  2. 1. When you set a goal to yourself , you will suffer within all the work you put in .At the end you will achieve it and you will survive


    2. After reading the quote , based upon my experience this means that If I keep up my grades this year , sophomore year and junior and senior year . I will have luck to get a scholarship or something in return for what I have done .


    4. The video and quote are similar because they both talk about luck and the significance of it . In the quote , it teaches us that if you do something good , something in return is going to be good . Same thing in the video if you work for something you will get it done . Also they differ by expressing the luck topic in a different way . At the end it gives a lesson .

    5. This matters because it taught me to be positive because If I am everything I do and around me would be positive . Too add on , I will apply this to my life by making a to do list . This will lead too myself having my mind open and control of the things I will be doing .It will be my attitude over attitude , and it would be a good attitude .The reason I say this is because If I have a bad attitude over everything , I will get no where in life . \

    To continue , I will make these good vibes , make me be someone in the world . If i fail I will get back up .One thing i know for-sure is that without struggles there is no progress done .So I will work for it and apply everything I learn in the class to become a very successful person . As you can see , I will have luck a the end within all positive and great things I will be doing .

      "I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it. "
      ~Thomas Jefferson

      Based on what happen in the video about eric thomas he said that you couldn't be on autopilot.
      When you're on autopilot cruise mode is bad for you because mostly you're taking a quick break in life. Stop taking it smoothly and do it the right way.
      How the video and the quote is similar by eric thomas is because there's probably other people who did it. They differ by don't the right thing and not the wrong thing. Staying on the right path the whole time.
      When thomas says “i'm a great believer in luck, and find the harder I work the more I have of it. When you want to change a concept to your life you have to change what matter. Like you cant’ find luck because your not a leprechaun.
      You don’t have to wear green to find luck you can make your own luck. Luck will proably happen if you can do it yourself. You can apply yourself to make your life more better.
      You can apply the video to your daily life by doing what Eric Thomas said. By doing the right thing instead of dumb things. Luck are for leprechauns not for people.

  5. 1. This quote is about Thomas Jefferson and his belief in luck. He feels that if we works harder we will have more luck in our lives.

    2. Based on my experience with luck, I feel like this quote means that If I work harder in life then I will have more luck. It is sort of like how good karma works. If you do good, good things will return to you but in this case, if you work hard you will gain more and more luck.

    3. Cornell Notes

    4. The video and quote are similar because they are both about how luck works. The quote is about how hard work pays off with more luck brought upon you. The video talks about workingh hard to make the rest of your life the best that it can possibly be. However, the differ because one focuses on how luck actually works and the other is about how luck does not really count and effect everything. The quote focuses more on how Thomas Jefferson believed how luck comes from hard work and the video talks about getting your out of autopilot and how you can not sit back and wait for things to happen.

    5. Ultimently this matters because it shows us that we can not just sit back and wait for good things to happen. Our dreams and goals are on overdrive and we do not have the time to waste to put our lives into autopilot. Eric Thompson states that we need to get out of cruise control and get in control of our lives. Luck is helpful, yes, but we can not just wait for luck to come around and find us. As the title of the video states, "Luck is for Leprechauns and you ain't Green."
    There are multiple ways that I can apply this to my life to make it better. I can use it in my school work, things I need to do at home in my own personal life and basically in everything else I do. I can the procrastination on doing my homework because now I know that waiting for it to eventually happen is not the answer. I need to get my own life off of autopilot because it is holding me back from a lot things because I am justwaiting for the good thing to happen. I need to start being proactive.
    Another way I can apply this to my life is by having the right attitude about things. A while ago I saw a this quote that said "Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it." I feel that this is very similar to what E.T was stating in the video. If I see a problem in a bad and negative way it is going to be a bad and negative thing. If I just start to see it in a positivive way then maybe it won't seem as bad as it actually is.

