However, to hold yourself together when everything else in life is falling apart is true strength. That will lead you to the good parts of life. 2. Do Not Regret. Every decision gives you the opportunity to take credit for creating your own life. Even though you may not be happy with the outcome of the decision you made, accept the outcome and move on with life. Be willing to …show more content…

Cherish every moment and every person that you love, because you never know when it will be the last time you see them. There are many family members and friends that I wish I spent more time getting to know better, because once they were gone, I never got the chance to know really well about who they were as a person and say my goodbyes. Now, I have learned to truly appreciate the time I spend with the people I love. A saying that I believe demonstrates this is “Never ignore a person who loves you, cares for you, and misses you, because you might wake up and realize, you lost the moon while counting the stars.” (John …show more content…

At that moment, we can feel inadequate and like a failure because we failed to create the life we wanted or deserved, but sometimes the magic is in the journey rather than the destination. It is in the lessons we learn along the way and the changes we go through that allow us to become the best versions of ourselves. Although life does not always turn out the way you planned or the way you once thought it would, does not mean it will not turn out better than you ever could have imagined. Let life take you in a new direction, and you may be shocked at how perfect it could end

  • Desire For Success In The Glass Castle By Jeannette Walls

    As children, we are naturally, curious, eager and willing to try new things. When they don’t work out we are quick to move on and try something else. We don’t waste time or start worrying about what didn’t work, we simply move on to trying something else. As we grow older we learn that failure is unacceptable and we always need to be on our feet and improving ourselves all the time so we can decrease the chances of failure. I believe that in this world everyone is hungry for success and no one wants to fail in something they would love to accomplish one day. Desire for success is like a “drug” in this generation, without success people look down upon you and will believe that you’re not worth their time without giving you a chance. The phrase

    ...nnecting our own situations involving this essential question to pieces of literature connects to the human condition; if we have experienced the same feelings, it is tremendously more applicable. It is safe to say that most of us could relate to life not going exactly the way we imagined. However, you cannot dwell on that and stay in a negative place. Thinking in this manner will certainly not call for an advantageous outcome. But being confident in a positive outcome can really make those dealings actually bearable. It is truly imperative to keep a constructive mindset during those dreadful times no matter what you have to endure.

  • The Right To Fail By William Zinsser Summary

    After failing if one does fail, it does not mean the world is over. No, they must get back on their own two feet, dust them self off and keep moving forward. It is similar to riding a horse, or a bike, you may fall down a few times; however, after falling down you get right back up and get right back on the horse or bike. Just because you fail at something does not mean you are destined to fail at life, some are not meant to do a certain thing in life, for an instant I am not meant to work a nine to five job in an office looking at computer screen wasting my time away, i'm meant to be outside in nature working with my hands no matter if it welding in my shop at the house, or being on top of a 110 story building welding. To become truly successful one must first find what they are meant to do in life, getting to that point where you can say “this is what i was meant for”, it may take many failures; however, one can’t stop no matter how many failures one my go through, for the goal of success is never out of

  • Grendel In Beowulf

    Beowulf is considered to be one of the longest remaining ancient English poem. It outlasts in a single copy, thought to date from the turn of the eleventh century, though the structure of the poem is usually placed in the eighth or early ninth centuries, possibly in an Anglian region. Unfortunately, very little is known about the poem’s authorship, date or location of composition and structure, theme, or purpose. Grendel is one of the monsters defeated by the Beowulf in the poem Beowulf. Grendel is a secluded creature who seems thoughtful of the apparent hollow world around him, but also posses an evil nature which makes it difficult to characterize him in a certain group.

    Everyone in life experiences failure. It can affect people positively or negatively and that all depends on how they react to the experience. If one lets their failure overcome their dreams, it will lead them in the wrong path. But if one views their failures as a motive to succeed and grow, then they are on their way to becoming successful. For me, I let my failures in life help build onto my character and define the person I am today. My childhood injury is my example as I let this moment affect the outcome of my dreams I had then.

    Viktor Frankl said, “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing; the last of the human freedoms to choose one’s attitude in any given circumstance, to choose one’s way.” I support this quote because if something doesn’t go the way you want it you could either look at the bright and spirited part of it, and make things better, or look at the dull and awful part of it, and make things worse. If it were me I would always try to look at the bright part of it, especially since you are the one who chooses your own perception and outlook on life. That is why you should think of it like this; do you want your perception on life to be tremendous and wonderful or dreadful and horrific.
