Trying Hard, and Never Giving Up


Trying new things is something I have always believed in. One simply cannot do anything new if he/she can does not attempt to try something new. Learning is all about trying new things and getting better. When someone tries and puts forth effort, it shows he/she, that learning is possible even if it does not go the way it should. All around, trying something new every once in a while really is a great trait to have, or a great thing to believe in.
             No one will learn new things without trying; it does not work that way at all. There is no purpose in it. I recall when I did not want to try a math a math problem because I did not understand it, and I never thought I would understand it either. My math teacher looked at me when she saw me sitting there in class, and said “One will never know without trying. That is what school is for.” I said, “Good point. I need help. May I get some help please?”  I received the help I needed.  My math teacher really did have a great point. If I never attempted to try, I would never know how to do that math problem. When I see that one tries hard at something and give up because he/she is frustrated, I tell them that story.
            Trying sometimes often comes with mistakes. Trying also shows that someone is putting effort into something. Sometimes the outcome may not be successful, but everyone still knows that he/she trying their best, and their goal will be met through hard work and dedication. Many of the philosophers and inventors that help shape the world we live in today have tried new things, and sometimes even made mistakes of their own. The only way their invention was a success was because he/she has gone back and analyzed what he/she have done so far and fixing what they did wrong. Asking for help also factors in to whatever the problem may happen to be. It is pretty much trial and error. That is as simple as it gets. Anyway, back to my point, without opening up and trying new things, it will be nearly impossible to achieve. It is just not going to happen if you are afraid to be tough and go for it. Just remember to be curious and try new things.

            Like I stated earlier, I believe in trying. Nothing new happens without trying new things. If one is in a dilemma where he/she cannot assess the problem and needs help, he/she is always in good company.
