 * "**With one success a thousand failures lie forgotten, but with one refusal to try, a thousand successes may prematurely die." Means that if you succeed at something it doesn't matter how times you failed until you succeeded, but if you don't even try then you will lose a thousand chances to succeed. For example, Thomas Edison failed in his work a lot, however he did not give up and he created some of the best and most important inventions we use today. If he gave up we would probably be sitting in the dark and wouldn't we wouldn't have so much advanced technology.

Also, I can relate to this quote becuse I always hear people telling me or other people not to give up. One time when I was playing baseball everytime someone on my team was up at bat or I was up they struck out and everyone was ready to give up, but we didn't. The next inning I was first at bat and I hit a triple, but throughout the rest of the inning nobody else hit the ball and I was stuck at third base. However, since I got a hit the rest of the teams spirits went up and we ended up winning the game and went to the championships. If I had given up my team would have lost the game and wouldn't have went to the championships.

Lastly, this quote is great because it is the truth. For example, when you succeed it doesn't matter how many times you failed ,but if you don't try then you are losing chances to succeed. If you lost to someone playing a game almost thirty times and then you beat them the next time you verse them it doesn't matter how many times it took you to beat them. All that matters is that you beat them. If you let them win because you new that they were better than you then you are losing the chance to be great at the game or anything else you do. In conclusion, you should always try your best in anythig you do even if you are the underdog.

Prompt number 2

Pleasant surprises are always right around the corner in life. I have experienced a lot in my life already. One of the best surprises I got was when I got a whole room makeover when I was with my dad so I had no idea. The whole weekend I was at my dads house sleeping over. At my house my mom and step dad were changing my room. They got rid of everything and I got a new bed, tv, dresser etc. My mom repainted my room too. When I came home Sunday night and walked up to my room I could smell new paint. I opened my door and was stunned by what I saw. I couldn't beleive my whole room changed and especially in less than two days. There was a flat screen tv on the wall, and a new bed in the room and etc. This affected my life a lot because now the room fit my lifestyle and personality. My old room worked with the old me, but not with the new me. All in all, this surprise was pleasant and it was great.
