Nate Dutch Assginment 8

Fears-wasting my life, failing
Annoyances-arrogant people, childish people, people who care to much what others think, people who eat gluten free for absolutely no reason, Michigan fans
Accomplishments-schoolwork, standardized testing
Confusions-why do people do the things that they do?
Sorrows-seeing people waste their lives doing nothing, seeing people be selfish
Dreams-leave Lexington, move to the West coast, be a positive influence on others
Idiosyncrasies-making weird noises at my dogs to see how they react, excessive hand washing
Risks-stupid betting on random things
Beloved possessions, now and then-My stuffed animal dog named Cutie(then), my 2 real dogs Penny and Scout(now)
Problems-being sensitive to others feelings

I'll go in depth about my fears. The difference between the two I wrote down is simple, one of them is something which I wish to avoid and the other is something I need to face and embrace. I need to fail. Everyone needs to fail. If you aren't failing you probably aren't successful in avoiding the first fear I listed. To really live your life you need to take chances, risks. But the reason it's called "taking a chance" is because there is a chance; a chance of failure. No one likes to fail. True failure hurts, it makes you want to lay down and give up on life sometimes. But it's necessary, because if you never have failed than you never have taken a chance, never have seen what you're capable of. Just like you can never truly be happy until you've been sad, you can never truly be successful until you've failed. But true success, the kind you've failed over and over for, that you've given everything for, is one of the most fulfilling experiences in existence. So to wrap up I'll give you the cliche MJ quote, but this time actually listen to it, "I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed."
