ReplyDelete1) Notes/video
ReplyDelete2) I believe that this means that we are all special, and how we all have great talent at something to live a great full life.
3) The video and the poem are the same because they both talk about talent. They both talk about how we all have a special talent. The video and the poem are different because the video is talking about if you are a gladiator? And the poem is telling you that you have a talent, and how you will use them to create a great legacy
4) The video is about how if you don't like something in your life no one in this world can fix it but yourself. The video is trying to tell you if you are a gladiator? Also it is telling you that your are the solution to your problems. The poem is is basically about your talents, how you can create a great legacy with your talents. Also it is about how we are all running to grind to be a successful person.
5) I would want to change that my parents were still together because i would have a better life. I wouldn't see my mom working hard like she is because I know that she wants a great life for my two sisters and I.
6) If my mom and dad were still together I would of have more motivation and a more positive life. I would of have more support in my life. I wouldn't see my mom working hard like she is right now and i respect that she is because shes trying to make my sisters and my life better. I know that life wont always work out how you want it to be but things always happen for a reason.
7) The video and the poem matter because its trying to tell you that we all have talents which can create into a legacy. This is why we all have to grind and work hard. WE cant make any more excuses to why we are not successful. We cant let the small things make us not successful. We have to take the small things and turn them into positive things.
You can make this apply to your life and make it better by just grinding. Grinding explains where you will be and where will you go. It will show if you are a weak person or a strong person. It will show if you are a negative person or a positive person. This is why it is important to grind and do our best every day because tomorrow is never promised.

It will show if you are a negative person or a positive person. This is why it is important to grind and do our best every day because tomorrow is never promised.
2) Based on my experience this means to me that basically everything you put in that is what you get out in life. If you don't try in something then you will always not try i n everything. Don't cut corners on what you are working on if not then whatever you work on in the future then you will always cut corners. You build your own life.
ReplyDelete3) The poem and the video are similar cause on both you can succeed and put it all you got. Put what you got whatever you are doing. It doesn't matter what it is but just put it all you got and success will come to you. Give it all your best talents. They also differ cause in the poem it just talks about how you can succeed easily and thinking positive. But in the video it says how to succeed . In order to get something good out in life you have to put something in. Put it a lot of effort and if you do then something will come out good.You build every decision you make.
4) The message it explains how you will achieve what you will put in. Also it is saying like always be positive no matter what. And when you think of doing something don't think negative about it and say you won't do it always use " I WILL" . In the video it is saying what you do in life you get that something out of it. Like say you put 100% in something like working out then everything you do you will also put 100% in it and get something good out of everything.
5) The area in my life that i want to make a change is in soccer for me. I grew up loving soccer i started playing since i was 3 years old. The reason i choose soccer is cause i want to go professional in soccer but i know it's hard. But i don't let anything stop me but i still need a lot to learn so that's why i always give my best every time i play. And when i keep doing that i really think i will get something good out of it.
6) What will it look if i change this area in my life it will look good. Say something really good happens to me in the future cause i gave it all i got . Then it will look pretty good cause if i did i will help everyone in my family with what they will need. And also i will buy everyone of my family a house. It will really change my mind completely if this happens.I will really help my family out. This is how things will change if i really change this area. Also it will be perfect for my family and for me cause they know what i did to succeed so they might try to give it all they got to succeed in their life to.
7) The message in the poem and video matter to me cause it really tells me if i put all i got in then something good will come out for me. And i really am into it cause i trust it and now whatever i am going to do i am going to put whatever i got and for something can come out for me and my family. Also is because they say positive things like you always got to think positive. For example if you are going to do something also think that you are going to do it.
I can apply this to my life cause from now on i am going to think positive and give it all i got on everything. I really want there to be something good out of my life. Plus it tells me it doesn't matter what you wear it just matters how you grind. And this is expiring me how from now on i should grind and give it all i got. So this is how i can apply this to my life and know how to grind and give it 100% on everything to achieve what i want.
1.) Video and Notes
ReplyDelete2.) This means you have to be positive about yourself to be what you are. Fix what you broke and be the person you always wanted to be.
3.) The poem and video are similar by telling us to live in a life that is average. The difference is that the poem is talking about fixing are failures and to make are life great. The video is talking about getting your stuff done and putting your effort on your work.
4.) I will make my life better on using my talent and building a better life. I will make my dreams come true and winning to the end of the track. You will live in the reality that you build. If you do not like on what you see, do something about it. Rebuild all the stuff you don't like to make your life better.
5.) The area in my life that I would like to change is my house. I want to change my house because its not big for everyone that could live in it. My aunt and my cousins live with me and my family.
6.) The change of my house would look like a two story house. The house would have a lot of rooms that my family would be in and a huge backyard. My aunt and my cousins will have their own rooms. Also my brothers and my parents. My two pet bunnies would be in the backyard hopping and happy that they are free to run around.
7.) This matters because you have to make your life better to be happy and not stressing on anything. You have to get your stuff done to be prepared. You will live in what you build. I will apply this to my life to make it better by doing what I always wanted to do. If I don't like something I have to do something about it.
1) DONE!!!
ReplyDelete2) In my experience it means to me that you shouldn't take any short cuts in your life cause in the end it will always affect only one person an that person IS U. I always need to have my head in the game an put in all my effort and not lack around because understudy has so much skills it can make me an all of you happy.
3) The quote and the video are both similar because there both telling all of us to know were we want to be in the future.To go and get greatness, the only way we will all get that is but using all our knowledge by working very hard as well.Don't give up create something good in your life. Remember to always have good vibes because there is more than one movement. In order to win you have to run to win never look back.BUT, there are also different because the video is talking about about if you mess up now you will have to live in your mess that you did all by yourself. The poem is saying that you don't need to live in the mess you made that you just got to work your way out of it everyday.
4) In my opinion the video is saying that from where we are now we need to start working hard and to put in all your good effort your willing to put in order to succeed on winning and on gaining your knowledge through out time.The video i think means that yes, we all make plenty of mistakes but we all have to learn from them one way or another.Also, to be someone great takes time but you need to be all your passion to it if that's something you really love and are willing to do right now in this moment.The poem means to me that we should all know who we are before we pressure great things in life.Mainly that being a winner isn't hard at all well maybe a little bit but with all your understanding we all can become a legacy someday run an win.
5) The area i would like to change in my life, is letting boys get in my way of my education that is something i would love to change.But now i'm currently learning that boys are just a BAD DISTRACTION there not worth my time anymore i need to be above all of those no good guys and be much more independent and willing to put 100% in my education.
6) If i would change that which i'm trying very hard to it would look very clear to me that all i did besides getting rejected many times is that i was being desperate for a guy attention. This WAS getting in the way of my education and hard work i put in to succeed in school and in life.But now i know never to do that again until i graduate from college till then i'm officially done with guys AND ONLY FOCUS ON MY EDUCATION that's the only thing that would get me to be an iconic super model in my life that everyone knows.No more terrible distractions for me got to put my thick head in the game and know what's best for me and my education.Maybe someday in the future i can inspire someone who might relate to the same situational problem i had.
7) This video and poem matter to me because it made me realize all the time i spent not caring about my education and just focusing on guys who don't care if i seceded or no.Now i can apply it to my principle of my life because all i care about now is my family who was pressuring me to do good in school and not to worry about guys.I clearly see that they were helping me be something awesome in my life to create a good image of my future which is me being a beautiful iconic model who inspires people to do good in there life.Thanks to my parents and E.T. i now know what i want to accomplish in my life and i know exactly how to achieve my goal for the future me.No more letting myself get distracted by stupid unnecessary things that aren't no good for me.
2) Based upon my understanding this means that this person is ready to win. They are ready to be grate at what they do. They have done the preparation to get where they want to go. And they know of the potential they have to succeed and to be grate.
ReplyDelete3) The poem and the video are similar by they both talk about how you must have the energy and the will to be grate at what you do. The will to not do an average job but a grate job with preparation and skill. The stamina to keep going and reaping what they want to sow. They are different by the poem talks about being prepared and knowing who you truly are. Are you the person who put in the effort and became confident on who you are or the person who gave up and now is a self conflicted person. The video talks about the product you make and the results you get from your effort. The video talks about a young man who is given a task to build a beautiful home for his guru but since he did not have order he did an averae job. And then in the end his guru when he comes back from his trip he looks at the hous and says ''here'' and gives the young man the keys to house. And the lesson of this story was the young man did an average job on the house when his guru was a talented person and so was he. But since he did not have anybody to tell him what to do he became lazy and did an average job. And now he has to live in an average home. It was the product that he created the effort that he is now suck with. He is now stuck with what he reaped and what he sowed. The similarities they share is they both have a message to give. They both share a message about the work you put in is the reward you get out. To be grate you have to do grate things and great effort. Their are no short cuts to being grate there is only the long road.
