Failure my friend.

 We have all failed at something in our life. We have always tried something new, and failed at it many times, haven’t we? But despite these setbacks how many times have you picked your self up and tried again? When I was learning to solve the four by four Rubik’s cube I really challenging but I kept on trying and was soon able to solve it. In the process of learning I felt like giving it up but kept working on it.


All the people we admire have also faced failure and obstacles. But they achieved greatness because they did not give up, they got back up and learned from their mistakes.

 It is said Thomas Edison failed 1000 times before inventing the prototype of the light bulb. When he was asked “how does it feel to fail a thousand times?”. He replied “I didn’t fail a thousand times. The light bulb was an invention with 1000 steps”. Imagine how todays world would be like if Edison would have just given up. But it wasn’t just Edison who faced problems. 

The author of famous book series, Harry Potter did go through similar situation. JK.Rowling was rejected by 12 publishers before Harry Potter became a huge success. My most favorite book series would not have existed if Rowling would have succumbed to failure. 


One of the worlds richest men has faced setbacks. Elon Musk has faced many obstacles and has still managed to succeed. Everyone expected Tesla to fail. SpaceX's first three launches failed. The first because of a fire and the other two did not reach orbit. Despite this Elon tried again. Today SpaceX is a huge success.

              These are some very well-known figures but there are others. Mansukhbhai Prajapati from Gujrat, India, invented a fridge made of clay. This took him a lot of trial and error to finally be able to create it. Today Mansukh’s company, Mitticool is very successful.


 I am sure that when you were learning to ride a bike you fell. But didn’t you get up and try again?. So we must all work to  achieve our goals in life no matter how big or small they are and not be afraid of failure. Because sooner or later we will succeed.

Prisons. Do they work?

 In school we were given an assignment to write an essay on what our views on prisons, and I thought it would be nice to share it with the world and receive feedback on the topic. Here are my views on the subject. Let me know your views in the comments sections below. I partially agree with prisons because while prisons may  protect society from dangerous criminals it may also develop hatred within the criminal towards the society. Statistics show that the more offenders are in prison the lesser the crime. Furthermore prisons contain the offenders and make sure that they deter criminals from committing crimes. They also assure society justice has been done by the law and that the  criminals do not have to take matters into their own hands. Prisons also make sure the law is respected by everyone and everyone knows what happens if they break the law. However, as much as prisons are good to punish criminals there are also  factors that go against them. Data from 2019-20...
