My english professor wants us to write a paper on 5 selected quotes, an part of the paper is giving an example of the meaning behind the quote. The quote is "This thing called 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down."

{The example our professor gave us was for the quote "You do not know who is your friend and who is your enemy until the ice breaks" in which the example was Harriet Tubman, in which he explained all the things she did to help slaves excape via the underground railround.}

How the hell can some people not blame the mummy for this? No 8 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous toddler is conscious the F-be conscious and different swears with out listening to it someplace else, fantastically much continually at homestead. If the toddler is in public and hears some punks utilising those words, the mummy would desire to instruct him that that's inaccurate to apply them. additionally, sons and daughters like those study violent habit from television or probably relatives violence in the relatives. the mothers and dads would desire to censor what crap the toddler is watching, and if there's a relatives concern, they might desire to the two recover from it, or divorce. A 8-3 hundred and sixty 5 days-previous boy does not would desire to stay in that style of environment. If there is any blame right here, all of it is going to the father or mom. speaking of the father, the place is he? i'm very curious as to the place he's whilst all it is taking place. This toddler desires some help. He needs to work out a counselor or a psychiatrist to choose what's incorrect with the toddler's head, what's incorrect along with his relatives, or probably the two. If those issues are not addressed, he will advance as much as be an entire psychopath, and could would desire to be contained in reformatory. "nicely, you likely deserved it"?? Are you kidding me? She acts as though what he did became not something, and he have been given punished adequate. that toddler must be taken far flung from her, as directly as possible. That woman does not should call herself a mom, much less a great mom.

I think the quote means that no matter how many times you do bad, you can only truly fail if you give up and stop trying.

If you need a quote for the assignment, a good one is "failure is not falling over the obstacles but walking away entirely."

"I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right."

Albert Einstein



Imagine If Einstein had quit after his 99th failure!! We would not have shared his 100th Victory.





"I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed."

Michael Jordan



Stamina=Success Quiting=Failure

All journey's take different amounts of time. If you keep driving you get there.
