It Couldn’t Be Done
Related Poem Content Details
Somebody said that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!
Somebody scoffed: “Oh, you’ll never do that;
At least no one ever has done it;”
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat
And the first thing we knew he’d begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure,
There are thousands to point out to you one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing
That “cannot be done,” and you’ll do it.

**BE SURE TO PAY ATTENTION TO SPELLING, GRAMMAR, AND CAPITALIZATION. THIS IS AN ACADEMIC FORUM -- NO CURSING!**
1.) In my own words, I'd summarize the poem as don't let others effect you accomplishing your goals. Life wont always have an opportunity for you if you let other people tell you you can't do certain things. It's your life, you should tell yourself what you can and can't do.
ReplyDelete2.) Based upon my experience, the poem means, don't let other peoples words prevent you from accomplishing what you want to do in life. Don't let anyone else's negative opinions distract you from your goals in life.
4.) The video and the quote are similar and different in both ways. The video and the quote both have different messages but somehow connect in a certain way. The video and the quote are similar because they both explain that you shouldn't let other people's words affect your dreams in life. The video explains that the only opinion you should listen to is yours. The quote explains that if someone says you can't do it, it should push you to try even harder instead of preventing you from accomplishing your goals.
5.) The message in the video and the quote matter because it gives people the knowledge to keep trying instead of letting other peoples words let you down. Another reason why the message matters is because some people get effected by peoples words and don't take their comments as encouragement to keep trying. People let themselves down, not because they're disappointed in themselves, but because they get effected by other people's words. It is in fact easier said than done, but all it takes is words of encouragement from yourself. Also, in life, opportunities always have an expiration date and you should work to your potential, instead of letting peoples word let you down. If you let other peoples words let you down, you'll always be wondering what would've happened if you had just pushed yourself a little bit more.
I can apply the message in the video and the quote to my life because it motivates me to keep on going no matter what anyone says. The only person who can prevent me from doing what I want to do in life is myself. If I do prevent myself from accomplishing a certain goal, it'd be for the better. What I mean by 'for the better' is me coming up with a much better goal that'd lead me to success. Every time I tell myself what I want to do in life a lot of people tell me their honest opinion. Many people tell me they think I wont make it, or they automatically assume that I'm just saying it for now, but I wont end up doing it. Peoples words have gotten to me so much that I prefer to just keep my life goals to myself, and try harder to prove everyone wrong.

1. This poem is about disproving the idea that something can not be done.This poem is also about working hard.
2.Based on my experience this poem means two things.One being that just because someone said that something is impossible does not mean that it is impossible.The other thing being that if you work to your fullest potential the impossible might become possible.
4.The quote and the video are similar and different in many ways.one way they are different is because the video talk about fear and the poem did not.The way they are similar is because both are motivating.
5.Ultimately this matters for many reasons.One reason is because this is motivative .The second reason is it tells me not give up just because someone said it is not possible.The final reason is is because it says to not let people discourage you.These are my reason for why this matters.
There are many ways to apply this to my life to make it better.One way I can apply this to my life is when I was told I could not beat them at a game because I was new to the game.When I play against him I beat him.Another reason is because this made me want to start acting.A lot of time times i was scared because I wanted other peoples approval.This were all the ways I could apply this to my life.

