=**"** With one success a thousand failures lie forgotten, but with one refusal to try, a thousand successes may prematurely die." said by an Unknown Author. =

There are many historical figures that can be applied to this quote. Let’s think of Thomas Alva Edison. He failed in his work interminable times, however, he never give up and created the best and most important invention we use today, the light bulb. If he gave up we would probably be sitting in the dark trying to learn. Another example is Albert Einstein, who had dyslexia. In this kind of disease you cannot write or read properly. He never gave up and figured out his theory of relativity. Also, Benjamin Franklin was the inventor of electricity, and just as Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein, if he had given up in his experiment, all would be lost. No video games, no late movies, no cell phones, and all because there was no technology. Consequently, that is what our world would be like if some people always give up. The only thing we would have is each other, and nothing else. The sun would be our only source of light and energy. So, giving up could cause major consequences for your future. If you want to be famous in any way, shape, or form, you will have to learn to never give up. Always try your best no matter how hard it may be. That is what this quote means to me. **
 * Only having one success there are “a thousand failures" to “lie forgotten.” But with one refusal to try, a thousand successes may prematurely die." This is what never giving up is all about. But, that one time that you give up, you may be thinking about the project/experiment and how impossible it must have been, then you forget all of your successes and you think 'Why did I give up? I shouldn't have given up...” The world is a big place filled with many things that look impossible, but when you finally try it and get success, everything turns worth while. Have you ever lost at your own game? Well practice makes perfect. If you ever lost at a game, you should always practice. Consequently, the next time you’re trying to overcome the task you will be ready for everything involved. That is what this quote means to me. **


 * Let’s take my own experience for example. One day I had to create a 3-D instrument for music. I failed at everything I tried. Glue, tape, not even duck tape worked. Then I gave up. The next day I told my teacher the problem. He said that I should try my best for the project. Inspired by my teachers trust, I went home and tried to "experiment" with the tapes and glue. I created a double sided tape which held my 3-D project together. When I handed it in early, my instructor told me that if I had stopped at the point at which I gave up, I would have gotten a 60, a F. Nevertheless, I did not give up and earned the grade of 100, an A+. As you can see, if I had gave up in this project I would have failed a test grade. I, being who I am, got inspired and tried to fix the errors in my project. Consequently, I got an A+. If you do not give up you will "not refuse to try" and “a thousand failures will be forgotten". **


 * We all know that we are good at something more than others. Still, to achieve what you want is not always easy and simple. There will be many problems and bumps along the way. If you give up, you will want to start your life all over. You cannot redo what has already been done. Do not live in the past, it won't get you anywhere. Go forward and goad yourself to try your best all the time, at anything, anywhere. Try and fail, try and fail, try and fail. All until you finally succeed. Believe in yourself, as said by Michael Jordan, “You have to know you can do something before you try it". It is your decision. Live your life with hard work and praise by all those who know you, or regret not trying to do your best. It is your time and this is your decision. After this, there is no turning back. Go for it! What do you have to lose? ****

Think of baseball. When a teamate is up at bat, at the 9th innimg, at the world series,when the basesv are loaded, the score is 21 to 22. There is so much happening. Then....CRACK!!!! Its a home run. This is a pleasent surprise.

I would always be bewildered when my parents would say that the only time that I will get a dog will be when I am 18.One time I was walking home. I just ran 44 laps around the gym in 21 minutes. I was greeted with an awkward smile from my dad. That was weird since he is always working and usually comes home at 10. I went to my room. A small whimper was coming from the corner. It was a baby Siberian husky! My mom came into the room and yelled, "surprise!” I was very overwhelmed by this event. See, this is only one out of many examples of a pleasant surprise. ** ** This unexpected visit had a positive effect on my life. Because of it, I learned a lesson. The lesson was that no barrier can keep family away from giving me what I want. Now every time I open door to a ring, I always think about the unexpected surprise that I once experienced, and hope for it to repeat itself. One day, I'm sure that it will, and the fact that it will be an UNEXPECTED surprise excites me at this moment. **
