A wise unknown author once said "** With one success a thousand failures lie forgotten, but with one refusal to try, a thousand successes may prematurely die." This quote means if you try that what ever you are trying is possible to happen. If you never try you can not succeed. If you do try anything is possible. This can be a true, in everyones lives.

I remember last year. I was at a basketball game, the other team was making foul shots. They had 7 shots. Our team was up and I was last. 7 shots. "Ok" I thought, "I can do this". 1st shot: miss. I relax and shoot the ball. A perfect arch, and... Its in! I did not know how important that shot was. 10 seconds left, we were down by 1. My teamates run down and make it. Game Over. That one foul shot i made, made us win! This was one lesson I wouldn't forget as, it would help me later on in life.

Now lets think about some people everyone else knows. Here's someone. Bill Gates. Founder of microsoft and has over 50 Billion dollars. Do you think he ever quit while in school? No. He kept trieing and learning. Albert Einstein. He had mental retardation and didn't do well in school. Many colleges didnt accept him, either. Yet he got many awards and Nobel prizes for Scientific laws, and he also came up with new ideas like wormholes. Celebertys as well as everyday people are good models for this quote.

This wise person is right. Never try and you will surely fail! Why would you want to quit and never succeed? Do you? I don't! Thats why this quote is a good model. I care for my country and the world. So, join me, and together we can not fail!!!

"Life can be full of pleasant surprises. Identify a time when you experienced a pleasant surprise." A pleasant surprise is something you want. It is also something you might need. It is always a benifit for you. Everyone __wants__ a surprise.Many people have different surprises. Everyone has or will have a pleasant surprise in their lifetime.

I have had a very pleasant surprise.I had always begged my parents to get a dog. It was 3 years ago, when i was nine, that I walked in my door. There, in the middle of the room was a mid-sized dog. She had a soft, golden coat and big floppy ears. Loveable, she licked my face. That was one of my very pleasant surprises that i had always valued.

A famous pleasant surprise happened on July 20, 1969 when [|Neil Armstrong] and [|Buzz Aldrin] landed on the moon in the [|Apollo 11]. (Neil being the first one to step on the moon.) The world watched in awe as Neil bounced on the moon. Surprisably, the 2 men had made it on the moon unscathed. Only twelve people had walked on the moon in a 41 year period. This was a very pleasant surprise.

Life is full of many crazy and wacky surprises. While there are many of them, some are good while others are bad. You can never know what is going to happen around the bend.
