What Would You Try if You Could NOT Fail?

5/23/2018

I have been so proud of your efforts over the past few weeks, you are showcasing a growth mindset in class. As a class, you are truly kind, caring, and compassionate. You work hard in class and stay focussed. I have been incredibly proud of the dedication and effort that you put into the robots, the excitement and engagement I’ve seen as you take on difficult math problems, as well as your efforts for your breakout rooms last week! Thanks so much for being so great. As we think about inspiration, iteration and ideas of pushing ourselves forwards let’s continue that idea 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?”

If I was able to try something without failing, I would do tons of gymnastic moves that are really hard and cool. I would do that because I have always wanted to do one, but I knew I would probably hurt myself badly trying to do it. It also looks so cool and would be so fun. I would also want to try doing flips and tricks on a gymnastics bar because it is probably really fun swinging around on the bar. That is what I would try if I knew I couldn't fail.

I would simply try everything because why not?I mean if you knew you wouldn’t fail then what is the point in life. And mistakes make you smarter so would that mean that I am not very Bright.

I somehow feel like Mr.Steltman is testing us, I truly feel Mr.Steltman is wanting to see if we actually would be inspirational and just telling us to love ourselves and go for something! But you see what I think is what I think is true and here is where my first would come in. I wish I could say something without being criticized about it. Like right now, at least one of you are thinking *theres no time for this and it doesn't make sense*, or if you tell a joke and everyone then goes silent and stupidly stares at you, well I'm not really saying it directly to me, after all my jokes are pretty good. What I would also like to see what would happen is not studying for an upcoming test or quiz, I would want to just know how it would go. But I really wouldn't want to try doing it just because the title is:
What would you try if you knew you couldn't FAIL.
Now you see it says fail not a B or C or D, so maybe I wouldn't try it.
And here my skydiving comes back.
I definitely know that I wouldn't fail it or in other words DIE but I really want to try it anyways, it just looks so fun😍
Right? Jumping out of an airplane looks so much fun!
Hopefully I don't have to wish upon the stars to do something I knew I could not fail at, so hope fully I'll try. But don't worry the skydiving is at the top of my list, so I won't be missing out.

I would do anything to help the world in any way I feel like the world can do way more and we can bring to a hole new level and if I could not fail I would help other people with lack of starvation and hydration and even more I would do what ever I could do! But I would also do anything for more than just humans including plants, animals and much more.

Dear Classmates and Mr.Steltman,

I have so many things that I would like to share to you! Ok, let me think of one (or maybe 2 if they are very appropriate)
Ok I think that the one (or 2) that I am going to do is....

1. I am going to try my hardest to get a full on scholarship at Ryerson University and then get a degree an go to teachers collage, I would do this because I want to be successful when I grow up and this is how I am going to get to be a teacher. This is one thing that i wouldn't give up on, even if I didn't have an opportunity to reach this goal without failing, I still wouldn't give up. Especially if that means being a good, successful and well organized person. I also want my children to have an inspired, liveful, educated life.
I want my kids / kid to be the best that they can be and if that means doing this then I am ready to do this.
I know that I will probably say to myself once it is the day to try out for Ryerson University "I give up!" So I will either keep trying or note to myself that I tried and did the best I could do. I think, scratch that; I know that I will make it as long as I have the support of my family!

P.S. I also want to be really good at horse back riding!
Sincerely,
Juliet😀

What would I try if I could not fail, that's a great question and here's my answer in steps:
1. Win the lottery 100 times or more, I'm already a millionaire.
2. Buy parts to make the most impressive invention ever
3. Build Hover Boards, Flying Cars and The biggest tower in the world taller than the Azerbaijan tower, Kingdom tower and the Burj Khalifa
4. Win tons of world records
5. If were not talking about being the richest person on Earth I would acomplish my dream and try out for movie auditions in LA.
Having that ability would be the greatest superpower in the world and we could do anything.

Dear everyone..
If I could not fail, then I would want to invent something. I would invent something that would hopefully change world and everything else! Would it hurt if I tried now? No! I will invent something like a cure for diseases. That would change people's lives and the world. On a less serious note, I like to invent fun toys - like my fidget spinner. I took apart my fidget cube and glued the pieces onto my spinner. I enjoy playing with it.

If I could try something without failing I would get a dog! I always ask my parents if we can get a dog and they say
"LATER"
Though now we are looking for breeders and it might be soon, I would love to get a dog soooooo much that I would do anything to get one! I would walk it every day and feed it and pet it and have SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun with it!!!! I hope I can get a dog anytime soon! 🐶🐕🐩❤️