4) The message of the poem and the video is that you cant half due everything and expect grate results. You cant lack effort and expect everything to be ok. In order to get what you want you must work for it. Work is the only way to achieve greatness. Ask anyone hat has put effort in what they do and have succeeded. Things in life are not given but earned if you do not earn it it will never come.
ReplyDelete5) A area in my life that would like to make a change in is too many to count. But the biggest one is to not make mistakes. The mistakes I tend to make in my life are pretty huge that only effect me but other people as well. That is something in my life that I would love to change. But I am human so theirs nothing I can really do about it except getting better at being careful. Being more aware of what im doing and the consequences that can come of it.
6) My life would look like a breeze. My life would be infinitely less stressful and more comforting. I would feel better about myself as a person and wouldn't have to worry so much about hurting other people. It would be a weight lifted off my shoulders. I wouldn't be so jittery or mad all the time if i didn't have to worry if i was going to make a mistake or not.
But then again i am human so those are the things i have to put up with in my life. There are only so much i can control and i am bound to make mistakes. It would be beautiful if i didn't but i do. That is something that makes me, me. And nobody can change that. It is a quality that i posses and its what thrives me to be better and do better.
7) The message in the poem and video matter to me because they reach out to me on a personal note. They are giving me advice on what kind of effort i need to put in at whatever i do to get the results that i want. If i want to be grate i have to believe that i am grate and if i want to live in the house that i build then it better be grate house because it represents me. And i can only wish for the best representation of myself. I am the only one that can build me up strong or do an average job with my life and get an average life.
I can apply these principles to my life by doing a grate job in my work in myself to get outstanding results. But i can only do that if i learn to not be average. I know i can be grate and i am capable of being grate but i have to push myself to the next level in order to reach it. I cant keep doing the same thing and expecting different results life dosent work that way. And now i see that. Thats how i can apply this principle to my life.
1. Watch video and take detailed notes.
ReplyDelete2. Based on my own experiences,what this means to me is that what ever you do in your life affect your future. If you want something good in your life then do something good. If you don't like the path your heading down in then do something about it.
3. How the poem and the video are similar is by both of them talking about how failure and success affect your life and future. And also how they both talk about how you should try to get the most of your life. There different by one saying it direct and the video says it with examples and with details.
4. The video and the poem talk about how you should get the most out of your life. Don't let your laziness affect you always put your best and do your best. You always have to build your way up so whatever you build is what your going to live in. It's your life and you're going to have to life with it so might as well do the best with it. Don't try to do the average because if you do the average then you will lose everything at one point if you keep doing average.So do your everything and the most.
5. A area in my life i would like to make a change in is my middle school. I would like to change all the thing i did and said. Also i would like to change the things I would focus on because i would focus on the wrong things.
6. If I could have changed what I did I would have probably been in honor classes or i would have as many 'eminences" as i have now. I would;d be the girl that i am right now. I would probably be the A+ girl that my mother would be so proud of. Or i would be the attention of my family for passing all my classes with 100% and i would have the newest clothes, phones, and/ or supplies.I would be the girl at a game because i'm athletic and my whole family would show up to my games and i would win metals and all that and my mother would love that.
DeleteBut sadly i don't i'm not that perfect girl my mother wants i'm not the 100% girl that my family wants. I'm not that athletic girl that everyone wants. All thanks to all the bad decisions I made in middle school. I took the wrong path now I'm the bad one in the family i don't get good grades. I don't have the newest things. My own mother id disappointed in me for my actions. Just because i made the wrong decision/choices and i took the wrong path.
7. The video and the Poem matters to me because it made me realize all the bad choices i made and why and how i took the wrong path. I can apply this to my life by making the rest of my life the best of my life . By not taking the wrong path anymore and making my high school year the best because these 4 years is what is going to determine my life what am i going to do in my life.I don't want to be average anymore i don't want to disappoint my mom anymore. I want to make her happy i want her to be proud of me.
I want to make the rest of my life the best. No more of this "average" nonsense. The rest i will not take the wrong path. I will not be the "average" girl. I will be the A+ my mo wants. I will be the 100% girl my mom wants . I will be the girl that makes her mom proud for what ever she does.
1. Video/Notes
ReplyDelete2. Based on my experience this means that you are conscious for what you are and will always try to succeed. That you will always put in your fullest effort in what ever you are doing. If you don't like your final product rebuild the recipe. Always be proud for what you receive.
3. The poem and the video are similar by the fact that you will know when you fail. That you should always give your best and rebuild if you fail. Know matter what what you should never be satisfied with average. The poem and the video are different by the fact that the poem is more on trying to be a better person and never stop. In the video I understand that if you fail rebuild and you should never be satisfied with average. In the video you get what you give and in the poem you receive good things and realize what you did wrong. Also in the poem you don't rebuild when you fail in anything.
4. In my own words you should never be satisfied with average. Always go for more because you what to be distinguished as something better than average. Realize when you do something wrong. Don't do shortcuts because they will destroy you instead of helping you. You are never a victim for what you get it's just that you get what you build. You are supposed to go against pain and fight it not go with it and retreat.
5. I would like to make a change in my grades. Even though i have good grades they are average. There are many people who have better grades than me. I wouldn't like to stay behind i would prefer to be in front.
6. If i were to change this area i would have strait A's. I would have a perfect GPA of 4.0. This would help me by the fact that i would look more competitive than others. I will also have a slighter chance to get my way into college or a university. I wouldn't also feel ordinary i would feel more confident of my decisions.
I know that if i had a better grade i would like too be more competitive. I would change my classes and get 8 instead of 7. I would also involve my self in other school activities. I know that i am not suppose to have excuses and i can work to rebuild that. Also rebuild my B's in some classes.
7. I can apply the video into my life by doing what ever is most important first. I wouldn't let pain be a excuse to stop. The fact that i don't have pressure is not a excuse for my to slide in my activity. I shouldn't do average because that will make me average. I get what i give so i cant expect good things if i don't do good. I must change and rebuild if i don't like my final product. I will live in the reality that i build so i can't be a victim.
I can apply the poem into m life by doing great things and not average. Also realize when i fail in something. Be proud for my final product. If i am not proud i must do it again and better. I should do this for my self and for my family.
1. video
ReplyDelete2. Based upon my experience, the poem to me means that I am a great person in every way possible. My uniqueness,talents and abilities are what make me great and it creates a great legacy along the way. I have to accept my failures and pursue greatness which lies ahead of me.
3. The poem and video have their similarities and differences. They are similar because both address to you that you are great person and that you should live a phenomenal life. Both of their messages say that there is greatness in you and that you have to pursue that dream of success. The poem and video are different because the video gave more information about the concept of greatness. The video mentioned that the house you build is the house you now live in. That means that whatever decision you make in life you now live with it. It is better to make the good decisions in life.
4. The messages of both the video and poem is that there is greatness in you and that you have to seek and pursue your dream of being successful. In order to pursue greatness you have to accept the consequences and live up to your full potential. Greatness does not come at your fingertips. You have to pursue it. To do that you have apply good effort and 120% onto it. Every corner and shortcut you take is what tears down that dream.
5. An area of life that I would like to apply some change are my study habits. My reason behind it is that my study habits are not so good now and I want to put some work and effort into them. Doing that will secure an A+ on all my tests.
6. If I were to change this area of my life I would probably be seeing myself as someone successful. The path that I take by making this change is what gets me all A's on my tests. It even makes me graduate high school with a higher GPA of a 4.0. All this can most likely happen if I change those study habits and actually give it my all. It can even lead to a bright future that is ahead of me.
But of course in order to reach this path I am going to have to make some sacrifices. For example, getting rid of some time while using my phone. Most importantly I need to get rid of all distractions. This will give me some alone time at home in order to finish all my assignments and to get some more study time. In conclusion, the area of my life that I want to change is not that difficult. I just have to put all work and effort.
