Authors Note: The following piece is a district writing
assessment that is analyzing a quote and how it can be used and applied in different
circumstances.
“Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing
the game”. Although Babe Ruth’s inspiring words are in terms of baseball, this
quote can also apply to other topics such as school, other sports, or even
activities such as singing and dancing. This quote said by Babe Ruth is one of
the most inspiring quotes of all because it can be used in many different
circumstances.
To start, every professional dancer or singer has faced
challenges that got him or her to the professional state they’re currently at,
but each one of them has faced a challenge and failed. If they didn’t have the
courage and were too afraid to face those challenges, they would have never
made it to the professional league.
Second of all, although school might be just the opposite of
sports, this quote certainly applies to this circumstance as well. Some subjects in school aren’t always the
easiest for everyone, and if you’re learning a unit that’s very difficult that
you don’t understand as hard as you try, don’t be afraid that you’re going to
get the worst grade possible on the chapter test because the thought that you
will fail will make you only do worse.
Lastly, not only does this quote specifically apply to the
sport of baseball, but it can relate to almost any sport. Even though soccer is
a team sport, there are times where you have to take risks and try to score to
benefit your team to win. Although it’s frustrating when the ball doesn’t
always go in the net, but it’s better to at least try than to not try at all.
In conclusion, this
quote is inspiring in so many different ways and can be used in many different
circumstances as well. “Never let the fear of striking out keep you from
playing the game” states that it’s important to never let the fear of failure
stop you, and if you fail, pick yourself up and try again.
