Best Advice
By: Ajok Majak
The best advice I have ever received was, ''No matter what you think of someone or how they may seem, you can learn something from everyone.'' In other words, instead of focusing on what you think of them, find out what you can learn from them. After hearing this advice, I had a different view when I meet new people. Upon meeting someone new, I always have an open mind. Instead of judging someone by how they look or how they may seem, you should be considerate because you never know what you can learn from that individual.
In the clip, ''The Fringe Benefits of Failure'' by J.K Rowling, Ms.Rowling explains the benefits of failure. Failure is not always a bad thing, it's the key to success. Failure is actually success if you learn from it. You shouldn't let it stop you. You learn more from failure than succeeding, it builds your character. Ms. Rowling has failed many times in life but it only made her stronger. Life is very difficult and complicated, failing is inevitable. It's not about how many times you fail that makes you a failure, it's about whether you give up after you fail. Failure should motivate you to be successful.
