It Couldn’t Be Done
Related Poem Content Details
Somebody said that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!
Somebody scoffed: “Oh, you’ll never do that;
At least no one ever has done it;”
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat
And the first thing we knew he’d begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure,
There are thousands to point out to you one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing
That “cannot be done,” and you’ll do it.

ReplyDelete1.) - This poem is saying that there will be many people to bring you down and tell you that you can’t do it, but you should ignore those people and tell yourself that you can do it. There will be many obstacles and it will be difficult, but you just have to pull through and move forward.
2.) - Based on my experience, this just means to not give up. No matter what. Don’t give up no matter how many people tell you that you can’t and no matter how many times you tell YOURSELF that you can’t. If you go down, you just have to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and keep moving forward.
3.) - ( VIDEO )
4.) - The video and the poem are very similar. They both talk about how you should refuse to give up on your goals and dreams. People will continuously tell you that you can’t do it. But you should ignore what they say and keep fighting. But the video and poem differ because the video talks about how failure can take you down too, not just what people say. And the poem says that you shouldn’t let what people say affect you.
5.) - This is very important in life. If you want that dream job or an ultimate dream goal, then you must fight and work for it. Like I said before, there will be MANY people that will tell you that you can’t do and you can’t achieve it. But you just have to ignore those people and focus on what YOU want. As long as you’re working hard and fighting for that goal or dream job, you will make it.
Also, people aren’t the only things that will stop you. Fear of failure is important too. Like what they said in the video, “One of the things that prevent us from acting is the fear of failure.” and it is true. The thought of failing or disappointing someone really affects us. But you just have to overcome that fear. Once you do, you can freely work for your dream.
You also shouldn’t wait. Time is crucial. Don’t wait for things to be perfect. Don’t wait for the perfect situation to happen. Just do it. Also like what the video said, “Don’t try to make everything in life logical. There are some things in life that defies logic.” You don’t need anyone’s approval for YOUR dream. It is yours and it was given to you. So you should work hard and fight for that dream. In the end, it will be worth it.

ReplyDelete1.) There is going to be a lot of people that are going to tell you, you can't do it. You would be able to do it and to not listen to others. A lot of people have failed and gave up.
ReplyDelete2.) This means to not listen to what people are telling you. Do what you want to do and do it.
4.) The quote and video are similar because they are both talking about how people are telling other people what to do. The difference is that the quote says there sometimes a lot of danger and how people did not do what they wanted because of what others been telling them. The video was talking about how we had to take responsibilities and how people can make it to their dreams.
5.) This matters because we want everyone to like us and we want everything to be right. It can be painful to take on life. Never satisfy yourself and keep asking yourself questions. Everything around us can't be perfect. You can't let others tell you what to do.
I can apply this to my life to make it better by concentrating on myself. Many people will leave the universe without a trace. Whatever you are seeking, it's seeking you too. Listen to that small voice in you and say yes to your dreams. You are going to get thrown to the ground a lot of times and keep on trying. You know what you are doing right now you are doing it right.
1. In my own words, the poem was about even if someone doubts you, it still can be done. Don't listen to the people who think you can't do it, listen to yourself.
ReplyDelete2. Based on my experience, this means that almost anything can be done if you try. For example, people didn't think i could make a half-court shot being small. But like the poem said, "He started to sing, as he tackled the thing that couldn't be done, and he did it."
3. Notes
4. The video and the quote are similar because, they both talk about doing something, even though you might fail. About doing something that has never been done. The video and the quote are different because the video goes on to say that you need to let your dreams become reality. For example in the video it said,"You got to say YES to your dreams." This means that you need to believe that your dreams will become true.
5. This matters because you need to realize almost anything can be done if try first. If everyone doubts you, then so be it. You need to learn from mistakes and things you did wrong. If you fail you can treat it as a learning opportunity. What did you do wrong, and what can you do to do it correctly next time?
You can apply this to your life to make it better by trying every single time. Don't think about failure. If you fail you can learn from it. With this mentality you can go on and accomplish many things. You can make your dreams real!! As long as you try, and you train, you can triumph.
The poem is talking about not giving up on what you want don't believe in failure because fear an failure is holding you from greatness and all the positive vibes you have under all that negative don't hid the fact that your very successful with things. Just overcome the acting of failure and hid the negative vibes you have even though it might be hard to do it.
