HONORS - Food For Thought Response: "Failure Is An Option"

After reading the National Geographic article "Failure Is an Option," choose one of the following topics, and respond with a post on your own blog. Your post should be at least one well-developed paragraph in length. For both topics, your purpose is to explain the transition from failure to success.

Topic 1
Think of a time when you experienced failure. This experience does not have to involve school. How did you persist and adapt to learn from this failure? [REMEMBER: This will be posted on the internet, for anyone to see; think carefully before publishing!]

Topic 2
Quickly research one of the following individuals or products:

• Steven Spielberg
• Terry Fator
• Kurt Warner
• J.K. Rowling
• New Coke (Coca Cola product)
• Arch Deluxe (McDonalds product)

Explain how the individual experienced failure, or how/why the product failed. Then explain how the individual persisted to achieve success, or what the company did to learn from its failed product.

DUE: Next class meeting.