7. The messages of both the video and poem matter to me for many reasons. They matter because it is the key ingredient into having a successful life. When you seek for greatness, you seek for ways in making your life better. You need to ignore all the haters and things that are keeping you down from completing this rigorous path. It is achievable and it certainly is approachable.
I can apply the principles of the messages to my life to make it better in many ways. One way I can apply it to my life is by having it be my guide throughout life. If I want to succeed then I have to pursue success itself and to do so I have to give it all the energy I have. I have to be a gladiator in order to succeed and to not live an average life. I have to approach, embrace, and dominate all the pain that is on my way. In conclusion, the messages of both the video matter and they can be applied to our lives. These messages are what prepare us for life and it can create a legacy.
1. video and notes
Delete1) - Video
ReplyDelete2) Based upon my understanding this means that you are supposed to know who you are. You are supposed to be true to yourself and not be someone you're not. You have to find that path that will help you to "pursue your greatness".
3) I think the quote and the video are similar because they both explain how much it takes for you to be successful. They both explain what you are required to have in order to be on top of things. In reality people are going to have to understand every decision they make because nobody is going to make any decisions for the anymore after they turn 18. They're going to have to start making their lives and and decisions. The video and the quote are also different because the quote talks about how you're going to have to start "pursuing your greatness". You're going to have to start realizing who you really are. The video talks about how you need to start "building your house". As I said in the above, you're going to have to start building the person that you really are.
4) I think the messages that the quote and the video are trying to send to us is that they want us to understand there has to be a movement in your life. There has to be something in your life that helps you get to the next level. Like for example, people are going to have to understand every decision they make. They're going to have to understand that being an average person will not get them anywhere far. When you're an average person you can loose your job or even your house. People have to be more than average to be successful. They're going to have to be beyond that in order to get what they want in life.
5) The area of my life that I would like to make a change in, is the way I get my work done. I'm always starting my work, but I don't finish it. I think that is a really bad habit that I have to get rid of in order to be successful in life.
6) I think if I changed this are in my life, my life would be more organized. When people start something, but they end up not finishing it they won't finish it anytime sooner. I think that if I become one of those people that never get's their work done, then my life will not be complete. As I now understand the consequences that this can lead to, I now know that actually getting something done will make a change in my life.
Laziness can be one of the major effect in not getting your work done. To be honest at times I do get kind of lazy to finish my work, but then I begin to realize that if I don't finish it is not going to get itself done. I have to make a movement in my life in order to progress in life. I have to make changes in my life that I know will prevent me from being successful. This is my home. I have to build what's inside of it in order to make my life complete.
7) The message in the video and the quote matters to me because this is actually gives me good advice for how to build my life. I know that I'm going to have to start making decisions for myself because my parents are not going to be there all the time to make my decisions for me. Life is not easy. You have to work to your fullest potential in order to get what you want. You have to spin whatever you want to spin in order to turn your life the other way around.
These messages are also going to help me to change that really bad habit I have in life of not getting my work done. I now know that in order to be successful you have to be a great listener, keep track of everything that you do, and me grateful for what life has given you. I think that if people actually get their work done as well on time, it can also make a great change in their life. People have to be phenomenal in life in order to "pursue their greatness". They have to know what's coming at them in order for hem to be ahead of life.
1) Notes/Video
ReplyDelete2) The have a special meaning to it. It means for me is that you are special in your own way. Also use your talent and failure to understand what you need to do to be successful in life. That what the quote means for me.
3) Both the quote and the video have a similar meaning to each other. Both have the concept of understanding your talent and failure to help you make a better decision in life. However, the two ideas have a different concept. For example, for the message it explains how people should create a legacy using their talent and success. Also, for the video's it explains how not to give up or don't take any shortcut. That how the message and the video have a similar yet different concept to explain people about life.
4) The message explains how you are special in your own way. That you should achieve greatness in life. Also, it explains to see your failure and use it and learn from it so you can success in life. Furthermore to use your talent and abilities to success in life. Last, if you achieve this concept then you'll be successful in life. That what the message is explaining for you for its concept.
The video explains how you should achieve greatness in life. First, its explain how lots of people have skills they can use so you can be in a happy life. Next, it explains how to never take a shortcut in life or you will fail in life.Then, it goes on explaining how if you just do average decision in life then you'll just live an average life and it sucks. That how the video is explaining how everyone is special you just need to understand what you're doing.
5) I want to change a thing in my life. I want to change my behavior so I can be more friendly towards other people. The reason why I want to change that in my life because I'm very shy around other people and I don't know the people around me. That is the reason why I want to change a thing in my life.
6) My life would be different if I apply a changing process in my life. For starter, I would have a lot of friends which sound cool. However, if I had a lot of friends I wouldn't spend a lot of time with my family because I would be busy going to a party and other events. Also, I would lose my old friend Richard which he was the best friend I ever had in my life since he helped me and he's a very true friend to the end. That how my life would have been if I change my behavior and change my personality.
7) The message and the video matter in your life. If you don't use your talent in life then you're just wasting it. Next, if you don't learn from your mistake then you will never learn what you did wrong in your life and that bad. Also, if you just make an average decision in your life then people will leave you for not being good enough to make the right choose in your life. That why it important to understand the message and the video.
You can apply the concept of the video and the message and use it to your everyday life. First, you should understand your talent so you can master it and use it to get you a career like building or being a scientist. Next, you should learn from your mistake and learn more from what you did wrong so you would not make the same mistake later in life. Then, you should do your best work in school or at a job so you won't live an average life and don't fail later in life. That how you can apply the video and message concept so you won't live an average life.
2. Based upon my experience what this means is that even if you don't know it or realize this but what you're doing now what u did in the past or what you are going to do in the future is building up to what you're going to live ,it is building up your house/life. Everything you are doing now it is going to affect you in the future even though you might not see it.
ReplyDelete3.How the poem and video are similar is how they both talk bout you they both talk about how you have to step up and be great or build yourself up to greatness you have to have confidence in yourself and build that greatness.How they differ is how the video s talking more about how you are building your own greatness in the future you are starting slowly to creating who you are gong to become in the future you are slowly building you own house and what the poem is more leaning tor words is saying that you are unique and you have to have enough confidence in yourself to say you are going to be great you are going to build an amazing house because you are setting up for greatness.
4.To summarize both the video and poem in my own words what i think these are saying is that
Deletewhat you are doing now is leading up to your future what you are setting up now is what your life is gonna look like for example if you are getting average grades you are gonna get an average house if you are trying your hardest and actually achieving things you house is gonna look exactly like that your life is gonna look like the same amount of effort you are putting in your life right now. And to achieve to greatness what you need to do right now is put effort in everything you need to have confidence in yourself you need to tell yourself you can and are going to be great , you have to give effort to every single thing you do.
5. A area in my life that i want to change is my connections with my family. I don't really have that bond that i have with my friends.i don't have that trust with my parents. And i find myself scared to talk to them about certain stuff. For example school , personal stuff, or anything. I do tell them certain things but not as well as i tell my friends i know that i can i just don't really feel as comfortable as i should.
6.If i would change this certain area of my life for the better, i would have more trust in my family i will be more comfortable with them i would have that bond that you are supposed to have with your family i would be more close and open with them as i should. I would tell them more of what i feel and things that i know i should change from myself, and things i think they should change about them , or things that might affect me in a bad way that they might be doing or saying.
I know i should change this and i will. If i change this area for the better i will also gain more trust in them and gain more understanding on things that might not be going as well as they should. Also to be more open about my self to them because at the end there my parents and if anything happens there the ones that are gonna be there.
7. This message in the video and poem matter to me because i need to understand that every choice and decision i make matters and that it might not seem like it but you will effect my life in the future and is going to be a big chunk of what my life might look like in a couple of years and what i am going to be living. My decisions now can affect what kind of decisions i can make in the future. Also because to be great i need to have confidence in myself in need to be aware that i am unique, and i am a different and i can be successful and i will be great and have an amazing life, and be proud of the life i am going to live because working hard pays off
DeleteHow i will apply these principles to make it better is by understanding everything i saw, heard, and and wrote this i need to understand the meanings to all of this and remind myself that i need to be true to myself and not lie to myself and remember to put effort in everything i do because depending on the effort i put in what i do now is gonna be the same amount of effort that my house or life is gonna have.