ReplyDeleteWhat this poem meant to me based on my experience is that here are thousands to tell you it cannot be done but there are thousands to prophesy failure,there are thousands to point out to you one by one that the dangers will await to assail you.Just ignore all those people and prove them wrong cause i know i would be successful in life in general if i keep on taking the right path which is to believe in myself no matter what.
(I already took my notes of the movie I Will Win ON PAPER.)
The video an the quote are similar because there both talking about things that prevent us from acting with good vibes an how if you already failed your gonna fail again an this time your going to feel the pain which is disappointment because we didn't put in all our effort in seceding in life.Many of us act like we don't care about our education just to get people approval on saying oh yeah that person is cool cause we don't need education an that person along with everyone else are not going to want to work on being successful cause they all think they got it all figure out but we know we don't.
This matters very much because it's guiding us on what path should we take in our life obviously most of us are going to take the hard working path while the other people want to take the easier path which we all know is failure.We all come up with different excuses just to not work hard to get what the really want.Most people feel like we don't need to do this why because they are in there confert zone they only do things they know how to do well but they need to know new things just to get well in life.So there many reasons why we don't act with effort is because we are not wanting to take personal responsibility we blame other people for our own actions in life and on our education.We all want someone else to do it and that's not possible and when we go through life like that something dies in us.We need to start asking yourself some serious questions which is do we really want in life?
1. Even though one might say no to something that you want to do, you shouldn't take their word. You've got to do it. Prove them wrong that you can do what everyone says that you can't.
ReplyDelete2. Based on my experience, this means that anything that someone says no to, you can. It does not matter what the opinions of other people might be. You just have to prove them wrong. You have unlimited potential.
3. The video and poem have its similarities and differences. They are similar because both talk about how you should not do something even though someone or a couple of people say that you can't. No one can approve your dreams. The poem and video are different because the video was more detailed about the whole topic of being a winner. The poem only talked proving people wrong when they say you can't do something. In the video though, it talked more about that fear of failure is preventing us from taking action.
4. The topic of being a winner matters in many ways. One reason why it matters is because you realize that anything can be done if you add effort and just try. Some people just want to be accepted by everyone and make up some excuse to make it alright. Other people just wait for things to be ideal and want other people to take care of responsibility.
The topic can be applied to our lives in many ways. One way it can be used is to go above people's expectations. Always be up for the challenge and always say that you can. Don't listen to what other people have to say about your actions. Just listen to yourself and do it.
Another way the topic can be applied to our lives is so you can make everything in life not logical. Not everything in life should be logical. Make sure you know that there is something out there that has your name on it. You have got to have determination to do so. In conclusion, the topic of being a winner matters is important to apply to your life in many ways. Just remember that you can.
The poem is talking about not giving up on what you want don't believe in failure because fear an failure is holding you from greatness and all the positive vibes you have under all that negative don't hid the fact that your very successful with things. Just overcome the acting of failure and hid the negative vibes you have even though it might be hard to do it.

1) In short, this quote is about not needing someone else's approval in order to achieve your dreams. Doing so will only expose you to those who doubt and disapprove of those dreams that you strive to achieve.
ReplyDelete2) Based upon my experience, this quote means to not let approval stop you from acting. Most people never act because they long for another's approval of that action. Even though you may want someone to support you in these types of things, there may not be someone to do so.
4) The quote and video are similar because the both discuss about disapproval affecting one's potential and motivation. Edgar Albert Guest's quote shows an example of how someone can achieve greatness despite there being a lack of support and approval. On the other hand, the quote and video differ because one shows more reasons than the other. The quote only says how you shouldn't let someone else's approval define your future decisions. The video elaborates on that topic but also explains more reasons on how it can affect your overall mentality.
5) This matters because it shows us how to not let the opinions of others affect us in succeeding. People always tend to look forward to appealing to another person. It naturally makes us feel better about ourselves and boosts our self-motivation. Knowing that someone else supports you in something only makes you want to accomplish something even more. However, when that approval is not there your self motivation only lowers and as a result you tend to not act in order to get the things you want in life.
