In the Right to fail written William Zinsser believed the dream was attainable and that you could fail while trying to get there. Society basically makes the impression on people that failing is bad. Failing isn’t bad at all. You may need to fail just to see where you went wrong. In fact many successful people have failed in their lifetime but still reached the dream.
Selected Citations from Poor Richard's Almanack “None but the well-bred man knows how to confess a fault, or acknowledge himself in an error.” and “How few there are who have courage enough to own their Faults, or resolution enough to mend them!” These quotations basically mean that most people don't like to look inside themselves and see their flaws. A well-bred and courageous person sees who they are and acknowledges it without getting discouraged or insecure. The second part means that most people go on with their lives dealing with their flaws and trying to fix them to make themselves a better person. We all know that as humans it is in our nature that we make mistakes and faults but few of us have the guts to acknowledge their faults. These quotes is relevant to me that in every fault or failure I make I don’t have to be defensive about it but accept these mistakes and to use them as stepping stone to improve myself and change for the better.
A reason why the people believe in jimmy so much because he was so determined. Most people would just give up at first because it is to much effort but jimmy did not do so.

I have never met a person, male or female, black or white, smart or dumb, that has ever said “I want to be second best.” We all want to feel that we are accomplished. I am in no way an exception to this idea. I do want to be the best, which is not a bad thing but it becomes an issue when purposely hurt another just to make us feel better. Also, the way we treat people that are not similar to us. It’s happened
To express this in other words, if you are working on a hard problem, you are going to make mistakes. It’s easy to expect perfection from ourselves and/or the fear the judgment that comes with “messing up”. Even at its worse, we learn from those errors to really dive into the problem for a successful result. That is not a new concept, but it is one that is often forgotten. Mistakes are actually indicators that you are actually trying to succeed, so without them you are not doing much at all.
Some negative attributes ascribed to a Six that honestly reflect me are as follows: critical of self when expectations are not met, procrastinating due to fear of failure, worry about being taking advantage of, and always scanning for danger. All of these negative attributes basically fall under the insecurity blanket if you will, but at the same time and what totally sold me on the results of the Enneagram, was that the complete opposite can also be said about a Type Six. They are weak and strong, aggressive and
All of the people in the brave New World believe they are the best they can be which means there is no desire to achieve anything or try harder. This also furthers the gap between real human nature because it is just basic instinct for people to make things better for themselves. When the world controller makes John stay as punishment it’s clear that the world is not a utopia because John hangs himself. By acknowledging the dystopia, Aldous Huxley demonstrates how one man's heaven is another man’s hell. Along with many other possible themes, “A perfect world is unachievable without imperfection” fits quite nicely.
we need to show them that we care, what better way to show them we appreciate them than to carve a replica of them in something as enduring as rock. Michael McLean, my mom, and Jataya are three of the heroes that the world doesn’t know by name. They are always helping others, but they never get the recognition that they deserve. They deserve to be put on Mt.
You do something above and beyond there will be a reward, you do something you know you are not supposed to do and there will be a negative consequence. This instills the idea of right and wrong. It prevents them from believing every action they take in the right direction earns a reward, but also lets them know that is they fall in their behavior that they will be reprimanded for their actions. Most parents from the study this book is based off of believed this was the option they thought they were using. However after discussing with other parents they found that they had flawed their own parenting plan by not being consistent enough with either of the
However, I do not succeed in every task I attempt. Failure is generally assumed to be a negative word. I believe failure is essential for success because people will always learn from their mistakes. I believe if one puts their full effort in completing a task he/she will truly not fail, regardless the outcome. There is virtually unlimited amount of information in society.