    1. "I believe greatly in luck, I also find that if you work hard enough that's its more than you have to you have it more."
    2.What the quote means is that if you work hard enough that you really want it you will get it more. Meaning you don't have to rely on luck you have to rely on yourself to work harder than you want it.
    4.The video and quote are similar because they both talk about luck. That you can't rely on luck because luck doesn't exist. You have to work hard enough and you have to rely on yourself. Rely on yourself because its your dream to accomplish not anybody else's. They differ because they both do give different perspectives into what they are trying to tell you. They focus on different things but mean the same thing when trying to give you the message.
    5.This matters because you ca't just be chilling like if you have auto pilot on your life and your not even doing nothing. You and only you have the power to control your dream. You can't have your life on auto pilot and have someone or something else do it for you cause once it fails your responsible for those a actions and you have to start all over on your dreams and life goals. You can't give up either. Don't quit and do't be on auto pilot cause if your not in control of what you are doing to achieve your life goals then what's the point in achieving something you can't handle yourself.
    Be the bigger person and most likely be the person that's in control of your life goals. If you rely on luck you never going anywhere in life. This is really important because if you rely on something that can give up on you instantly then what good is that? If you let's say you are sick and you don't go to school and you missed two test, a pop quiz in biology and an essay in English, what are you gonna do ? You can't just be on auto pilot and let it slide cause you were not there. You can't just rely on luck and hope that a miracle would save you into not doing your work. Keep it real, be the bigger person and say you missed it and do it. If you rely on other things beside yourself where are you heading in life with that Have a right attitude, accomplish your goals and achieve whatever your shooting for.Cause if you won't, then who will ?

  8. 1.) In my own words, I'd summarize the quote said by Thomas Jefferson as, the only way to gain luck is to work harder.

    2.) Based upon my experience, the quote said my Thomas Jefferson means that luck is just all a mental thing. In order to be 'lucky', you must work hard. What I mean by 'work hard' I mean, staying up all night to give your best, and work harder than you're capable of.

    4.) The video and the quote are similar because they both refer to luck. They are also similar cause E.T explains in the video that without hard work, luck wouldn't exist. The quote said by Thomas Jefferson explains that you'll gain more luck by working hard. The message behind the quote and the video also differ because Thomas Jefferson says he believes in luck, and you must work hard to be"lucky". E.T states in the video that a lucky person is just a mask of a hardworking person who gives their best.

    5.) I can apply the theme of the quote and the video to my life in many ways. The theme inspires me to try harder in life, even though all I'd want to do is quit. Another reason why I can apply the theme to my life is I used to always believe that some people where just born lucky. Although, now I see it in a different perspective. Now I see the only reason those people were 'born lucky', is because of all the hard work and dedication they put to reaching their goals in life. I can also apply the message to my life because it motivates me to not compare other peoples success to mine, because if I want to really succeed, I'd work ten times harder than how I've worked before.

    The message or theme given from the video and the quote matters because it tells people the truth. The truth is, not many people are lucky, they just worked hard and pushed themselves to succeed. People wont be lucky unless they work hard, and work higher than their potential. Luck isn't a blessing sent down to earth for people to feed off of. Luck is earned by people who work hard, and prove to others that they can accomplish their goals. Luck is all about accomplishing your goals and believing you can accomplish anything in life.

  9. I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work

    the more I have of it. ~Thomas Jefferson

    I think what the the quote is trying to say is if you have a little luck that you will be able to success-ed in life's challenges.

    This is trying to say don't give up and keep fighting your Life's challenges and your can concur it.

    The video and the quote are similar Buy if you work hard and harder you'll success-ed and also people are not LEPRECHAUNS ! This matters because people get greed for living and not dyeing so they say their very lucky so the rely on GREED.GREED is not a good thing to rely on because GREED can lead to selfishness and you can lose friends and family, So Dont REly on greed kids.