I can apply this to my life by not relying on someone else's approval when I'm working on something. I have had people who don't believe in me and think that I am not capable. I should not let that prevent me from achieving my goals and living my dreams. Even if it at first may seem difficult, I should keep on fighting until I get what I want in life. No one has achieved success and impressive accomplishments without failure.
Those who have prevailed despite having major setbacks are people who grow and get better as a person. I should strive to be like that and apply it to my life. Things like what I want to be in the future and how I do academically applies to this. No one is capable of stopping me from achieving my dreams in life. I am the only person responsible for getting myself where I want to be.
1) The poem is saying that no matter how many people doubt you, still follow your dream. When people are saying that it can not be done, prove them wrong and do the thing they said can not be done.
ReplyDelete2) This quote means to prove all the people wrong that doubted you. To everyone saying, "you can't" prove to them that you can. There will always be that person or people that will always tell you that you are incapable of doing something. So take what they say you can't do, and prove them wrong by doing it.
4) The video and the quote are similar because they both talk about winning. In the video the man speaking says, "You will get thrown to the ground again and again, but when you have determination, it gives meaning and power to your life." In the quote by Edgar Albert Guest, he in says even though he was doubted by thousands, he still come out on top and do what they said couldn't be done. The video and the quote are different because in the quote, Edgar Albert Guest talks mainly about being doubted and still coming off on top. Although in the video, the man speaking talks about winning and the things that you need to do to be a winner.
5) The quote and the video matter because they teach you how to be a winner. They both let you know that you can’t listen to what other people say and let that stop you from accomplishing your dreams. You can not let the criticism of others stop you from being the person you want to become. The man in the video said, "You don't need anyone to approve your dream." All the negativity that other people are giving you, and all of the personal work and effort that you have not put forth can not stop you from being the person you. It can not stop you from accomplishing your life's greatest goals.
I can apply this to my life to make it better by not letting what other people say determine the way I accomplish my dreams. Nor can I let it affect the way that I view myself and my total outlook on me. I have to ignore what everyone is saying and accomplish my goal. I also have to look at the weight I am not pulling and pull it. Personally can’t expect for everything to line up perfectly. Like the main speaker in the video says, "Don't try to make everything logical, there are things in life that defy logic." I need to stop making excuses and stop listening to the criticism others are giving me and pull my weight and ignore them. I need to start saying, "Yes I can!"

1.To me the poem is saying to not let what other people tell you affect you in anyway. If you believe in yourself and say you CAN do it then you will, you can do what you but your mindset to. You have unlimited potential in you.
2. Based upon my experience, to me it means to not settle for less than what we actually deserve. what i mean by that is that we get what another person can have when we can have something else that we want for ourselves. When I have determination I'm not going to let anyone deny me because that is what I chose for myself, my dream, my goal.
3. -video-
4. The video and the quote are familiar in many ways but they do as well differ from each other. They are similar because they both talk about not letting other people tell you what you cant do. What they say about you or tell you doesn't define who you are. You are the only one that knows what you can and cant do. They differ because the video also talks about having a fear of failing and the pain that will bring you. Every mistake that happens in your life is a step closer to a successful future.
5. The message matters from both the video and the poem because you can apply them to your own life. You can apply them to your own life by saying YES to your dreams, yes to yourself, and yes you can. Never think of yourself in a negative way because that will not get you anywhere,your going to think your a failure in cause of your daily negativity. If you let other people get to you because they tell you, you cant do a certain thing that will bring your self confidence down. Not only will it bring your self confidence down but it will affect your life majorly because you will always think you are a failure and you wont take risk.
Once you decide what you really really want for your self you cant let anyone else tell you otherwise. Determination will help you succeed because once you have it, you don't need anyone to approve your dream. If you really think you got your dream and that's who you want to be in life you have to do the impossible to get it. This is the only moment you got, the opportunity that is given to you it wont be here forever. take self responsibility and be an individual not everyone is going to be here to support you.
Never give up on your dreams that you want for yourself chase after what you want. Don't expect it to be easy you are going to face some problems in your life you are going to struggle. If it was easy everybody would do it, but life isn't easy people don't do anything because its hard and they don't want to struggle. In cause of that that is one of the reasons why they don't have a good future for themselves,they are un-happy. Take action and start giving 100% of your time and effort to have the life you want for yourself. Don't ever sit back and wait like it is going to come to you, it will never be like that in life you have to work for what you want.
