Failure

What do you think of when hear the word failure? Failure is an opportunity to learn from your mistake so that you never make it again. It's a normal thing that happens all the time. I remember back in Middle School during track season where a little mistake caused pain and embarrassment. I was approaching the last hurdle of my 200 meter race, as my foot left the ground, kicked up to run over the hurdle, my little mistake occurred. I kicked the plastic bar and flipped over the hurdle. As I rolled across the track I scrapped my knee and arm. I didn’t give up; I stoop up and pushed through the finish line milliseconds behind the person in front of me. I learned that even if you fail at something, you have many other opportunities to succeed. Giving up makes it a failure, but if you try it’s merely a small accident. Because I never gave up, I still hurdle and have gotten much better. I look forward to it every year and set new goals for myself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T97kkzRMEAY