  10. 1. Be a deep believer in luck and if you work up to full potential
    you will continue to have more luck. Working hard will allow you to have more luck in the future.
    2. Based upon my experience, this quote means that if I work extremely hard and manage all my work as they need to be managed, I will have luck in the future for my positive work. It also means that if I don't try and I give up easily, I will not have luck in gneral.
    4. The video and the quote are similar because in the video he was explaining how you can have luck for being a great worker, in the quote it is expressing that if you believe in luck and work for it, luck will come about in your liufe. They are different because in the video eT is saying that luck isn't given to you for good work and staying productive, in the quote it is stating that if you work hard and do the right thing, luck will come your way more often. Another way they are similar is because they both try to give you confidence to be the bvest at what you do.
    5. Ultimately this matters to me because in life I have wanted a great amount of luck to be a winner and I have realized that luck isn't givent, it is basically earned. It also matters to me because in life you shouldn't do good things to recieve something in return, you should work hard to be a better person. Life is short and the way you come about it should be positive because you never know what hardships will come your way. Believing in luck wil give you the confidence to feel rewarded for your good work. People always expect something from someone when they act kindly and do something nice. It matters because you shouldn't need luck to realize you need to do the right thing.
    I can apply this concept to my life because in certain scenarios I have wanted people to give me something in return for doing the right thing. Life doesn't work that way and I should do the right thing no matter what, even if I don't get anything in return. I have helped someone when they needed me and when I needed them, they didn't help me so I expected it in return. I can apply this to my life to make it better because luck is important and I have prayed to recieve something I needed for doing something good for someone. It opens my eyes to believe in luck, but not to abuse it, work for it.

  11. 1)You will never achieve anything in life unless you take action. Don't blame your lack of "luck" for not accomplishing something because there is no such thing as luck. There is only ever hard work and determination.

    2) Based upon my experience this quote means to me that i need to start taking action and stop waiting for things to come to me. I need to be the one who's going forward in life and approaching my success. I shouldn't let myself wait around for success to come to me.

    3)The video and the quote are similar in the way that they both expain that luck isnt real, luck is hard work. What i mean by this is that in order to be more lucky to achieve the goals you set yourself out to do you need to work hard at them yourself. And the reason you need to do this is so you have a better chance and opportunity to succeed in your goals. They differ in the way that the quote is explaining to the reader that the luck is really within you. The video is explaining to the viewer that luck dose not exist, so do not blame lack of luck on your failures in life.

    5) All in all this quote matters and is important for everybody to know.My reasoning's behind this are that most people usually are only imagining and dreaming of the things they want in life. They believe that if they wish and hope hard enough their wish will come true. But that's not how it works in life. Those people (myself included) need to finally realize that the only way to make those dreams and wishes come true is by your own hard work.We need to understand that good thing's don't just come to people, its the matter of people striving to go to those good things. And I believe that once those people (Me) realize this truth,We will ALL work hard and actually push ourselves to turn those thought's and dreams into reality.I can apply this message into my life by asking myself, am i pushing myself to my goals, Am i taking a step into the right direction?. Or am i in the same position i was in when i told my self all the things that i wanted to accomplish? This message opens my eyes to the reality that life isn't some Disney movie. I can't just wish on a star and hope that wish comes true. I need to be the star. I need to be the one who not only wishes, but finishes. Its my story and i need to be the one in control.

    1) I believe in luck a lot,working for what I want just gets me to better places. Working for what you want makes you feel better.
    2) Based on my experience this means working for what you want gets you further in life. If you just sit and wait you get no where in life. You can't sit around all day waiting for something to happen.
    4) The video and quote are similar in many way. You can't just say," Man. Shes so lucky". Shes not lucky, she actually worked towards what she wanted. The video is different from the quote because the video is more inspiring. In my opinion, watching something is better than reading it. That's how the video and quote differ.
    5) Ultimately this matters and apply's to my life in various ways. I just sit around waiting for something to happen. I've had this problem my entire life and I need to overcome it. Don't depend on other people on something you can do in the matter of seconds. It makes my life better because instead of waiting and wanting, I can go for it and do it. Life is short and making the most out of it is all you can do.
    People always expect something from someone. I personally think your throwing your life away by doing that. You can say you want something all you want but at the end of the day who's ultimately losing? We all only have one life and some day we won't be alive no more so the best thing for all of us is to just go for and accomplish it. Realizing what we have and how little we appreciate things makes accomplishing something for yourself way better.

  13. 1. Luck is not something you are born with. Luck is something you earn.

    2. Based upon my experience, whenever I work hard at something, I am lucky to be able to earn the experience from it. Also, luck is only a 50% chance. In the real world, a 50% is an F. If you depend on luck your whole life, you have a 50% chance of becoming a failure.

