You Have The Choice

"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."  Thomas A. Edison

Some people might say that failing is unacceptable, which this is not true at all. In order to make it somewhere in life you have to fail.

When it comes to the topics, is it ok for kids to fail some might not know how to answer this. Keep in mind that no one is perfect, everyone messes up and it’s human to do so. You can’t protect someone from failure no matter how hard you try it just isn't possible. If you try to protect your kid from failure, you are making them see no matter what you have to be perfect. Doing this will affect the child and make them see the world for only being perfect, which no wrongs. This not the world that we live in, no one is perfect. Also, I feel that every place is a safe place to fail.

If you think of failing as help, what I mean by this is in order to succeed you need to fail. Once you get knocked down, you have to build back up, and you will succeed once you get back on your feet.

 This reminds me of the movie Aladdin, in the movie he was seen as a poor person and had nothing going for him. Even though this movie might be a child’s classic movie, Aladdin did fail. He failed at being a good friend and treating and using Genie as if he had done nothing for him. Soon after Aladdin did realize the way he was acting was wrong he turned around and changed his actions. The truth about the movie is that he did fail many times at trying to be perfect and make everyone see him as such. At the end of the movie my favorite part was when he set Genie free.

Genie was confused why he would do such a thing, the reason behind him doing this was after all the times him trying to be perfect and prove himself as something he is not, he now showed that he has a heart and he succeeded to show everyone he can do something right. To my belief in order to succeed at something you have to fail.