1. In my own words this poem means that you might think and tell yourself you cant do it and might joke that u can but u will never know until you try until you give it a chance and actually try it because if you don't it will always be the what if and never know what would have happend if you actually tried it.
ReplyDelete2. Based upon my experience what this means is that for example a sport if you want to try out for soccer but scared you are not good at it or gonna suck you never will know if u never try you cant doubt yourself if you never try it doesn't hurt nor cost money to try u cant just keep saying you cant do it if you never give it a chance you cant be afraid of a challenge
3.{took notes on paper}
4. How the video and quote are similar is that they both talk about how that just because you think something is not possible for you doesn't mean it is not until you try to make it happen or at least attempt to succeed because you cant doubt yourself even before you even do anything. You cant doubt yourself you cant say u cant do something before you even try it. How the video and poem differ is that the video talks i little more about also motivating yourself that u could do it telling yourself YES YOU CAN!!!!!!!!!!!. The poem leans a little more towards saying that we all doubt ourslves but its not o.k to do so because saying we can't do it won't get you no where and won't help you to achieve anything.
5.Why this matters is because it is a very important and also can help with how you live your life and how you think about it to.How i could apply this to my life is by not hesitating not doubting myself and not saying i cant do it until i try not saying i am going to suck or not be succesful if i try no i am going to tell myself yes i can do it yes i am going to be succesful i am going to succeed i am not gonna say no i am not gonna say never i am gonna think positive i am going going to tell myself yes i can do it yes i am going to be good at whatever it is i am doubting myself. me thinking like this is gonna help me be a better person a person that is not afraid of taking risks and not afraid of doing things i have not done before.
1. The poem is saying don't let what other people tell you stop you from doing what you want to do in life. People are always going to say you can't do it, prove them wrong show them that you can do and that you can do it better then anyone else who comes in your way.
ReplyDelete2. This means that i shouldn't give up on may dreams because some one said something that made me stop. People always say that everything is hard, some things are hard but others aren't. They just want to do half of the work and then stop. You shouldn't do that if you really want to become something one day then go for it don't stop because a teacher or parents told you that you can't do it prove them wrong. Show them that anything is possible if you put in the effort.
3. Notes
4. The quote and video are similar because they both have examples of how person A told person B that they can't do it.But person B showed person a that the can and that left person A shocked. They are different because the quote only gives 1 example of someone telling a man he can't sing. That man showed him that he can sing.In the video they gave 6+ examples of people failing but then towards the end all their problems get solved.
5.This matters because people are always quitting before any thing starts. Some people think that they can't become a lawyer, architect,judge,doctor, or a teacher but they can. With the right classes and support they need to accomplish their goals.
The videos that we watch in this class really makes me think about my future sometimes i let people get to me and i shouldn't. I want to go to college because my mom never went because she had me. Sometimes i feel like it's my fault that she didn't go but it's not. She wants me to do better than she did she wants me to finish high school and go to college and become that architect that i always wanted to be.
This video really made me think about putting thing on hold. I shouldn't do that because i always think that i can't do it but i can. I want to achieve my goals so that i can become that famous architect one day. All the videos that we watched really helped me get an understanding of how i shouldn't give up, i won't. I will finish what i started and do it right.
1. You shouldn't listen to what others say about something, as there are many people who are telling you that what you want to do is "not possible" since they couldn't do it. There is nothing impossible in this world for you to do, no matter what people say.
ReplyDelete2. This quote means to me that don't listen to what people have to say about whatever you want to do. From my experience, I've seen two poor people who wanted to get out of a life of misery and become successful. Many people that I don't know have told them that they couldn't become what they wanted to, saying that they can't even get a career. Eventually, they came out with their own cars and fortune, the negative people were then surprised drastically.
3. The quote and the video both share similarities and differences. One similarity is how both inspire you on how you shouldn't listen to what people say, even if they say that something isn't possible. Another similarity is how they both have some correlation to personal responsibility, as the poem shows that you go and do your thing while others have fear of doing something; the same thing can be found in the video, as Les Brown explains how people wait for others to do their work and they only do what they know. One difference is how the video puts more detail into the meaning of not listening to what other people when it comes to doing "impossible things". Another difference is how the video also puts a little more extra things and topics irrelevant to the subject.
