Have you ever failed?

Of course, everyone has failed some time in our lives. The key to success is to fall several times.
We all learn through our mistakes.
Connected to what you are researching about your heroes, do you know anyone famous who failed in achieving his goals?
This video shows you some few examples.

Dear Miss Ale,
this video and the other hero video you showed us are very similar. They are both very good.
In the hero I got (Louis Leloir) i havn't found any errors YET. There is still a lot of research to do.

Hello Miss Ale
I am one of those except that YET I didn´t did something that big for humanity but for myself I did. I had learnt that it isn´t the problem when you fall if not if you can´t stand up and continue.

This video showed many important peole, who are very famous. Some of them appeared in the heroe video we had seen last time. (wich I loved)

THERE IS SOMETHING I GOT FROM THIS VIDEO WHO REALLY TOUCHED ME........

Life= Risk
In life there are many risks and that makes it so intresting. To progress you need to run many risks, sometimes life is like a long road, but then it reaches to a place were there many passages and you dont know wich one would be the correct one.

I falied tones of times, even noe I am failing because to achive my goal I have to pass through many obstacles, I had to stood up when I fall and belive me is not easy.

No one can never fail.

I know all the humans mentioned except for Lucille Ball who had been dissmissed in a drama school.

I knew:

Tomas Edison who they said he asked to many questions and that he was stupid. (at school)

The Beatles who had said they´re guitar didnt sound good and it was way out and turned down.

Fired from a newspaper, Walt Disney. Who won 32 Oscars.

Michel Jordan who didn´t entered the basketball team in high school but he became a winner. I am shure he worked very hard for it.

Abraham who then became a VERY well known person.

I will remark a phrase I liked alot from the last video: ORDINARY PEOPLE DOING EXTRAORDINAY THINGS, plus this one LIFE=RISK.

If they could why we can´t???

Hello Miss Ale
I have failed a lot of times but its okay because when I fail I learn what I should have done. These heroes failed in the past and maybe they werent considered important but know they have learnt from their errors and they are very important people in the world wich made big changes in a good way.

Hello!
I've found your site through the links on the Blogging Challenge site. You have a great blog!
I also loved this video. Isn't it amazing how people who have done great things all had to persevere through failure? It's an important lesson for all of us.

Hi Miss Ale
Great Post !!!!!
This video is very true it has great facts and plus when I saw it I thought that we are all humans and humans make mistakes some of their mistakes are nothing but some mistakes are big ones.

With this video you can prove that we all can make mistakes because no one is perfect.

When I was little I thought that teachers could not make mistakes but when I grew older I even started to point out mistakes to my teachers.
One of the quotes of the video is LIFE=RISK

Hello Mrs Ale!
I liked the video and I had no idea that Edison's teacher called him stupid after he invented he doesn't seem stupid. I know someone that failed but he isn't a hero he is a celebrity. Lionel Messi was rejected from River PLate whe he was young because he had growthement problems and later he kept on trying and Barcelona bought him. Rowling also failed when she wanted to public her Harry Potter book but seh could late publish it. Amelia Earheart also failed when she wanted to croos the Pacific Ocean. William Walace wanted to free Scotland and they killed him before he could do it and there are lots of other people who failed but the reallity is that we can't liv life withour falling sometime because we learn from making mistakes and nobody is perfect.

HELLO MISS ALE:
WOW!!
I DIDN`T KNOW THET MANY HEROES DIDN`T BUT THEN COULD ACHIVE THEIR GOALS.
I THINK THIS VIDEO IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE: YOU LEARN THAT MANY OF FAMOUS PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN REMEMBERED HAVE NOT MADE A GOOD THING AT FIRST BUT THEY TRIED AND TRIED AND LOOK WERE THEY ARE TODAY MANY FAMOUS PEOPLE ARE DEAD THAT IS NOT WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY THEY ARE REMEMBERED BY A VERY IMPORTANT THING THEY DID IN THE COMMUNITY OR IN THE WORLD, JAJA THAT IS THE THING I DID FOR THE HEROE DOCS WE HAVE BEEN DOING.

WELL THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT YOU LEARN THAT MANY PEOPLE MADE THEIR GOALS BUT AFTER THEY WERE REJECTED BY SOME OTHER PEOPLE THAT PERHAPS THEY DONT NOW THAT THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE DEAD OR NOT HAVE TURNED TO BE FAMOUS AND NOT ONLY THAT VERY GRATEFUL BY LOTS OF EXCELLENT THING THEY DID IN THE COMMUNITY OR ON THE WORLD.

I HOPE YOU LIKED MY COMMENT
SEE YOU TOMORROW
HAVE A VERY NICE VACATION
BYE BYE
LOTS OF KISSES

HELLO MISS ALE AGAIN:
WELL THIS COMMENT APART OF WHAT I SAID IN THE OTHER COMMENT, IS THAT THE PHRASE: LIFE = RISK IS LIKE A SING OF SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE IT TELLS YOU IN THOSE TWO LITTLE WORDS A LOT OF THINGS, IT`S LIKE A LOT OF IMPORTANT CHARACTER TRAITS IN THOSE TWO WORDS. WHAT I AM WRITING SOWND VERY CURSI BUT IT ID THE TRUTH.

LITTLE WORDS CAN MEAN A LOT OF WORDS AN WITH LOTS OF SIGNIFICANT THINGS IN LIFE THAT CAN HELPE MABY.

JAJA I AM VERY CURSI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WELL THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THET I LOVED THE VIDEO AND THAT THOSE TWO WORDS GOT TO MY HEART AND STAIED IN THERE, I WILL TRY TO USE THOSE LITTLE WORDS THAT ARE NOW IN MY HEART TO BE A BETTER FRIEND AND GET MORE FRIENDS.

I HOPE YOU LIKED MY COMMENT
BYE BYE
SEE YOU TOMORROW

Hi Miss Ale!
i liked a lot the video! It transmits you a message. It was very well made! I didn't kno that the people from the video have failed in what now or some time later than when they failed they became profecional or good in that thing. As humans we all have to fail and it is good because we all learn from our mistakes. How it says at the end of the video "life=risk". If you don't risk you can't live. Every thing we do (humans) has a risk.
I really liked this post!
I am loving the videos you put in the blog about heroes!

Hello Miss Ale
I agree with the main idea of the video.
We all learn from our mistakes and failures and that is what takes us to success. It is imposble live a life without errors. As the video says if you never failed you never lived and life is = to risk.

Hi Miss Ale,

Its amazing how often people fail. We sometimes forget that people who have been preserved in time as heroes are indeed, only human, meaning that they too have their moments where things don't go to plan. I have failed an uncountable number of times in my life, most of the time simply because I hadn't been paying attention.

Hello Miss Ale,
I don't understand how could this people end up being so talented and had been criticised. I think its true that everybody fails, but there is nothing to worry about.

I didn't know that very fameous people could failed in something very important to them. Like when michael jordan was left out of the basketball team and then he became the best player in world.

Hi Miss Ale: This video really surprised me because people like Michael Jordan fired from the school basquetball team turned into the best player of the world, the beatles turned into one of the most populars bands ever been.
This makes me think in how many more people had suffered this type of discrimination and later became the best on their habilitties.

Hello Miss Ale,
I think the video is right because if you dont put yourself in risk and you dont make mistakes sometimes you dont learn what life is about.
