  1. 1)This quote says that failure is not fatal.Also that failure to change might be.
    2)This means don't be afraid to do mistakes, because you will learn from them.Also don't be afraid to change.Because change is what people need.You have got to change to be successful.
    3)The video and the quote are similar because they both talk about change.How people have to change to be successful.They are also similar because they both talk about making mistakes.It is good to make mistakes because you learn from those mistakes.They are both different because the video talks about not giving up too.And the quote doesn't even talk about not giving up.
    4) I can apply this to my life because I need to change.I have to stop being lazy.I have to stop hanging out with the wrong people.I have to change the way I am.I have do my homework.And I have to motivate myself to work hard.
    I also have to motivate myself to work harder than I have ever worked in my life.I want to become a soccer player when I grow up.So I have to work hard to become a soccer player.I have to have have the right attitude.And I have to do what i got to do.

  2. 1) This quote says that failure isn’t fatal until you fail at changing.
    2) This quote means that if you fail at something you don’t lose everything unless you fail at changing your bad habits or way of seeing things. When you fail to change is when it is fatal.
    4) The quote and the video are similar because they both talk about change and to change makes you better. They are different because in the video it talks about how you have to work and grind through the process of getting somewhere. Also that a real beast wants to go through the process and get their prize in the end.
    5) This matters to me because when I work hard I will grind and enjoy the process to being successful. This will help me understand and not be weak and go through bad moments. When I need to be inspired to do my best grinding and that I should enjoy the process of being successful. I will watch these videos and use them to push myself more. I will think about the positivity of becoming successful and working not to fail to change.
    This will help me in my life to understand that failing to change will affect my life and my chances of becoming successful. I will use the quote to help me understand that I have to be able to change in order for my failures to not be a total failure. I will use the video to help me change the parts and bad habits that I want to change. This video is important because it shows me how changing is difficult when you actually start from the bottom and becoming successful.

  3. 1) This says that failure isn't the end of it. The failure to change it can possibly be the end of it.


    2) It means that failing isn't the end of the goal you're trying to achieve. Not trying at all is. Not willing to change yourself for the better is failing.

    4) The video and quote have differences and similarities. How are they different? The quote specifically speaks on how failing to change yourself is failure. The video speaks on how it takes process and patient to get to where you want to be. How are they alike? Both the video and quote talks about failing to not change and not working hard to do it.

    5) This matters because it can motivate others to do better. To set standards for themselves to get use to making mistakes and failing. Not everything is gonna be perfect. To not let failure define themselves. Shoot and do something better than before. To not brag about things you want and actually do it to get there.

    I can apply it to my life to make my life better by showing actual change in my appearance and action. To not let failure change my eager in a negative way but positive. Set goals and thrive to get it. That it's ok to have mistakes but it's better to change it to do it better, instead of quitting.

  4. 1. This quote is saying failure is not acceptable and for failure to change it is acceptable.
    2. This means that when you think your too good for things you don't work hard. This also means that if you practice you will be just fine.
    3. Watched the video
    4. The video and quote are similar because they both are talking about failure. They both are saying people like to get success the easy way but you can't because its real life. They are different because the video is talking about being a beast at what you do. The quote is talking about not letting failure keep coming your way.
    5. This matters because people should not let failure keep coming their way. Some people don't believe in themselves so they keep failing. Also if you keep trying eventually your going to get it. If you don't have faith your never going to succeed. That's Why the video matters.
    I can apply it to my life because when I fail sometimes I allow it to keep happening. I shouldn't even let myself fail. I have belief in myself. When its time to practice I'm not quite ready yet all the time. I can make it better by practicing everyday because practice makes perfect. That's how I can make it better.

  5. 1)What this means is that if you want to change it might be hard to do. This also means if you fail you're not going to die from it.

    2)This states that you should have changed a long time ago because you are going to struggle on changing now. Lastly this also states that you shouldn't let failure bring you down because you can come back better.

    4)The video and quote are similar because the video shows examples of how to be successful. The quote is similar because you don't have to quit just because you lost. So they are similar because they both show not to give up. But they are different because the video has loads of examples of why you shouldn't stop grinding. Lastly the quote only show that if you lose you want to change your career.

    5)The video matters because it shows even if you made it to college you have to continue grinding. And it also states that you have to be smart about what you do in college. The quote states that you shouldn't let failure get to you. And it also states that you should change before it's too late. Lastly the quote and video are important because they show how to get out of struggle.

