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.

  3. 1._ In my own words I think that sometimes we just care about what peoples' opinion and that's why we don't do what we really want and we just have to reach our dreams.
    2._ To me this video means that we have to do what ever we got to do and reach our dreams no matter what peoples' opinion is but you have to try because if you fail, the only thing that you have to do is try again and you have to put effort on the things you do.
    3._

    * Acting is a fear to fail.
    * We don't want to do our own things without peoples' approval.
    * You have to ask yourself what you really want to do.
    * Don't wait for the things to be perfect.
    * We have unlimited potential.
    * You have to put effort on you and concentrate on you.
    * You have to say yes to your dreams.
    * You don't need anybody to approve your dream, it was given to you. If they can't see it, it's because it wasn't given to them. It was given to you.

    4._ The video and the quote are similar because both are saying that you always wait for the peoples opinion and you just have to make your dreams, you have to do what you really want in your life. we don't have to wait for the things to be perfect if we are not making them perfect. It is different because in the poem is telling a story where people makes decisions without waiting for peoples approval.

    5._ I can make this concept better by thinking new things, by knowing more things about life because everything I do, I have to ask my friends if I really want to do that but my decision I have to ask to myself if I want to do it, and if I do it what things are going to be good when I'm doing them, how am I have to do it.Everything happens for a reason, someone gave me this mission and it just mine so I have to do it. We don't have to hear " don't do it"
    because do or do not there is no try

  4. 1) I think this quote means stop distracting yourself with stuff or objects and follow your dreams.

    2) To me this means that people distract themselves with technology and other stuff. Like every time i do homework i distract myself with my phone.

    3) Cornell notes

    4) The quote and the video are similar because they both talk about stop distracting yourself and do your dream. They are different because the quote is talking about distracting yourself with objects. And the video talking about how you as an individual are distracting yourself.

    5) This matters because you will never accomplish your dream because you will keep on distracting yourself. Which means you will never be close to your dream and will never accomplish your dream. i will apply this to my life by putting everything aside when doing homework. Also i will do something in that instance then doing it later.

  6. 1.) The poem basically says that you need to go for the impossible. It doesn't matter if people tell you can't do something. You don't know whether you can or can't until you try.

    2.) Based upon my own experience, what the poem states is true. People will tell you that you can't do something, but you shouldn't listen to them. You need to strive to achieve, because you don't know if something was worth it until you try.

    3.) cornell notes

    4.) The video and quote are similar, but they also differ. The quote and the video are similar, because they both talk about failure. The video says that if you've failed, you probably don't want to fail again and that you have to say yes to your dreams. The quote says that you shouldn't listen to what other people tell you, just work hard and follow your dreams. The video and quote differ, because the video talked about needing to know what you truly want in life.

    5.) Both concept from the video and the quote matter, and they can both be applied to your life to make it better. The message from the video was that you need to do things now. What I mean by this is that you need to do things now before it's too late. Just because you fail, it doesn't mean that you should stop trying. You need to say yes to your dreams. This concept can be applied to your life when you fail a test. If you fail a test, try again. Learn from your mistakes.

    The message from the quote is that you shouldn't listen to people that tell you,"You'll never do that. It can't be done." You'll never know if it can or can't be done until you try. This message can also be applied to your life. The message can be applied to your life when someone tells you,"You can't do that! You're too young!" You're never too young to reach for your goals.

  9. 1. You never know whats impossible to do until you try and do it. People will always tell you it can't be done, but if you tr, you might be the one to make it possible. 2. Sometimes people try and put fear in you of doing something because they don't want you to get it done. When I want to do something no one wants to they don't want me to see me get it done. They try and tell me its impossible but I always try and at the end I can turn it to possible from possible. 4. They're the same because they both tell you that people will always try and stop you. And if you try and do i, you can end up doing something amazing. They're different because the quote tells us that you can accomplish things when people say it's not possible. The video says more that the only one that can stop you, is you. 5. This matters because when you want to do something, there will always be someone that will push you down. Only you can knows what's impossible not nobody else. You can stand up, take off your coat and show them it can be done. There will be always be fear when you start, and even if you don't succeed you will get pride in knowing you tried your best. It's important because now I wont let people get to me and I'll take chances because it would be worse if I didn't try. I can apply it to my life my because people are always negative. When I was joining cheer they told me I wouldn't make it but I did. I just learned that even if there's a slight chance I may not make it, I still have to try. Most of the time I'm scared to try something, I get afraid I won't accomplish it. Even if I don't get to what I wanted I can still know that I tried. And if I do accomplish it, I can leave with a smile and show the people that told me I couldn't that I could.