1. What this poem is saying, is that no one in this world can tell you that you cannot do anything. Even when that happens, you ignore those people and you go do what is said is not possible. Furthermore you will show them that it is possible because you did it and accomplished it.
2. Based upon my experience, what this means to me is that to not let anyone put you down when they tell you, that you cannot do something. Furthermore, you know what you are a capable of. For example, many people bring me down telling me I cannot do some things. However, I ignore them and move on with my life because I know what I can do and what I can accomplish. Like the video said, you do not need anybody to approve your dream because your dream was given to you. Not to the other person. All in all, what this means to me is that you can do anything and no one can tell you otherwise.
3. The video and the poem are similar because they both talk about how you can do anything you put your mind into. No one can tell you that you are not capable of the goals you set your mind to accomplishing. Nothing is impossible in this world. The poem and video differ by what they talk about or what they mean. The poem explains how there will be many people around you that will try to bring you down by saying that you cannot do certain things. The video talks about how no one can ruin your dreams and that you have to be motivated. You have to believe in yourself and the things you can do. All in all, say yes to your dreams.
4. This matters because you can learn so much from this. I know that I learn new things in this class. Not only do I learn new things, but things that can help me in my life. Things that can help me with my career goals. These motivational videos and quotes are very beneficial to my life because I know that they can help me and will motivate me along the way. All in all, this ultimately matters because it can help you in life and help you get through all the obstacles.
A way I can apply these concepts to my life are by, taking them into consideration. Learn and better understand the meaning about the messages and taking them very serious. If I want to accomplish my career goals, I can apply these concepts to make my life better. This way I will be able to accomplish my dreams and make no excuses and listen to the small voice in my head. All in all, this message is very useful in my life.
In my perspective, I need to be more focused in what I am wanting to succeed at. I have to learn not listen to people who want to put me down and start listening to myself. I have to follow my heart and my dreams. This way I will be able to accomplish my dream and live the rest of my life being relaxed. All in all, I am going to accomplish my goals, no matter what other people say or tell me. Therefore, I can apply these concepts to my life to make it better.

1. What this poem means that even if someone is thinks you can't do it because they say it's never been done, you have to try your best and prove them wrong. It may be tough but do it for the go of you not just to prove other people wrong, but to tell yourself you were the first to accomplish this.
2.Based upon my experience to me, this means that if someone tells you that you can't do it and you go out there and do your best and accomplish it, you proved them wrong but also you accomplished something you put your heart into. You showed them what your capable of and you did it with pleasure. Nobody said it was easy, people say it's impossible but what do they know if they say it is because they don't even try.
4.The video and quote are similar because they show that not everyone is going to approve of you. Not everyone id going to help you out with what you want to accomplish. This is your goals to succeed, not there's so show that its worth it and do your best and give it your all. Not easy but whoever said it was.They differ by not giving the same message. They both have the same theme but not same message of what they both try to tell you.
5.This matters because because if everything was easy, everyone would do it. Everyone thinks it's difficult because they don't even try. The people that try and just quit are even worst. If you really want to get somewhere in life then show your best effort and give it your all. This apply's to your life because everything you do affects your life and what you end up doing in the future.
If you apply all the knowledge you gather to make your life better and you give it your best always, you would succeed in what you want to succeed. Pay attention to the path your going to. Pay attention to how your gonna en up in the future so you keep letting other people do your work and keep pushing things away so you end up never doing them. It's up to you and only you nobody else's besides yours to keep trying your best and end up succeeding all your accomplishments in life. Your life goals to accomplish your goals with nobody keeping you behind.

1. To summarize with the poem by Edgar Albert Guest, I would say it is about a person who is told by an individual that what they wanted to do couldn't be done. That person did not want to give up and call it quits so instead he did the "impossible" right in front of the guy who said he couldn't.
2. Based on my experience this poem means a lot of things. I means that I shouldn't let the words of other people prevent me from doing things that I want to do. The things that "cannot be done" will be done if I believe in myself and tell myself that I can.
3. Cornell Notes
4. The video and poem are similar in a lot of different ways. One way the video and poem are similar is because the both focus on the idea of doing the things we want to do no matter what anyone else tells us. We also can't wait for things to be perfect because this is the only moment you have. However, they are also different because the poem is telling more of a storyline of how to believe in yourself than the video provides. The video also states reasons why we run away from certain things that we want to do and the poem does not.
5. Untimely this matters because everyone needs to apply this message into their lives to make it better. We all need to know that there are many reasons of why we don't act. We only want to do things we already know how to do well because we are afraid of failure. We fear that if we try something new and out of the ordinary, then it is going to fail and crash. We don't feel good about it but we make it work out in our minds that it's okay.
A way I can apply this to my life to make it better is to to ask myself what is it that i really, really truly want. As a human being I have unlimited potential to become anything I want to be and do anything that I want to do. There are times that I become lazy and I want somebody else to do it for me but it is not possible. The video said that if i continue to go through my life like that, something in me will die and I do not want that to happen. I have to start saying yes to my dreams and doing them the best way I possibly can.
Another way I can apply this to my life is into my future career or even in school work now. I can't just wait for things to be perfect or for it to be the right time because that isn't going to happen without my effort. That moment is the only moment that I have. I know that it will be a painful process but that's what's part of it and my growth as a person. The video told me to never be satisfied with myself because there is always room for improvement and growth in everything I do. This was given to me for a reason and I'm going to go all out and it doesn't matter how many mistakes I've made in the past I'm still going to give it all I've got.

