  1. 1.) Take notes
    2.) Based upon my experience that video meat that average people will have less disadvantages. This video means that a average mindset is bad for your financial future. The majority of wealthy people don't think average.
    3.) The poem and the video are similar because they talk about the right skill of mindset. They are different because because the video has more detail than the poem and the video talks about an average skill of mindset. The poem only talks about greatness and motivation the video only talk about reality.
    4.) I summarize that the video and the poem talks about the right skill of mindset. I think this concept is good because it makes people open up with were they are right now. the video talks about the average skill of mindset. The poem makes you a little bit more motivated to accomplish your dream. The only thing different about the video and the poem is that the video talks about finance, the poem talks about your dreams.
    5.) I would like to change my mindset when making the right decision. I would like to change the way I look at my life because it's going no where. I would like to change it because it's on of the main issues i have right now.
    6.) If i change that are in my life I think i would have a pretty good life.The reason why is because my mindset effects the way I see my financial future . Another thing I need to do is change my attitude. The reason why I have to change my attitude is because a leader needs to have a good attitude towards others, that's what makes a good leader and one day I hope to become a big leader in society. The reason why I want to be a major leader in society because our world is turning in to a violent place slowly and someone has to stop that.
    7.) The message in the video and in the poem matter to me because it i'll help other people with the right skill of mindset. It personally helps me when I am spiritually broken down, so when i am in that stage I could just remind my self of the poem. When I am financially struct i could apply the video to help me go through that crisis.The principle in the concept are good spiritually and financially. My spirituality effect my financial skill of mindset, it can effect if dramatically or excellently.

  2. 1.So this means that's any mistakes you make anything you slack on you will have to live with it. So if you want to mess up and make terrible mistakes. Okay but you are going to live with it for the rest of your life.

    2.So the video and poem are similar because in the poem it states "I will acknowledge my failures ". In the video it states "Every decision you make you have to live with it". So you just have to accept your failures and make them into a positive thing.They are different because the videos talks about not being average and building a phenomenal life.The poem is stating to be grateful of what you have .

    3.The poem is describing yourself as person some people might thing they are nothing and are not able to accomplish anything.In this poem though it's saying you can do it you can accomplish anything if you put your mind to it and put in hard work and dedication.The video is explaining that yeah your are going to mess up in life and make mistakes.If you choose to make those mistakes so be it but you are going to have to live with it for the rest of your life.Their is hope though you can rebuild your life and make a better and more successful life.Even if you start all the way at the bottom your at the lowest in life you can still thrive and be something in life.It's not going to be easy either you are going to have put in blood, sweat, and tears to get what you want.

    4.An area in life i would like to change in life is school i do work hard and i try my best but i feel like im not giving it my all.I need to push myself more in order to get those high scores in test and good grades in class.

    5.If i actually changed my habits in school and worked harder than ever i think i would most definitely have better grades.I would have way better studying habits in school to get ready for a big test or big exam.I will also have to not and try to get my grades up which is a pain and stressing doing all the missing assignments.I would be more motivated in school because i would have better grades which make me feel good about myself in general.Lastly i would be making my mom more proud yes shes proud of me now because i have raised grades but its not good enough for me i can be better.

    6.So the message in both the poem and video matter to me because I've made lots of mistakes in life.Knowing their is hope to rebuild my life and fix it is a relief.It also gives me motivation to be better and improve and makes me want to work harder and to go and get it.I will apply this to my life by putting more effort in my work and into my life as well.I will get my things done and not be that person who slacks on everything. wither it be in school for home work or outside of school in my personal life.

  4. 1. WATCH VIDEO/NOTES



    2. In my experience the quote means that I will acknowledge everything I do and I know who I am. The video means that if I see something that I don't like in my life, I need to take responsibility and fix it for myself. I am the one that is living my life, I'm the one who is going to have to live in it.



    3. The poem and video are similar because they are both telling you that you are your own person. You are very aware of what you are doing and you know how you will affect your life. The poem and video are different because the poem is giving you the message that you are supposed to know who you are. You are supposed to recognize your accomplishments more than anything else because the is what defines you more. The video is basically telling you that if there is something in your life you don't like or want to do, you are supposed to be the one take action to change it. If you are doing a great effort than you will get great results, if you are doing poor than you will get poor results. The outcome is how much you were willing to try.



