"Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. it's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere."

This quote is somewhat true, We build from those mistakes and learn from them. We as a species can not learn thru success alone, but thru the pain of failure and defeat can we really create our own mark own the world. This world is great, so you must be greater than it.

i agree with this quote because it is hard to make a mark in history, and not everything comes easy to everyone, you need to work hard and not be scared to fail.
Everyone fails in trying to acomplish somthing but some people get scared and give up. If you are really determined to make your mark you wont be discourage and keep on going.

i dont agree with this quote because barack osama wrote it...im just playing idk i dont really under stand it but i think i makes sence because if you let the failier get to you, you wont be able to do what you wanted to do like if you ride a bike and you fall a bunch of time and then quit well thats what it is saying"dont let the failer get to you"

This quote is true because if you give up after failing at something you may never want to do it again. But if you keep trying you will get better and succeed. So what I think this says is that the way you deal with your defeat is what shapes you as a person.

this means that not everything in life is easy it all takes time and patience. if one doesnt have the time and the patience for something they realy want or something they need to achieve then that doesnt always work! you need to have time and if you realy want something then you would let it take its time and just hope for it to come!
oh yess :]

I AGREE WITH THIS QUOTE BECAUSE I THINK THAT IS HARD TO LEAVE A MARK IN THIS WORLD, BECAUSE IT TAKES TIME AND EFFORD TO GET TO THE PLACE YOU WANT TO GET. BUT [[YOU NEED TO FALL IN ORDER TO KNOW HOW TO GET TO GET UP]] BUT I THIK THAT IF U DONT FAIL AT SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT GOIN G TO APPRECIATE WHAT U ACOMPLISH AS MUCH AS IF YOUR GOT IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. I BELIVE THAT FAILING AT SOMETHING ITS NOT SOMETHING BAD IT DEPENDS HOW YOU TAKE IT OR IF YOU LET IT GET IN YOUR WAY.

i agrre with this quote becouse its hard, and just becouse you want to do somthing you are gonna do it,you have to be commited you have to be persistence. just like when you are learning how to ride a skateboard, your gonna fall a whole buch of times but if you dont quit you will learn, you got to learn form your mistakes in order to not do the samething ove and over again.

I agree with this quote because there is always something trying to pull you down and trying to put you down so you won't get back up and try again. But if you really want something you won't let those things get in your way. You'll push them aside as if they weren't even there and keep on going.

I do agree with this quote, because it is a hard life out there and you cant just think that everything so easy. You have to work for it until you are ready and if you fail doing something you have to continue ang try next time until you know you can do it. It dont even matter how many times you do it you can actually learn something from it.

I agree with this quote bvecause you can never succeed in something if you just give up that easily because youfailed the first time. It takes failure to succeed. You wont alwayz gets something your first try. For example potty training, it is very hard because at first you're only used to going in the pamper, it its time & effort to adjust. But if you quit because you dont get it the first time, you'll never succeed in it.

I believe this statement is 100% true. You don't automatically get do the things you want You have to try and then some to really put yourself where you want to be. In anything you do there will be times of downfalls, troubles, and more but what makes it worth doing is trying again, again, again to you know what your doing is right. People have it easy and some have it hard. For those with the hard life must sacrifice time and effort in order to rreally be known in the world. No one ever thought Barack Obama would make it to presidency but with hard work continously he was able to pull off a historical, mind blowing action being the first african american president of the united states. We try, we fall, we get up.

I do agree with statement because thing don't just come to you on a silver platter. you must work warder at it in order to get what your working for. Things don't just happen, things don't just become success you must work hard for it.

11:40 AM  
Blogger Clara said...

I believe this quote is entirely true, because if you want something it won't be handed to you on a silver platter, you to work hard to reach your aspirations. When you want to do something really badly you work hard for it even when you have failures and you feel like giving up, but you need to keep trying because once you've accomplished your goal you get a sense of satisfaction that no one can take from you. For example: We are a multi-cultural country, and some people in this country are racist and so when presidential candidate-turned president, Barrack Obama was running for office a lot of people felt that this wouldn't happen, they thought it would be like what happened with Jesse Jackson. Barrack, however rose above the hype and with perseverance, hope and determination, he never gave up, he jumped the hurdles and is now America's first African American president and will go down in history.

i agree with this quote because when you want to complete something it takes more than knowing that certain skill. you have to be determined to make it through hard times and its natural to have enemys and discouraging influences. during obama's campaign he went through many discriminating lies and things that could've made him give up because of what other people believe that isnt true. through the midst of it all (gender race background judgments etc.) obama persevered and encouraged others to never fail. obamas goal is to make the united states of america a better place for every one and IT WILL HAPPEN. in the end obama won this race which went down in history for the first black president of the U.S. and nothing stopped him from doing what he wanted to do.

