I think this means that nobodys perfect. If your doing something you might have to constently keep on trying untill you get it right.So if you trying somtheingnew you might fail acouple of times but who cares.For example when itried to learnhow to ride my bike I kept on falling off and I failed plenty of times , but never gave up .I didn't learn how to ride my bike untill I was 6 years old and I never gave up.

I think the quote means that failure is not an option. You can always make succees. When you cant figure out something them if you keep on sticking on it then you might succeed. You always dont want to fail all your life but you do want to suceed sometimes too. If you keep on staying on it then you can suceed in life.
I think this quote means that if you want to achive a goal, you are not just going to get it the first time you try. No one is perfect and we all make mistakes. Its going to take you at least more than 2 tries to achive it. It might take you months. This is because when you try something you will fail. It is human nature. Failing sometimes makes you change the way you try it. Then you know that way dosen't work so you try a new way. We all pass failure on the way to success.

I think that this quote means that you should always keep trying until you finally get it. That's what perseverance is. The lightbulb wasn't invented in a day.
Nor month. You need to go through every step of your project. That's how your future will play out. If you persevere your life will end with more goals met. If you don't, then you're future will end with some dreams not lived. It is kind of a trial and error. Try what you think is right. If it doesn't work then try again, but change what needs to be changed and try it again.
This quote, to me means, that giving up is not the right way to go. When I kept trying to understand fractions, it sounded like German to me. "What's a denominator?" My brain thought to myself. So I asked my parents for a private lesson to work on what I needed help on. And eventually I understood it like I understand how to spell cat. So always remember, that to win at your goals, don't be surprised if you have an epic fail to start with.
When Micky Rooney wrote this quote I think he ment in order to suceed you have to try and try again.It's like the time I was learning how to do up and down division.I tryed countles amounts of time.I got so frustrated.But with help from my teacher.I found sucsess. Natalie#21 12-6-11

The quote means to me that you will get nowhere without mistakes.For example,when I tried to make friends without being mean .I still seemed to be mean and all i said was that someone spelled something wrong.Anything can be mean because people take words in diffrent ways.
It means that you are going to fail on the way to sussed in life. Book wrighters make mistakes like not spelling wright. One time I went to baceball I could not hit the ball, Or cath the ball. The ball hit me in the head and then the throght. But i got back up. And did it agean and evently got it. And I started geting it. Then I started diving for it.:derrick
What I think what it means that you don't successed at first time. But when you work your best effort you can successed. For example I have a new guitar for Christmas. I really don't know how to play it yet. So my Dad got m an instructer how to play a guitar,and he taught me how to play but I wasn't doing it right! It made me a little upset.Then my instructr said "just put a little effort to it." I was glad and had self confidence. I'd try really hard. I never give up.Than we we met again and I did a great job. That was worth the effort to practice. Don't ever give up.

Gabriel Miller # 16 I think that it might mean that you may face some failare. Like when you have a test or at your work like you get a bad grade on a test or you get fired from your job by your boss or someting like that. but you can make it better,studding,making or getting a new job at a new place like At&t. But lets go back to what the heck does this mean. It might mean that your not perfect and nether am I and nether that guy over there or that lady over there. No one in the hole world not even God! Ok mabie I went a little to far there. But still you will face some failure. So now you know or you might but you may alretty knew oh well see you later you guy and Miss Mizzou.
Whar Mickey Rooney means is never give up.Sure you pass by hardtimes.But no one is perfect.like the time when I did the map test.I thought I was going to get a bad grade.Anyway It was my first time doing the map test.But I ended up having a good grade.But here is my ppint try your hardest and never give up.By Yusuf
I think he means that in order to succed then you need to make a mistake.For example "409",the cleaning spray,took 409 times to make succesfully.Often people will say, "you learn from your mistakes"and there right,you have to know what you did wrong in order to know what you did right.Whenever you here someone say,"I'll never get this done,I've made to many mistakes"tell them about this quote.Pretend your on a train of progress ,your destination is success,and there is only one track to get there.On your way to success,you notice your passing a town called failure.Any other person going to success they have to pass the town called failure.-Joseph #3
I think it means no one succseds at every thing on their first try.You miss your goal on the way to a bigger goal.Not every thing goes your way.For example if you try basketball for the first time you will not make your first shot.Before you succsed you will need to fail to get better.