    4. The quote and video both state that you must work hard to achieve what you desire. The only difference is that the video states luck does not exist while the quote states that when you work hard, you will have more luck. Both the video and quote shows that luck is not something a person is born with. Everyone is born with the opportunity to make something out of themselves. The ones who take the chance and become successful are the lucky ones.

    5.This matters because it shows that everyone must work hard for what they want. You can't depend on luck and hope for a better future. You have to get out there and build the future that you want to live in. It is never going to be easy and there will always be failure. What makes the stronger individuals stand out from the weak ones is their ability to get up and try even harder.

    I can look back to this every time I want to depend my luck on something. There are people out there who want what I want and will work for it instead of depending on their luck. There are people out there who want it more than I do. I have to take that into consideration and use it to motivate me to become a more determined individual.

    1. Basically the harder you grind and the harder you work the closer you are to owning your goal and your dream. Doing nothing and being on auto-pilot won't get you anywhere and you wont be "lucky" at all. Losers lose and winners win.
    2. Upon my experience, the meaning of this quote is in great value because I have many goals and dreams that I would like to accomplish ad live. This quote is telling me that in order to get "lucky" I must train and work hard for as long as I can breath. And doing so will be hard but therefore I'll be "lucky" and always have that motivation in believing myself.
    4.The video and quote are similar because in the video it is saying that you have to take yourself off of auto-pilot and cruising and to get the most out of your life. And being on auto-pilot wouldn't match your goals and dreams. Have the right attitude and mind and you'll get "lucky". Believe in yourself and you'll get "lucky". However they also differ. In ways they differ are because of how the video is saying that it ain't about luck..you have to work for it and to not stop none-the-less.
    5. This matters very much because most people don't give their all. And it's like...this is your dream you know? Why aren't you giving everything you have to have your dream in your hands? Why aren't you putting sweat and tears into your dream? Because it's not going to be handed to you. You have to earn it, no breaks.
    Applying this to my life would be a helpful and positive thing to do. I say this because, as I said before, I have many dreams and goals. And their not easy goals you know? Working hard and NOT giving up is something many people struggle with because they don't have that mindset that believes in yourself and that tells you not to stop. I now have that mindset but I have had many tears and many doubts while getting it. I now fully believe in my strengths and abilities but this quote and video will inspire or motivate others for the same strive as well.

    This quote is saying that work will bring success and that it's your choice to believe if it's luck.

    I believe this quote means that work will normally give you more luck. The reason for this is because the harder you work then the better you are so the better your "luck" will be.

    The video and quote are slightly similar in my eyes. They're similar because both are saying that you can't wait for something good to happen or luck to find you. They're both saying to got off the couch and work hard so that you will have more "luck". These two quotes are different because one is just saying to work hard while the other is giving you ideas on how you can work and push yourself.

    This is very important because it means do something with life. the reason that's important is because people like me aren't doing anything real only work the minimum and stop. People, like myself, need to stop stalling and do something. I cant keep saying things, I actually need to go for them. Both the video and quote are saying to work harder and harder in order to succeed.

    I can apply this to my life by actually doing something. By shutting my mouth and showing what I want to do. I can apply this by doing what's necessary to get off auto pilot. What I can also do is not rely on anyone to carry me and to use my own work to get to my goals and then be able to rest for a bit. These are a few ways I can prove i put this to use in my life to make it better.

  16. 1. In my perspective, I think the quote is saying that the harder you work, the more you have it. You have to work hard in order to accomplish something you want. For example, your goals. You just do not have have luck. However you can earn that luck by working hard. Furthermore, when you work hard to succeed something you want, you can be sure to accomplish that because you worked hard. All in all, working hard is the key to completing your goals in life.
    2. Based on my experience, what this means to me is that in order to get something I want, I have to work hard for it. I have to finish what I started, so I can start something new. Furthermore, you cannot get something without working for it. Therefore, what this means to me is that I have to work hard to accomplish my dreams. For example, my experience with this, is when I play soccer. When I work hard and put effort into what I am doing, I am able to make the team.