1. Video/Notes
ReplyDelete2. I think it means do your best and to live life to the fullest. Lastly do not take shortcuts and embrace pain.
3. They both say every decision you make, you have to live with it. you might be working at a good job. Maybe you made a bad decision and messed up your life. Make good decisions is all they are saying. They differ because the poem says be phenomenal. The video says do not live an average life or you will get average back.
4. I think the poem says know who you are. If you do you know your weaknesses and what your good at. The video says you live with what you build. So if you don't like your life tear it down and build a new one. That is what I think it means.
5. I would change my schoolwork because i want to raise my GPA. If i do better and try harder i could get a 3.5 or above GPA. Although i have to work hard for it to be that high.
6. It would look good for my applications to college and i can graduate. I would get Christmas presents year round. My parents would be happy for me. There is a lot of things that could change. That is what I think I should change.
I could already be ready for college. I would be really happy of what I have done. I would be humbled about it. I won't rub it in other people's face like some do. I would build my life back up from there. That is what I would do if that area of my life changed.
7. I can apply this to my life by telling myself to always do better. If I do average effort I will get average effort back. If I give phenomenal effort i will get phenomenal things back. If I take shortcuts i will never be phenomenal. I need to be phenomenal to be well of in life.
It matters to me because I'll know what I built is what I live with. I need to learn how to make good decisions and not bad ones. Bad ones will get me to an average life/bad life. Good ones will get me to the top where i could get a good job and buy a house. I don't want to be an average person because average people don't get spotted like others. That is why this could help me in life.
2. This means that you have to you all your ways to become successful and not just average. Also it says to if your doing average things know you are going to be doing the same when you get older. I want to be like most people that don't want to be average but overachievers some do, don't be one of them that is average be amazing and a overachiever.
ReplyDelete3.The video and quote are different because in the video he talks about how the young man went from an overachiever to average real quick.The quote saying that ,"Who i am is special and unique and also that i will peruse greatness".They are both similar because in the video he said the the builder saw his mistakes when he was building the house and the quote says that i acknowledge my failures.And the man used his talents and abilities to build that house and the quote says that "I will use my talent and abilities for greatness".
4.To me the video is saying that you shouldn't go home and change your mind about who your going to build a house that is not your's but also do the opposite of what he asked you to do.And that when you do something that doesn't meet your expectations you wont like how it turns out in the end but when he finished building the house Lee Brown turned to him and gave him the keys and said you built this home and know its yours. To me the quote is saying that you a great no matter what but when you put in little work don't expect a good out come. It is also saying that putting every thing you got into your work would put you on track to greatness.
5. The area in my life that i would change would have to be right know because i want to start this year all over.At first i was an A student but then getting into the mix of things my head just went all over the place from one class to the next.So i would change that so i could go back and re-do things differently and change the way i look at the work i do.
6.If the change actually did happen i would be a straight A student and not getting in trouble like i usually do. I would have the things that i would have asked for instead of being stuck with the same thing that i always had and not get anything new.This change would change my life a lot because was always that person that would think to much about the assignment where it got to the point to where i would start thinking about it to much and then i would start to fell sick. That has be happening every since is was smaller.
7. They both matters because this is what people do they go from overachievers to average over night. And sometimes people can't tell what happened until they see the work that they did then the start to realize what happened to them then the just give up. This happens to people who start from the top and then they suddenly fall to the bottom.
I can apply this principle to my life because i'm starting to fall but i want to get back to the top.I want to be like i was in the begging of the school year with A's but that doesn't just happen over night.I have to start over to get back to the top because getting back to the top is hard but i know that if i change my was i can do it even better than i started.

Delete2. What this means to me is basically you know who you are so don't underestimate yourself.This also means to me is you will do anything in the world to create something you built and something you like. This poem is talking about life and how you want your life to be like.
3.The poem talks about how to not underestimate yourself , and knowing yourself the best. The video talks about how trustworthy you are really in yourself and also how whatever effort you give is the life you will earn for the rest of your life.The quote and the video are different because the video talks about how you deserve whatever you get and the poem says just getting to know yourself better than other people do and believing in yourself. And do what it takes to be the most successful person. Both the video and the poem share a lot of similarities like the poem saying that it will do whatever it takes using all there abilities. In the video says if you don't like something you life do something about it,or or rebuild it.
4. The poem and the video are mainly about how to use things in your life to make your life successful ,and how to believe in yourself. The video was about how everything you do in your life matters,every single shortcut you make is slowly breaking your career apart. If you aren't putting your hundred percent you are going to regret not putting all your effort in your future. You arent the victim in the situation its just the effort you put in that caused all the bad things that happened. The poem was about how you put all the things in your life to help you support your successful life. What the poem says in shorter terms is that everybody is unique in way you just have to find the way you are unique in.
5.One of the areas in my I would change in my life is my lack of laziness and the way i try to be responsible. Because I tend to get lazy when comes to homework. I'm also not that responsible because I always say that I'm going to do something but I don't end up doing it.
6.I think the area in which I changed would look more mature and more professional.I think itll look professional and mature because when someone asks me for a favor and i get it don they are going to think that i handle my stuff real fast and then thats how I will be one step closer to being professional.Another way i will look professional is if im doing something for school like a project and I finish pretty fast the teacher will probably say he knows how to get his work done and I will have very good grades and my parents will be amazed. One way i will look more mature is when im not lazy I wont be looking out of shape and they are going to know automatically that im lazy and thats not very mature.But if i where to be not sitting down or like not playing video games a lot I look more mature. And I believe that would make me like a better person.
7. The message in the poem and in the video are significant to me because the video tells me how some people aren't trustworthy in themselves. And the poem is so speaking the truth it says that you have to trust your self in order to become successful. I can apply this message in the poem and in the video to my life by learning off of the message that some people don't get , or don't understand the message that is passed through the video. I can apply this video to my life because what the video describes about the man that was taking shortcuts and coming late to work , is me because If I turn something in I usually turn it in late. This message got to me because I can relate that man. So now I know what I want to do and how to do it. I'm going to use all my talents and abilities in order to be successful.
1. Notes
ReplyDelete2. Based on my experience this means that those characteristics are essential if you want to succeed. You need to be unique. If you are not unique, you are a follower. And if you follow someone, you are below them, and at the same playing field as the other people who follow. But if you are unique, you will be remembered.
3. The poem and the video are similar because they both talk about the effort you need to put in. In the poem, it says,"I will pursue greatness." It shows that you will want to succeed. And to succeed you need to put in effort. In the video it talked about how the understudy slacked off on the house. His "guru" gave him the house and the man was shocked because he new that he didn't put in the effort needed for a great job. That shows that you should always put in great effort 24/7.
4. What the poem says is that you to have those characteristics to be an ideal person in life. It says you need to be unique, pursue greatness, acknowledge your failures, be greatful for succeeding, use your talents and abilities, create a legacy, and more. What the video said was that you should give your best effort all the time. Not only sometimes, or only when the boss is there, but all the time.
5. One area I would like to make a change in my life is my relationship with my parents. Sometimes I argue with them and don't do what they tell me to. I try to follow what they tell me but I keep forgetting and continue to do what I'm already doing.
6. What it would look like if I changed this is I would have a very good relationship with my parents. There would be better peace in the household. We would live in harmony. My parents also would be more willing to buy me stuff. I would also be less stressed. That would get less things in my head.
I would be able to focus more on homework and studying. That would help me to keep my 4.0. Keeping a 4.0 would help get into a good college that I would enjoy and be able to graduate. And when I graduate I can get my dream job and get well payed. When I get well payed I can help support my family. Then it goes full circle and my family benefits even more.
7. The video matters to me because it shows you that you should never give a half-as job. If you don't, you never know when you might be surprised and your job is put under the spotlight. Being thrown under the bus is not a good thing to be a part of. You will always complete your tasks with great effort and high quality.
The poem matters to me because it shows the many qualities for a successful person. It shows that uniqueness is a good quality. It also tells you that you should always look for greatness. Wherever it may be. It helps you to know what is important for a great life.
Based on my experience I think this means that no matter what you are who you are and you can change that. Even if you make mistakes and mess up on something very important to you. This is what I think this means.
