What Would You Attempt if You Knew You Could Not Fail?

4/21/2016

I have been so proud of each and everyone of you over the past two weeks. As a class, you are truly kind, caring, and compassionate. You work hard in class and stay focussed. What I was most proud of this week was the amazing social activist fair that you all participated in thanks to Ms. Bottosso! It was so great seeing you showing how much you care about others. Also these past few weeks, a ton of you wrote the math contest, have been working to find gaps in your own learning and have been working to be the best people you can be!
This week for your blog post, I want you to think to yourself, what would you try if you could not fail? What would you try that was different, what would you be, how much further could you go if you knew that you couldn’t fail? Is fear of failure or rejection stopping you from accomplishing something you’ve always wanted to do? Shoot for the stars and this week, tell us,
“What would you try if you knew you couldn’t fail?”

There are a lot of things that I'm afraid of especially rollercoasters. But sometimes we need to step out of our comfort zone and try something new. I'm not an adventurous person but I do know who are. Anyways here is the actual assignment...

If I knew that I couldn't fail I would try to build an organization that helps children and people all around the world with clothes,food,shoes,Water and many other thing. The organization would be called "Help the world". If I ever tried to do something like that I would know I would fail from the beginning because I wouldn't have a strategy to help those in need.

After doing the passion project in Social Studies I found out that even the smallest kids can make a BIG difference in the world. It's ok if it start's small but eventually it will grow big. If you think that you're dream is impossible than you're wrong because it is possible. Even if you think that what you are going to do is small it doesn't really matter because you're doing something that you love and you're doing something that is helping at least a couple people. Those are just some of the things that I learned from our passion project.

That's not the only thing I would also love to be a bunch of other thing like a head surgeon like my aunt. I'm still only 11 years old and I want to become a head surgeon but who knows maybe as I grow older and move into University my dreams may change and may want to become something else.

That's just one thing I want to try. I wanted to do it because I had so much fun doing our passion project and I want try something bigger. I really like doing blog posts where we get to be more creative and sometimes think ahead into the future so that we can look back and say oh that's what we wanted to do. Anyway's creating a company to help people out would be really cool. I had so much fun doing this!

If I knew I couldn't fail I would try skydiving. Failing at skydiving could result in death. This would be a major consequence, but if I knew I couldn't fail I would want to try it.

Everyone struggles with trying new, scary things. If I knew I could succeed in anything without failing. I would feel much more confident that I can be amazing. If I could try anything I would tryout for more sports teams, and do my absolute best in gym class.

I would do this because I am kind of a failure at sports, but if I could build up the confidence to tryout for more sportsteams that I like, I would be very proud of myself, even if I get cut in the first round of tryouts.

That is one thing, I would love to try if I wouldn't fail. And maybe I will try it, I still might fail, but even if I get 1,000 certificates of participation, I will still be happy that I could bring myself to try.

If I knew I couldn't fail I would try to be a furniture designer, I would design some furniture that looks like in the future also can make your life easier.
I want to do this because I like to design staff, I designed a lot of my Lego car in to planes, digger, Jeep ...... . . .

If I couldn't fail at anything, I would try skydiving. I know I would regret doing that because you never know where you're going to land or how you're going to land. If you do it, you would have to be brave to jump 12,000 feet or more in the air which is pretty terrifying to me. Maybe when I get over my fear, I could probably try it one day be happy!!!

If I knew I could not fail at anything I would want to try anything that crosses my path. For example I would try out for all the sports teams, ride the biggest roller coasters and hey who knows I might even get a pet bird. Because if you know me you know I am really really afraid of birds. But if I knew I could not fail, maybe my fears would just go away. This is what I would do if I could not fail.

I believe if I could not fail I would try everything!!!
I would submit my entry for every game show and hopefully win
a lot. I may also do all those crazy stunts that are on you tube. Although there are more than a millions of hundreds of different things I could try, the first I would try would be getting a job of an archaeologist no matter my age because I could not fail, there would be some steps to achieve that goal but I would succeed everyone of them.