I Will Win
1. To summarize this quote this means that all you got to say is yes . Nobody can get our good , because it’s our stuff and only ours .
2. Based upon my experience , this means to me that I do not need anyone's approval for my dream or what I want to do in my life . No one can stop me but myself . I will set a goal to myself and achieve it .
4. The video and quote are similar by giving is the same lesson , which is to come up with some kind of excuse to make it right and that our life can be transformed wherever we are right now . Also the quote and video differ by saying it it a different way . The quote tells us that fear is what is preventing us and the video is telling us to win and owe what we do and have . At the end something is being learned even though it is in a different way .
5. This matter a lot to me because this is very inspiring to me and makes me realize what life is and what i have ahead of me basically . I will apply this to my life by setting my mind to something and making a process to it . I will not wait for things to be perfect because I know now that they are never going to be . Also , we are all setting for less than what we actually deserve , so I will not be one of those people . I will have control of everything I do and owe myself .
To continue , I will apply what I learned today to my life and make a change to better . I will make any sacrifice to get what I want . I will not fail and continue on my path of succeeding . I am very serious on getting my work done because once I am done I will have everything I want basically . One thing for sure is that I will finish , and say yes to everything that applies success to myself . To conclude , I am glad what I learned today so in my future I know what I will be doing .
1. I think the quote means that you shouldn't give up in any situation. If you feel you can't do something, believe in yourself and do it with confidence.
ReplyDelete2. Based on my experience this means that if you feel you aren't capable of doing something, block out everything and do what you can. If you feel that failure is going to come upon you, think about it and make the right decision to keep it pushing and do it right. Everyone has talents and flaws, but you just have to work through them.
4. The video and the quote are similar because they both are trying to give you confidence to do better and succeed in life. They are also similar because they both want you to value our life because you only have 1. They are different because in the quote it starts out saying failure isn't an option and the video starts off discussing how and why failure isn't an option. They are similar because they explain how you should keep going at all times.
5. Ultimately this matters to me and apply's to my life in many ways. I have many hardships that prevent me from accomplishing my goals. I think everyday that I need to please everyone with my actions and words, but in reality nobody is me so I can't live how people want me to. Sometimes I can't do what people always want me to do and how they want me to do it. Not everything is meant to make people happy.
In order to succeed in what I am trying to accomplish I should stop using my phone as much to concentrate more. I can apply this to my life because at times I feel I am distracted easy because when I get interested in something, it is hard for me to get back on task. Doing the tasks I just stated should help me continue to be a good person and good student. If i stay on the right rode and accept myself before I let other people, it'll give me a head start in my future. I will try to have confidence in whatever I do.

1. What this poem is saying is to not to believe in everything people say about you. Don't listen to them and always go straight to your dream r what your trying to accomplish in life.
2. Based upon my experience this means to be responsible enough to know what you can or can not do it is your choice. This also means to be a leader not a follower because if you believe everything people say then most likely you will have the same outcome as them. So you should always go with what you know is best for you otherwise you could lose a shot at a great chance.
4. How the poem and the video are similar is because it teaches you that success is not up to anyone but you. We settle for less then we actually deserve when we deserve more. You should not rely on anyone but you because you will always be there for yourself. How the quote and the video are different are because the video talks about how you can and will win at what your trying to achieve. And the poem talks about no matter what your trying o accomplish you succeed on that.
5. Why this video matters to my life is because you can take this as a motivation for your life. You can use this to help you on your journey to live your dream. But most importantly do not wait for an opportunity to come to you, you have to go for it. A human has unlimited potential and no matte what situation you are in right now you can change your life but it is up to you.
Do not try and make everything come to you. Try to figure out in your life of what you are capable of doing and what your not. always strive to do your very best. Don't put your self down just because people don't like how you do something in your life. Never pay attention to the haters that always hate on you. Ignore them and straight for your dreams. Nobody has to approve your dream or tell you what you can't and can do