Jacob:I think it means that if you want to do somthing perfect you fail a lot of times while your doing it. But once you get what you you were working for and you have made it perfect, but failed a lot. It has happened to me a countless amount of times during soccer. I have tried the maradona so many times but failed, but now I can do it perfectly. This is what I think it means, you fail on your way to succses.

I think the quote means to always do your best and never give up. Always go for success never failure. Everybody want success but no one wants to fail. And thats why we should never stop doing our best and always finish work on time. We need to try and get an A as our grade instead of of an F.
I think this means that you get something wrong the first time you can get it next time and that NOBODY'S perfect.When I was learning how to play football I failed a few times but I got back up and worked my best and then I got it right which I was proud of.I think everyone should be proud of their selfs and do what they do best be yourself and NEVER give up.

This quote means that when you try something new the first time you dont get it right.But when I rode my bike I kept on falling and I wanted to give up but when my dad told me that to not give up because some time or day I'll get it right.So never give up because when you get it you'll start doing fun and new things.Try your best and dont let the refraserateing get to you.Never let things get you mad bcause you can do it only if you trust and dont say I CANT DO IT because you can.No matter what you are the only one you can do it and you are the only one that could make it happen.Belive in your self.lesly#12
I think this quote is brilliant."You have to pass failure on the road to sucsess."is probably one of the best quotes I've ever heard.This quote means you should never give up.This is where the saying "try,try and try again"comes in.You should never give up because failure is not an option.you will always reach your goal if you try because "can't never could do anything."If you try you will sucseed. _Marla H.#13
I think the quote mean's you will make mistakes but still stay on track.Here's my exaple,I was trying to ride my bike.I would fall and fall and fall.Then Igot back on.If you set your mind on something do it.DON'T give up WHEN IT'S HARD!Life is not a strat line.It's bump's and bruoses.Live with bumps and brouses orels life is boring.KENNA.SNIPES#24
It is true that you have to pass failure on your way to success. For example, I am failing right now to think of a good example of when I failed or succeeded in my life. So, I tried again to think of a way to write my blog post. Then I came up with this way to talk about success and failure. I will be glad when I am finished writing this blog. Even though I failed many times writing this, now I have succeeded. I know that Mr. Rooney is right; you do have to pass failure on your way to success.

Nick M: This quote means that when you're on the road to success you don't always get it the first time. Sometimes it takes several times to get it. You just have to be patient, and not give up. For example, I had to keep on trying on my multiplication facts in third grade. It took me about 15 times on a lot of them to get them done, but I didn't give up and I didn't fail. So, don't give up when you're almost there and don't give up the first time.
I think this puote means that you always have to fale before you success.My frist time I had fale, was when I was at home and I had to do the dishes. They was food all over the plates. Then when I got done, with the dishes I had told my dad there was sicky stuff on the plates. Then I started to wash the dishes. Then I told my dad that I was done with the dishes, but therwe was still food on it.Then I had to do the dishes intrill there was on food on them. Then I had to wash them one more time, and I had told my dad I was done with the dishes, and when he had check thay was all done right. That is what that meansthat faliure comes before you success.

Xavier: If you play a game and you lose, it's okay if you liked playing the game. You need to keep practicing so you can will all the time. When we played baseball and we lost the game. I was kinda mad but we had fun playing. I kept on trying and did not stop. We ended up winning one game. Keep practicing and keep trying.
You do pass failue on the way to sucess.You pass failue because you have to keep trying because you will always mess up.I passed failue on the way to sucess in my drawings because I mess up and I have to try again.I also pass failue on the way to sucess in my writing because I have to write it and then if it is not good I have to try again.It is okay to pass failue on the way to sucess.