If I couldn't fail I would become a successful interior designer with my own business that pays well and also have other people work for me. I would want to do this because it is my dream job and I like colour and designing rooms. My fear of making this my job in the future is that there is a lot of competition and there are many other people that are trying to get to the top of this business. I would want people to know my work and recognize my name as being a top designer!

This is what I would do if I couldn't fail!

The one thing that I know I am bad at is straight up telling them what I might have done. Sometimes when I hurt myself really badly I would probably lie and say everything is okay. Or if I did something that I’m really ashamed of I would make up excuses. To me excuses is the key to run away from problems, but after you run away from a problem, but after you run away from problems, you’ll gain more problems in life. But I bet I would blame things on my sister at my home. Because that’s what I usually do.
If I couldn’t fail, I would definitely want to be better at saying better excuses or just learn to take responsibility if I broke something important. (Until it is convenient to blame someone)

If I could not fail the FIRST thing I would do is get lottery tickets until i win 10 000 dollars. Then I would get my pilots license. After that I would learn how to fly a war plane and then FINALLY I would fly my great grandfathers plane. I will do that anyways but being able to succeed at everything will fasten the process. I chose do this because this is my life goal.

Failing is basically fear to everyone. Everyone is pulled back by doing something because they think they will fail. So if you just think for a moment that you can never fail, what would you try first? Here are what I would do if I couldn't fail...

First I would join the golf tour and participate in any golf tournament because that is my dream and if I couldn't fail it would be a dream come true. When I play in golf tournaments I get super nervous because I think I will fail and embarrass myself. So having the opportunity to not fail would let me join the LPGA tour even if I'm only 11.

I would also try those crazy flips in gymnastics because I really want to know how to do them. The thing is I'm really scared to try because I think I will fall on my face. But if I could never fail I would do them all the time.

Then I would also try on every sports team at the school because I know I wouldn't get cut at the tryouts. Some times when I don't tryout for teams is because I don't want to get cut, but when I know I can't fail I will try everything!

Failing sometimes is for the better because it tells you to keep practicing to get better and that mistakes help you learn how to be better. If your scared for something it's probably because you think you are going to fail!

Failure creates fear in almost everybody except somebody like the Crocodile hunter The Crocodile hunter basically has no fear

If I knew I couldn't fail, I would try a range of things from sleeping with Timmy (Evan's giant creepy dog plushie), to skydiving, but the best thing I want to do is try the Leviathan, the scariest ride in Canada's Wonderland.

That is what I would do if I knew I could not fail.

What would I do If I knew a can’t not fail.
Be me
School
Soccer

This is a story that I made about this three things.

Ring ring ringggggggggggg my alarm for school went off I shot right out of bed and went down stairs had my favorite cereal LUCKY CHARMS went upstairs showered and sing about my life.
♪♪♪ “Ohhhh I have an awesome life I love singing in the shower because I want to show off my wonderful singing skills” ♪♪♪ (while down stairs what is the awful noise).

When I was done showering I went to go brush my teeth and I sang the abc Song two times. Down time to change then off to school I pick any shirt and any pants and any socks. When I was changed I still had 1 hour left till school so I played games till it was time for school and I won everything and people called me a hacker but a said “I never fail”.

Off to school.

Texting on the way to school

“Aidan I saw you and minecraft.

Me “who are you”?

“I am right behind you”.

Out of nowhere came a soccer ball that almost hit me in the head I took four steps back did some sick skills and passed the ball to the person that kicked it at him. It was the person that kidnapped me run as fast as he could put the kidnaper was faster and tackled me to the ground. Then came The Bach group that had Hider Bach and Frederick they tackled the person to the ground and chased him away. Me and Bach came with a awesome plan to get the bad guy TELL THE TEACHER. So after they told the teacher the kidnapper was in jail and aidan was in a math quiz and guessed all the answers and the teacher said “good job”.

And there was the quiz and I did the same thing for everything and got them all right.

After school I played soccer with my friends and won very easily

I am afraid of lots of things like heights,sharks and so very strong RKO ing me who isn't. but if there is something I can do without failing is cliff jumping I know you are saying why cliff jumping it is easy. Will it has to of my biggest fears in sharks and heights.

