Knowledge And Money

Knowledge And Money

Adam Cooper and Bill Collage once said together “You don’t need fancy highbrow traditions or money to really learn. You just need people with the desire to better themselves”. I take this quote by looking at it like if people really want to learn they need the will to keep going instead of just buying their way in. Smart people like Albert Einstein for instant didn’t buy his knowledge he had it and actually went with his knowledge and invented and became the smartest guy alive and then became rich because of his knowledge. He didn’t give money to someone to make him the riches man alive he became it on his own will. By them saying they need people to desire to better themselves means people need to be willing to go through the sacrifices and have the courage to go to school and study. They need the motivation from their family to keep going. They need someone to push them forward and not let them slack off. If they are alone nothing will get done.

In my case my family motivates me to do good in school. They want me to become successful in life. They want me to go to college and have a stable career in my life when I am older. They don’t want me to struggle. Every time something good happens in school they congratulate me and say to keep going and never give up. I think this is what every kid needs they need someone to believe in them to do better. If no one encourages them to keep going they either drop out or start failing all their classes, which sucks. I believe all kids should do good in school and actually try because your education is everything in life. You really can’t go anywhere if you don’t have any kind of education. Again in my case I am strongly with having some education because it helps in the long road. I really like this quote because you don’t need money to be smart you just need to have the motivation. Yeah maybe you need to pay your way through college but that’s just to get it, you actually need your knowledge to actually stay in college because if your failing they will kick you out and their goes your money and education. So once again I feel like all you need is the courage and to actually believe in yourself to get through life the right way! (:

Marriage

George Bernard Shaw once wrote “You might have married him not because you loved him, but because you didn’t love anybody else. When one is young, one marries out of mere curiosity, just to see what its like’. I feel this quote very strong because I agree. Teens now and days are getting pregnant and getting married as if it is the new trend. These girls and guys don’t know what they are getting themselves into. I feel like they are just doing it to see how it really is to get married or have a “family”. At this age guys don’t want to have a family already they want to have fun with friends and go out and just enjoy their youth or college life for instant. Most guys now in days and I’m not saying all of them but majority they leave their girlfriends. It is like a new trend going around town. It is not a good thing but it is the truth and it is very sad because it takes two to get pregnant or get married. Most girls and guys get married because they have to or because their parents are making them. So by Mr. Shaw saying that one marries out of curiosity it is true! They want to see how “real life is”.

The way I see things is that it is not right. I plan to have a family one day but that is not until the future and when I am ready. Not because I want to see how it feels. My sister for instant got married and pregnant at a young age and she tells me that her life isn’t what I want. She tells me she is happy about everything but if she could go back in time she would and would’ve waited a little longer to start a family. Seeing her makes me not want to do something dumb like that. I want to live my life to the fullest. Make mistakes and travel, see different parts of the world, and learn new things. When I see a really young girl with a ring on her finger it gets me sad because she hasn’t really lived her life. She basically planned the rest of her life and it is sad. I hope that this doesn’t happen to my little cousin because I want her to learn new things and just live her life to the fullest.

Future!

Future

Albert Einstein once said “I never think of the future- it comes soon enough”. I think what Albert Einstein is trying to say is that he never looks ahead in time he lives in the moment. I really agree! I feel like in order to live and enjoy your life take it one day at a time. Don’t talk about your future and how you want it to turn out. Live and see how it turns out. God will make your life just the way you want it you just have to live the right way. I really like this quote. I am a true believer in taking one day at a time. I feel like if you try to plan out your future your just going to be stressed out the whole time and you will miss out on the important fun things. People say that they have a stressful life that nothing goes their way. Maybe because they try to plan everything out or they just see the hard in things instead of seeing how it really is.

My opinion about this quote is that I agree. I feel like people don’t go with the flow. I feel like people shouldn’t worry a lot about the same thing over and over again it’s not worth it. They are just missing out. As for me what I do is I go with the flow. I don’t worry about what I’m going to be doing 20 years from now that is my future. It is called the “future” for a reason. If it was meant to happen right now it would’ve happened already. I don’t stress about what is going to happen or if I’m going to be married or materialistic things because I know that I will have that one day if its truly meant to be. If I dream to big and my dream doesn’t come true what happens now? I get disappointed and sad? Or maybe even mad? Why do I need to put myself in that position if I can be happy with the people I love. This is why I strongly agree with this quote. By Albert Einstein saying it comes soon enough is true because the future is coming. If you think about it today was the future of yesterday and look how fast it went by. Time flies really fast. Things happen and all you have to do is keep moving forward and living in the moment. (:

Happiness

Happiness 

Albert Schweitzer once said a while ago “Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory”. Do you really think it’s really based on one memory? My thoughts about this quote were that I think this isn’t a true statement. I feel like your happiness isn’t only based on one memory it is based on all your memories. For instant if you’re sad about something most people (not all people) remember one good memory that they had and that makes them smile. This one memory might be the one that Albert Schweitzer was talking about in his quote but for people it might not be that only one memory. It might be a bunch of memories. Most people have different ways of seeing things. By him saying bad memory I really cant figure out why he would say that because a bad memory wont make you happy wouldn’t it make you sad and you wouldn’t want to remember that memory? Everyone has different opinions on this quote.

In my point of view I have a lot of memories that give me happiness. When I’m down I just remember all the fun times I had in my life. I try to block out the bad memories and bring in the good ones. I have a very unique personality. I see things the way I like to see them. I don’t care what people have to say about me or the way I look or even my personality because at the end of the day all that stuff doesn’t matter. So for that quote I think it is true that you need good health because that takes you a long way but as for the memory I feel like you need more then one good memory to help you out once in a while. My friends have a big impact on my memories because without them I wouldn’t even have any memories. I picked this quote because it signifies a lot to some people. Memories go a long way with people. If you think about it you can still remember fun times you had with cousins, friends, family, etc when you were a youngster. You actually remember every single detail that happened at that moment. You remember because you had an amazing time at that moment and you love remembering everything about it. My memories are exactly like that happy and I always remember how fun that moment was and how I got to share it with the people I love. (:
