Keep on Trying

"A difficult challenge brings out the best of people." This quote means that when you are challenged to do something, you will do better. I agree with this quote. There are plenty of examples in real life that prove this quote true.

One inspiring athlete is Philip Humber. He was a top draft pick in the MLB and had ginormous expectations. However, he needed surgery and was never the same. Recently, though, Humber through a perfect game and proved how good he was. Humber faced a big challenge rose up and above what he was expected to do.

Another example is in the book //The Hunger Games//, which is one of my favorite books. In this book, Katniss Everdeen, the main character, is selected to participate in an event called the Hunger Games, in which teenagers, fight to the death. There were plenty of bigger and stronger kids, but when it all ended, Katniss won. This also shows how gigantic tasks inspire people to be better.

Life is like a road on a mountain. There might not be an obvious trail, and there are plenty of bumps on the road. But you must keep on trying. If you don't try, you will failure. It is better to go down fighting than to not even try.

Another example is Jesse Owens, one of the best runners ever. Before he became famous, Jesse faced the extraordinary task of qualifying for the Olympics. The task proved to be to hard for Jesse the first time, but he kept on trying. The next time he qualified. At that Olympics, he ended up winning the gold. Jesse Owens shows that a very hard tasks bring the best out of you, even if you tried already and failed.‍