If I can't fail in cliff jumping and then I got out of comfort zone I might not be afraid of heights and sharks then I can go on a glass floor and go on the leviathan at Canada's wonder land then I can do anything and that is the power of not failing. Maybe I can go skydiving

JUST KIDDING!!

I could fail at many things and one thing I fail at is ballet, I do ballet lessons and our teacher gave us a a month off, she said our homework was practicing spinning on your tippie toes.

I still practice but afraid I am gone lose balance and fall down,
If I knew I couldn't fail I would be dancing like a angel.
It is very complicated to do the spin but I bet other people could do it better than me. If I knew I couldn't fail at ballet I would be dancing so much better.

It would be very scary to fail but I do not like to call it "fail" I like to call it not "completely achieving". It would be awesome if I could not fail, I could do anything I wanted to do and not fail. That would be so cool.

Now I am going to tell you three things I would do If I could not fail.

Here they are!

First I would go skydiving, I have always wanted to skydive but I am scared of my parachute not working and I am to young to go skydiving. That is the first thing I would do.

The second thing I would do is enter a 50 50 draw at a sell out hockey game and win all the money. Then I would give most to charity and the rest to buy random stuff. That is the second thing I would do.

The third thing I would do is ask the Montreal Canadians president to play on the Montreal Canadians and then I could play in the NHL. That would be awesome. That is the third thing I would do.

In conclusion it would be great to not fail so I could do anything I wanted to.

That's my blog post.

Their are a lot of things that I would try and do If I couldn't fail, but only some of them would require what I already have to do. The list is long so I will tell you guys a few of them.

1:The first thing that I would do is Interrupt a professional soccer game and give a speech without anyone getting mad at me. I don't know why I want to do this but I think that it would probably go viral on YouTube and that would be an easy way to get my message across to the world.

2: I would try and fall asleep within a few minutes. This is probably not as extreme as the first thing that i would do, but I can never find a way to fall asleep without staying awake for at least a few hours. If I do fall asleep quickly, than I will end up waking up really slowly. As you guys might know, that isn't very helpful on a school day.

3: This one is a bit odd for a grade 6, but I would try and go find $100 on the ground. This would probably not ever happen to anyone (Unless your rich and dropped money)
but I would still want to try and do it. If you could never fail than you could still never succeed either. But I think that if you want $100 that badly, that you could find it. Except for the fact that you would be broke by the time you do find it.

4: I would find a dinosaur. If I could do that without failing, I would kidnapped. Or rich. Either one is fine. A lot of people try their whole life's to find dinosaurs and never do. I mean, they could at least be doing something else that's not quite as dumb.
(They could be finding $100 bills)
If you could find dinosaurs than you can just as easily mess up all of america. (Like Donald trump)

Well, it was fun telling you guys about things that I will never end up doing in my whole life, And If I ever try to do one of those things, than it might not turn out so well. Unless I got super powers or something.

It would be really fun If I could do anything I wanted without failing and I would try anything well mostly anything. if I could do anything without failing I would be a lot more adventurous and would try so much more things that I wouldn't do now because i'm not the most adventurous person. Unfortunately that isn't the way that life is because once or twice you have to fail or not succeed. Their are a couple things that I would do if I could never fail and here they are.

The first thing I would do if I could never fail is I would start my own multi-billion dollar business an it isn't all because the money but I just added the billion dollar because then I could buy anything but it isn't all because of the money because I would just want to own my own business because it would be fun having to work really hard to get your money and it would also be really fun just having my own company. But a lot of times when people want to start their own company it doesn't always go so well and they would have to shut their business down but if I could never fail my company would be a 100 % success and I would live a happy life. Even the people who own the biggest company's in the world work their hardest to make sure that their business is the best it can be.

2. The second thing that I would do if I couldn't fail is I would build a time machine out of paper and tape. I would do this because I have always wanted to time travel but I have always that it is never going to happen and even if you try do make one you will never succeed. But if I couldn't fail I would successfully be able to time travel and actually see historic events in person. But also I would time travel to show people that in 1990 in basketball you don't need to wear short shorts because in all the old pictures that I see of the NBA and people playing basketball they are always wearing short shorts and short shorts are disgusting.

