Success


“I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. Michael Jordan


People don't succeed on things the first time, it takes practice. Michael Jordan is an idol for many young athletics boys who play basketball. Fans believe that he is perfect and should not have to practice, yet in order to succeed at what he does; he must fails a few times. The skill is to actually learn from your mistakes and improve yourself.  We are always asking celebrities or athletes’ what is the secret behind there success, but there is no secret. Its called hard work, everyone must work to get to where they are now in life. Some more successful than others, but that’s basically determined by a persons work ethic and determination.
People who are determined to strive and succeed are the people that reach there goals. Then why do people have people have talents? They really don’t, its something they have probably worked at and dedicated there time to. Michael says people have left there hopes of winning the game, and he’s let them down. It can happen to anyone, were all human. The only thing that sets us apart from others is heart.  Failing isn’t what make a man a coward, not getting up from the fall is.

Everyone is a Poet

" At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet" -Plato
If you have ever felt an act of affection, you know this quote is true. When people are in love they will say the most beautiful things to one another, trying to explain to each-other what it is they feel. Sometimes word are not enough to explain there feelings. For example when Romeo and Juliet were pouring there hearts out by the balcony, going back and forth until Romeo could no longer contain himself and he finally climbed up the vines and went to her, that was an action that can only be explained poetically.

Lost Time

 " Lost time is never found again" -Benjamin Franklin

The quote is perfectly compacted, and with such few words; rich in meaning. The quote is pretty much self-explanatory that its sort of a "duh, i knew that". Many people don't realize that time is precious and that every minute in our lives counts. We sometimes underestimate time and end up procrastination on doing our work and at the very last minute we realize that we will not have time to finish the task. I really think that if people used there time wisely they wouldn't have to worry later about finding the time to do something that should have been done earlier.

Beauty

"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring." Marilyn Monroe


To be beautiful doesn't mean being perfect, no one is perfect last time i checked. Quit looking to other people to make you look good, do it yourself - be the statement.  A person who is boring will not be remembered, they have to create a reason to be recalled in ones memory. Now that doesn't mean that people who don't act crazy are not remembered. I just believe that we remember the people who are more unique than others, setting themselves apart from a crowed. People can do this in many ways for example: an outfit, a hairstyle, personality, talent etc.. But if a person is even afraid to show there personality on the surface, what makes us think they'll show whats on the inside.? Be your self, act a little crazy here and there; no one is going to remember us, unless we give them a reason to be remembered.
Now there's those certain people who do not want to be remembered, feeling its unnecessary because they don't want to end up being a stereotype. But people are remembered for good things and bad things (lets just hope there mostly good), no one is going to care later on in life. Be yourself  from the beginning, your beautiful the way you are.