1) To summarize the poem, people will give there opinions, you shouldn't listen because sometimes their wrong. You should be yourself and don't let anyone bring you down. Don't let anyone stop you from chasing your dreams.
2) Base upon my experience, to me this means that you don't listen to negative comments that bring you down. Its okay to be different than your friends. You can prove them wrong by chasing your dreams. Listen to that little voice inside your head and you'll become want you want.
4) The quote and the video are similar because they both say to never give up and not get any ones approve for what you want in your life. The quote talks about proving someone wrong and that you can do anything if you put your mind to it. It also talks about motivating yourself to become a better person. Finally, it talks about how you need to not give up. Don't wait around for things to come to you, you need to come to it. They differ because the poem says it about one person and the video says chasing your dreams and transform them.
5) This matters because we always want someones approval on what we do. You don't have to get there approve just get yours because yours is the one that matters. You can determine yourself to become a better person. Listen to that small voice in your head that tells you to do the right thing. There are people out there that will bring you down its job to bring yourself up.
I can apply the concepts to my life by not listening to negative people and going after my dreams. People say you cant do things because of your gender, race, and so on. Don't let that stop because they don't know who you are and what your capable of. If I want to be an engineer then I'm going to be an engineer because no one is going to stop from becoming the person I want to be. This is not your life, this is mine. You can control your life, and ONLY your life. WORD * Drops mic*

ReplyDelete1) To me the quote means to not ever give up. Even if you think you can't do something you need to try your best.
ReplyDelete2) Based on my experience this means even if you think you can't do something just have confidence about it. If you think your going to fail, don't let that stop you from doing you. Everyone has special qualities and we all need to overcome failure.
4) The video and the quote differ because the video gives examples of accomplishing things and the video doesn't. Their also different because the quote is stating how failure ism't an option. In the video it gives examples on why and how failure isn't acceptable. The video and the quote are similar because they both are stating why it's important to keep trying and how. Their also the same because they both give the same message on how going for many opportunities will get you places in life.
5) Ultimately this matters to me and apply's to my life in many ways. Many thing prevent me from doing what I want in life. In my mind I think I need to pleasure everyone or else I'll get judged and that's my problem. This is the only moment I have and I need to make the most out of it. It will be painful but that will only make me stronger. I can't try to make things logical because somethings just aren't logical.
Many things are given to us but we need to fight for things we believe in. We shouldn't worry about what other people do or think about us. If we want everyone to like us at whatever we do then we won't ever get anywhere in life. As long as you believe in yourself you can do whatever you want. You can overcome anything you wan't as long as you have your mind set to that. That's how this video apply's to me and my life. I will overcome all my fears and very soon.

ReplyDelete1. You never know your capabilities until you test your limits. There will always be those who doubt you. Those who went before you, failed, and never got back up again. Become the one that succeeds, no matter how many times it take.
ReplyDelete2. Based on my experience, I can really relate to this quote. I've gone through life with the mentality that I will win and succeed. This has helped me a lot so far. Having confidence in yourself truly has a positive impact in your performance.
3. Cornelle Notes
4. The poem and video both states that most people don't act because we want other's approval. We don't act because we have a fear of failing. The difference is that the video talks about how whatever you are seeking in life, is also seeking you. It talks about how you should never be satisfied with yourself. You should never stay in your comfort zone simply because you are good at that one area.
5. This matters to me because I tend to stay within my comfort zone the majority of my life. I want to do only what I am good at because I know the risk of failure is small. I want to feel like a king in the area of my comfort zone.
I can apply this concept to my life when I am trying new things. I will remember that just because it has never been done, doesn't mean it can't be done. I don't need anyone to approve my dreams. Everything in this world was a once a simple figment of imagination. I will not act for others approval. I will seek my own dream the same way it's seeking me.

