Should Libby's Dad Do Her Project Summary

I think this quote means no one is by themselves, there are others that are just like you. I think C.S Lewis is trying to say that you don’t have to be alone and pretend that some experiences only happen to you. Bad and good experiences happen to everyone that can relate to you. This quote means we can read with the confidence that there are others out there who have had the same indescribable feelings that you have. Other people also have read that book and they go through the same experiences and feelings for that book as you.

“I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying. (Michael Jordan)” Humans learn from their failures, but they learn nothing if they do not try to succeed as Michael Jordan explains in this quotation. We must try to truly learn, as simply being taught does not lead to true understanding.

Why is it that the people who care the most about you hate to see you fail? Do they feel your pain? Even though they may not physically feel what you are going through they do understand that failure is rough. They know how much it hurts to accept a loss and they understand just how bad it aches because everyone feels the all too real sting of failure.

We have all encountered some degree of failure in our lives, some worse than others. No one is or ever will be a perfect human being. Failure is certain in our lives among all questionable events. Times of failures are events we can learn from even in the smallest ways. Whether it be a failing grade, not making a sports team, or not winning a game, there is always a lesson to be learned.

Failure is a way for one to realize his or her mistake and learn from it in order to get an improvement or success outcome in the near future. For example, Thomas Edison, who was one of the greatest inventors, saw failure almost many times on a daily basis through his works in creating the automatic vote recorder, the talking doll, and even the light bulb. Still, he admitted that without failing those hundreds and thousands times, he might never be able to eliminate the wrong method and found the right one leading to his success (“Thomas Edison Quotes”). In fact, some other famous persons still suffer a lot of failures before they succeed. For instance, Stephen King, who is a well-known author for his talented writing, had his first book-Carrie

After reading the book Mindset by Carol Dweck, I realized that I need to improve on my fixed mindset in a few different areas in order to be the best person I can be. According to Dweck, a “fixed mindset makes you concerned with how you will be judged, the growth mindset makes you concerned with improving” (13). Carol Dweck discusses the two different mindsets and the impact that having a fixed mindset has on individuals in the long run. In order to grow, learn and improve, I need to accept failure, be more confident in myself, and develop better study habits.

Failure may drag you down for a little but it can also push you to work harder. When it comes to failure you can't let it stop you from achieving your dreams, you have to keep going so you can come out successful. Failure happens to every single human being in this world, even famous people. Founder of the cartoon character Mickey Mouse, Walt Disney, was fired while he was a news editor because he didn't have an imagination or good ideas.

Many messages are often hidden within stories, (Ulysses) has certain points that need to be pointed out. Every story has certain themes that can be pulled out but it 's often hard to understand.

1. “I have not failed. I 've just found 10,000 ways that won 't work.” -Thomas A. Edison Thomas Edison is known for being such a great inventor. Being an inventor, he must have been through a lot of “failures” in his inventions as well as in his life.

The moment people stop looking at failure as a learning experience is the moment we become discouraged. Failure is looked at as total defeat and a reason to give up. Sarah Lewis gives a perfect example of the this in The Rise with the story of Ben Saunders and his journey to the North Pole. Ben Saunders continued to fail, constantly taking steps away from success. Surrendering to failure is essential to being successful.
