"Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.” By Robert F. Kennedy. This quote has a very powerful meaning to me as well as to others. There's been many occasions where I have encountered this quote and it always stands out to me.
To me this quote means that only those who aren't afraid to fail at something (no matter what it may be) will have a better chance to achieve their objective. To be more clear; if you are afraid to fail and you don't do something for that reason, you simply won't achieve anything! However, if you just do it; you'll accomplish much more than what you thought evens though you failed. (I don't know if that made sense). You could also become more dexterous about something you failed in if you keep practicing and trying.
I believe the reason for so many of us to be afraid of failure is due to being berated by others. Sometimes we're afraid to do something because we're scared of what others might think or say but in reality thats just a part of life. They will always talk, no matter if its about something exceptional or terrible you did. So, why be afraid of failure?
This quote can relate to my life because when I was younger, I would be afraid of failure. For example, when I was being taught how to ride a bike, I didn't didn't want to try it on my own due to not wanting to fail. But little did I know, that by failing I was also achieveing many things.
ANd failure helps us learn from our mistakes and want to improve...good post!