4. This matters to my life as it shows that nothing is impossible. Its' best not to follow other people's opinions and thoughts and follow your own opinions. This can apply to my life in some ways.
I've never really followed other's opinions or believed that anything is impossible. I can use this to know that I can do anything and also not listen to anything negative about me. My parents have taught me about this before, and I have already done this before when I was younger.
What is your name?
Delete1. The poem is saying don't let what other people tell you stop you from doing what you want to do in life. People are always going to say you can't do it, prove them wrong show them that you can do and that you can do it better then anyone else who comes in your way.
ReplyDelete2. This means that i shouldn't give up on may dreams because some one said something that made me stop. People always say that everything is hard, some things are hard but others aren't.

1.What this poem is explaining is that even if someone tells you can't do something you can do it if you put your effort into it. Also, if you think something is so hard and you tell yourself you can't do it you can do it and show others that you can accomplish anything if you try.
ReplyDelete2.Based on my experience i thing this quote means to no be scared and run off without even trying to accomplish what you can't do. For example, I thought that I couldn't end middle school with a 3.8 G.P.A but and I was scared that i was going to fail at reaching my goal. But, in the end I reached my goal and put the effort into my work. I wasn't afraid of trying to reach my goal for the end of middle school to graduate with a G.P.A of 3.8 and I did reach it.
4.The quote and the video are similar because they both explain how people tell you you can't do it but you can, no matter what you can reach your goal. Also, they both explain how you always have to try even if you think you can't accomplish to reach your goal in life. The difference between the video and the quote is that the video explains how your dream is your dream because it was given to you.Another, difference is that you focus on yourself and only yourself to make your life better by watching yourself and looking at what you are doing in your life. These are the similar and differences between the video and quote.
5. Another, difference is that you focus on yourself and only yourself to make your life better by watching yourself and looking at what you are doing in your life. These are the similar and differences between the video and quote.
I can apply this to make my life better because it can help me push my self to reach my life goal no matter what. Also, to show me that I can accomplish anything if I put my effort to all my work to be successful. Then, I can study harder to pass any test with an A to have a great G.P.A.. That is how I can apply this to make my life better and be successful in the future.
1. The poem was about how people will always tell you that you can't do something, or that something is impossible to achieve. But you'll never know what you can and cannot do if you never even put forward the effort to do it. The poem spoke about how you'll always be brought down by others who don't believe in you, but you have to be ale to overcome that and get past those obstacles.
ReplyDelete2. Based upon my experience, to me this means that in life you won't always have the support of others, and you may even be doubted highly by people you know. But you can't let their thoughts, opinions, and words affect your decisions. You can't let what they say influence what you do and don't do, because if you really want something, you'll have to give it your all and put forward your best effort to tackle that obstacle. You have to be willing to go against their judgement and make those decisions of what you can and can't do yourself.
4.The video and quote are similar in the aspect that they both talk about how you can't let people get to you when they say that your dreams are unrealistic. They also both talk about how we rely too much on the approval of others, and how we let other people set standards for us because we want to be accepted. However they also differ because the video also talks about other subjects, like potential, effort, and fear. Where as the poem by Edgar Albert Guest spoke only about how we should not base our limits or what we can and cannot do on the opinions of others, and instead overcome those kinds of obstacles and set our own limits. In conclusion the poem and video share both similarities and differences, even though they have the same concepts.
5. This matters because it shows us just how easily we can be influenced by others. It allows us to see how we get put down by others when we doubt ourselves. if we want to really achieve greater things, we'll have to ignore those kinds of people and instead overcome the boundaries that they set. We can't allow the limits that others set be our own, or else we may never some chances ever again. We must learn to accept that in life not everyone will like or accept us, but you have to overcome that fear to be able to make some real progress.
I can apply this to my life by not allowing other people set boundaries or goals for me. I have to get over the fact that not everyone will like or accept me if I want to get past obstacles in my life. I cant let people impact what i do in life, because then i'll never get the chance to accomplish greater things. Whenever i face a challenge, i won't let the opinions of others stop me, and instead face the problem head on before taking someone else's word and giving up. In conclusion, i will not let what other's say or think affect what i do with my life, i'll set my own limits and boundaries.