I agree with this quote because your success is not going to come to you. Its basically saying that you are not going to be born in the world known as some bigtime person. Also, its saying that failure will be with you along the as you do something just like Abraham Lincoln. These are some failures along with few success which didn't stop him from becoming The United states 16th president :
1831 - Lost his job
1832 - Defeated in run for Illinois State Legislature
1833 - Failed in business
1834 - Elected to Illinois State Legislature (success)
1835 - Sweetheart died
1836 - Had nervous breakdown
1838 - Defeated in run for Illinois House Speaker
1843 - Defeated in run for nomination for U.S. Congress
1846 - Elected to Congress (success)
1848 - Lost re-nomination
1849 - Rejected for land officer position
1854 - Defeated in run for U.S. Senate
1856 - Defeated in run for nomination for Vice President
1858 - Again defeated in run for U.S. Senate
1860 - Elected President (success)

Yes i really beilve that this statement is so true. if you want something in this world you are going to go through your ups and downs. An example Is if you just got a bike and you have training wheels on it . when you start riding it your going to fall so that's why you have training wheels. once you start getting to know how to ride the bike your training wheels can come off then.

this quote is true bcuz trying to leave ur mark on the world is among one of the hardest things to do in one persons life time.also bcuz it is almost impossible to do it alone. everyone needs help at some point in their life to do something unexpected in life and leave their mark on the world.

I agree with this speech because for example to be famous, you need to work hard. That to be known real good, you need to do something that benefits you and everybody else. And that to get to wherever you want to go, you need to work hard. You need to have good pecience because things take patience.

i agree with this quote because in order to make your mark you need to show people that there is a posibility for change, and it can sometimes come easy for some but hard for others and thats when faliure comes.

I agree with this quote because it is true that leaving your mark on this world before you die is hard. You may have to keep trying because you fail at it continuously, but, in the end, everything pays off. If you don't have the right attitude, you'll give up after one or two times, and you won't leave anything behind. Everything depends on you, and the type of person you are. If you quit, then with that quit, goes the chance of leaving something behind. If it was really important to you, you'd follow through with it, no matter how much it takes.

I agree that the test is what you do when failure heads your way. You can either let it take over you and quit or you can over come it and learn from it. You can let it help you on the way to success. Nothing is just handed to you, you have to work for it, work for it as hard as you can.

I AGREE WITH THIS QUOTE BECAUSE NOT EVERTHING IS EASY. IF U WANT TO DO WHAT U WANT TO DO THEN IT TAKES TIME AND PRACTICE TO BE GOOD AT IT. FOR EXAMPLE YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE A CAR,AND YOU THINK ITS EASY BUT WHEN YOU TRY IT, ITS ACTUALLY HARDER THAN U THINK. IT MAY BE HARD TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE CAR IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION BUT THEN IT TAKES PRACTICE TO LEARN, IT COULD TAKE A WHILE BUT WITH PRACTICE YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO DRIVE.

Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. it's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere."

I agree with the quote because in order to make a mark you have to have pacients with everything and everybody, its not easy because if you dont follow those things your going to be known as a failure and no one wants to be considered as a person that cnat do anything. you have to give in 100% in everything in order to succeed. Life is'nt no joke so you really have to take it seriously and learn from your mistakes!

I agree with this speech because if you try hard to make your place in this world you will never do it by not pushing forward if you fail. for instance this quote is by Barak Obama the president of the united states people would constantly push and put him down but that didnt do anything because look at where he is now, so that is why i agree withy this qoute. BARAK OBAMA I LUV U = D

i agree with this speech because to succed in life, you will fail once or twice. But you shouldnt let that discourage to. You should get back you and keep trying. But if you fail and keep failing then you should have a backup plan...and in that plan you will need to work hard and you will susseed in it. Like many say practice makes perfect!

ok.........weel i think that this is so true you can't let the little bumps in life put you dwn and mostly bring you to failiure. You have just got to stand up and and not let that scare you for the rest of your life. it just has to be one of those scares that has been left but won't lead you to failiure.





