===** " ** With one success a thousand failures lie forgotten, but with one refusal to try, a thousand successes may prematurely die." A once unknown author once quoted this exquisite sentence. When you become successful what took you to that success? Our human nature pelts fail after fail into our lives and we keep on persevering! Why? We know that the praise of success is a lot better than the rain of failure. So why let the “rain of failure” sink us down to size! When you succeed no one cares about how you did it they just want to bask in your glory! Give up… and that rain of failure will never EVER stop! It will be to late… your success story is already long, long gone. L === ===** Imagine… ****a world where no one ever did wrong! Especially you! You got everything rite one the first try! Every ones dream most likely. But do you know how boring that would be? VERY! You could go to bed thinking of the idea for the glow in the dark flashlight than the next day it’s done. Where’s the adrenalin, the rush of getting things wrong and trying to figure out what has happened? All that has disappeared. Gone, out the window. You won’t be able to feel that you have accomplished ANYTHING because if someone else were to think of that the same thing would have occurred, they’d get it rite the first try. So succeed through the failures! **=== ===** If **** you think of Bill Gates over 2 to 3 years or more to make Microsoft! Imagine if he gave up! I wouldn’t be typing this up right now! But no… he kept trying looking pat failure and went on to be HUMUNGESLY ****rich ! ****!!! ****And Walt Disney his 6th grade social studies teacher told him he had no imagination CLEARLY she didn’t know who she was dealing with! Walt Disney sis not let that little failure in his life get to him… is Mickey Mouse around?? Indeed he is! **=== ===** You **** con not succeed without the use of failure, wee need it1 we love the rush of anger it gives us the emotions it causes! And it makes success all the much more glorious. And if you give up with **** “one refusal to try” **** you downright going to let ** “a thousand successes may prematurely die." === ===** By ****further means this quote means is to alert the public if you want to do something don’t give up… always try or else your dreams will be crushed and die. So if you like the taste of failure, give up. If not THEN KEEP ON TRYING! **===

Life has its way of sneaking surprises at you when you DEFINITELY are not expecting them. Like the time Christmas came around and my sister and I cried at the sight of our surprise! It was Christmas of 2009, wasn’t to far back, the rush of opening presents, the anticipation of getting to open the next one, the thrill of eating the rest of the cookies left behind. All of these emotions rattled in my skull that morning because of the word SURPRISE! My dad as we came to a trickle amount of presents left to open, there was a box. This box was sitting back there huge! With in giant yellow printing the words SURPRISE! It was heavy maybe to heavy to lift. We somehow managed to set it free in the middle of the carpet. From inside we heard the slightest noise, barking. Kari and I stood there our hearts beating out of our chest. Not sure if this was all some kind of joke. On three we ripped the paper and tore off the paper the box look like it was in a 1 on 1 match with a sumo wrestler! We opened the box carefully, to find rocks! Rocks on top of another box. Our hearts dropped to the floor. Still we opened the other box. More rocks but this time a tape recorder with the sound of the dog barking over and over. We were furious! We got a twitch in our eye our stomached felt to be on fire, and we were ready to scream! Until we opened the last box... Inside was a Wii sitting rite there in front of our very faces. With Mario kart (our favorite game) was laying there with it. Kari and I screamed with joy! We jumped up, we bounced about, and we hugged each other. It was the greatest surprise and the longest anticipation ever! Life snuck that one up on us… we didn’t know how or when we were going to get one we really gave up thinking about it for a month or two because the answer would still be no. and think of lots of other people who got huge surprised in their life. Like Abe Lincoln, he thought that he would not become president because he was to honest with his people but look at him not… he goes down as one of the greatest presidents of all time! Surprises can happen at any moment good… or bad. Things happen but karma quotes if “one does bad things bad things with happen”. Bad surprises happen and you have to take them as it is. But when good surprises happen… you will wear the hugest smile for the rest of the week! Kristina Mastrocola