ReplyDelete3.The poem and video are similar because they both explain how you have to think about what you do because you might be wrong track in your life.Another similarity is that you have to believe in yourself and never give up.One difference is that the poem says that you have to acknowledge your failures. Another difference is that the video says that if you give an average effort in your work you will have an average life. then the video quote explains how you have to you have to use your talents and abilities to be successful. A final similarity is that they both explain to make sure that you are on the right track to be successful. This is the similarities and differences between the video and the poem.
4.The message of the video is that it explains to watch out of what you do because it will affect you in the future. Watch what you do because whatever you do you will have to live with that all your life. The message that the poems is giving us to be yourself and love yourself even if you make mistakes in your life. It also explains how you have to make sure you are on the right track to being successful in the future and on reaching your goal. This is what I think the message is between the video and the poem.
5.One part of my life that I would like to change is that I am too lazy to do things that I need to do. I also want to Change that I am not motivated to do better and push myself to do the best I can. Also, how I give up on things to easily and never encouraged myself to do things I need to get done.
6.If this area of my life would have changed then my life would be perfect. For example I would have great grades and have no problems with graduating high school. Then, I would go to a great college and get my bussiness drgree. After that I would open my dream resturant and help mom with paying the rent. It would be perfect.
I want to help my mom for all the things that she did for me and my sister. Also, because my mom has worked hard to make me happy matter what. I also want to help my sister because she has worked hard to help my mom with the bills. So if that happens I will have the chance to return all the love that they gave me.
7.This matters because it helps me enourage myself to do my best. It also give me energy to continue on the right path. Then, it will help me see if I am on the right track to reach success. Finally, it will help me concentrate more on my grades and fix it.This is why this matters.
1. Video and Notes
ReplyDelete2. This quote means that you are building your own life with what you have. You are on the path of creating whatever life you want, whether it's successful or average. That is what the quote means.
3. The poem and video both share similarities and differences. One similarity is how both things explain how you are creating your own life. A difference is how the video also features a short talk on how gladiators handle pain and how they are. Another similarity is how both things talk about building up to success. Another difference is how the poem talks about who the author is instead of talking about building life like the video said. A final similarity is how both things tell you that you live whatever life you want. A final difference would be that the video puts more detail into the subject compared to the poem.
4. The message in both the video and poem is that you build whatever life that you want to live. Every decision that you take is building your life. Every shortcut on the other hand, is destroying your life. Putting in average effort will lead you to live an average life. If you don't like your current life state, rebuild it then. Building your life means creating your own life based on the decisions you take.
5. I'd like to make a change in my effort values. Its not that I don't put in any effort, its that I'm very lazy at doing things. On the contrary, I actually do put great effort into whatever I do, I just don't feel like doing anything unless I have to.
6. My life would look way better if I actually changed. I would be doing more work and probably getting better grades in classes as I haven't turned in some stuff. Sometimes laziness drags me down and if I got rid of it, I'd no longer be dragged down.
If I can improve within these days, then it'd be better for me. I would have a better reputation and better grades. That's all I can think of when it comes to change.
7. This matters to me because it shows how my decisions can ultimately shape the life that I'll live. It also matters becauseI can be conscious of my decisions and shape my life in a way that I want to. I can build a house of success by using the advice given from ET and the poem. This also matters because I can know that average work will result in an average life.
I can apply this to my life by starting to change my decisions and build a house of success. I can also apply this message to my life by changing my habits and making better decisions. This message holds much value to my life because I can live know that every decision I make is like adding a brick to my house which is my life.
2.Based upon my experience this means that everything I do now is basically gonna set me up for how I live my life. If I take short cuts or do half the work , that's the type of person I'll be in the future. It may also make me have to work harder than i needed to if i mess up now. I can either start doing what I should be doing , but if i don't then I'm just building myself up for failure and there's no one to blame but myself because these are the choices I've made.
ReplyDelete3. The video and poem are similar by both talking about if you do great in everything you do then you will succeed. They both say if you know you are doing great , if you know not to make these mistakes you are gonna have a good life . They differ because the poem talks about how a person KNOWS they are doing great in life, they know they are going down a great path, they know their mistakes.The video talk about how someone who was great started to do things is a shorter manner. they stopped working as hard, the cared less, they didn't think it would affect them. All the mistakes and wrong decisions they decided to take caused them to build a bad home for themselves just because they though it wouldn't affect them. It talked about how you shouldn't take short cuts, you shouldn't put only have of your effort, you should always put in your full effort. The video goes into great detail of all the mistakes you shouldn't do , what you should avoid and the poem just says how someone's life looks like because they are doing everything the way they should be.
4. The message of the video and the poem is: the life you live in the future or at the moment , all has to do with the choices you have made. All the effort you put into the things you do will determine a lot in your life. You live the life you deserve , which is the life you create for yourself. Reality is, if you decide that you want to take shortcuts, Then your life will always be a struggle.If you half do your work in your job, then most likely you will earn half of what you could've if you would have done your work in the first place. You may not like what you get in return , but it's what you give that will determine what you will receive
5. The main thing i would like to change is my laziness.My laziness is why i don't do my work , which isn't a good thing at all.
6. If I actually change this in my life , everything would be so much better. My work would be done. I would be getting better grades in my classes. I would have so many things accomplished that I always dreamed of doing. There's opportunities I could have taken , or did take , but didn't take the full advantage because I did not want to do my work. I could be in homeschooling. I could have been traveling the world. I could have been doing something I enjoy now instead of waiting like you have to do for other professions. i wouldn't be writing this at this moment. I could have been possibly traveling around.
7.This message matters because without it you will always be living a life that you do not feel happy with. You need to get your work done and out in all your effort the first time in order to be successful. In order to not be miserable in your future , you have to start working hard, not taking short cuts, and do everything you need to do. You can't take shortcuts because in the end you are creating the future you will live.
I can apply these principles to make my life better by actually doing my school work. If I don't do good in school , it will only make my future harder. I will be able to get a good paying job, easy money, for the reason that I know what I'm doing because I did my work and studied while in school. Honestly , I think it would be easier to just work hard now. Maybe if I work hard it won't be as hard as I think and be happy with the results.
1.This means that if you are in a path to greatness you most accept yourself first.Also you must know who you are in life and understand your strengths and failures.You should always strive to be great in life.
ReplyDelete2.The quote and video were similar because both tell you to do your best.They also say that you have to succeed in your life.The quote and video are different because in the video E.T used a story to give us a moral in the end.And that we should not have a average mindset,but a great mindset.In the quote it said who a person was and how they saw themselves in life.The similarities the video and quote have are is that both want you to succeed in your life.Also both want you to use what you known or skill you have to go far in life.
3.The messages of the quote was that you should know who you are as a person to go forward in life.Also to understand your failures and strength to achieve greatness in your life.The messages of the video was to have a great mindset or you will live a normal life.Start to understand every decisions you make in life is another message in the video.If you have a average view on things you won't live a phenomenal life.
4.A area in my life I would like a change in is to have more motivation.Since I usually wake up without motivation and act like a zombie instead of acting energetic.I need to have more motivation to do what I want to do in life.
5.If I changed that area in my life I would be able to do more stuff.And I would use my time wisely.Also I would be able to make differences in my life.I would learn new things by being motivated about it.I would be more motivated to do things I couldn't do.
I would also be able to achieve new things I couldn't achieve before.And learn new things by being motivated about finishing it.I also would be looking forward for the next day.I would also wake up early with energy each day.And accomplish things easier.
6.The message in the video and quote matter to me because I have to understand who I am to achieve something.Also I should know my strengths and use them without being asked to.I should always give 120% to my life and understand my decisions.I should also expand my view on things to a great mindset.And try not to get a normal mindset on life.
I can apply theses principles in my life to make it better by including it in my life.One way is by added them in my life by understanding my academic strengths and skills.And by understanding the decisions I will make on my life.Also by giving 120% on everything I do.Also to think positively on obstacles that I have to face to reach a goal.
1. Video & Notes
ReplyDelete2. Based upon my experience, this means that how much effort and how hard you try will depend on your future. Whatever I'm good in will set me apart from others and that will take me a long way. I have to accept that I'm not going to be good at everything you can put time and effort trying to be good at it but if I do fail I have to accept that. Every decision i make will make up my life I am a product of my own effort.