EX. you trying so hard to get this job interview and you have evrything ready your speach is ready what your going to tell them your interesting points and your personality, and when you have come home you see that your son has torn it, that won't puit you down right. well that is up to you to decide you can decide to make another one not as acurate but sufficient enough or you can just plainly not go to the interview instead send a note saying why you didn't attend which one would you do

I agree with this quote because in order to succeed you have to go through failures before you get there.If you let the failure shame you then you won't really try to accomplish your goals anymore but if you take the failure in and learn from them and you keep trying then you will succeed, also every one knows you have to go through some bad times to succeed but it depends on how well you deal with them and that will determine how far you go in life.

I agree with this quote because it is hard to have a impact on the world. Eveyone fails when they try for the first time but many just give up and stop trying because they they are frustrated. A few people keep on trying and they see what they did wrong and they fix it so there bnext attempt will be stronger. A example of this comes from Spain. Durruti was a person who had a major impact on spain durring the civil war. It wasnt easy for durruti to make an impact he lost a lot of battles but everytime he loss a battle he examined everything he did wrong and fixed it. It took a while but durruti finally sarted winning major battles that help change spains history. Sadly people didn't realize his impact until he was dead

I agree with this quote because I think it's true that if leaving a mark on this world was easy anyone would do it because we tend to always do what is easy not what is difficult. To leave that mark it takes alot because it's something everyone will remember you by. Like everything in life you will not always succeed at first. There will definately be failure along the way. I think it's better to learn from your what you failed at then avoiding it and giving up.

i do agree with this statement because its an issue that speaks to not just adults, not just teenagers, but to EVERYONE..
if we don't face reality and realize that life is going to be hard along the way and that we are bound to pass through many obstacles on the way, well then we won't prosper. i mean i've had to experience the downs of life, the problems in my life my mom likes to call [growing pains]. i see it to be a struggle but in the end once you conquer it, you can do all! everything i've been through has DEFINITELY made me much stronger. i know adults always claim that [psh !] kidds don't have issues , its all just pity issues, but as a child it feels like the worst, trying to find your identity, trying to prove yourself to everyone, etc. but this quote should reach out to everyone and inspire them to know that with persistance you will TRIUMPH !. .. .

I agree with this quote because life is not easy. Life would never be easy. If life was easy, everybody would be doin what they want to do in the world, but thats not the case. You have to be patience in the world, if your not patience, your going to keep quiting in life. You have to be committed because you are going to face failure, and if you quit when you face failure,it is going to show that you are a failure. If you are a failure, you will continue to fail over and over again until yo be patience and be committed.

I agree with this quote because 'making a mark on the world' IS hard; it isn't easy. You have to work for it, & on the road to working for it, you may come across failure, but that doesn't mean you should give up. You either decide you can learn from it, or give up from shame :]

I agree with this quote because it is true. For example someone that wants to be know and famous has to start from the bottom and work his way up to star being known, but it is not easy starting which makes it hard to being known or famous, this means you have to work hard and try your best to become succesful and put 100% energy on your work so that everyone will take notice and notice you world wide.

I AGREE, BECAUSE I THINK THAT YOU HAVE TO FAIL IN ORDER TO WORK HARDER AND SUCCED. YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO SUCCEED IF YOU DONT HAVE ANY OBSTACLES ALONG THE ROAD! YOU HAVE TO BE DETERMINED TO SUCCEED IN LIFE. YOU SHOULD NEVER GIVE UP DOW.AND YES,IT WOULD BE HARD BUT NEVER GIVE UP =D!!!!!!!

AN EXAMPLE:
!!BASICALLY YOU CANT NEVER GIVE UP !!! LIKE OBAMA IT WAS HARD BECOMEING A PRESIDENT HES BEEN THREW ALOT ALL BECAUSE OF HES COLOR AND WERE HE CAME FROM ..BUT HES UP AD RUNNING,AND HE MADE HES MARK IN THIS WORLD IN BECOMEING THE FIRST AFRICAN-AMERICAN PRESIDENT OF THE UNITTED STATES AND HES GONNA BE ONE OF THOSE PERSONS THAT ARE GOING TO BE REMEMBERED IN THE FUTURE !!

I REAAAAAAAALLY agree because someone learns from their mistakes and if they choose to learn from their mistakes they will probably do better the next time that they try. It is also going to make you harder or more prepared in life. Life is unpredictable so we humans have to be prepared both emotional and physical. Like dey say practice makes perfect.
