Why should not give up your dreams

 

坚持梦想的理由

 

Failure.失败

 

This word seems counter-intuitive in reasons not to give up your dreams, but failure is more beneficial than you might think. Most people don’t pursue their dreams for fear of failure. Little do they know, this is one of the biggest ways we learn and grow!

 

Many famous and successful Americans had to fail over and over again to achieve what they hoped to in life. Abraham Lincoln failed at war, as a businessman, as a lawyer and even at politics at first. He pushed on through and became president of the United States.

 

Thomas Edison's teachers called him “stupid” and he was fired multiple times before “failing” 1000 times attempting to invent the light bulb. MichaelJordan was once cut from his high school basketball team. He later said,

 

"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games 26 times I've been trusted to take thegame winning shot …and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. That is why I succeed."

 

 

　　If we can learn anything from these successful men, it would be to never give up on our dreams simply because of fear of failure.