3. The poem and the video are similar because they both talk about how we want to be in our future. The video says that if you take shortcuts in life on whatever you do you wont get the life you want because your doing a " Whatever " decision so you will get a whatever life. The poem is admitting of what they know of themselves and what they should do. As well as the video they both depend on your decisions you take. The video and the poem also differs because the video talks about taking steps to be able to get to where you want in life. On the other hand the poem is talking about already having what they want but still telling themselves everyday to strive for greatness and on winning. Go out and make great decisions for yourself go all in this is on you not nobody else.
4. The message from the poem to me was talking about motivation, every single time I read it over and over again it inspires me to go out and do something. Not just sitting around and waiting for success to come for me I have to chase success. I will use whatever I'm good at and get the best from it and succeed so I can work on the things I'm doing poorly in. I will be somebody everyone looks up to not just be that "great" person I have to be an idol. I have to be an idol so that everyone would get motivation to get up and do something with their life's not just stay on social media all the time. The video to me the message from it was saying to build your own empire you want it to be. If you want a good and wealthy life make good decisions and put in all your work now so that later all that work will pay off.
5. The area I want to fix in my life is my time management. I want o change my time management because i say i would fix it before but i procrastinate every single time. It not only effects me but it will also affect my future and how i manage my grades in school. The more i procrastinate it will also affect my sleep schedule which will also affect my health because the less sleep i get i loose focus. If I'm not prepared and energized and ready to focus it will effect my grade by a humongous amount.
6. I think that once I fix the area I'm having problems in I will finally be able to break my habit of not doing my task on time. I would be more prepared and rested everyday for school and know what to do and get better grades. All the time i have I waste it on homework because I get distracted easily but once I fix it I can use that time to study for upcoming test. All of that will effect my grades majorly I say that because instead of me currently being a A and B student I believe in myself that I can be a straight A student. not only do i struggle on time management but I struggle on patience as well.
DeleteI loose patience very quickly which is never a good thing, because once I loose it i cant accomplish anything anymore. I always have to have the attention of the person who I'm asking the question to. If they ignore me ill repeat it again but if I have to keep doing that I will get frustrated and leave I need to have more patience. I need more patience because I have to understand that not all the time am i gonna get the things I want right at that moment. I need to give up some of my time and effort to practise my patience with people. I have to treat others the way I want to be treated.
7. The message from the video and the poem they both give me motivation they both make me want to get up and chase my dreams right now. It matters because I can apply everything they both say to my life to make it better than it is before not only my life but change me as well as a person. If I don't like something in my life then I need to do something about it not just leave it be, because if I do its going to get in the way of my future. Whatever is in my way in my life dragging me down to get to my life that I want or if I already have it I need to tear it down and rebuild it. if I want to live a phenomenal life with everything I want I need to understand that every decision I make builds up my life.
If i work hard now and make good decisions success will come to me because everything I worked for I'm going to be able to get it in the future. Once I apply the messages to my life I know my way of living would change. I believe that I will live a not so stressful life because ill always be prepared with my stuff on time. I need to stop being lazy and procrastinating on my work and do it as well as managing my time. I also need to understand that i cant take shortcuts in life that's not how life works you need to work for what you want you cant just get it by doing nothing.

2.) - Based upon my experience, this poem means that you know who you are. Even though you are a human being like everyone else, you are unique and different from everyone else. You will admit to your mistakes and celebrate your successes. By doing all that, you can live up to a successful life. This is sort of like a code to living a successful and happy life.
3.) - The video and the poem are similar because they both talk about what you need to do in order to obtain success and happiness in your life. It talks about how you are capable to your own success in life. However, they do have some differences. Though, they are talking about a related topic, they speak about different things. The poem talks about being an independent and special person who is capable of greatness in life. The video talks about how not to be average in life because being average won’t change anything in your life. Both the video and the poem talk about very similar subjects.
4.) - The poem is basically saying that no matter what anyone says, YOU are special in your own way. YOU are entitled to your own success and decisions. YOU can use any resource and capability to obtain greatness and happiness in your life. It’s your life and YOU have to live it. The video talks about how you must live in the life you were given. Your life is your home and you are constantly building it until it becomes something great. Like the video said, “You will live in the reality that you build.” Every decision you make will affect you, whether it’s good or bad. It’s up to you to live your life to the fullest and to build yourself and your life to its highest peak. Don’t be average. Like the video said, “You’re going to lose things if you keep being average.” You should be beyond average.
5.) - I guess an area in my life I would change would be my social ways. To be specific, I can be a terrible friend sometimes. It’s just the decisions I make and the things I say that make people leave my life. Sometimes I don’t intend it on purpose, but when I do, I regret it immediately. I want to change how I treat other people because I am sick of losing the friends I love. I lose them because of the stupid things I say or do. I do need to change that.
Delete6.) - It would make a big difference if I changed my social ways. I don’t treat everyone the same of course. Depending on how I treat a person, it just depends on the person themselves. However, I do wish to treat everyone with respect or sincerity. Something like that. If I changed my ways, the friends that I lost would be talking to me right now. I wouldn’t have to constantly beat myself up because of what I did that made them leave.
Everything would be better if I changed my ways. People wouldn’t think I’m mean and people would actually enjoy being around me. Yeah, I still have my friends who didn’t leave me, but I also do miss the ones who did. The mistakes I did and the things I said, I would take it all back if I could. I would ask for forgiveness and a second chance. I’m not saying half of my friends left me, but only like, two or three of them. I do want them back. I would change that, and everything would be better if I did change my ways.
7.) - It’s a very important principle to apply to your life because it’s talking about life itself. You can build and change your life to make it the way you want. Sometimes it might not turn out how you wanted to be, but sometimes you have to accept it. Life is your house and you have to keep building it. You have to keep building it up to the point that you’re satisfied with it. But you can’t just built it like an average person. You have to put in all your effort. You have to put 100% in it in order for your “house” to be worthy. Like the video said, “If you put forth an average effort, you will live an average life.”
Everything is on you. It is your life, therefore you must build it. It is your life, therefore you must live in it. You live in what you build. Every decision you make is the building block of your life. Yes, you will make mistakes and you will run into obstacles, but that won’t stop you from moving on. No matter what, you must hang on and live through your life. It’s up to your capability and effort that will unfold your life and how it will be life. If you don’t like it, then do something about it. In the end, it will be worth it. Like the video said, “Your are not a victim of your circumstance, you are a product of your effort.”

1. Video & Notes.
2. Based upon my experience, this video means that you cannot take any shortcuts in life. You have to put in all the effort you can at all times. Taking shortcuts and putting in mediocre effort, as the video showed, can affect you later in life; the understudy didn't put in all the effort he could have into the house, and he had to live in it afterward. This poem means that you have to know who you are as a person - you must accept all of your flaws and appreciate everything you have in your life. You must also follow all of your goals and dreams, to live a better life.
3. The video and poem are similar in the way that both say that you must be the best version of yourself that you can be. They encourage you to strive for greatness. Though the video and quote share many similarities, they also share many differences. One of these differences is that while the poem only encourages you to accept your flaws and mistakes, the video encourages you to make changes to better yourself as an individual and live a better, more successful life. In the video, Eric Thomas says that if you are unhappy with something in your life, whether it is your career, your life, or your attitude, you have to take action. You can't settle for average. You have to make all changes necessary to be happy with yourself and live the life you want. Another difference these two sources have is that the video, unlike the poem, explains the negative effects you will have in life if you settle for average. According to the video, if you apply average effort to things you do, you will live an average life. Each person is responsible for all of the choices made in their lives, and if they do not "put 120% into everything you do", you will be unhappy in life. Taking shortcuts, or cutting corners to get things done quicker will lower your chances at achieving what you want in life.
4. The message of this poem is that every person has to stay true to themselves and stay motivated to be successful. As I've mentioned previously, you have to accept all of your flaws and know that you are unique. You can't let any obstacle you might face stop you from pursuing greatness. The message portrayed in this video is that your life is based upon every choice you make in life. Wherever you end up in life is due to how you lived your life, not your the people or environment surrounding you. You have to have a positive mindset and do whatever tasks necessary to succeed. There will be pain and hardships along the way, but at the end every sacrifice will pay off.
5. An area of my life I want to make a change to is the way I manage my time and habits. I feel like my time management skills are not good. I always find myself stressing about not having enough time to get things done, whether it is at home or academically. There are many habits that I want to break in my life. For example, I have a habit of always using my phone. This habit affects my life in many ways. One of the biggest ways it affects my life is because it prevents me from getting enough sleep at night. I tend to use my phone before bed, and I lose track of time and hours go by before I realize how late it is.