  10. It Couldn't be Done
    By: Edgar Albert Guest
    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

    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.

    1. In your own words, summarize the poem (1-2)

    If someone says you can't, prove them wrong. Just because its never been done before, doesn't mean it cant be done now.

    2. Based on your experience, what this mean to you? (2-3)

    Based on my experience, it means I shouldn't pay attention to other when it comes to my dreams. Other relatives will tell me my dreams are wrong and illogical, However, things in life defy logic.

    3. Cornell Notes- I WILL WIN

    - If you fail, you have to detain from failing again
    - Many of us don't act because we want others approval
    - We are settling for less than we deserve
    - People like to feel like they're king in their comfort zone
    - Don't wait for things to be perfect or the ideal timing
    - When you decide to take life on, it will be painful and uncomfortable, thats where the growth is
    - Never be satisfied with yourself
    - Don't try to make everything logical. Things in life defy logic
    - You have to say yes to your dreams, it was given to you, if they cant see it, its because it wasn't given to them

    4. How are the video and quote similar? How do they differ? (3-5) sentences

    The video and quote are similar because they talk about how we need to follow what we want. People are going to tell us we can't do the impossible, but we cant rely our future on others. All we have to do is to tell them to watch us as we change the world. they don't understand our dreams because they aren't their in the first place. We need to feel like our dreams and ambitions are right. That means we have to step out of our comfort zone. Outside our comfort zone can be painful and uncomfortable, but that is where we learn and grow.

    5. Ultimately, why does this matter and how can we apply these concepts to our lives to make them better? (2-3 paragraphs)

    These concepts matter because we cant let other get in the way of our success. We cant let others tell us we cant do it. The only logical thing to do when others doubt you is the do exactly that. Why would you want to throw the opportunity to prove them wrong away? Humans are the only species who can do more than they are. Only dogs can be dogs and only cats can be cats. Lets take hat opportunity to leave a trace on this universe.

    We can also apply these concepts to our life to make them better by never being satisfied with ourselves. We can do so much more. In order to do that we have to step out of our comfort zone and grow. If we cant do that, we cant move on. It can be painful, but thats how we become a better version of ourselves.We can start by setting a goal and sticking to it. We have to be motivated and we have to stick to what we have to do to succeed. We cant procrastinate or we wont finish what we started.

  12. 1. To me this means if you never try you will never know if you can do it.

     Don't let any one tell you "you can't do that" and no to fall into there game of negative.
     
    2. To me this means don't let any one say that what you want to try and do is impossible.
     
     In my own experience some people doubted me and said I can't get a principals list award but i pushed ahead and still got one.

     If you never get or have the courage to try something you will never now if your good at it.

    3.  Say yes to your dreams
     
      You have to have personal responsibilitys

      Take the opportunity you have because it doesn't stay forever
     
      What will you lead

      Have determination

      ask your self what do I truly want

      Don't settle for less then what you actually deserve

    4. The video and the poem
    are similar because they are both motivational.
     
     The video and the poem are different becausethey are by two different people.
     
     The poem and the video are similar in the fact that both were made to keep your spirit up and have you try something new.

     The poem and the video are different in the fact that one is a poem and and one is a video.

    5. This matter because there are alot of people in this world that need the motivational poems to pick them self up. This also matters because you could learn a really valuable lesson from this. At any point in time you could use this to move forward in life.

       I can apply this to my life by reading it when I feel down and I need to pick myself back up. I can also use this to when somebody told me I can't do something I prove them wrong.

  14. 1. In my own words, this poem means that you shouldn't stop trying because something is difficult to do. You should try no matter what, and put your best effort to get to it. Even if it's hard and someone tells you to stop because you won't reach it, don't because you will if you just try.

    2. Based upon my experience, this means I shouldn't listen to what people have to say. Even if its hard, that doesn't mean I won't be able to reach it. I also have to have a positive mindset about things. If I think I won't be able to do a difficult thing, I won't. If I have a positive mindset, push myself, try, and put effort then I'll make it.

