Siddharta blogging assginment

During life it is important to make goals and stayed determined to them, so you can one day reach the goal that you have made.  In Siddhartha there is a great example of this when Siddhartha decides to leave the Samanas with Govinda because he isn't accomplishing what he wants.  Govinda said, "Siddhartha, you have learned more from the Samanas than I was aware.  It is very difficult to hypnotize an old Samana.  In truth if you had stayed there you would have soon learned to walk on water."  But Siddhartha responds by saying " I have no desire to walk on water." (page #24)  This shows that when pursuing a goal in life you sometimes make mistakes or get setbacks, and you must move on from them and try something else and hopefully that will help you reach your own goal.  The process of achieving a goal and receiving set backs  compares to my life because when I am in school I set goals for getting good grades in my classes.  I can set myself up for success by listening in class do work and studding hard, however, I do also experience set backs.  When I do bad on a test or project I experience a set back.  I must but it behind me and move on to the next thing and try to do extra good on that to get my grade back to where I want it.  These Examples show how when you are pursuing a goal it doesn't always work out and you must find a different path for success.
