Own goal

requires facing many obstacles that get in ones way of achieving their own goals. Everyone has their own unique problems that they have to overcome, which involves them putting in some work. Challenges are an important part of trying to achieve a goal; they help out on whether it is worth going for that goal or not. Overcoming obstacles such as fear, doubt from others or even self-doubting is an important part of being able to achieve a goal. The individual has to have a positive attitude towards what they want; anything can be done when having a positive attitude towards something. In Edgar Albert Guest’s poem, “It Couldn’t Be Done”, the author employs words and phrases that motivate people not to give up on their goals no matter what others have to say and to overcome challenges that get in their way of reaching their ultimate goal.

Despite the negativity others receive, there will always still be a chance to try it anyways, no one can tell anybody what they can or cannot do. That is why people should prove others wrong by trying because they will achieve what they want if they just…

Oedipus seems a more intensely tragic figure, especially when compared to Antigone, who is fully aware of what she is doing. Antigone knew that her actions would be considered…

Lear’s other flaws, arrogance and ignorance, also contribute to his misjudgments. His anger causes him to make rash decisions such as banishing his only two faithful servants. The king almost immediately gives his throne away when his youngest daughter, Cordelia, tells him how she truly feels toward him. In his anger, King Lear misjudges his daughter’s intentions and begins his own destruction. He does the same thing to his servant Kent. Unfortunately, King Lear figures this out a…

I decided to pay my respect to teachers, and always pay attention and never speak while others are talking. I am very sorry once again. There is nothing else I can say. I apologize deeply. My actions were wrong I should not have laughed at you, or at the other teachers. Once again there was no humor in what you had to say. The punishment you gave us is ridiculous. This essay is all right, but the suspension, is not the right thing to do. There are kids that vandalize school property and skip…

Gertrude and Ophelia’s Death in Hamlet The Queen gives a remarkably detailed account of Ophelia’s death leaving one to believe that she may have witnessed the event. We know that she emphasized with Ophelia’s suffering to such an extent that perhaps she realized that the kindest action to take would be to let Ophelia decide her own fate, although she clearly was not in a fit state of mind to do this and was barely aware of her surroundings “incapable of her own distress.” Ophelia’s…

Dreams can inspire you, but goals can change your life. Sometimes it only takes one step to change a dream into a goal. Yet, it can take years to take that goal to the finish line. I believe that everyone should have a goal in life, something to live up to; it is something you want to achieve in life, it is something that gives you motivation. Many people may have a goal in life to own their very own business. In the book ‘of Mice and Men’ George and Lennie’s dream to own a farm and have all…