    3. The quote and the video are similar by what they state. Both refer to the word luck. Luck is not something we normally have. We have to earned that luck by working hard and putting effort into what we are supposed to be doing. Therefore, we can have luck. They differ, by the quote explaining that the harder we work the more luck we will have. That is if we are a great believer in luck. Furthermore, E.T. explains that we have to be proactive and have the right attitude when we are doing what we love. If we really want to accomplish our goals, we have to work hard and pass obstacles along the way. Without struggles there is no progress. All in all, we have to take control of our life, to make the rest of out life, the best of our life.

    4. This matters because it teaches us a lesson in life. To get where we want to go, we have to take control of out life and work hard. Put as much effort as we can to make our life better. It is time for us to get up and go for our dreams. All that hard work, effort, sweat, and tears, will all pay off at the end when we are enjoying our life to its maximum. When we have finally accomplished our dreams. All in all, the main thing is that we have to take control of our life.
    To make my life better, I can apply these concepts by actually taking them serious. By doing what I am told and by going for my dreams. In my opinion, I have to be more active, need to make a to-do list, and start having the right attitude. Therefore, every single day, I will be a step closer to where I want to be. Furthermore, if I do not have these things then I am not going to progress nothing. I have to be able to focus on one thing at a time so I can progress.
    For example, I have many things I need to focus on. Therefore, I have to manage my time wisely because I have to focus on school work, piano, soccer, and my career. Nevertheless, I need to start making a to-do list every single day and manage my time. Furthermore, I will be able to accomplish and complete everything I need for the day. All in all, taking control of your life and having the right attitude is the key to be successful.

    1. What this quote is saying is that he is one of the best believers for the luck. And that the more they work, the get get from it.

    2. Based upon my experience, what this means to means to me is that the more hard work you do, the more knowledge your going to get from that working experience. Also this means that he believed in many things that gave him luck for everything.Also he was a man that was full of ideas and he had a big imagination.

    4. How the video and the quote are similar are that they both talk about how luck doesn't always happen for you. mostly all the time you need to work hard for what your trying to achieve. You cant just wait for things to happen by there own and for you to just sit watching. They both talk about how much hard work you need to put in. And also the more work you put in, the you will achieve with that. How they differ is that the video was talking about doing it for 21 days and then go back to what you were doing before. And the quote talks about your whole life.

    5. Why this matters is because this could help you in the future by motivating you to strive for your best. It can encourage you to never give up. Never think that people could always do the work for you and that you can just sit down and do nothing. I can also apply this to my life because people could sometimes tell you that you wont become anything important in life and then you will take the quote to make you brave for yourself. Never let anyone put you down and and make you feel weak.

    How I can apply these concepts into my life is that i could use this to stay away from the people that will bring me down. Instead i would ignore them and show them what i can do and do my best. If they say something to me then I will ignore them. Always strive for your best and stay away from all of the haters. Never stand down from anyone and never give up.

  18. 1.This quote is stating that the harder that you work for something that you really want the greater chance you have of achieving that personal goal of yours.Its saying that you have to work for what you want its not just a given.

    2.Based upon my experience this quote means that you have to show what you want and work for it.This means that you have to know what you want and strive towards it based on what i got from this quote.Also,this states that even if it is given to you you won't get the same effects of it.

    3.Cornell Notes

    4.The video and quote are similar because they both talk about how you have to can't sit back and wait for things to just happen to you.They also both talked about how you can't just sit back on auto pilot your whole life.These are both stating that hard work is key to entering success.These both are different because one is mainly talking about how you can't just let the thing be handed to you because it feels much grater to work for it(The Quote).Now the other is talking about mainly sleeping on yourself and not trying in general(The Video).

    5.This matters because to work for what you want is the biggest thing you can ever do in life that will make you succeed and not hold you back.This matters because you can adapt this concept into to your life and make it better by pushing yourself to the ultimate limit.You can push yourself to not put you effort on auto pilot.You can be Proactive and control the attitude that you put out in the world.

    In order to put this into your everyday life you have to put the right attitude on and believe in yourself to do the great and good.The way that we handle our self is we need to effort into what we do.We all started from the bottom and we need to make our way up to the top.I need to learn that its either a blessing or a lesson.And if its a lesson then I need to work towards it to make it a blessing and not just let it be.

    Now I put this into my life by not just letting stuff be but make it happen and work for it.I need to teach myself that stuff isn't just going to come to me because i have to work for it.I need to learn to work hard for what i want and make my dreams a reality, and not just sit around.