Delete6. If I changed my time management skills, my life would be greatly improved. Learning to manage my time better would allow me to get everything I have to do done in time, so I won't be rushing and stressing when I am running out of time, which can cause me to get a lower grade. Managing my time better would also allow me to be more organized and prepared for each school day. I will have more time to organize my supplies before each day, and I will arrive to each class on time with everything I need to learn. My grades will improve, because I will also have more time to study.
Changing, or breaking my habit of using my phone as often as I do will improve various parts of my life, academically and at home. Using my phone less will allow me to get a better sleep schedule. Sleeping more will allow me to have a better attitude. Using my phone less will also allow me to spend more time with my family. At home, when I'm not doing homework or studying, I am on my phone. This reduces the time I spend with my parents. Spending more time with my family will strengthen my relationship with them and we will grow closer.
7. The video and quote matter to me because they made me see the importance of putting all the effort I can into everything I do, no matter how big or small the task may be. The sources also made me realize that I am capable of achieving my goals in life. The poem showed me that nobody is perfect, and that I am unique in my own way. The video showed me that with enough effort and the correct mindset, I can achieve everything I want in life. There are many ways I can apply the principles of the video and quote to improve my life.
I can apply the principles of the video to my life by being aware that my life reflects the effort I put into my life. As I have mentioned in my previous answers, I have to ignore all of the hardships I might be facing in life to be successful. Many people might try to convince me that I am not capable of achieving my dreams, but with the correct mindset, I will be able to focus on my dreams. I can apply the principles of this poem by always following the road to success. What I mean by this is always doing what I think will allow me to succeed and make all sacrifices necessary. It will not be easy, but it will be worth it.
1. Video/Notes
ReplyDelete2. Based upon my experiences, this to me means that you have to have confidence and faith in yourself. You have to be able to see the good in you. But most importantly you have to be able to strive for the best by not falling behind.
3. Comparing both the poem and video they both have a couple of similarities and differences. The poems and video similarity is that they both speak about working hard to get to live the life one wants to live. Also, they both talk about having the life one wants if one does what is needed and when one doesn't slack off. Their difference is that one specifically talks about themselves and the other one is told as a story. The video talks about an architect that is retiring and about his understudy. In the story the architect tells his understudy to build him a house without him being there to oversee his actions or direct him. The understudy does what he is told but he took eight months and didn't put his full effort. The poem speaks about the author's traits and how to gain a successful life.
4. To summarize the video and poem, the video is about an architect that assigns his understudy a task. The understudy does what he is asked but he took shortcuts and didn't put his all into it and was devastated to see the final results of his task. The video also is there to help us see that what we do in life inflicts either happiness or sadness in our lives. To summarize the poem, the poem is basically a plan that that person has in order to be happy or in order to be a winner in life. Also, the poem is about viewing the good things about yourself and using them to be a winner in life.
5. A part in my life in where I hope to change is in the part where I procrastinate. I hope to change this area of my life because that is the part in my life that influences the rest of it. I also want to change this area because it takes away from my free time. Because I procrastinate I don't go out due to the fact that I do things last minute. Procrastination is what also makes me fall behind on the things that are important and things that will help me.
DeleteI will also desire to change this area in my life because this part of my life brings me nothing but inferior results. Also, if I continue with this habit I will pay the consequences later on in my life. I will not allow myself to go through that because I have examples in my life that show me what happens after you miss a chance in life because of procrastination. I don't want to be like those people because they don't seem happy with the lives they live. I want to be a happy adult.
Furthermore, procrastination doesn't only affect my life outside of school it also affects my school life. It affects it because when I procrastinate I don't do as best as I should. Also, it affects me when I do homework, instead of doing homework and finishing early I get on my phone and slack off. Since I do these things my grades get low and I get disappointed in myself because I know I can do better I just don't do it. Procrastination is something I really do have to change because it will only affect me in a way I don't want to be affected in.
6. My life would truly be different if I didn't procrastinate. It would be different because I wouldn't finish things last minute and I would get more sleep. I would also have more free time to spend it with family and friends. Also, my grades would go up because I will be able to ask my teachers if I should fix things in advance instead of turning things in and not being sure. My life would also be different because I would have better grades.
Life without procrastination would also be great because I would also be able to help my mom more. Also, removing this from my life will give me chance to start doing better. By that I mean that I would do things I wouldn't have because I had procrastinated. Also, not procrastinating would help me better my grades because I would do more studying and extra credit in order to pass my failing classes. Procrastination is the area in my life that I hope to change and a habit I hope to let go of.
7. The message that the poem and video hold matter to me because they influenced the way I should be living. It influenced my way of viewing my life because I realized that at the end of the day it really is me who gets affected for my actions. I am the only one who is also responsible for the things that happen to me. Also, this influenced my point of view because I now know to put my all into everything I do and to start leaving all my bad habits because I also want to win in life. Being a winner brings success and success brings happiness something we all want.
I can apply these principles to my life to make it better by seeing the positive things I bring. I can also apply these concepts to my life by keeping in mind that what I do now creates what I will be doing in the future. I also have to realize that everyone wants to be successful but that only the ones that actually work for success get success. These principles are also useful in my life because they teach me that I might lose it all in the long run but if I stop being average I will win more things. Also, I have to keep in mind that positivity and acknowledging my failures will only help me strive for the better.
1. Video watched and Notes are taken
ReplyDelete2. Based upon my experience this means to me that the amount of effort you give to towards life is the same amount of effort that you are going to get in return. The kind of life you live in is the kind of life that you build for yourself and that's the kind of life that you are going to be living in that's why you have to give a hundred percent in life you are going to live a life full of wonder and a life full of greatness. That's why you need to know who are and what you want to also the kind of reality that you want to live in the way that you don't want your life to turn out.
3. The quote and the poem are similar because it talks about who you are and the life that you want and how you want your life to turn out. They are similarities that the share is the kind where they both about how no one wants to live an average life because they want to live a life full of greatness. They are different because the poem talks about knowing who you are and what you want to do and what your goals for the future is. while the video talks about whether you are a gladiator or not and how you live in the kind of world that you build. The video goes more about how the reality that you live is the one that you built. It also talks about that every decision that you make you live with that decision that you made. The more you keep being average you will lose your house, family, and your job.
4. The video and the poem are that are saying that in order to be able to know what you want to do or be for the future. The poem is mostly talking about having confidence in who you are and the abilities and many possibilities that you can perform but in order to do that you have to be willing to build your skills with greatness not with average effort because whenever you make the decision to put in an average effort you destroy your it without knowing that you are building a reality that you are going to live with for your life. The more you build your life based on average effort the more you lose the things that you care about and the harder it will be for you to get them back and the more you will live in regret for never been able to give it your full effort because nobody likes been average that's why you have to work hard enough to build a reality that you would want to live in.
Delete5. The area of my life that I would like to change is the part of me lacking enough motivation and the abilities to do something when needed to. I need to change the part of me that doesn't act accordingly as to when it is important that's why I want to be able to be motivated about things that matter and be willing to do whatever it is and be able to work hard enough to make sure that I prove them wrong and show them what I am capable of doing. I need to get over the habit of being too relaxed when it comes to important matters and be able to control myself on certain matters when necessary and I tend to work hard to be able to make up for what lacking and build the kind of reality that I want to live in.
6. Unfortunately, I am not sure what it would look like if I changed this area of my life but I do guarantee that it would help me a lot especially regarding school work. I think that it will make be able to work efficiently and not get distracted by my surrounding which will help me complete my work a lot faster and do everything that I have to do and still have free time to do whatever that I wanted to do. I wouldn't be too lazy when it comes to working or doing anything for that matter.
Also as to how I am not sure to how this would look I am sure that it will be a huge change to the way that I live my life. I know that if I were to change in those areas I know that I would use that opportunity to do what I have always wanted to do and accomplish something and it will help know who I am better because in order to get to know yourself better you would have to know who you are and your abilities to deal with certain situations.
7. This message in the video and the poem matters to me because I am interested in finding out more about myself and to accomplish dream without losing hope and knowing that I have what it takes to make it reality I wouldn't give up no matter what because even if I failed at doing knowing that I gave it my best would help me feel less regretful about it later on in the future. I will pursue greatness with my own hands and hope to achieve something out of it. To learn from my mistake and create something never done before with my own talent and abilities without doubting myself and having confidence that I can do it.
