quote 10

“If you do not stand for something, you will fall for everything.”

                This quote is saying how if you do not believe in anything or have any values for your self then you will easily give into peer pressure and get your self on the wrong path. You have to set some boundaries for yourself or you won’t get anywhere you have to believe in something. Say for instance you do not have a religion if someone comes up to you and tries to persuade you into it, you could be more easily manipulated because you don’t already stand for a religion that you believe in. Also say you are just starting high school and you are finding new friends. If all your friends go to parties and drink and do other things like that if you have no boundaries for yourself you can get to caught up in that stuff and lose yourself in it. You cant just live your life with no beliefs because it will get you no where if you don’t believe in anything you will not have any motivation and you will most likely not do very well in school because you don’t have any motivation to do it. People that have strong beliefs and strong values will do better in life because there are more driven to get goals and accomplishments done. Everyone has their own set of values. As long as you have some kind of values and beliefs it is better then not having any.

quote 9

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who'll decide where to go.”

I thought this was a good quote to do with graduation coming up in 8 days! Only you can decide what you are going to do with your life and if you are going to be successful or not. After high school is when the real world starts you are going to have to make your own decisions without your parents guidance. Also you are going to have to start college which is helping you study for the career you are going to do for the rest of your life. People can try and help you succeed but in the end the decision is up to you. So make sure that you make wise ones that will help you out in later years. Make sure that you don’t start hanging around with the wrong kind of people and make sure that you focus on yourself because hanging out with those kind of people is only hurting yourself. After high school is a lot of responsibility that you have to take on so make sure that you are ready to do it and make sure that you do not make any stupid decision that will effect you for the rest of your life. That is why I like this quote because it is so true.

quote 8

“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment”

this quote is a great quote to live by because it is telling you not to concentrate on what you have done in the past on not to worry about what you are going to do in the future just concentrate on what you are doing in the present and that will help you do well in the future. If you are always thinking about the past and what you have done then you have no time to concentrate on what is going on right now and that will end up affecting your future. You just have to take everyday one at a time and concentrate on what you are doing now. Also if you are always worried about what is going to happen in the future then once again you are not concentrating on what is happening in the present and you will become unfocused and nothing good will happen from that. If you just focus on what is happening in front of you right now and do the best that you can at the school work or jobs that you need to do it will help you succeed later on in life. You will get a lot farther in life if you just concentrate on what you are doing now and not dwelling on what you have done. If you follow this quote you will go farther in life.

quote 7

“you cant rush perfection.”

This quote means that you cant just start something and be good at it right a way it takes a lot of time and practice to become really good at something. It also takes a lot of effort to to become good at something. For instance if you start to do a sport like baseball you are not going to automatically be good at it and get a lot of homeruns and pitching well if you have no experience in doing it. You have to go to practice atleast twice a week and work hard at getting better at it. Same with competitive cheerleading basket ball and all kinds of sports. No boody is born good at something you have to work at it and do your best to make your self better. If you continue to do that you will eventually do well in that sport. Things do not come fast in life you have to work at them. This doesn’t just apply to sports it also applies to many other things like school work. You can not be a good student if you don’t do any of your homework and if you don’t study for your tests. You have to try to do well in school or you will not get very far. This is a very good quote to live by it explains that nothing will come easily to you and that you have to work at it. I like this quote a lot.

quote 6

"Those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind."

This quote is a good quote to live by because it is very true. You shouldn’t worry so much about what people think about you because if they don’t like you they are not important. The people that are important to you do not judge you for who you are they like you for you and you do not have to change anything. Those kind of people are the type of people that you should surround yourself with. They will be there for you no matter what. They will always have your back. Don’t even pay attention to the people that are judging you. They are not important.  Just keep that in mind the next time that someone is mean. They don’t matter you have plenty of other people around you that care. Not everyone you come across is going to be your biggest fan.  But you just have to let that go and not let it bother you. Everyone is different and no body is perfect. Just remember the people that are most important to you will not judge you and like you for the way that you are and will not want you to change anything about yourself. As long as you do the same to your friends and not judge them for who they are they will do the same thing to you and the rest of the people in the world are not going to matter any more. That’s what I get from reading this quote.

quote 5

"the best way to gain acceptance, is to accept yourself first."

I find this quote to be very true if you do not accept yourself for who you are how do you expect any one else around you to? No one wants to be around a person that is so insecure about them self that all they do is complain and it starts to make them feel down about themselves too. You have to be confident in who you are it will make everything so much easier. Once you have accepted yourself and know who you are then it will be easier for others to accept you too. No one is perfect and everyone has their insecurities but if you learn to deal with them things will become a whole lot better in every way possible. Everyone is different in their own way and that is what makes you special so don’t be insecure about it. Just live your life the best that you can and people will accept you for you. Life is too short to be living in the dark and being worried about what everyone thinks so stop worry about everyone else and just worry about the person that you are and be confident in yourself and everyone around you will accept you. Accepting yourself makes you gain confidence and having confidence makes you feel good about yourself and everyone around you will feel good too. I love this quote because it is a good quote to go by.

quote 4

" Trying to be someone that your not is a waste of the person that you are."

I love this quote because it is telling you to just be yourself. Everyone is unique in their own different way and if you are just trying to fit in and be like everyone else it is a waste of the great personality that you probably have. If somebody does not like that way that you are its okay because there are probably plenty of people that do like you for who you are. Don’t waste your time trying to make everybody like you just be yourself and be happy for who you are and all of the friends and family that you already have. If you are always trying to impress everyone and acting different then who you really are they don’t really like you for you and what is the point in that that is just being a fake person. Chances are when you act yourself and be real with everyone more people are going to like you and you will be much happier and more confident in yourself. You should just have fun and be yourself and ignore all the people that don’t like your personality because there are probably plenty of people that do. This is a great quote that I like to go by. As long as you are being yourself and not being fake you will be a much happier person and many things will work out the way you want them to.