    1.I'm a great believer in luck, and the harder I work the more I have of it. To me it means that I believe in luck but the harder I work for things the more lucky I get.

    2.In my own experience this means that I believe in luck but the harder I work the more of it I get. that means that I believe in luck but luck isn't real. You work for every thing so you have better "luck" or you have a better chance to get what you're working for.

    4.The video and the quote or similar because they both talk about luck. the video and quote are different because they both talk differently about luck. In the quote is says that I am a believer in luck and I find that when I work hard I have more of it. In the video it says that luck is for leprechauns and you ain't green. By that being said it says that luck isn't real its just make believe, you work for everything in life the only luck there is in life is everything you work for.

    5. I can apply this to my life by stop believing in things to happen and make them happen. You have to work for everything in life, you can't just believe everything is going to come your way. Everything people have in life is either worked for or earned. So you can't wait around for things to happen you have to make it happen. If doing things were easy everyone would do it.
    This matters because if you wait for everything to come towards you , you'll get nothing. You'll get thing because everything in life is worked for. Nothing in life comes easy, you have to go through a battle every day with your own life. You can't just have things handed to you, that's not how life works everyone goes through the struggle of life. So there is no luck in life the only luck there is, is what you work for in life.

  21. 1) The quote," I'm great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it" by Thomas Jefferson talks about how there is luck but you have work harder to get more in life. There no easy shortcut in life. You need to take the long way, you need to have patience. The harder you work the more you get out of it.
    2) Base upon my experience, I think there is no luck whatsoever because this world isn't magical, it is reality. I need to work hard to get what I want in life. Yes, it is true what Thomas Jefferson said, the harder you work the more you have of it.
    4)the video and the quote are similar because you need to give effort on the work that you do to get what you what. without struggle there is no progress. Take control of your life and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. they differ because the quote doesn't say anything about taking control of your life. They also differ because the video of Eric Thomas says that you need to have the right attitude for the work.
    5)This matters because if don't work hard, you don't get what you what. it also matters because luck is nowhere to be found, you need to work hard. once you get what you what then hold on to it until you die. But you need to have a good attitude every single day, your actions defines who you are. this also matters, because you are wishing something good to happen to you but you're not physically doing it. meaning you are saying it but you are doing it. An example is that if you're wishing for good grades its not going to happen until you physically doing in it.
    i will apply this to my life by working hard to get what i what. I need to have to right adittude for the work that I need to put in.if it were easy then everyone would do it.dont anyone stop me. I will push to my limit and let no one stop me.

    1.In my own words this quote says that the harder you work the more luck you have.
    2.To me this quote means luck is real.To me it also means that the more work you do the more luck you will have.
    4.There are many ways the video and the quote are similar there is also a many y ways they are different.One way they are similar is because they both talk about working hard.One way they are different is because the quote says luck is real but the video says luck is not real.
    5.Ultimately this matters for multiple reasons.One reason being because I think luck is not real and that you need to work for everything you want.The second reason being that I believe work leads to success.Final reason being that attitude is also important to success.
    Ultimately this matters for multiple reasons. One reason being that If you don't work hard nothing will happen and if you do work hard great things will happen. Another reason being that about attitude and how I need to work on my attitude toward homework and toward classwork.These are all of my reasons why this matters.

    1.I think this quote is trying to say is that leprechauns are lucky because there leprechauns and we aren't. 2. This means to me like you have luck once in your life. It might come again but you gotta have a positive attitude. 4.They are the same because he's talking the same way as the quote is saying. A difference is that he was talking about attitude and blessing or lesson. Then he was talking about control your attitude. 5. To be a positive thinker and it can help you in life. It will change you attitude your personality and your life. In order to make this happen is to be positive. I am a positive person in baseball even in practice or games. It's good for you to be a good thinker because you'll. Be a leader and people will give you respect but there are hater's out. There and will try to make you negative. So stay positive and don't let nobody make you negative or change.

    1. This quote means that there is no such thing as luck. It shows that you have to work hard to get what you want.

    2. Based upon my experience, this means that I can't go anywhere in life with luck. You can't always trust luck because you need to work hard to get what you want in life. If you are waiting for luck to happen, you are basically not doing anything and sitting around waiting for something to happen when it might not.