The poem 'It couldn't be done' is about this person was told the he couldn't do something and he decided to prove them wrong. He proved them wrong because he knew that not all things are impossible just because other people say it is.
ReplyDeleteBased upon my experience this poem describes people that have that certain drive that motivates them to do great things.It helps them exile in life or other things that they want to do.Never the less i also know certain people that dont have that will to empower themselves to do great things.Or to exile in what they love to do.
The video and the poem are similar by they both talk about how nothing is unattainable. Everything in life is possible and the only way if its not possible if you make it impossible. That is the message that they both try to bring. The one thing that makes them different is one talks about a man who proved people who did not believe that it was possible. The other talks about how only you can change the way you are living and become the impossible.
This ultimately matters because it shows us not everything is impossible. We can prove people wrong by just trying and showing with effort you can do it. Its not a matter of which you can or can't but if you will. The will that ultimately defines us as a person. The power of which you can not escape if you wheel it to your will.
I can apply this concept to my life by asking my self will i do it. If i really want to do something with myself or disappear with the other million of people who once excited but have now disappeared.
Please number your answers.
Delete1) The quote is saying to fight for what you want. To begin with a grin on your face and pass the obstacle that everyone said couldn't be done. To start off knowing that you can do it even if others say you can't. When you Attempt something do it with a good attitude and you will get right past that obstacle.
ReplyDelete2) Based on my experience i believe that if you start something positively you will most likely finish it successfully. This means to me to begin something that people say is impossible with a good attitude and you'll make the impossible possible. If you start off believing everyone when they say "It can't be done" then you won't believe in yourself when you say it is.
4) The quote and video are similar because they are both talking about how you have to believe in yourself and not others. The quote and video are also similar because they both motivate you to attempt the so called "impossible." They are both similar because they both talk about listening to yourself and not others. To not let other peoples opinions effect your judgement and or ability to perform. So, the quote and video are similar because they both talk about acting on your ability and your belief in yourself.
The quote and video are different because the quote talks about not letting others effect your mindset on whether you can do it or not. The video talks about not letting your fear take over your mindset. The quote is different from the video because the quote talks about not letting other people effect your decisions. The video talks about never being satisfied with yourself to keep making improvements. The video is also different from the quote because the video talks about being determined. The quote is talking about believing in yourself and not believing others.
5) This matters because you need to believe in yourself. It matters because you need to believe that you are capable of doing the impossible. It matters because you need to know that you need no ones approval on your dreams but, yourself. This matters because you need to know that you might only have one opportunity to do something amazing. This matters because you need to act instead of thinking about the negative possibility's.
This matters because you need to keep your head up when others say you can't do it. This matters because you need to decide whether you want to act on something so, don't let other peoples opinions effect your decisions. This matters because you need to know that you are capable of achieving your goals. I can apply this to my life by never being satisfied with myself. So that i can better myself everyday to make myself the best person i can possibly be.
I can apply this to my life by never giving up on myself. I can apply it by taking responsibly for my actions and not expecting others to. I can apply it by listening to the small voice in my head. I can apply it by developing myself to be better. I can apply it by not making things logical.
1. He wouldn't let fear take over him because he try it before giving up, but even though he would approach them with a good attitude and he achieved his goal at first. He didn't care what people would say because he didn't let fear convince him so he tried it and made it. You must approach things that other people cant do and you will win as long as you have faith on what you are doing.
ReplyDelete2. The video to me means many things in which how should approach things in were people say I cant. It also tries to give to understand that you can achieve anything you want to achieve in your life. You must not let other people be fear and you cant let fear take over your ideas. You must not pay attention to what other people say just listen to your ideas. If you work hard you will achieve your ideas and be successful in life.
4. The video and the quote are similar in some ways but they also have differences. They are similar in the way that you must step out of your comforts zone to grow other wise you will be the same person. You cant let fear take over you or what other people or friends tell you what you can do or what you cant do. In the video it explained why people wouldn't do certain things. In the poem it was a character who didn't let him self get carried away and he did what couldn't be done. In the video it would explain to do something, because maybe that situation might not come again.
5. This matters in so many ways. Things so small can affect your way of living in your life. You must not get carried away on what people tell you. What legacy will you have when you die maybe that one chance could had made you a legacy. Fear can not be part of you in a daily bases and that can be a big problem because you will never grow.