    3. Cornell Notes:

    1. Many of us don't act because we want other people's approval.

    2. We want everyone to like and accept us.

    3. We are settling for less than what we actually deserve.

    4. Not wanting to take personal responsibility affects us.

    5. We need to start asking ourselves questions.

    6. Don't wait around for things to be just right.

    7. Don't wait for things to be perfect.

    8. Today's opportunities might not be there next year.

    9. Never be satisfied with yourself.

    10. You can transform wherever you are in life.


    4. The video and quote are similar because the video says that we can't wait for things to happen.. In the quote it says that a person underestimated someone, and he kept trying and did his part in work. Soon, he did what people said he couldn't. The video and quote are also different because the video says that we need to start asking ourselves questions. In the quote it says to just go to it and try to do what people say you can't.

    5. This all matter because something difficult shouldn't stop you. There's going to be rough times in life you're going to go through, and you can't just give up. You have to prove other people wrong, and show them what they think you can't do. You can transfer wherever you want in life, no matter if people say you can't. You can't sit back and wait for things to be perfect and right, you're the one that has to make it perfect and right. You have to accept the fact that people won't always approve of what you want to do, so you have to go for it and do it.

    I will apply these concepts to my life because they are important and will make it better. I should always keep going forward even if someone says I won't make it. I have to prove all the people wrong who told me I can't do it, and do it. I can't just sit back and wait for everything to be perfect and right. I have to get up and make it happen myself. Lastly, I have to accept the fact that people will judge and not accept the things I do in life, so I just got to do it and follow what my heart tells me to follow.

  15. 1. The poem is telling that do your dream don't let anyone tell you what to do. Don't be afraid to do your dream you don't need anyone to improve you.

    2. Based on my experience the poem is saying that don't give up on your dream even though people are saying that you can't do it. Do your dream even if you fail try again keep trying to accomplish your dream.

    3. Cornell Notes
    - Acting is the fear of failure
    - You just want to do things you do well,do something different so you could learn something new
    - Do things on your own don't make someone else do it for you, you wont learn anything
    - You will regret it if you made someone else do it for you
    - Ask yourself what you really truly want
    - You can put effort on you and by concentrating on you and developing
    - Be confident about your dream
    - Its normal for you to make mistakes
    - Don't wait for the ideal situation, it will never be ideal
    -The moment you have the opportunities, do it that moment

    4. The poem and the video is really similar like, they both talk about following your dreams.They both talk about never giving up on your dreams. The poem and the video are very different too like the poem says that somebody hid their faces from their dream , but in the video they said show your face and embrace your dreams. the poem and video both say don't let anyone tell what to do with your dreams. they both also say if you follow your dreams maybe you will be successful you'll never know until you try it.

    5. Following your dreams matter because the moment you have that opportunity, go do that opportunity the moment you get if not maybe that opportunity will never come again. It will be challenging and painful to win just remember to be confident. Say yes to your dreams. It doesn't matter if you make mistakes you learn from your mistakes. If you already fail nobody wants fail again so just try really hard on your don't give up. You can put effort on you by concentrating on you and developing. You will regret it if you made someone else do it for you.
    If you go and do you dream and don't be shy your life won't be so complicated. you could do many of thing to make your life complicated. Ask yourself what do you really truly want want. Don't wait around for things to be just right. Don't wait for things to be perfect. Don't wait for the ideal situation, it will never be ideal. You just want to do things you know you do well, but try to do something different it will more fun if you learn something new.
    Acting is the fear of failure. If you already fail, you don't want to fail again. Don't have excuses for not following your dream. You just want to do things you do well, but try things different. Do things on your own don't make someone else do it for you. You will regret it if you made someone else do all your work for you. You don't need someone to tell you to improve yourself. You know if you are doing it right. Say yes to your dreams.

  16. 1. The poem is telling us how many people will tell us what can not and can be done. But if we put our head in the game we can accomplish what couldn't be done.

    2. What this means to me is just simply having the idea of proving people wrong can lead us to success. Having to let them know that you are capable of doing the " impossible " and so much more. Although, i think it is best to prove yourself wrong than proving others wrong, make yourself more confident in what you can do.