    4. What the poem is saying that you are supposed to know who you are. It doesn't you have to, but it interprets that you shouldn't focus on the mistakes you have done. Focus more on what you are accomplishing and what is you are doing to accomplish your goal. The video is saying that if you are giving a job average effort, than the outcome will be average. You are the only one who is living your life, YOU are the only one responsible to make changes into it. In what you are building, that's what you will be living in, it's your job not others to do for you. Every decision you make you will live in it, so if you don't like any part of your life, fix it.

    1. 5. One area in my life I would like to make a change in is my school effort. My grades are not that bad that's why I don't put in as much effort into it as I should be. I don't want to be getting average grades, I want to be getting the best grades I possibly can or push them to more.



      6. This change in the are of my life would be sensational. My parents are always bugging me about how I am never doing nothing, and that I do not deserve what I have. I want to be grinding in school so I could make it into UCLA. The change in my grades would make it more possible to reach that opportunity. My parents don't come from money, so if I improve my grades they won't have to worry about paying for school because I can be eligible for a scholarship. When I get rewarded with something I feel very proud of myself. It has been a while since I have got reward so for doing good in school, I will be getting recognized and get awarded for it.

      These changes will change my whole life and make it possible for me to do things that I want to do. I always talk about how I want to make changes in the world. But how if I am not even putting the average effort for me to reach them? There will be a change in my character also, I will be more confident to do more academic things and reach out for more opportunities. My friends are always bragging about their grades and I always feel like the dumb one out of the group. There are some career opportunities I want to take in the future, but there are certain requirements for it. If I actually have a change in this area, it wont be a little change, it will be a huge change that will change my whole life and even me.


      7. The messages matter to me because I am always focusing on what I am doing wrong in my life. I need to give myself some credit for the things that I do, do right. And even if I am focusing on the bad things I do in my life, I am the one that is supposed to be taking action into my life and change it. I can't be expecting people to push me forward, it is my life and I am pushing myself to do great. When I feel like I am not good enough to do something, I still have to pursue it. It is not about what you wear, it's about how you grind. This matters because I am capable of making changes in my life, what effort I put into it is the results I will get.

      I can apply the principles to my life because I have the hobby of never giving myself credit for the things I am accomplishing. I am my own person, I know who I am and what my intentions are, I should give myself credit for the things I am on my way to accomplishing. The bad things that I do not like in my life, I need to stop ignoring them because it is my life and I am the one who is living it.The type of effort I put in will also be the outcomes I get. When I am doing something, I need to be my own boss and pretend it is for someone else, that will push me more to get better results. When i am doing my work I am always saying, "This isn't even for me why am I doing it?". But no, this is my reality and and I am going to live on what i build.

  5. 1. Take notes

    2. Based upon my experience this means that if i don't like something i should rebuild it to where i like it. In the past iv'e done something and ended up not liking the results. For example whenever i take a test or quiz and i don't like me test score, i ask the teacher for a retake to take the test again to get the score i want. It's a better feeling to do something and like the results rather than not liking the results.

    3. The video and the quote are different because they both have different means and mention things the other doesn't. The quote is basically only talking about you. It says things like you should acknowledge your failures and that you're unique. The video is different. The video is talking about how if you don't like something you've built then rebuild it again to the point where you actually like it. They are both the same because they both talk about you. How everything you do will effect your life.

    4. The summary of the video is basically you live in the reality you build. If you don't like something then do something about it. It's your life and you live in it so all of your decisions will reflect on your life and hoe you live it. The quote means you are who you are. You are unique and special. You will acknowledge your success.

    5. Something i'd like to change in my life is how I'm to afraid to do things or make the first move. I think i'd probably be much more happier and relieved if i actually did the things i want to do and stop overthinking things.

    6. Overthinking has made me step back so many times and iv'e missed so many opportunities because of that. I think if i wasn't to afraid to make the first move i wouldn't be stuck with regret of not doing want i deep down wanted to do. If i actually changed the way i am i'm pretty sure i'd be much happier. If i wasn't so afraid to do things i'd do a lot of tings i'd want to do and love the result if it.

    7. The quote matters because when you read it, it actually kind of motivates you and makes you think you're unique and special. Which is a good thing because everyone should feel special and unique and should also acknowledge their mistakes. The quote says "i will be grateful for my success". I should acknowledge that line because it means that for all the success you make in life you'll be grateful for it. You should always reward yourself for the success you make.
    The video motivates me to rebuild anything i don't like. It also motivates to do something about something if i don't like it. The video says "you live in the reality you build". That makes me rethink my decisions. The decisions i make will effect my life and this motivates me to make good decisions for a better life.

