What the video made me think about is that when people say that you are bad at things and that you should stop but you just kept on going and they turned out to be really good at it and become famous. Like for example Dr. Seuss he made a book and twenty seven publishers didn't like it but he kept on going and one said yes and now he is famous for his books.so that just shows you that you should not give up and if you keep on trying.

[ “ If you never failed , you’ve never tried anything new “ ]. This statement means that if you never failed on anything that means you have never have done anything in your life. Like always getting a one hundred on every test and never wanting to do any sports. If you have never tried anything new than you need to step out of the crowd and do stuff. It also means you need to realize what to do. Everybody has failed in life, now matter what.

I do think the statement “If you’ve never failed, you never tried something new” is true. I think it is true because when you try something new you might not always succeed. I also think it is true because you have to practice to get something perfect and it’s not always perfect the first time. Like for instance, when I had my first cross country meet my time wasn’t very good and then every week my time started improving more and more. Now you know, my opinion on why I think this statement is true.

I think that this video is trying to point out that, even when rejected or pushed away some of the most important people end up being the ones that get up and keep trying. I think that the statement, “If you’ve never failed, you have never tried anything new” is true, because if you have not ever done something you didn’t know how to do, you've never had the struggle of learning how to do something new. As we all probably know, when you struggle you usually end up failing at least a few times.

I think that there are a lot of things In life that you can succeed and fail on. I think the best times are when you fail because you can learn from those mistakes. I think that I'm pretty good at basketball but sometimes I do fail, at the worst possible times. While I fail I'm learning my mistakes at the same time. One in particular thing happened to me though. I have played a game before and it was the last 5 seconds left, we were one point down and the ball came to me and I missed the shot. I felt like the worst player in the world but I have learned whatever happens happens and I can just learn from that.

This video made me think about many people who have failed like us and succeeded. It also made me feel like no matter how many times we fail if we are persistent and keep trying we can always succeed.This video is telling us and teaching us about our failures and how we can think about them. It's basically telling us not to give up and just be persistent and even if he might fail a couple of times if you are persistent you can always succeed. I think that the following statement means even the best people at a certain thing can fail and just cuz you see their succeeding side or their successful side they can still have a failure side or a not-so-good side but since they stayed with it and didn't give up they became successful and people know them for being successful. I think the statement is true because to be good at something you have to practice and you're practicing because you can always get better. You're going to fail at some point because not everyone's the best or perfect when they start or when they end. So the statement is basically saying you're going to fail and you need to learn not to be afraid to fail and to think about the good part after all the practice and after all the failing. I think that these lessons can teach us a lot about not giving up or staying to your goal.

I dont think that statement is true because you can complete something on your first try and then go try something new and get it on the first time. What Im trying to say is that you can try something new even if you fail or complete the task.

While watching the video it made me feel sympathy for the people but it also makes me feel like I should never give up even if people tell me I can’t do it because these people succeeded. The video shows the great challenges in life and how people can tell you that your “stupid” and “your to dumb to learn anything,” these type of things didn’t make these people give up. I think this statement is true because your not just going to try something new and get it right every single time. It's basically saying nobody's perfect.

I think what the quote “If you’ve never failed, you never tried anything new.” I think it's a true statement because if you never failed you've never tried anything new it means like for example Baseball you will fail in baseball probably over and over again when you start. But if you never tried it so it's nothing new. You will continuously fail multiple times.

The video Famous Failures made me think about how to never give up and keep trying. There are lots of things in life I have tried and no done very good but I keep trying. We all face challenges in life. A challenge I have faced is when I'm playing basketball I’m afraid I’m never gonna make the shot but then I keep shooting until I make it. I think the quote “If you’ve never failed, you never tried anything new.” is a true statement because if you try something new and you fail you have the chance to learn and keep trying until you get it right. I like the point it made about how nobodys perfect and can make mistakes in life but we have to keep trying.

I think the quote "If you've never failed you've never tried anything new" means that for example I have missed so many shots in soccer because I am not perfect at it but that doesn't mean I should just give up I should keep trying, but I've tried something new every time because I failed so many times at a lot of things not just soccer.

The video made me think of all my failures in life. I think the video is saying everyone has failures even the greatest people. I think the statement is true because everyone fails you have to learn to do everything. That is my blog on what I think about the video.

I think it is true because say your 3 and you have never tried to sing the abc’s. If you have never tried then you’ve never failed. Another reason you are a rock climber and you try another way to climb and you fail and fail that means you have tried something. I have no other explanation on how to say that it is true, sorry. I hope you have a great day. In tell next time.

I agree because when you keep succeeding then you will not have a failure to learn from. We learn from our failures. When you only succeed you only do the same over and over and over again with no change.A failure can help you learn from the subject, Example like, Basketball or Football or even just growing a plant. You have to learn and fail to change and learn and succeed. In order to succeed you have to fail.

The video made me think of how people can put you down but you can stand tall and accomplish many great things for example a teacher told Tomas Edison he was “Too stupid to learn anything” but did Tomas Edison listen to the hate no he didn’t he invented the light bulb he tried over and over to find a way and then one day he found out a way to do it. The quote at the end said “if you’ve never failed, then you’ve never tried anything new.” this quote is very true if you are afraid all your life to try something new then you will never succeed and if you always succeed then you’ve never really tried something new. These people in the video didn’t give up so why should we?

This video makes me think that famous people fail so many times but then they succeeded for example like Albert Einstein He wasn't able to speak on till he was 4 years old and his teacher said "Never amount to much. So I think that if you want to be good at something you have to keep trying again until you succeeded at what you are doing.

I think the quote “If you’ve never failed, you never tried anything new.” means that sometimes people tell you things that are mean but aren't true and doesn't mean you should give up. When I was watching the video I couldn't believe that that happened to those people because they are so known.

I think that this statement is true because if you never fail at anything than you will never learn anything and if you never learn anything than you already know everything and if you already know everything then you will never learn anything new.

This statement is true because if you never fail at something your not gonna have something to learn and to make it better then after learning your gonna be able to do it.
