In honor of Derek Jeter’s retirement, I would like you to reflect on the following quote and respond in no less than 200 words.
Jeter says a key to success is “that you’re not afraid to fail. I’m not afraid to fail. I’ve done it quite a bit.”
Do you feel this is a valuable statement and can be applied to anyone, not just a professional athlete? Explain how this can be applied to your everyday life by using specific examples.
I think this quote is a valuable statement and I would apply it to my life. This can be applied to my life because I do the same thing. Also I fail a lot of times too. I have failed tests, quizzes, classwork, etc. Also I am not afraid to fail but I do not want to fail. But if I fail I make it up if it was in school or I would just say oh well and I just go with it if I can not make it up.
ReplyDeleteWhen I fail I do not cry about it I try to get better. If I do not try I will fail and not improve in what I am not trying in. I want to improve in what I fail in and I need to get better if I fail. If I do not improve I do not have a point to do what I failed in. So that is why I would live by that statment
This quote is a valuable statement and it can be applied to anyone not just professional athletes. You can use this to get through any situation that you going through. You can't just quit you need to improve on what you failed on. When you do fail you get back up. Everyone fails at least one thing and even if it is just one thing you would always want to improve on it. If you go at it again then you will know what to do and hopefully what happened last time wont happen this time.
ReplyDeleteThis quote is a valuable statement . This statement can be applied to my life and anyone life not just a famous persons life. This quote can apply to me too . One reason why this quote can apply to me is because I have failed. One way I have failed is that when I was at one of my softball games I didn't play as well as I wanted to. In the moment that I was not playing I was beating my self up . But later that day I talked to my dad and he told me that It was okay to mess up and fail sometimes you just have to get your self right back up . And they next time u play u just put 100% more effort
ReplyDeleteI definetly agree and that's what I wrote about too. everyone fails at some times. Even Derek Jeter and Lebron james have made a mistake an its easier said then done but its true everyone fails at some point in time.
DeleteIn honor of Derek Jeters retirement his quote “key to success is “that you’re not afraid to fail. I’m not afraid to fail. I’ve done it quite a bit.” Is valuable because no ones perfect and everyone messes up at some point in there life . but in reality the first time you do something you never do it perfect . so it takes a little while to learn to understand it . Lebron James was dunking the ball at 5 years old. So it took him alittle while to make it to the NBA and to be who he his today but everyone fails at some point . and that’s ok as long as its not consistent and your making an effort. I’m 100% Derek Jeter wasn’t hitting home runs at 5 years old. It takes time to be good and great at what your doing . Even Albert Einstian asked questions but the difference is he put in the effort to perfect the makes an even expanded on it to make it better. I personally love softball ,am I good yea ,am I great heck no but I try and I try to fix my mistakes the next time .
ReplyDeleteI agree with how you gave examples of this quote how you make mistakes in soft ball but you went back and fixed it
DeleteKate I definitely agree with. Everyone always makes mistakes but as long as you don't make the same mistake over and over again that shows that you are trying and not giving up on your self great job Kate!!!!!
Deletei agree! i wrote the same topic.
DeleteWhat I think the quote that Derek jeeter gives you. Is that the quote means that you should fail to learn your mistakes and to do it again to not do the same mistake you did in the past. Derek failed a lot of time but made up for it hitting home runs. So that's what I think this amazing quit means to me and how it reflects off people
ReplyDeleteWhat Derek Jeter is saying is that if you quit you will never have success and if you do you will never achieve nothing in life. So, if you quit you better keep trying and trying until you finally achieve your goals. Derek Jeter never quit in his life but he failed so he kept trying till he succeeded. You have to fail in life in order to succeed. I personally i have failed but i never quit i stick what i do and i never give up. Also, I respect derek for his wise quote, his personality just because he a great man in general !
ReplyDeletein the quote stated above, Jeter says a key to success is “that you’re not afraid to fail. I’m not afraid to fail. I’ve done it quite a bit.” I think this means that you keep on trying until you get it right. You cant be afraid or mad if you fail or cant do something. You keep on trying until you succeed. Yes i think this is a valuable statement because it can help people succeed and achieve their dreams. Derek Jeter is a professional base ball player and people will look up to him and this quote.