    4. The quote and video are similar because they are both talking about how you can't sit around and wait for "luck" to happen. It is telling us that the only way to succeed in life is to work hard. The quote and video differ because the video goes more into depth about how you are not doing anything. It shows us more examples and tells us what we are doing. It tells us that most of us are in cruise control meaning we are waiting for things to be done for us.

    5. This matters because it is telling us that we cannot wait for luck to happen. There is a possibility that this luck could possibly never come to us. You can't wait for luck. Not only will you waste your time waiting, but you will also be wasting your time doing nothing with your life. Many opportunities could have flown right by you because you were waiting for luck. We do not have enough time in a day because when you think about it, school takes away about half of our day and so does sleep.
    I can apply this to the concepts in my life to make it better by reminding myself what i can do. For example, if i didn't study for a test and i passed, that is not luck. You have learned it, and remembered it. If you learned it and remembered, that means you worked hard enough to pay attention in class. Another way i can apply this is applying it to sports. When you don't know how to do a certain trick, but you nail it when you do it, it is once again not luck. You should know that you have the capability to do those things.
    Luck is something you can't wait for. If you want your life to change, then do it now. Think about karma. All that hard work you did to be able to do those certain things, have now payed off. Don't wait around for luck because it might never come. Those opportunities that you get might never come again too. Push yourself to be the best you can ever be. Even your luck can turn into something unlucky.

    1.The quote means that the harder you work the more greater things you'll get.It also means that working hard will get you places like maybe your dreams.

    2.To me this means that doing what I have to do will bring good things to me.It means that we can all do it if we just work a little harder and believe we could do it.

    3.The video and the quote are similar because they both mean to put effort in what your doing.They both mean to work a little harder to get where you want to be.They differ because the in the video it says not to believe in luck because the one that is in control is you.The quote says that he believes in luck,but you have to work hard to get it.

    4.This matters because by putting in effort in everything,I can accomplish goals and maybe even my dreams.It matters because it inspires me to do something.All I have to do is to be proactive and I will achieve many things.With this I will be able to finally live my dream if I put enough effort.

    The quote says that if you work hard you will you will have luck, and the harder you work the more you have of it, and also knowing that you can do it even if you don't have the luck.

    Based of my experience , this is important to me because it sends out a message that the harder you work you get luck and how you achieved your goal.

    The video and quote are similar because, you can't wait for something to happen,you have to make sure you control your life and get out of cruise control.and if you guide your life it will happen.also they are different in one way because the quote is saying the harder you work the better luck you have, and the video is saying if you fail you get back up, and don't wait for it to happen.

    This matter's because it's trying to say don't let a negative thing control your life, or get in the way of your life.And if you can guide your life it can happen, as long as you put in effort and stay on track you have a better view on controlling your own life.

    I can apply it to my life to make it better by, always staying on track, never let nothing control my life.And if I don't do good at something I just have to keep trying until I get there.And if I guide my own life it can happen , because I have to control my attitude , because I will not have it right. and if I do not try or make it happen.

    5:This matters because you ca't just be chilling like if you have auto pilot on your life and your not even doing nothing. You and only you have the power to control your dream. You can't have your life on auto pilot and have someone or something else do it for you cause once it fails your responsible for those a actions and you have to start all over on your dreams and life goals. You can't give up either. Don't quit and do't be on auto pilot cause if your not in control of what you are doing to achieve your life goals then what's the point in achieving something you can't handle yourself.
    Be the bigger person and most likely be the person that's in control of your life goals. If you rely on luck you never going anywhere in life. This is really important because if you rely on something that can give up on you instantly then what good is that? If you let's say you are sick and you don't go to school and you missed two test, a pop quiz in biology and an essay in English, what are you gonna do ? You can't just be on auto pilot and let it slide cause you were not there. You can't just rely on luck and hope that a miracle would save you into not doing your work. Keep it real, be the bigger person and say you missed it and do it. If you rely on other things beside yourself where are you heading in life with that Have a right attitude, accomplish your goals and achieve whatever your shooting for.Cause if you won't, then who will ?
