made me intrigued. I wanted to be like them. So I had set the goal, then I set the pace. To my misfortune I was unable to reach my goal. Gymnastics was another activity I enjoyed. I was unaware of the damage I was doing to my body until I found myself in a hospital bed being told by the doctors, no more dancing. I could no longer practice ballet, I could only watch. I have no regrets. Watching a ballet is just as much fun.

The effects of failure can be devastating, but every one has to fail eventually, even people like J.K. rowling have had to start at rock bottom again they just need to push themselves in the right direction. In J.K Rowling's speech she stalks about her failures and how she came back from them to right a definingin books series. She claims “It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all – in which case, you fail by default.”(Rowling,20). With this she says that failure is an important aspect of every ones life but then she says”Failure gave me an inner security that I had never attained by passing examinations. Failure taught me things about myself that I could have learned no other way.”(Rowling, 21). With this she talks about how important it was for her to fail to begin with, because it's important to fail in life just as long as you can get up and brush yourself off afterwards
The best advice I have ever gotten in my life is "You won't ever fail unless you just simply stop trying". Advice from family members and friends are something I will always take with me no matter the position I am in or the struggles I am facing. I will always remember this as a statement to never give up and when times become hard just keep on pushing through them. Now, needless to say, I have been stressed and had struggled along the way, but, I mean who doesn’t while they are juggling college classes, high school classes, and maintaining an exceptional GPA. Life has thrown at me some troubling times but has also set the bar for what I want and what I expect from myself.

It’s best for people to experience failures to learn from them and never repeat them. The definition of failure would be “the lack of success.” Failures could range on how important they are. Some failures could be major and only affect a person in a small way. Some failures could affect a person on how the person views life or how the person lives it. An example of a small failure could be to check the milk expires to avoid drinking it. A person could of accidentally drank the rotten milk and then learned from that point on to check the expiration date instead of just drinking it. That failure wouldn’t be as important as other

OUCH! My leg crippled with pain. I tried to shuffle my way to the window, but it was excruciating. As my senses kicked back in, I felt pains shooting up and down my body. Peering down at my hands I screamed. My hands were covered in cold, congealed blood.