You can apply the poem in a way that you can achieve all your goals. You cant let other people tell you what you can do. As long as you work hard you will achieve. You must tackle the 'not possible' to do things. You have to start getting out of your comfort zone.
You shouldn't use fear as an excuse. You cannot wait for a perfect time because there is no perfect time. You don't know if that opportunity will come on with time or if it will ever come again. You don't need nobody to accept you just follow your dreams and it would be the correct path. As long as you work hard towards your dreams and never give up you are in the correct path.
4. There are many ways to fail but the only way to grow is by stepping out of your comfort zone that is what they both share. They also differ by, how a person does not do any thing because of fear and the poem gives an example of how not to let fear affect.
Delete5. (2 Paragraph) Also not be part of another person who can't do something. Be the person who can do it even if you have to grin.
(3 Paragraph) Ask questions what do i really want. Nothing will never be i dial. It won't be comfortable but that is were the growth is. Never be satisfied with your self as you invest time and effort because that is the greatest ability a human has because you can have unlimited potential. Somethings about life defies logic so don't waist time trying to make everything logical.
1. To summarize this poem, Edgar Albert Guest is saying that everyone would say that his dream couldn't be accomplished or that is wasn't possible. But Edgar proved everyone of his doubters wrong by doing it himself and trying his best.
ReplyDelete2. Based upon my experience this poem to me means, prove every person that ever doubts you wrong. It also means that as long as you approve of your dreams others approval shouldn't matter. Also, in order to prove people wrong you have to believe in yourself first.
3. (video)
4. The poem and video are similar because they both speak about proving people wrong. They are also similar because they both also speak about accomplishing our dreams. Just like the poem and video have similarities they also have differences. The poem and video differ because the poem just speaks about how the writer proved all his doubters wrong. While the video not only talks about proving people wrong it also talks about us having fear in failure.
5. Ultimately, the poem and video matter. They matter because they let us know we can do it, we have the power to accomplish and succeed. They both give us an idea in how to ignore the doubters and negative comments. The poem tells us a story that gives us motivation to do ourselves. The video let's us know that no one can take away our dreams unless we let them.
I can apply these concepts to my life by taking in the knowledge and making it better. I can make my life better with this knowledge by inspiring myself with the words. I can also make my life better by keeping in mind that I can accomplish my dreams by ignoring everyone else's opinion. Also, I will keep in mind that there will always be people who will try to bring me down by judging my goals but my job is to prove them wrong.
1) Never say you can't get anything done because everybody can. If people don't try they don't succeed. Everyone expects other people to do their work that's why they don't even try.
ReplyDelete2) I think that people nowadays are too lazy to try that's why they don't succeed. If they at least try, I know that they can get the job done in no time. People just need to believe in their selves and say "I can do it", "If I get the job done I can do it."
3) Notes for Post #3
- People don't really act up because they want other people's approval or they want other people to like them.
- If you want to make something right, you need to come up with an excuse to make it work.
- People don't want to bother trying because they don't want to take personal responsibility.
- We expect other people to do our work for us, that's why we don't sometimes try.
- It's the only moment you get to be successful.
- When people begin to take life seriously, they will start to struggle.
- When you struggle, you are beginning to progress.
- Never be satisfied with yourself.
- When you only focus on yourself and what you do, you can take your life where ever you want right now.
- You can make it if you believe in yourself and your dreams.
4) The quote and the video are similar to each other in many ways. In the video they talk about how people need to start being true to their selves and at least try to get their work done. The quote says that people don't try because they expect other people to do their work for them. Many people can tell you that getting something done is impossible, but you just have to believe in yourself and get the work done. Nothing is impossible in life, if you just believe and never give up you'll get the work done in no time.
5) Working your hardest will get you rewarded in the future. This matters to me because if everyone tried, everyone will be successful by now. Working to your fullest potential is not that hard, you just need to believe in yourself and never give up.
I can relate this to my life in many ways. At times, I can sometimes be lazy when it comes to work. I know that if I really want to become a court interpreter or a makeup artist in the future I need to work to my fullest potential. I just need to have pride and confidence so I can get the work done right and properly. Sometimes when I'm too lazy to do my work, I expect other people to do it for me, but I know that, that is not going to happen because when I don't get something done I don't progress and when I don't progress I don't succeed.