ReplyDelete1. In this poem its stating that just because other people say it can't be done doesn't mean that you stop trying.It also states that when people keep telling you that you can't do something and it impossible then you make it possible and happen.
ReplyDelete2.Based upon my experience this means to me that I will not let other peoples opinions get to me.In my experience this shows me that i will not let others tell me what i can and can't do in life.This also shows me that I have to do what i believe and what i'm proud of.
3.The video and quote are similar because its talking about how not to give up on your dreams and how we are scared to fail in life its self.They both talk about failure and how e all fear it and we need to stop fearing failure. Although these two are also very different because the poem is talking about how people will tell you you can't do something.The video is telling you more of how to come up out of failure and how to stop fearing failure and how not to settle for less.
4.This matters because most of us do fear failure and that can be the biggest challenge of life.This matters because we need to start taking personal responsibility and ask ourselves what we truly want in life.They both show you to keep doing what you need to do.They both show you that its okay to struggle with things before you succeed.
However they are different because the video video is mostly talking about how not to fear fear.And its also talking about how we all have unlimited potential.It doesn't matter how many failures or mistakes you make.
5.This is important and i will apply it to my life by showing my self how not to give up and do what i need to do.i can also show my self that its okay to struggle.i can show myself that when you know what your seeking you wont let anyone take it from you.I don't need anyone to approve of my dreams.
This is important because you shows you how not to give up on yourself.it show you not to leave this earth with no achievements and anything to remember you by.its important because it show you not to wait for things in life.Don't settle for less is what i understand from it.

ReplyDelete1. the poem is telling us that people can tell us that we are not going to be able to do it. We could work hard and prove those people wrong because we are capable of doing anything that we want to achieve.
ReplyDelete2. Upon my experience, this means to me that I shouldn't listen to other people. I can work hard and prove those people wrong.
4. The video and quote are similar because they both talk about not giving up. You should never be satisfied so it gives you something to work harder for when you are already good. Somewhere out there, there is someone better than you. The video and quote differ because the video tells us to listen to ourselves.
5. this matters because we could use this as inspiration and motivation to help us achieve what we want to do. Both the quote and video tell us that we should never let anyone else bring us down

What this quote is saying is that people will say it's impossible and others will frown upon you but it doesn't mean you should quit. That instead of quitting you should go for it and prove them wrong so that you can show them you wont accept failure.
ReplyDeletePersonally I believe that this quote is telling us not to give in to what others believe but in what we believe. That even though people will disprove of us we shouldn't give up. When they don't believe in us then to show them we're better than they think.
This quot to the video I say because both are basically saying that we can't give up because it's hard or seems impossible. That we need to go for what we want and accept what comes with it. The video and quote are different because the video is telling us to start now and the quote is basically telling us to just prove to someone that you can.
This matters because the outside world influences our behavior and can cause us to give up or even not try in the first place. This can souse us to loose what we want and fail. I can apply this to my life by not caring about what others think but by doing it and then making my own opinion when i finish. I can use this to remember that haters will always be in my way and all i have to do is push them out the way. That haters wont influence what I can and can not do just because they say it's hard. Also by remembering that i have to start and not sit around and wait for life to find me but to look for my own life in my own way.