    5)You can apply the video to your life by using some of these examples to get through college. You can also apply this to your life by not giving up after a loss. You can apply the quote by change your career before you get to college. What this is trying to say is that you should change your career before you get to college because it will be much harder in college. An example of this is wanting to be an athlete but in college you give up on that and want to be a teacher.

  8. 1) Failing is not a disaster, but to never get up will be.

    2) It's not bad to be a fail. To never get up might be. To make mistakes is fine but you have to learn from them and get back up.

    4) The video and quote are both similar by they both talk about you will fail on somethings but you still have to get up. You have to know that it is part of the process to fail but to get back up. You can not quit because of failing.

    5) This matters because you have to know that when you are failing you have to get back up because if you are not failing you are not learning. You learn from your mistakes. Failing is part of the process to achieve what you want. To not get back up isn't part of the process because that means that you are being a quitter.

    I can apply this to my life by I will understand that I will have to fail in order to get to the a step closer of achieving my goal. The quote and video both help me know that it is fine to fail but to never get back up isn't. Throughout my journey of achieving my goal I will have road blocks and stuff that will wan to make me quit. But I have to overcome that and learn from them, but still continuing on my journey to success and learning from the things that tried to bring me down.

  10. 1. I had translated this quote as if you fail, fail knowing you tried your best. If you don't change something about you failing that's not okay.

    2. Failing and failing o change are two different things. Failing is apart of life you're not always gonna get what you want and how you want. Failing to change however if you're fault that's something you can change that's something that you can do without failing.

    3. The quote and video are both similar because, they're both pushing you towards striving to change. The video had more impact on me however, It wasn't just words it was someone who knows the struggle, who's been through it all. Changing needs work and effort and that's where the effort comes in. Nothing will ever come easy to you. Work for it.

    4. This matters because people always say they want change but won't do anything to get to that change. Peoples actions don't match their words. They constantly quit after something gets too hard. I can apply this to two ways in my life. One way i keep letting failure get in my way or obstacles get in my way. The other way is I can apply this to soccer. I can push myself so much harder but I always say it's too hard or its too much work.
    I always see people give up when their on their 3rd lap. Pushing yourself you could perhaps make it to 7 laps. Its not about you being tired it's about your mentality of you thinking you're tired. Theirs always people that wanna score and those who wanna work for scoring. It's fun scoring but its even more fun working for it.

  12. 1. The quote means failure is not the same of fatal because if you have you had an accident and failure is when you fail on something.

    2.This means you cant be a failure on things you wanna do in school sports or in life.

    4. To me the video is better and way different from the quote because you have to grind for education or the things you want in life because people came from the grind and started from the bottom. This is where you make it permanent. you dont have to be the smarties to make it to the things you want

    5. I can apply this to my life to get a better education and get a better life and get the things i want in life. And if i wanna be a beast I got grind hard and study for school to get them good grades and if I get beat by somebody he has to be better then me and not to get beat my self and take my self to a better place. The worst thing is to not go back to the hood just work hard in life

  13. 1. Failing at tasks can be recovered from. On the other hand the failure to change yourself may be fatal as you may keep failing.

    2. Failing at something can be used to learn. Learning that something can change future outcomes and reduce the rate of failure. The failure to use the gained knowledge will result in a higher rate of failure becoming fatal.

    3. (Watched Video)

    4. Some similarities between the video and the quote are that they support change. More specifically the change from failure. They support this by giving references on how failure may not be fatal but the failure to change from mistakes can be absolutely fatal. A difference they may have is that they may have is the presentation of their similar ideas. An example would be the format they used to express their idea as John Wood used a quote format while Eric Thomas used a live speech approach.

    5. This can matter in a few ways. One of these ways could be the emphasis on changing and evolving from what we were before. This is important as it gives incentive to not give up but to change something that may be affecting your success. An example of this would be that you may or could be lazy which possibly is the reason you're failing. If you were to change your lazy aspect you may be able to succeed.

    I can apply this to my life to make it much better by doing something like changing my lazy aspect or self into a much more productive aspect. This can be done through a manner of self punishment which will drive the habit out of me. This works as habits form from a reward factor that builds up. For example, if you were to be rewarded for missing homework every time you will form a habit of not doing homework. So physiologically, I can fix or evolve myself for rewarding myself when doing something productive while punishing myself for the act the non-production.

  14. 1. This quote says failure isn't a fatal until your failure changing your life.

    2. This quotes means to me that if you fail on something you DON'T lose. Cause your failure can change your thing. When you fail, DON'T be embarrassed but otherwise try to make it better again and again until it is accomplish.