    3. Cornell Notes

    4. The video and quote are similar because they both give examples on how there are people who are going to tell you what is possible and impossible. Just have to remind yourself that there is no limit whatsoever. They differ because on how the video also gives an example on how we just keep giving excuses.

    5. This is important because a lot of do not try just when people tell us it can not be done. That is no the way to think, life has endless possible outcomes. Not everything ends in failure you have to be ready to take a risk and not think about the bad outcomes think positive. If people keep getting use to just saying "no" to trying they will just leave it as it is. Taking the risk is what life is all about, success comes with taking sacrifices.

    I can apply this to my life to make it better by taking risks for myself and look out for myself only. Only worry about MY future and what I want to become also how successful i want to be. Accomplishing the dreams I have always wanted to do when i'm older and that journey starts now. Beginning with my grades and how much effort i put into my work. If you really want to be successful as much as i want to breathe i will take the risks and so much more to do it.

  17. 1. Never say it can't be done. Don't let people tell you what's right or wrong for you. Make your own decisions.
    2. Based on my experience, this to me means to do what you want do. Think long think wrong. Do what you think is right for you and you only.
    3. Notes
    4. The video and poem are similar because they both talk about how don't let someone do what you have to do. Don't let fear get in your way. You fail get up and try again. It differs because this is a poem and has a different meaning than the video. Believe that you can do anything you want.
    5. I can apply this concept to my life to make it better by doing what I need to do. By reading this poem I can just connect it with my life. To see what I need to work on. Also do in life. Just to make myself happy and successful. I can use the video and watch it everyday. So the things said in the video get through my head. Life never works out the way you want it. But you can make it happen. You have to do what you have to do to do what you wanna do.

  18. 1. In my own words the poem is telling you not to give up, always try your best rather than not try at all. Don't focus yourself based upon what others say or think about you. Believe in yourself, because if you do you can accomplish anything that you want.



    2.Based upon my experience this quote means you can accomplish anything as long as you put effort. Putting effort in an obstacle that is holding you back from being successful is the best thing you can do. Don't expect all the hard work to be done for you because if you do you will never accomplish your goal. Trying is better than not trying at all.




    3. Cornell notes

    -Acting is the fear of failure

    -If you already failed, you don't wanna fail again

    -The disappointment

    -Many of us don't act because we want other people's approval

    -We want everybody to like us and to accept us

    -were settling for less than what we actually deserve

    -Don't wait for things to be perfect

    -you can put effort on you by concentrating on you and developing you

    - Don't try and make everything logical

    - You've got to say yes, to your dreams, to yourself

    -you don't need anybody to approve your dream

    -It doesn't matter how much failure you have made




    4. The video and poem are similar because they both talk about how anything is possible as long as you put effort. They both give the message which is try your best to accomplish anything that you want to accomplish. Don't let others stop you from becoming what you would like to be in your future. The video and poem differ because the video adds more detail on how trying is the best thing to do and the poem just give you a story on how you can prove people wrong if you try.




    5. This matters because there is always an obstacle in your life that is keeping you from achieving your goal or becoming successful. Once there is something that is not making you achieve your goal you want to just give up and believe your goal is not possible to reach. Trying is the best answer when you believe you will not accomplish your goal. You can't just give up from reaching your goal in life just because of an obstacle that is keeping you from it. Quitting will not take you where, it will just make you waste time. In life many people will not want you to become successful and they will try their best to make you fail.







    You can apply this to your life and make it better by trying your best when there is an obstacle that is keeping you from becoming successful or reaching your goal. Trying is better than not trying at all, because if you try it can get you an opportunity that can help you with your future. You can make your life better by ignoring the people that want to see you fail. If you ignore the ones that don't want you succeeded you will be focused on achieving your goal. Don't wait on every ones approval to like the decisions that you make. You have to believe in yourself, you have to be motivated to accomplish your goal.

  19. 1. In my own words the poem states that you should never give up even if other people don't believe in you. Others will say you can't do it but you actually can. Overall the poem is just stating that you should never give up even if others don't believe.

    2. Based on my experience I think that people have brought me down and not believing in me. But this poem states that don't ever give up even though someone tells you you can't do it or if someone tells you its not possible.