1. The poem is saying to not let what others "possible" or approval effect you and your motives. As said from the poem, "There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done" it's saying that there are people who are going tell you and talk down on you saying its impossible but your the only one who has a say in YOUR dreams. In your motives, your fate. And that's what the poem is trying to tell you.
2. During my experience of situations as similar to the following, I indeed had trouble with so many obstacles when it came to finishing what I started because of how unmotivated I was. Many people whom were in my team would say I wouldn't be able to do it, that I don't have enough stamina to run or be apart of the cross-country team. I would finish a mile in 14 minutes or more. I worked harder than the others that were in my team, I practiced everyday with the girls and when there was no girls practice I would run with the boys hoping to get faster or pick up some knoledge as of how to get motivated to finish. My goal was my motive but as the more i was running, the more i felt insecure if I was good enough for this task. I now run a mile in 5 minutes and less. I am my own motive.
4. The poem and the video are very similiar because they are both saying and motivating you to get the words "you can do it" in your mindset. Literally both the poem and video stated that people are going to tell you that you cannot do this and you can't accomplish that. people are going to tell you that aren't apable to do such things, but why are you going to listen or let what someone says effect what youv'e been striving for? And that's exactly what the poem and video are telling you. You are your own obstacle and you and you only. No one else. you don't grind and put all your tears and sweat into the thing you love most for them. You don't strive for them. So what they say, is irrelevant.
5. It has a great important significance because many people are put down due to what others say. They had little confidence and little faith so when those negative words came rushing to them, they lost faith in themselves. Someone else said they can't do it, so now they really can't do it. No. That's not how it works and it will never work that way. You gotta believe in yourself, trust that you can do it and take responsibility IN YOURSELF. You are the one who is striving for your goal. This is your dream so stop making excuses and face your obstacle. Face your fear. Face yourself.
I have already applied this to my life and it has really made it better. I feel as though I've become stronger with this knowledge in my mindset. It keeps me going and motivates me to finish. To finish strong is all that matters. And I now know that. I used to only want to win and end up not even finishing. Now I finish and I feel successful. Like I'm one step closer to my dream you know? Like I can do this, It was nothing.

1. In my point of view he or she is saying that don't let nobody put you down and say you can't do it.
ReplyDelete2.This is saying to me that people will put you down but. Don't let them put you down you can do it don't let nobody stop you from doing it.
4. So there are different and similar so the similarity is that they are both motivating you.To do what you want and the difference is that they are both saying different things. Like the poem is saying that he can't do it but at the end they end up doing it.
5. It will make your life better because so you can not be a person that says that they can't do it. No you want to be that person that does everything. Then has confidence in them self's and other around them. I think it's important to be a person like that so that whatever comes at you. You can take anything down because you have confidence in your self.I would have confidence in my self because whatever comes at me I can take anything down. It will help me in life because so you won't be scary and say you can't do it. That's why I think it will help me in the future.

In your own words, summarize the poem. (1-2 Sentences) This poem basically says that I need to take the training wheels off to get to where I need to get. That if I don't get out of my shell that I won't be what I'm meant to be.
2. Based upon your experience, what does this mean to you? (2-3 sentences) This means to me that I can't allow people to tell me that I can't let people tell me I can't & won't. I have to stop hiding behind others & show who I am. I need to crawl out of the whole where my fears have buried me. I need to stand up for myself.
3. View the following video & take cornell Notes on it- IT WILL WIN
4. How does the video & quote similar? How do they Differ ? (3-5 sentences).
The video & quote are similar because they both talk about trying to better yourself. They both strictly talk about fears & how to over come them. They also differ because one is all examples & mixed into many people speaking. Another is that the poem is more of a dramatic irony.
5. Ultimately , why does this matter & how can you apply it the concept to your life to make it better? (2-3 paragraphs ).
This matters because I cannot allow others negativity to stop me from being what I want to be, not what I could have almost been. I need to put myself in a position where I'm going to jeopardize my wants for others wants. I cannot sacrifice what I want in order to complete someones doubts. I need to put myself in a mindset of no one can stop me; & no one will.
I can apply all of this to myself by becoming a better person & over coming my fears. In order for me to succeed & be what I want is that I have to let go of things that are going to hold me back in my success. Everyone who tries to put me down & says I won't ever be what I say is going to have to be shut up by me proving their doubts. I cannot allow ,myself to be such when I still have such around me. I also have to stop fearing things. I can apply all of that in order to get out of my fears & wholes that I allow my fears & doubts to dig me into.

