A good story is one that isn't demanding, that proceeds from A to B, and above all doesn't remind us of the bad times, the cardboard patches we used to wear in our shoes, the failed farms, the way people you love just up and die.

During the last several chapters of the nonfiction novel From Tragedy to Triumph, authors John Tartaglio and Andrew Chapin assert that cowering at the possibility of failure ruins more opportunities than failure itself ever will. While taking readers on Tartaglio’s journey through running the whole 26.2-mile distance of the New York City Marathon, Tartaglio and Chapin want readers to push past their fears and take ownership of their performance.

Many people tend to have lazy and carefree attitudes when given the option. Those types of people procrastinate until the very last minute, and are usually viewed as having childish personality traits. In the beginning of “Flight” by John Steinbeck, the main character, Pepé, fits this description well. Pepé’s mother, Mama Torres, antagonizes Pepé with remarks about his laziness, “Some lazy cow must have got into thy father’s family, else how could I have a son like thee” (Steinbeck 455). She never said anything optimistic to Pepé to make him feel like a man, until he was forced to become one. Pepé had gone to Monterey to fetch medicine and salt for Mama Torres, where he ended up murdering a man. He came back to tell his mother what had happened, and she urged him to take off on a journey to flee from his pursuers, which resulted in his inevitable death. John Steinbeck used strong symbols and motifs in “Flight” to coincide with the themes of coming of age and inevitable death.

I will give two stories both only related because both are about plane. Both of these stories have a compelling lesson for understanding that failure is not a reason to give up but a driving force to fuel creativity and continue to pursue your goals in life and why I want to purse a master’s Degree at Point Loma Nazarene University. When building a paper plane you take a sheet of paper and fold it a couple of times until you have something that resembles an airplane. A paper airplane is quick you fold it, you try it, and ultimately you crash. However, crashing fuels creativity because the cost for failure is low, but that 's the beauty of paper planes, lots of quick, cheap failures are a desirable thing we don 't learn much when it succeeds;
One of the best representations I could give to someone would be a 93-year old man that almost made it to the Olympic USA table tennis team. Although he has been playing table tennis for 86 years and first started when he was 7 years old he still could not make it past the recreational level. You would think that after 86 years of playing the sport you love you would accomplish your dreams, sadly after all these years he still hasn’t made it to the Olympics, his ultimate dream. Now his dream will forever be left unaccomplished and be left for the next hopeful table tennis player. If this guy who was better than most by far with a crazy amount of dedication couldn’t make it, this just shows how hard it is to make it past the recreational