    - and if you've already failed you don't want to fail again.
    -acting is a fear of failure
    -we want everybody to like us and accept us
    - we are settling for less than what we actually deserve
    -we will come up with some kind of excuse to make it alright.
    - we want somebody else to do it and that's not possible.
    - what do I truly want ?
    - don't wait for things to be perfect
    - never be satisfied with yourself, always know that as you invest the effort and time on you.
    - you can put effort on you and by concentrating on you and developing.

    4. The quote and video are similar because they both talk about how you wait for people to bring you down and tell you it's impossible or you just can't do it. They are different because the quote is saying how you should never give up even if your being brought down. The video on the other hand is talking about how you wait for people to make your decisions.

    5 This matters because every time someone tells me I can't do it or that it's impossible I know that I can't give up. There are a lot of people who will tell you you won't be able to make it but you always have to try in order to actually succeed.At the end of trying hard you will succeed.

    I can apply this to my life to make it better when people don't believe in me. For example people may tell me I can't go to college. I know I won't give up just because someone tells me I can't do it. Therefore this applies to my life to make it better by reminding me that other people's opinions don't matter

    4. The quote and video are similar because they both talk about how you wait for people to bring you down and tell you it's impossible or you just can't do it. They are different because the quote is saying how you should never give up even if your being brought down. The video on the other hand is talking about how you wait for people to make your decisions.

    5 This matters because every time someone tells me I can't do it or that it's impossible I know that I can't give up. There are a lot of people who will tell you you won't be able to make it but you always have to try in order to actually succeed.At the end of trying hard you will succeed.

    I can apply this to my life to make it better when people don't believe in me. For example people may tell me I can't go to college. I know I won't give up just because someone tells me I can't do it. Therefore this applies to my life to make it better by reminding me that other people's opinions don't matter

  21. 1. Never give up on what you think is right. Believe in yourself and put all effort in to what you believe.

    2. People are gonna say you cant and tell you constantly you cant. you might doubt yourself and say you cant do it and you'll just wanna give up. Put all effort in and after the outcome the hard work and negative comments will pay off.

    3. On separate piece of paper

    4. The way they are similar is in the aspect that you do what you like and people that agree follow you. So if you like a easy job and there is a job that offers something like that then it works for both of you. The way they both differ is because one is about just you. And the other is about you having similarities with other people and getting along.

  23. 1. The poem was mainly just about how you cannot just give up on something or yourself, and also not make people think that you cannot do something that seems impossible.

    2. Well I guess from experience, that it is normal for someone to not believe you in what looks like is impossible for you to do that will probably be hard at first but then will become easy to do.

    3.Cornell Notes.

    4. They are probably some what similar cause since the quote is mainly talking about how one person wanted to do the impossible that no one could ever do and no one would think that he would be able to do it. And the video is talking about how you could never say no to nothing or anybody, all you have to say is "Yes" to everything and to your dreams.

    5. This all matters cause of how what there trying to say is that you could not give up on nothing that would make you down. I mean for example the video was about how many people that have not given up what they believe they think that they could do something that's impossible.
    But the quote was just about how one person had many people that didn't believe that he could the one main thing that nobody could ever do. but I guess what i could do is to just say yes to everything that seems impossible to do or of what people think that is impossible for one girl cant do.

  25. 1) The poem was trying to say that there is going to be someone that is going to tell you that what you are trying to do can't be done but when you try you can.There are thousands of people who is going to tell you, you can't do something but when you try you can and you prove them wrong so basic tip don't listen or let something stop you from trying to do or follow your dreams.
    2) Based upon my experience this poem means to me that don't let anyone to follow your dreams. If they tell you, you can't try and if you can you proved them wrong. Just don't listen to people there are going to be thousands of people like that, "Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing That cannot be done, and you'll do it."
    3)
    4) The video and poem are similar because they talk about how we would like other peoples approvals we would want other people to like us. They are different because the video was talking about how we act and what prevent us from acting is the fear of failure. The poem was about how there are some people who are going to tell you can't do something and when you try you can. For the poem don't listen to others don't let them to stop you from following your dreams, and the video if others can't see your dream it wasn't given to them it was given to you.
    5) This matters because we should not listen to others and we should try and follow our dreams. If we don't listen then we will become what we want. A lot of things will prevent us from acting is the fear of failure. When we invest time on ourselves that is the  greatest ability we have us human beings. This is why it matters.
          I can apply this to my life and make it better by not listening to others and follow my dreams. I will try and not listen and will prove them wrong. I would say yes, yes i can. I will not let others tell me what i cannot do that is not me. This is what i will do to apply it to my life and make it better.