Never be satisfied with yourself because not all things come out the way you planned. Like sometimes when I want something to come out right, it does not turn out the way I planned. When you know you can do something you'll get the job done right. If you want to make something right, but you don't succeed at it, you need to come up with an excuse to make it work. You only get one chance and when you have that chance, value it and use it to get the work done.
1.The poem talked about a how a man tackled something that everyone told him it couldn't be done. He tackled it with a small grin and ignored when others said it couldn't be done.
ReplyDelete2.Based on my experience this means to me that instead of listening to others opinions about my decisions I should ignore their bad comments. Also to tackle what everyone says that couldn't be done. To tackle it like it was a challenge not like a chore in my life.
4.The video and quote are similar because both maintain the similar theme you don't need anybody's approval to do what you want to do.Since in the quote the man didn't ask for approval and did what he wanted to do.In the video it also said,"Many of us don't act because we want other people's approval." The difference between the video and the quote is the quote covered a couple of meanings.While in the video he maintain many ways to improve yourself so, you can face things without fear of failure.
5.This matters because I shouldn't let everyone's opinions affect my decisions.I can apply the concepts of the quote to my life. By tackling the obstacles and showing them it can be done. And also tackling it down with a grin or like if it was a game.Since i shouldn't show signs of worrying over it.
The video matters because it tells me ways how I should improve myself and not wait for someone to approve my dreams.Also that I shouldn't be satisfied yet with what I have accomplished. And find ways to improve myself.I should act because I don't need people's approval to accomplish my dreams.Since I need to finish the dreams I want to achieve.
Both the video and the quote matter. Since both gave me different concepts that I could apply to my life. For example, I can apply the concept of the quote to something that I couldn't achieve earlier in my life.I can apply the concept of the video to learn how to improve myself. I can apply both of these important concepts to my life.
1. The poem talks about just going forward and doing what you want to do. Even thought there's going to be a lot of people who will tell you to give up, don't listen to them and be strong. Raise your head up high and walk with pride.
ReplyDelete2. Based on my on experience there are always going to be things that people are going to say that it is impossible, it is up to you to prove them wrong. show them that the impossible can also be possible. Don't let stuff like that get you down because you have yo stand on your on two feet, stand strong and be proud. Have confidence in abilities and believe that you can do it.
3. Notes were taken.
4. The video and quote are similar because they both talk about the fact that you got to do what you have to do. They are different because the quote talks about how things couldn't be done but was end up done. The video talks about winning and having great potential to do great things in life. The video says that you can transform your life wherever you are and all you just need is to believe that you can do it. The quote says that the unachievable things in life can also be achievable in life.
5. This matters because I have to give life all I got without having limits. I have to believe in the impossible to make the possible happen. In this life, there are always going to be people who are against what you do but don't let it be the reason for your failures rather let that be the reason for your success. You don't need people to approve of your life for you because of the don't have control over your life rather you do.
I can apply this to my life to make it better by knowing that nobody can get your good. I know that I don't anybody to approve of my dream because my dream was given to me not them. My life was mine and mine alone to live not anybody's but mine. I know that I got potentials that used for a lot of great things. I have to work on making life a great and better one for me.
1. I think it says if someone says you can't do something you can. You can do anything.
ReplyDelete2. I think it means when someone says you can't do that, you can. All you have to do is put effort in it. Anything is possible if you put your mind to it.
3. Notes
4. They are similar because the both say you can follow your dreams. Don't listen to anyone's negative comments and work hard for your dreams. They differ because the video says you can do anything. The quote says follow your dreams with effort.
5. This message and video matters because it can help me become the best person I could ever be. It helps me feel motivated to do what I want in life. We have to listen to ourselves and our dreams. We come up with excuses to cover up for our mistakes but we have to let it go and move on.
Humans can be anything they want. You can be a doctor, lawyer, nurse, etc. But we don't put in effort. A dog can only be a dog. A tree can only be a tree. You can be anything. The sky is the limit.
Ask yourself what you want to be. Don't wait for your dreams to come to you. Go to your dreams and follow it. Everyone needs motivation or else you'll be nothing. Say yes to your dreams. Anything is possible. That is what I learned
