Third (supposed to be fourth) entry
Hey everyone, I completely forgot to make a entry last week so I thought I would change my habits of doing them on Saturday to doing them on Friday. It has been an interesting/busy week. I have had homework up the wazoo and been studying like crazy for my physical science test. Along with studying, there is the evil influence of facebook that has also been taking up too much of my time. I did, however, find an interesting movie clip on facebook that I would like to share. the movie clip was titled, "Motivation" and consisted of the failures of many different successful individuals in their specific field. For example, they mentioned a boy that was cut from the High School basketball team and locked himself in his room and cried the whole night. This boy was Michael Jordan. They mentioned a man who's teacher in High School told him he was too stupid and should try to get a job in a field that would work with his pleasant personality. This man was Thomas Edison. I really enjoyed this movie, but I realized I have not experienced failure like these individuals. These individuals took their failure and used it as motivation. I take failure as a clue to try something different. I guess this can be tied back to my last entry where I talked about knowledge and how it is a great blessing if we use it to our fullest potential. I'm still trying to find that "true failure" and use it as motivation. I most likely wont experince it until my mission, but when I do experience it for the first time... I will one pissed-off/happy individual.