1. To summarize the poem, it is telling us that people can tell us that we are not going to be able to do it. We could work hard and prove those people wrong because we are capable of doing anything that we want to achieve. We are also capable of doing things for ourselves and not for other people.
2. Upon my experience, this means to me that I shouldn't listen to other people. I can work hard and prove those people wrong. Not only that but you are doing something for yourself to make you a better person.
4. The video and quote are similar because they both talk about not giving up. You should never be satisfied so it gives you something to work harder for when you are already good. Somewhere out there, there is someone better than you. The video and quote differ because the video tells us to listen to ourselves. The video also tells us that we usually want other people to do something for us instead of doing it ourselves. Most of us want to do things that we already do well at because we are afraid to fail.
5. This ultimately matters because we could use this as inspiration and motivation to help us achieve what we want to do. Both the quote and video tell us that we should never let anyone else bring us down. Once we have failed, many of us are afraid of failing again. We want other people's approval. We all want everybody to like and accept us. We all need to realize that the only people stopping us from chasing our dreams and goals is ourselves.
I can apply these concepts to my life to make it better by using it as something to snap me back to reality. I sometimes forget that this is real life and not everything can come to me. It helps me realize that everyone is struggling at something. Some of us are capable of fighting our way through the hardships of reaching our goals. This helps me fight my way through through my smaller goals to reach my bigger goals.
All in all, this ultimately matters because we could use this as inspiration and motivation to help us through our goals. I can apply these to my life to make it better by using it as something to snap or push my mindset back to reality. Nothing is easy to achieve. Whatever you are seeking is also seeking you. You should never be satisfied with yourself because once you are satisfied, you start to work less because you think that you are already good. But there is always someone better than you. Those opportunities you get today might not be here next year. Don't wait for things to be perfect.

Never let the words of another affect your mindset of success. Never let others influence whether or not you can or can't do something.
Based upon my experience what this poem means to me is that I should never allow another to determine whether or not I can succeed. Even if people tell me it's impossible I shouldn't allow that to corrupt my determination to do it. Only I can be the one to let make myself accomplish my goal(s).
The video and the quote are similar in aspect that they both express the importance of there will always be people out there who will say you cannot do something. They both inform the listener/ reader about the negativity of others and your own mind. The way the are different is the fact that the video not only explains about the negativity of others, but also expresses the negativity of the person within and the importance of self confidence and your own motivation/motivations.
Ultimately this message matters and is important because there are many people in this world who could not put up with all the negativity that will or is being thrown at them. This message is just a little reminder to let the viewer/reader understand that they can surpass the negativity. This message is what gives some or most people their strength to persist in their day-to-day lives. And also to keep them motivated and remind them about why they even started in the first place. It is what keeps the fire deep down inside of them burning and it insures that it will never be extinguished. How I can apply this concept into my life is by living my life without the fear of failure. This concept needs to be embedded into me because I need a reminder like this every day to keep me going and to help me proceed into my success. I will never be successful I can stop fearing failure itself. My fears of not succeeding is what keeps me in my cage and it feels as though the key to the cage has been thrown away and will never be found. So this message is really important to me in the sense that I need to start having more confidence in the things that I do and in the things that I want to do. I need to remind myself that I can't have success without failure and I need to not allow the negativity of others and the outside world corrupt my mind and success. Because this is the period that keeps me away from the person that I've always dreamed of being.
1. You have to try things for yourself before you can determine wether they can be done or not. If you have determination and you focus towards that goal, everything is possible. Don't let other people tell you what you can and cannot do.
ReplyDelete2. This poem to me means that you shouldn't give up. Always keep trying and give your best effort. The end result is different for everyone. My mom always says that it is better to try something and fail at it then to never have tried at all. Just because you failed the first doesn't mean that you can't continue trying to succeed at it.
4. The video and the quote are similar in the sense that both speak about about not letting others define or tell you if something can be done or not. If you want to achieve success you have to try your hardest, even if it people don't believe it can be done.
The are different in the sense that the video is more focus on your personal dreams and following that dream by hard work, focus and determination as oppose to the quote referring more about others not being able to do something. Your dream is your dream and Noone can fulfill it but yourself.
5. In my opinion following your dreams is very important if you want to be happy. It is important to feel good about yourself and your accomplishments. Nobody wants to feel like a failure and not good enough. My mom says there more people rooting to see her fail, then there are who want to see her succeed and I think that is very sad and selfish. She didn't get a chance to follow her dreams of bring a lawyer and I see her working two jobs that she doesn't care much about just to support me and my brother.
I think it's important to apply this to your everyday life by being a good student, staying focused and putting an effort in your assignments and tests. Studying and getting good grades. Working hard to become a better basketball player in the hopes of getting a college scholarship and becoming a professional basketball player.
I know I have to make sacrifices along the way in order for me to get a scholarship to play college basketball. I put alot of hard work in trying to stay in shape and be the best that I can be by playing ball everyday. At school and on the weekends. I have to make sure I keep up my GPA to stay on the basketball team and behave at school. I plan on working hard and giving 1000% to achieve my goals and Yo make my family proud.

