Sam ple Essay

It is often said that it is impossible to succeed the first time you do something, and that the most

successful people in life have many failures behind them.

The majority of people are more determined and motivated to attain their goals after they have

suffered a setback. For example, Albert Einstein struggled and failed several times in his life but

he kept working hard to overcome obstacles and he was eventually successful.

Moreover, people usually improve and become more successful when they gain experience. In

football, for instance, it takes many years of dedication to obtain the skills necessary to become a

top player.

On the other hand, people who have become famous overnight normally find it difficult to deal

with the constant public attention. These celebrities sometimes behave recklessly, take drugs or

drink too much to escape the pressures of being famous and successful.

In conclusion, it is possible to have success without failure, but in my opinion, it may be better to

fail first as you will handle and appreciate your success better if you had had to work hard for it.