  6. 2) Based upon my experience this to me means that if something in your life bothers you don't just leave it alone fix it. This to me also means that you shouldn't give up you should try. If u want to live in a good place start building that place now.
    3) The poem and the video similar and differ in many ways. One way that they are similar is that they both say that you should start winning for yourself. Another thing they have in common is that they both are saying that you should make your path to greatness.They also both say they are going to recognize what they failed on to have a good future. One thing that they have that isn't similar would be that the poem says that they will use their abilities so they can get to greatness. While the video says that they will build their house and see if it leads them to greatness.Another thing they have that differs would be that the video says if you don't like something fix it and the poem doesn't talk about this.
    4) The video is basically meaning that if you want to live in a good place you have to start making the place. This means that you should start getting good grades so that it can add up to be a good place you live in. This also means that you should start doing good things to get something better out of it. If something is already made you can't throw it away you have to do something with it. Just like if you build a house that's where u have to live. The poem says that you need to realize what you're doing bad so u cant end up in greatness. It means that u need to stop messing up so that way you can get far in life.
    5) An area I would like to change in would be in school. Sometimes I get really bad test scores and it makes me feel like a mess. What I have to do is study and focus on getting my grades up so I can start building a nice house for myself.
    6) I feel like if I fixed this area in my life I would feel like a successful person. I feel like my whole entire life would change. I feel this way because I know that my parents would be proud of me. My parents would also spoil me. I want them to be proud of me and show me off.
    The change will basically be me going from a 50 to an 100. This will show not only my parents but it will show everyone that my house will be very nice. I would want to live in my house if i built it this way. I would want to live in it but i need to start making those changes. I will need to start making big changes so it can lead me to greatness.
    7) The message in the video and in the poem matter to me a lot. They matter to me because if I put myself in their shoes I would understand. I understand that they are just trying to lead us to success. That is one of the reasons why it matters. Another reason why it matters is because they tell you that you should fix your mistakes to get to greatness. Also that you should do good to have a good house and future.
    I can apply these to my life starting off by fixing my errors. I can also start studying to get my grades up and be successful. I can also start doing good so I can start building house. I want a good house because once I start building it I can't stop building it unless I start all over again and I don't want to start all over again. If i start applying all of this in my life it will get me to greatness and my house would be big just like my future.

  8. 1. Watch video and take notes.

    2. This video means that if I put any effort and I don't care how I do it your gonna get the same back. If you don't try your best you won't get something good in return just like you didn't try hard enough . You are always supposed to try your best on anything you are told to do because you wouldn't like it if someone else didn't try hard enough especially if that something was for you. You can't try your best after you are told you are not doing good because maybe they won't contact you or tell you to do something again because they are gonna think you don't care about your job.

    3. The poem is saying that you are a great hard working person and that you will try your best and won't let know one down. And the video is saying that if you don't try your best you will get the same thing back just how you didn't try they , they aren't gonna try to give you something in return.And they are different because the poem mostly talks about how you are successful and that you are a very unique person, and that you will put a lot of effort on whatever you are told to do. And the video talks about how you are NOT putting effort in your work. the video says that if you don't try your best on something you will not get a big reward. You wouldn't like it if someone else wasn't trying there best on something you told them to do. Especially if you told them something you want them to do and that something is for you. and they are similar because the poem explains how great of a person you are and how great of a hard working unique man you are. And the video also explains how hard working someone can be and how they are great as a person. And actually try there best on something they are assigned on , no matter who its for.

    4. The video and poem explains how someone can be so hard working and how they aren't lacking or doing less, but giving more . The video also has there differences too though. Like for example, If a boss asked a worker to do something for him the worker might not put a lot of effort because he knows that it isn't for him . That's why its different from the poem because the poem only explains how some is so good at something and always perfect on whatever you tell them to do. And the video doesn't only explain that, but also how someone can be late to work and not try their best on their assigned jobs.

    5. If I were to change something in my life it would be the way I do my stuff. Like actually study for a test and not lie about how I did study. And also I will give my best effort on anything my teachers and parents will tell me to do because if you don't they won't give you something you would like or expect. For example, if you don't try your best on whatever assignment your given your teachers won't give you a good grade in return. And if your parents tell you to do some chores at home and not actually try your best your parents won't give or buy whatever you want because they know you didn't put a lot of effort. That's why I would change that part of my life , to be a responsible young man.