1.The poem describes that do not let no one tell you you can"t do a certain thing or achieve something.This means to me that your not suppose to let someone tell you that you can"t let someone bring you down just because they think you can"t achieve something.Don"t let people think about the things you can and can"t do, you have to make your goal.Despite everyone that don"t believe in you.
2.The video and quote are similar because it says that to not wait and let what other people think of you or of what you can and can't do.Because yes you can follow your dreams and yes you can make it, and yes you can.and the difference is that they don't say is that you do't always have to be scared and follow your dreams.
3.This matters because a lot of people don't follow their dreams because some people don't think that they can make it to their dreams.It tells us that you should never be satisfied with yourself, because you should always know that to put in effort and time on you.And it gives us a message that we should never find a excuse to make it right,because you need to start asking yourself what do i really want?.and we shouldn't not act just to get other people's approval, we should approve of you individual.
I can apply it to my life to make it better by not approving of people to approve my dream.i can follow my own dream, as long as i put in effort through my way.And also to not to wait for things to make it right, because the only thing that is important is to focus your way through and to make my dream happen.And it could also apply it to make it better by ignoring everyone that says no to my dream, and not to back out just because someone didn't believe in me.
1:This poem describes that do not let no one tell you you can"t do a certain thing or achieve something.This means to me that your not suppose to let someone tell you that you can"t let someone bring you down just because they think you can"t achieve something.Don"t let people think about the things you can and can"t do, you have to make your goal.Despite everyone that don"t believe in you.
ReplyDelete2: During my experience of situations as similar to the following, I indeed had trouble with so many obstacles when it came to finishing what I started because of how unmotivated I was. Many people whom were in my team would say I wouldn't be able to do it, that I don't have enough stamina to run or be apart of the cross-country team. I would finish a mile in 14 minutes or more. I worked harder than the others that were in my team, I practiced everyday with the girls and when there was no girls practice I would run with the boys hoping to get faster or pick up some knowledge as of how to get motivated to finish. My goal was my motive but as the more i was running, the more i felt insecure if I was good enough for this task. I now run a mile in 5 minutes and less. I am my own motive.
3: Cornell notes
4:The video and the quote differ because the video gives examples of accomplishing things and the video doesn't. Their also different because the quote is stating how failure ism't an option. In the video it gives examples on why and how failure isn't acceptable. The video and the quote are similar because they both are stating why it's important to keep trying and how. Their also the same because they both give the same message on how going for many opportunities will get you places in life.
5: This matter a lot to me because this is very inspiring to me and makes me realize what life is and what i have ahead of me basically . I will apply this to my life by setting my mind to something and making a process to it . I will not wait for things to be perfect because I know now that they are never going to be . Also , we are all setting for less than what we actually deserve , so I will not be one of those people . I will have control of everything I do and owe myself .
To continue , I will apply what I learned today to my life and make a change to better . I will make any sacrifice to get what I want . I will not fail and continue on my path of succeeding . I am very serious on getting my work done because once I am done I will have everything I want basically . One thing for sure is that I will finish , and say yes to everything that applies success to myself . To conclude , I am glad what I learned today so in my future I know what I will be doing .
