Richard Parkes Cordock once said, “You must expect failure as part of your journey of success, failure and success go hand in hand, you cannot have one without the other.”
This quote is inspirational because it is basically telling me that it’s
okay to have failure to reach your goal in life and to be successful in life. It
motivates me because it’s okay to fail, but if you pick yourself back up then
you will be one step closer. Many times in my life have I failed and gave up,
but recently I have been standing back up on my two feet and doing things in
order to have success in my future. Back in freshman and sophomore year, I would really not understand school because I didn’t really care about what happened. College was so far away that back then it wasn’t even a thought. Now, it is
almost a reality because it’s right around the corner. I picked up my grades and
was on the honor roll all of junior year, and aspiring to do the same in senior
year.
