Henry Ford once said "Failure is simpley the opportunity t begin again, this time more intelligently."
*That do you think this quote means?
*How does it relate to an experience in your own life?
“Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.” These words come from the famous car maker, Henry Ford. In my own words, this quote means that if you fail at the goal that you want to reach, just simply learn from your mistakes and correct yourself on what you had done wrong. Everyday, many people have complicating goals that they want to reach, but they can’t knock it out on the first try. But, if they put in more effort and correct on what they had done wrong in their way of reaching their goal, they could simply move along and easily complete the complicating goal that person wanted to reach. This quote, to me, sounds like it can be a meaning of life because many people have a certain type of goal or a complicating task that they want to reach or accomplish and the only way of doing that is from learning from those mishaps and continue on in that goal/task.To conclude this paragraph, this quote means that if you want to reach a certain goal in your life, just learn from those errors you made and work more harder on that task with less errors.
ReplyDeleteThis quote plays a huge role in my life. Last summer, I have started a new, highly intense, sport or workout called CrossFit. CrossFit shows a lot of dedication and hard work in everything that you do. The first time I did CrossFit, I had made many errors and I needed to work more harder on the workouts that CrossFit has to offer. So, with my dedication and my commitment in CrossFit, my technique in the workouts for me have increased ,since I started last summer.Also, with CrossFit, I feel that I have become a better athlete. To conclude my thoughts, this quote plays a huge role in my life when I do CrossFit.
I completely agree with what you said and you had a great example. Although I have no idea what the term "cross fit" is, it seems that you put a lot of time and dedication into what you do with it. You also had a great explanation about the quote and I totally agree with what you had to say.
DeleteI agree Vinny!! You told us perfectly what the quote means to you in a nice way. I like the way you said that when you fail ion something the only way to make it better was to try it again, even if you have to do it a couple times to keep doing it. You had an great explanation about the quote that no one else explained in that kind of way. I greatly agreed with what you had to say in your writing!
DeleteI agree with you as well Vinny. Yo demonstrated this quote by explaining your cross fit. You also explained what this quote means in your own point of view. I agree 100% with what you think this quote means.
DeleteI think when Henry Ford says “Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently,” he means that if you fail trying, try again and learn from your mistakes for a better chance next time. Just because something doesn’t go as planned the first time you try, doesn’t mean you should try again. If you keep practicing, you learn from your other attempts and it can only get better from there, but nothing can get better if you don't keep trying and put in the determination for success. In lacrosse when I play offense, I try to shoot. Sometimes when I miss or the goalie catches it i get down on myself and think i’ll never be able to accomplish what i want, but now i realize that its just another opportunity to try again and this time trying not to repeat any of my mistakes. Opportunities are given everyday and people need to learn to take them and try your best at whatever you strive to do. Some of the greatest leaders in the world are successful today by learning from their mistakes and what they already know. If you don’t learn from your faults theres no way you can improve and get better. I think everyone should apply this quote to their lives for a more successful future.
ReplyDeleteHenry Ford once said " failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently." I think this quote has many meanings to it, but I have a few really good ones that I would like to share. For one I think it is saying that seconds chances are always a grateful thing. She life gives you a second chance to try something again, you do it no ifs ands or buts, just do it! Also, maybe you messed up in the pass and want to change it, we'll you will never be able to change the pass. You have to live with your mistakes but maybe if you get an opportunity to do good, you know you must try and be the very best you could ever be! This is what I think this quote means.
ReplyDeleteMoving on, this quote "failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently" relates to me several ways but the main one I can think of has to do with school and test taking! Now I am not every good at taking test and the only way I can get better is if I study and pay attention all the time. The one time I had to take test in math, I failed that test terribly. But my teacher new I understood what I had to do, so she let me retake the test with a couple other kids who also failed terribly the next day. Now that night I studied my little heart out and gave it my all and aced that test. Therefore always try to better the second time around you won't always get it on your first try if you don't work hard enough!
Henry Ford once said "Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently." This quote means that if you fail once you can look back at that failure but when you do it the second time you can go farther because you wont make that mistake again. This quote happened all the time to everyone in games. This quote relates to my life a lot. Whenever i'm playing a game and i mess up, i can go farther the next time and not make the same mistake i made the first time. This also relates because if you are playing a sport say hockey for example and you are practicing shooting, if you take a shot you can try again but try to fix your mistake. This is how people improve with sports or activity.
ReplyDeleteHenry Ford once said failure is the oppertunity to begin again this time more intelligently. This qoute to me means that your going to fail at things you try but you have to learn from your mistakes so you don;t fail again. If you don't learn from your mistakes your just going to make the same mistake over and over again until you learn from it. For example Henry Ford was a famous car maker. I'm pretty sure he made mistakes but he learned from them and fixed them so he wouldn't do it again. This qoute can relate to another qoute practice makes perfect. If you don't try then you will never succeed. Like for example with football I didnt know how to tackle properly so I had to practice and make it better. All you have to do is try and if you fail you just have to keep trying until you correct it. Just try and if you keep trying you will get better.

ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you. Especially with the part about sports. The only way to get better in sports is to try and then build off of it. If you fail one thing more than anything else its good because then you know exactly what you need to work on.
DeleteHenry Ford once said "Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently." I think this quote means that if you fail at something you can do it again in most cases. And the second time you will know not to make that same mistake. It could go on and on but that means you are learning of your mistake. Something that prove this quote wrong and in the army. If you screw up there your life could no longer exist or it might even affect your teammates lives as well. An example in my life is hockey. When I make a mistake ( which everyone does) i try to fix it and I learn from that experience. If I make a penalty I learn not to do that act again or I repeatedly make the same error and cost the team and my self a suspension. Another thing this could relate to would be in the NFL. Now obviously i don't play in the NFL but when the Miami Dolphins lose a game (which will be rare this season) I don't just give up all hope in them i just hope that they will improve their game and keep trying harder to succeed. The NHL is another example very similar the NFL example but I root for the Toronto Maple Leafs. All in all the quote, “Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently, by Henry Ford can relate to many things but can be proven wrong at something's.
ReplyDeleteTo me, this quote means that if you fail, you have the opportunity to try again. Say you fail your math test, and you know how you got the problems wrong. When you retake the test (if you can), you would do better because you know what you did wrong and you fixed your mistakes. Or, if you mess up in a sport, you can always try to get it right the next time. I bet this relates to your life, just like it relates to mine. Last year, I had a science test I didn’t do so well on, but I was allowed to retake it the next day. Over the night, I studied for it so I would know the answers. When I got my grade on the retake, I had gotten higher than I did the first time. Also, when I went for basketball in ’08, I tried my best to do the best I could. I failed many times, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t get back up and try again. Again, the quote by Henry ford, “Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently” means that even if you do something wrong the first time, doesn’t mean you should throw your hands up and quit, but try harder to succeed the next try. That is what that quote means to me and how it relates to my life.
ReplyDeleteShawn, I totally agree to what you are saying. I like how you compare this quote with a math test. Math tests are always one of the most complicating tests in our academic career. So you have to take a lot of time and effort to pass them. To close up, I totally agree with your response
Delete"Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently." To me this quote means that even if you fail, you'll be better off for your next attempt. Basically, when you fail, you should build off of it and try again because consistency leads to improvement. If you fail then you know better for the next time and you can succeed. This can be useful for many different aspects in life. In sports if you lose to someone and you learn how they play, you're way better off for the next time you face that person because you'll be prepared for their tendencies of how they play. An example from my life is losing to a state champion last year at the county tournament. Now i know his technique so if I ever have to go against him again I'll be prepared. Another example is messing up in football. Everyone does it sometimes, but when I mess up I try again, and do better because i know better the second time around. This quote holds personal relevance to me because whenever i mess something up i try to fix it instead of letting it put me down.
ReplyDeleteHenry Ford once said " failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently." I think thee quote means too stay in school and not fail in life. This is very inspirational too many people. This is really important because if you fail miserable in school you wont be able to succeed farther in life. For an example if you fail your senior year in high school college is going to tough for you with the grades that you got. That means that you won't make it far in life with that one fail you had. This quote actually relates to my life a lot, it can relate to anything but only one thing stuck out to me. That's gymnastics, when you fail or do something wrong in gymnastics you should get back up and try it again. If you don't than you will be afraid to do again, and you will never get over your fear and it will take a lot of time to try and get over it. So if you fail and you do it again and keep doing it, it will be better in the end. All in all the quote, “Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently, by Henry Ford can relate to many things but can be proven wrong at something's.
ReplyDeleteBre, I agree what everything you wrote! You gave real good examples and really explained the quote fully. I can realate it a lot of what you have said and think you did a real good job with this quote! Good job !
Deletebreanna i also agree withy what you wrote you gave personal examples and gave good detail to what the qoute really means to you.
Deletei also like how you said that Henry Ford can be proven wrong also which is true and that you shouldnt be afraid to do try again if you fail.
DeleteHenry Ford once said "Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently." I think that this quote means that whenever you fail there is always time to get back up & fight 10x harder.. Every bad & good thing that happens to you in life you learn from!! If you can fail and get back up and try your hardest once more and succeed , you gain alot of self-respect & it makes you a better person in the long run.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to this quote a lot because i've deffintely made mistakes but i always learn from them & know what to do the next time. For example if fail a test/quiz i always try to figure out my mistakes and i learn from them so the next test i can do things right.. Even the best people fall down sometimes and all you can reallly do is learn from it and it will make you a much better person in the end...