    3. Watch the video.

    4. The video and the quote are similar because they both talk about changing. Somebody changed their life to be successful. Also, you have to make mistakes. Mistakes give you a good task. It helps you know more than you are and what is right and what is wrong.They are different because the video told us to not giving up your dream and the quote doesn't.

    5. This will matter to whose never want to change even they are bad. They MUST have to change to be successful. If you change you can see how it is completely different. Changing also as same as mistakes, it can let you know what you have to do.
    And how can I apply this is push myself into a situation that I must change and can see how it is different. I have to change my failure to make it better as much as I can. Then find where is my mistakes and learn from it to make a good life.

  15. 1) This quote says failure isn't a fatal until failure is going to change your life.

  16. 1.It is saying that if you are a failure you got time to change that and make your self a successful person.You don't got to process the good things in life.If you ain't a intelligance person it doesn't matter all that matters is that you got to be successful and grind.

    2.This means that you cant give up so fast and you quit it doesn't work like that.you got to effort your self and do the right things for you because at the end of pain its only success.If you want to be a champion you got to effort your self and do the right things to make your self a great person and a champion.

    4.The video and the quote are both similar because they are both saying that after all that pain you got to force yourself to do the right things and be successful.Change you behavior and you will be someone in life.They are differ in some ways because the quote says that failure can be change but only if you get the chance to do that.

    5.This matters because it is giving you advice and its is also telling you to not be a failure.Keep on trying even though things are you got to keep on going.Make your dream come true as a reality.

  17. 1. This says that the failure to adapt and change to any given situation would prove fatal, depending on the situation literally and or figuratively. Failure in an action or objective cannot be fatal, unless it is a very important action regarding life. But that is not the point of the quote, the quote is about change and its paramount occupancy.
    2. This means that whenever something or someone fails to change as a necessity, will be met and/or mete with their dues accordingly. This will happen all the while those who have changed and adapted, flourish in a plethora of astonishing things. Change is unavoidable, and if what you do does not work anymore then change your ways.
    4. The quote focuses on change, while the video focuses on the work put into an an objective. There are no similarities that I can and if there are, than there nuanced. In the video Eric explains how to change one's habits to become successful and to explain the process of accomplishment. The quote explains one aspect of being successful but nothing else really.
    5. This matters because it helps identify the process of accomplishment and betterment. I can apply the lessons of Eric and Wooden to my advantage to earn a degree, I will be able to know what it takes to be great in my school career.

  18. 1. This is saying that if you fail its ok. You can get yourself back up and you should not give up on what you want to accomplish.

    2. This means that when you want to change and be something els you need to try because failure to change is unacceptable. The quote is also saying that when you don't change your not doing good if you try once. You need to try multiple times because one times not enough.

    3. Be phenomenal or be forgotten. They are similar because they both talk about how you shouldn't give up. You need to strive to achieve and not let one little struggle drop you.

    4. This matters because you can't just fail on everything thats hard for you. Failure is not the key, success is. If you don't try you might not reach your goals. You might not be a good happy person. When its time to practice your beast mode lowers than if before.

    I can apply this to my life for collage. Collage will be hard, i know it will but i can't give up to easy. I need to keep trying and have the nerve to say not to the voice in my head that tells me to stop. I want to be successful in life and graduate from collage and in order to do that i need to work hard. If i fail the first time i need to get back up and try again.

  19. 1. This quote is saying that failure is not bad. It also say that not changing is failure.
    2. I believe this means that failure is not bad if you always try your best for everything. It also means that if you don't change your way of thinking and acting, you will fail. So technically what the quote is saying is that we should always do our best for everything and never fail anything.
    3. Did that.
    4. The video and the quote are similar because they both talk about never giving up and always trying to hardest for everything. In the video ET talked about practice makes permanent and not perfect. ET means that is is that if you practice something over and over it will not only make it perfect but I will make it stay and it will make it permanent. The quote and thevideo different because the quote talked more about failing and if you don't change you fail. On the other hand, the video talked more about practicing things to make them better.
    5. This matters and I can apply to my life to make it better so I can always think things before I do them. I will always try my best to do things better and better each time so eventually I can do it right and make it permanent. The quote matters and I can apply to my life to make it better because I know that if I don't change my way of being and my way of thinking my results will always be the same. I always get the same results I will never get anywhere in life and I will always stay at the same level. This is why the quote says that not changing is failure.

    I can apply the concepts of the video in my life to make it better because I will always keep in mind that if I try my hardest I could complete things the way I want them to. I also know that if I don't succeed on the first time I need to try and try again so I can complete what I started.