I can apply these principles to make my life better by giving everything a 100 percent. I can also apply this to my life because it is important to know that every shortcut that you take in life you are destroying your life while you are it. we are not a victim of our own circumstance but rather we are a product of our effort because we are the sum total of the decisions that we made in the effort that you put for. If I know that I don't like something that I have to do something about it, I have to be able to dominate whatever pain that I feel knowing that if I don't like the way my life is I should fix it.
1. Video/Notes
ReplyDelete2. Based on my experience the video means that to live a phenomenal life you have to put in great effort. It means that the effort i put into things is what my outcome will be. Also that if i put average effort into my future life it will most likely be average.
3. Well, the poem and video are similar because they both talk about your strengths. They are also similar because they both talk about your ability to make your life great.They are also similar because they both talk about how we are all unique and that we all have the ability to make choices. Whether those decisions are good ones or bad ones. The poem and video differ because the poem talks about how we are all on the path to greatness. The video talks about how we all need to get on the path to greatness for a better life. The similarities that the poem and video both share would be that they both are talking about who we are as people and how we strive for greatness by changing certain parts in our life to make it better.
4. The message in the poem is that we are all different. That are differences are what makes us unique. The messages meaning is that as people we are born to do something in life. That god put us on earth for a purpose and to use our talents and abilities to find that purpose. The videos message would be that the effort in which you put in something is what you will receive. That if you do something and give it your 120% that something will be done to the best of your ability and you will know that and succeed.
5. The area in that life in which i would like to change is my social life. The part of my life where i surround myself with people. That will either help me in the future or not effect it in any way at all.
6. If i actually changed my social life i imagine my future being filled with opportunities. I imagine my future being filled with opportunities because the people that i associate with will help me. The people will help me by being there if i ever need a favor. Having a social life will help me with getting connections. For example, if i have a friend who becomes CEO of his own company and he owes me a favor i will have a safety job just encase i need one.
7. The message in the video matters because if i put all my effort into something my outcome will most likely be a good one. That if i don't put in all of my effort my outcome will not be good. That if put in all my ability into something my outcome will be great. The message in the poem matters because we all need to know that we are all different. That we were put on earth with a purpose. To use are talents and ability to find that purpose.
I can apply the principals to make my life better by knowing that i am unique. By knowing that god put me here on earth with a purpose that i must find. That the effort in which i put into something is what my out outcome will be. That if put all my effort into something my outcome will be great. That i should be thankful for having the ability to learn from my mistakes.
ReplyDelete2.Based upon my experience this means that everything I do now is basically gonna set me up for how I live my life. If I take short cuts or do half the work , that's the type of person I'll be in the future. It may also make me have to work harder than i needed to if i mess up now. I can either start doing what I should be doing , but if i don't then I'm just building myself up for failure and there's no one to blame but myself because these are the choices I've made.
3. The video and poem are similar by both talking about if you do great in everything you do then you will succeed. They both say if you know you are doing great , if you know not to make these mistakes you are gonna have a good life . They differ because the poem talks about how a person KNOWS they are doing great in life, they know they are going down a great path, they know their mistakes.The video talk about how someone who was great started to do things is a shorter manner. they stopped working as hard, the cared less, they didn't think it would affect them. All the mistakes and wrong decisions they decided to take caused them to build a bad home for themselves just because they though it wouldn't affect them. It talked about how you shouldn't take short cuts, you shouldn't put only have of your effort, you should always put in your full effort. The video goes into great detail of all the mistakes you shouldn't do , what you should avoid and the poem just says how someone's life looks like because they are doing everything the way they should be.
4. The message of the video and the poem is: the life you live in the future or at the moment , all has to do with the choices you have made. All the effort you put into the things you do will determine a lot in your life. You live the life you deserve , which is the life you create for yourself. Reality is, if you decide that you want to take shortcuts, Then your life will always be a struggle.If you half do your work in your job, then most likely you will earn half of what you could've if you would have done your work in the first place. You may not like what you get in return , but it's what you give that will determine what you will receive
5. The main thing i would like to change is my laziness.My laziness is why i don't do my work , which isn't a good thing at all.
6. If I actually change this in my life , everything would be so much better. My work would be done. I would be getting better grades in my classes. I would have so many things accomplished that I always dreamed of doing. There's opportunities I could have taken , or did take , but didn't take the full advantage because I did not want to do my work. I could be in homeschooling. I could have been traveling the world. I could have been doing something I enjoy now instead of waiting like you have to do for other professions. i wouldn't be writing this at this moment. I could have been possibly
7.I can apply the principles to my life because I have the hobby of never giving myself credit for the things I am accomplishing. I am my own person, I know who I am and what my intentions are, I should give myself credit for the things I am on my way to accomplishing. The bad things that I do not like in my life, I need to stop ignoring them because it is my life and I am the one who is living it.The type of effort I put in will also be the outcomes I get. When I am doing something, I need to be my own boss and pretend it is for someone else, that will push me more to get better results.
-PART 1-
ReplyDelete2. This means that you are in control of your success and you also have to take responsibility. For example, if you are in school and failing a class, you can't just blame the teacher. You have to look at the errors you did so you can fix them and you also have to realize that the effort you put in is reflected by the grade that you get.
3. The video and the quote are similar because both talk about decisions. The video says at the end that you will have to live with whatever decisions you make. If you choose a certain option over another, then just know that you will live and deal with whatever you chose. Similar to the quote when it says that, "I will acknowledge my failures," meaning that if you made a bad decision, you have to own up to it and live with whatever choice you made. The video and the quote are different because the video uses literal analogies to show life's effort and choice represented in a house. If you give more than 100% effort and make good choices in life, you will get a nice and fine house and vice versa. Whereas the quote takes more of figurative stance on the subject and also makes sure to acknowledge that you are worthy and great no matter what the end result is.
4. The video is saying that you have to build up what you want in life. He gave the analogy that Les Brown came up in one of his motivational speeches. Les Brown was saying that you have to know what you want, and build it from the ground up just like a house. You have to use all of the resources around and give your best effort because in the end, whatever effort you gave out and whatever decisions you made; you will have to live with them for the rest of your life. In the quote, it is saying that you will have to use your talents and abilities to your advantage. You are on your own road to riches and you decide what will happen. No matter what happens, just acknowledge your mistakes and know that you are still a great person.
5. I would like to make a change to my social life. I want to do this because it seems non existent compared to my peers who are always doing things on the weekend and getting invited to parties and gatherings. And then there's me, where I spend my weekend with my dad or at home doing homework or relaxing.
-PART 2-
ReplyDelete6. If I were to actually change my social life it would be a lot different than now. Instead of waking up on that Saturday morning, and clean. or do homework. I would call up my friends and see what the plans are for that day. Then we would have plans and go out to so something. We would go to the mall or the park or the movies. Then when it's a Saturday night, I would usually be reading or cleaning, or doing more homework. But if I had this different life style, I would call some people and which party I will be attending or whose house am I going to for the slumber party.
My "social life" now consist of my on the weekends doing school related stuff, or hanging out with my mom, or relatives. Some would consider that "social" because you're going out. But not me when it’s only family and it is the same couple of things each week. I don't get invited to parties or asked to hang out very often by peers. And if I do, then I most likely can't go because I have plans with family, or other school related things that need to be taken care of.
7. The message in the video and the poem matter because they are encouragement. The video encourages you to give all of the effort that you have and more. When you are giving this effort, it allows you to see the bigger picture and make decisions. These decisions can either make or break or goal, dream, or vision and you will have to live with that. Then the poem lets you know that you will need to take responsibility for your actions. Even though you may have failed a few times, or you may have not got the results you wanted, you are still a unique person who will continue to do great things.
I can apply these concepts to my life to make it better by giving all I have in no matter what I do. Whether it is in school, relationships, family, or even helping out a neighbor. I will need to give all I have and more to get to where I want to be in life. And if somewhere along the way, I mess up. I can't just blame others for a mistake I consciously made. I have to own it to it and say, "Yes, while I may have failed this time, I won't quit, and I won't label myself as a failure. I will go even harder and try other strategies." By doing this I am allowing myself to know that I am not perfect, no one is, and that is okay. But I'm still a unique and special person, and for the fact that I tried my best is all that truly matters because I am still on my road to greatness.
