“Obviously it’s better to succeed than to flop, and in general a long education is for helpful than a short one… I only mean that failure isn’t bad in itself, or success automatically good”

i feel like it’s important because bring successful isn’t always someone’s path, even tho people tend to say that someone who graduated college would be more successful than someone who dropped out of college, some people who do graduate with a degree still end up homeless or in bad situations. i think the decision you make and you input to society are more important because again someone who lack’s education could be greater than someone fully educated.

One thing that stood out to me was the first sentence of the third paragraph stating “To hold this opinion, however, is little short of treason in America.” The reason that this stood out to me is because I agree completely. I believe that in the world we live in it’s my way or the highway, meaning if it isn’t the textbook standard American dream then you don’t need to dream of it.

"Success and failure are again becoming individual visions, as they were when the country was younger, not rigid catagories"
I think this is good because it shows that peoples ideas change and that its not just all one big conglomerate of sucessand failure and that there is a difference like there use to bo back in the day

“We only apply being a dropout to people under twenty-one. Yet an adult who spends his days and nights watching mindless TV programs is more of a dropout than an 18 year old who quits college, with its frequently mindless courses, to become, say, a VISTA volunteer.” I chose this cause it’s very a true statement about the world and defining a failure nowadays.

“A boy or girl who leaves college is branded a failure — and the right to fail is one of the few freedoms that this country does not grant its citizens.” - Paragraph 3

People can’t follow the their own path in search of success and fail. Because in case of failure. They will be judged and criticized by the people around them.
