Question 1 • Language Arts 8 - ELA3008 IC

Which excerpt from Last Lecture best supports the idea that the process of setting and pursuing goals can be rewarding?

Answer

No, I did not make it to the National Football League, but I probably got more from that dream and not accomplishing it than I got from any of the ones that I did accomplish.

Find the best in everybody. One of the things that Jon Snoddy as I said told me, is that you might have to wait a long time, sometimes years, but people will show you their good side.

Because what he said was, you obviously don’t know where the bar should be, and you’re only going to do them a disservice by putting it anywhere.

I was on the wait list. I called them up and they eventually decided that it was getting really annoying to have me call everyday so they let me in.

Explanation

The speaker says that pursuing the dream of playing in the National Football League taught him more than some goals he actually achieved. This shows that working toward a goal can be rewarding even when the goal is not reached, so excerpt A best supports the idea.
