Life Lessons, Never Quit
Since I was young, I have gone through many life lessons. Some of them I go by, but some of them I get rid of. There are some you should only keep for a short time, and there are some you should keep for a long time, because you never know when they will come in handy. The lessons I have decided to keep are very good. You should always keep the good ones and throw away the bad ones, because why should you keep lessons that won’t help you in life. The main lesson I use all the time is to never be a quitter. Being a quitter can be much worse than losing, it’s even worse than being a loser. Would you want to be called a quitter your whole life? To me, I would rather take extra time trying to get it done, than be a quitter. If you quit one thing, then some will most likely quit about every time a roadblock is in your way. Many life lessons, like this one, can be good for people. They can help you out more than they can hurt you. They don’t literally hurt you, they are more like warning for bad things out in this world today, but they are little hints that could help you. Mostly when you are in the time of need. I believe the more lessons you decide to keep is good for your self-character. It’s good to show character about yourself to others, because you don’t want to have a bad first impression. If your first impression is bad to someone you don’t know, then you will have to try hard to make your self image look

    “Never give up, and be confident in what you do. There may be tough times, but the difficulties which gave you face will make you more determined to achieve your objectives and to win against all odds.” This was what women’s Brazilian soccer star Marta once advised. Never giving up may sound like a goal that is impossible to reach in reality. Although that may be true, in literature there are characters who exhibit it ideally. For instance, Joan Bauer’s short story “A Letter from the Fringe” introduces a figure who showcases these traits. On a somber day, Dana, the protagonist, a high school student at Bronley High was tormented by bullies alongside her friend Sally for being overweight. Although, it seemed as if her heart had been torn out and thrown to the side, she was capable of forcing the two tyrants to flee. Afterwards, she insisted that they had no right to…

    The novel "A lesson before dying" by Ernest Gaines, exemplifies that the most significant lesson to learn before dying is that you are worth something no matter what society deems you to be, and as long as you show your humanity and dignity, it does not matter what society thinks.

    Everybody has a good side. Just keep waiting. It will come out.” About me, it is the most touching lesson because that is what I always believe in my life. I think everybody have a good side in their heart, and they always have a lesson that we can learn from them. Although the lesson is good or bad, it is very helpful and meaningful for us because it gives us an experience of life. When I was a kid, my father told me that in my life, I will see a lot of kind of people, good people, bad people or both; but, all of them will teach me an unforgettable lesson about life. Although some of the lessons are free or costless, some of them are so expensive, or maybe I need to pay a whole life for it. However, I cannot avoid it, so I just can accept it because this is a part of…

    This is probably the part where you see someone put a cliché quote that inspires them, but I’m going to jump right into this.

    Further, some of life's best lessons are learned from one's failures. I remember being ten years old when I experienced my first big competitive event on my jump rope team. I was with my sister and best friend and we had prepared for weeks for this event. In spite of perfect practices, we were humiliated by our poor performance and ran off the floor yelling at each other and crying. I never wanted to jump rope again! My parents chased after us to console us, but also to insist that we finish the competition. I felt like a failure, but in retrospect it was a good lesson in accepting disappointment. I was inspired to practice even more for the next competition, and eventually went on to win a world championship.…

    All I can say of what I learned from this is that I tend to see the negative first. It took me far too long to realize that was not the best way to view the world. If I look for the negative first, that is all that I will find. I wish I could say that I follow my own advice, but I don’t. Sometimes it just seems easier to keep to myself. But, I guess that’s how I learned to live with my life.…
