Topic: Explain and discuss the following saying, using relevant examples and evidence to support your argument.
“The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one” - Elbert Hubbard
“Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric” - Bertrand Russel
------------------------------------
Task:
The world today is changing faster than ever before and everyone involved in it certainly has to move faster and faster to adapt and survive. We are now living in the golden time of an industry and technology society, our prospering world is, thus, seeking for new things to meet the increasing demand of an increasing global population. Inventions and discoveries are one of the primary motivations for development, which has seen a lot of success as well as failure, happiness as well as pain, joy as well as tears. Impartially, the development we’ve made belongs not only to those successful but also to the ones never knowing the taste of success. In other words, there would be no success without the ones who dare to fail. Elbert Hubbard, an US author, is quoted as saying that “The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one”. Another great thinker, Bertrand Russel, also praises the bravery to think differently and face challenges in his renowned saying “Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric”. These put us, citizens of a booming society, under the choice of safety and faintness or challenge and success, hence, this issue is really worth to think of carefully and seriously.
Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life. No one grows without making any mistake. We the ordinary people always fear to make faults but never realizing that whenever fearing of failure, we are losers. You intend to set up a new business, entering a brand new field no one has ever thought of, but finally cancel for fear that you’ve made a mistake and might go bankrupt. If you keep that way of thinking, you’ll never be able to start anything. Bill Gates, the world’s richest man, founder of the world-wide famous Microsoft, wouldn’t have become today’s Gates if he thought the same as people at his time that school dropping was a huge mistake. Had it not been for his right decision made at the right time, we wouldn’t have had the internet and the technology based economy we see and benefit today. His determination to overcome fears not only gives him richness and success but also serves us, people at and after his time, a better life.
If the first one to discover how to make fire scared of making mistake, for at his time he was considered an evildoer who had dealt with a demon mankind dreaded, we wouldn’t have had fire to keep us warm, cook our food or light our caves. He had lifted darkness off the earth, with no fear of being burned by the flame he made, being isolated by his brothers never thinking of anything new.
If Adam hadn’t made the mistake of eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge, we the mankind wouldn’t be here today, we wouldn’t have known how miraculous love is. Even if you make a mistake, your success may be out of imagination. Mistakes, obviously, show us what need improving. Without mistakes, how would we know what we had to work on?
We are always unaware of what we have until we’ve lost it. Mistakes are also lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed, but the future is yet in your power. When you make a mistake, do not look back at it too long, just stand up, take the reason of the thing into your mind and look forward. Every time you make a mistake, you are one step up in the ladder of getting to success.
Many people at the top of the success ladder today have seen hardship in life when they were considered eccentric. This has always been big challenge to those full of creativity but lack of bravery. Through out centuries there were men down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision. Through out history we all see that every great thought was opposed, every great new invention was denounced. The first motor was considered foolish. The airplane was considered impossible. The power loom was considered vicious. Anesthesia was considered sinful. But the men of unborrowed vision and strong belief went ahead. They fought, they suffered and they paid. But they won.
Einstein, father of Relativity Theory, which is completely accepted and applied today was once considered eccentric or even crazy. Prometheus was chained to a rock and torn by vultures because he had stolen the fire of Gods. The first man to invent the wheel was considered a transgressor who ventured into forbidden territory, but his invention enabled men thereafter travel past any horizon. He once stood alone against the men of his time, but it was he that opened the roads of the world. He was once condemned, but it is him that all of us today must feel fully grateful to.
Had it not been for men with strong belief, we wouldn’t have the world we have today. They were those who dared to lead, dared to be the first, dared to fail. Since man acts and deals with other men, there is always the kind of social system that makes it impossible for brave men to exist and to function. Everything we inherit today, from the simplest necessity to the highest religious abstraction, from the wheel to the skyscraper comes from the reasoning mind of those men.
We all have our own vision, what makes the difference is that losers are easy to give up but winners aren’t. It is not in the nature of man nor of any living entity to start out by giving up, it is a process of corruption whose rapidity differs from man to man that every life means. Some give up at the first touch of pressure, some sell out; some run down by imperceptible degrees and lose their fire, never knowing when or how they lost it. Yet a few hold on and move on, knowing that fire is not to be betrayed, learning how to give it shape, purpose and reality. It is those few that move the world and give life its meaning. These men, the unsubmissive and first, stand in the opening chapter of every legend mankind has recorded about its beginning. They are keen to go ahead because they foresee the light at the end of their road.
Men have been taught that it is a virtue to agree with others. But the creator is the man who disagrees. Men have been taught that it is a virtue to swim in the current. But the creator is the man who goes against the current. Men have been taught that it is a virtue to stand together. But the creator is the man who stands alone. Hence, the creator – the man who creates the world, is always considered eccentric. But eventually he always proves to be true whatsoever.
Thousands of failures stand behind a success. You can’t excel if you never dare to fail. In a world when resources are scarcer and scarcer, thinking differently and entering new fields are inevitable trends. If there were no one daring to lead, think and act, nothing new would be discovered or accessed. “I’ve grown certain that the root of all fears is that we’ve been forced to deny who we are,” says Frances Moore Lappe, journalist. Self-confidence and self-belief are the very first factors we need to succeed in life.