3. The third thing that I would d if I could never fail is go up to a lamp and call a genie. It might look a little weird but if I could never fail a genie could just pop right out of the lamp and if you have seen any movies that have a genie in it you know that a genie grants you three wishes and these would be my three wishes

1. My first wish would be that no one in the world was a bad guy and I am not saying to kill the bad guys I am saying that they will turn good and will live happy peaceful lifes. Because if nobody was a bad guy the world would be a happier place.

2. My second wish would be that I could have every single super power and I could turn them each one on and off in my brain. Well not just superpowers I could have magic to and if I was fighting some one I could just turn them into a pig.

3. My third wish would be that I could have unlimited wishes because genies can grant anything so I would wish to have unlimited wishes so I could even wish for the littlest thing like " I wish for a sandwich"

4. The third thing I would do is I would convince Donald trump not to run for president. I would do this because Donald trump has no Idea what he is doing and if i could fail I wouldn't convince him because he would just say " what are you talking about kid everybody loves me" but if I couldn't fail he would say " I guess I would be a bad president. Then he would quit running and then everybody in the whole world would throw a party because something like that deserves a huge celebration.

I would love to never fail but unfortunately that isn't the way that it is because sometimes even if you try the hardest you could try you might not succeed but that isn't the end of the world well unless your fail at stopping the end of the world but anyway if you don't succeed just try harder next time.

What would I do if I couldn't fail.? I would like to learn to play the guitar because making music on the guitar sounds perfect to me. I've never played a musical instrument outside of music class in school. I find that music makes people happy and making music would make me feel good too. Music is a way of communicating to people through song and dance and hearing people cheer for me would make me feel spectacular. I've never tried this before because I always thought I'd be humiliated or made fun of. But now I feel like I can go out and have a chance to play.

It has been very, very fun working on the social activist projects and participating in the math contest, and some parts of it went well and some parts didn't but I can't change the things that didn't come out well I wish I could but you can't change what has already happened, so for this weeks blog post the question we need to answer is "what would you try if you couldn't fail" well, what I would try if I could not fail is things I am definitely self-concious about but I still have wanted to experience it so here are the things I would try if I could not fail..

1. The first thing I would try if I could not fail is I would try some roller-coaster, I am definitely self-concious about roller-coasters because I am absolutely TERRIFIED of them and sometimes I have an opportunity to go on a roller-coaster but I have to turn down the offer because I am scared, but the crazy thing is I don't know what part I am afraid. So I would love for me to be able to go on a roller-coaster and it would be great to not scream my head off.

2. The second thing I would do if I could not fail is go on a game show like family feud or price is right because I have always wanted to be on a game show because I think it would be really fun to even be on the game show and then WIN the game and win some money would be amazing or win some prizes would be awesome.

3. I would turn the environmental problems in the world so there would be no more global warming, changing climate, destruction of animal habitat, oceans turning to rivers and rivers turning into oceans. This would be amazing because it would give the world a second chance of not destroying what the world have gave for us fun fact: us being is godly lox zone is a 1 in a billion, trillion, trillion. So if I do this without falling then all the species that went extinct would come back, and all the trees that got cut down would grow back and the world would have a second chance of not messing it up.

4. The last thing I would do is have my own pet pig, if you could do anything you want and not fail why not do something you have wanted to do you're whole life, and the thing I have wanted to do is have my own pet pig so why not ask for it and have my wish change to reality it would be awesome because pigs are awesome and if you don't think pigs are awesome I think you might have a concussion a you need to go see a doctor.

That's what I would do if I could not fail, what would you do?

Failing is something nobody likes to experience. Sometimes when you really want to try something, part of you really wants to do it and the other part just tells you to back off becuase you are going to fail. When you fail it help you become a stronger person,It lets you have more confidence in your self! We learn from failure,not from success. Anyways if I knew I couldn't Fail at anything I would....

Try to make the world a better place: I can't do it by myself,everyone has to help. This is everyone's world,that means we all have to take care of it! The first thing I would do is to make sure I recycle and never liter, Voulenteer at a charity and reduce waste! If we all help we could really make the world a Better place!