  26. 1.   The poem is saying that to never under estimate someone . Never tell them something you think they can't do because they can prove you wrong and if they don't succeed they at least tried.

    2. Based upon my experience this means that I have proven people that I can do stuff they thought I couldn't do. And I have failed a lot of times trying to prove them but at least I tried and did my most best in the process.

    3. watch video

    4.  The poem is similar to the video is because its talking about failure. And people don't want to fail again. So in order to not fail is to keep trying and learn how to accomplish things u want to or need to.

    5.This relates to my life because I've had done thing and tried to succeed but I didn't, But that didn't take away my faith and keeping me away from trying again. I  have to keep on trying until accomplish what ever I need to accomplish.

  27. In your own words, summarize the poem. (1-2 Sentences) In my words I summarize as this guy thought that he couldn't do it be himself that it was to hard, so some guy told him it is always never to hard and you just got to push your self hard because nothing is impossible. Also there is always some where to start it will never be to early it will never be to late so start now and finish as a champion later.
    Based upon your experience, what does this mean to you? (2-3 sentences) One thing is from the videos is that there is no possible way there is such thing as starting to late or starting to late. Another is never be satisfied with yourself because if you are you will never reach your limit to success. Last but not least is most people feel like kings in there comfort zone but they won't set out of there our to explore.

    How are the video and the quote similar? How do they differ? (3-5 sentences) In a way its similar because they are both try to motivate someone and can them to push harder. Another they differ. because the poem talks about one person and the video talks about in general.
    Ultimately, why does this matter and how can you apply the concepts to your life to make it better? (2-3 paragraphs

  28. 1. I think this quote means stop distracting yourself with stuff or objects and follow your dreams. And if you never try you will never know if you can do it.

    2.in my own words i think this means to not give up and follow what makes you happy . and don't stop distracting yourself try new things.


    3. * Acting is a fear to fail.
    * We don't want to do our own things without peoples' approval.
    * You have to ask yourself what you really want to do.
    * Don't wait for the things to be perfect.
    * We have unlimited potential.d
    * You have to put effort on you and concentrate on you.
    * You have to say yes to your dreams.

    4.i think they are similar because that telling you not to give up on your dreams and to concentrate on you even if that distract you you can still do what you want. Also to never give up and not be afraid to fail. And you have all the potential you need. And do what you really want to do and say yes to your dreams and follow them. Try new things even if you are uncomfortable with them do not wait for peoples approval because they will not give it to you and you can't care what everybody thinks of you. Even if that hurts your feelings just keep going on and don't stop until you succeed because the only thing that is stopping you is you. Do you do you and you concentrate on yourself and do not care what everybody thinks of you because everybody has in opinion of everything and you can make everybody happy because I would take a long time and you just don't have the time. Move on and don't care where everybody thinks of you. And do not be afraid of anything because you can do anything you want and anything you put your mind to. Because you have to stay focus and do what's best for you.


    5. This is important because we can the others getting our way of our success. It's too important for us not to care and just to give up on ourselves. We are too important and weak at the other people decide what our future is going to be like or how our life is going to turn out. And take opportunities you usually do not take why would you want to make someone else feel better for something they did. Focus on your path two greatness. We can do a lot of things we have to get out of our conference in and grow as the person because if we don't grow then what are we doing. It takes time and a lot of energy to be successful and you have to work for what you want and not just lay around doing nothing because at the end you end up with nothing. Do not give up on yourself because you are better than what you think you are you have to make great decisions for yourself and do what's best for you and do also what's best for your future. Do not be afraid to fill for example if you get an F on your test that's just the sign for you to study more and do what you need to do to get great on the test. Love from your mistakes and grow from them. Don't go around live doing nothing because it will hunt you at the end leave your marke in the the world don't be in nobody. Be an amazing person than life being accomplished person is a great feeling. And when you do great on something you just feel so great because you know you've earned that and the that's your right to say they you are doing great. Don't let nobody bring you down cuz that just makes it all a little bit less better. Block out all your insecurities and all your worries because you can do whatever you put your mind to and that is greatness.

    4.Ultimately, why does this matter and how can you apply the concepts to your life to make it better? (2-3 paragraphs) 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.