    1. 6. If I would to change that part of my life it would look really good because you will be successful and wouldn't be worrying about whatever grade your gonna get in your classes or what your parents will say to you if you didn't clean or do whatever you are asked to do at home. I would be a responsible young man because I'm keeping up with everything I got to do or whatever I am asked to do. And if you are told to do something they will trust you to actually do it because they know you really try your best. And other than that you will be having an awesome life with respect by your parents and teachers.

      And if I actually do that and keep on trying my best I can actually get a good job and get paid good because my boss won't be expecting nothing less, but something more from me. And they can have trust in you and if they tell you to do anything your boss can have confident that you will actually do it and will try your best. My parents can be really proud of me and will have respect under my name because of what kind of person i grew up to be in my life. And my parents will feel blessed for having me and wouldn't feel bad for not raising me right.

      7. This is really important to me because it can really improve my way of living in this life. And my parents won't be all up on me on whatever I got to do. My teachers won't be expecting something bad from , but something good from me. And I want them to be really proud of me for what I am doing in my life.

      This will really make my life really easier because I wouldn't be behind any work or chores that my teachers and parents have assigned me to do. And they wouldn't be telling me to do this or that on the regular basis because of what I am doing and showing them. I really want them to think of me as a good responsible hard working student and young man I am becoming. That's why its so important to me to accomplish this in my life.

  9. 1._Video.

    2._ This means that everyone is special and you have to believe in yourself, we have to think about the future like a next step of being someone in the future, being someone in this real world. We need to get this serious by believing that we can do it, and if we make mistakes, we have to fix them and try again and not giving up.

    3._The poem and the video are similar because both are telling you that life is great and we have to live it, it tells you that you earn what you deserve and we have to fight to get a better life because we deserve it, but we can make mistakes and if we don't fix them and we are making them again for no reason, then that means that we are doing something wrong and we have to think about this problem, we need to change. We need to win and be great, not good because we need to live happy with the things that make us happy. They different because on the video , it tells you an example of someone who build his own life, who fight for everything and the poem just tells you a note or a tip that you have to say everyday.

    4._ The message that the video and the poem are trying to give you is that you have to learn how to build your own future, you have to think about the real world because not every time someone is going to be there for us, we need to fight on our own to make this happen. People need to know that if we do something wrong or right, it is our own problem because we are making our life like this, we are failing but this is just going to affect ourselves. we need a motivation to build our life, but if we don't like the way we look or the way we do the things, we need to do something about it. You have a phenomenal life but is up to you if you want to rebuilt it to make it even more phenomenal.

    5._ I would like to change my life from middle school, when I was 12 or 13 years old because I didn't thought about my future, I used to think that my family was going to give me everything, But something happen and I'm not happy about that but It made me more strong and that happened when I had to leave my mom and my family but the good thing is that it was for a phenomenal reason, because I was going to rebuild my life and I did.

    6._ If I would'd changed this, maybe if I would'd put more effort on my education and pay attention at school, listen to my mom all the time, not getting in trouble, maybe just maybe I didn't have to change that much from myself, I didn't have to leave my mom and start doing my own thing, maybe I could've more support from my family and I could've be some important in life.

    It would it look different because i wouldn't be here if i didn't have to change at all but my family told me that I needed to put effort on my decisions because I wasn't good enough to do the things, but I realized that I will live in the reality that I feel, and I decided to change to become a new person, because I didn't like my old boring life, i didn't want to be back to those days that I've told myself that i wasn't going to be someone in life, and I need to be prepared for that, because I'm building my own life, my own future.

    7._ This message from the poem and the video are important to me because thought me that I'm not going to give up,it showed me that I am in the middle of my education and I can't go back but if I do, It will be hard to go back again where I was. This is important because I really need to think about me and that I am building my future and it's just me and nobody else, if I make a mistake then I really need to fix it and changed it .

    I can apply it to myself by doing the right things to get into a new life, into a great life where I am going to be happy for what I made and I will be good.The mistakes that you make are going to be your own problem, don't blame other people of your actions because you need to take responsibility.

  10. 1. Notes & Video

    2. Based upon my experience this means having to question ourselves about the lives we are living. Asking ourselves if we are happy with what we have build through out our years of living. Thinking deeply into what we would like to do and how we will get there.

    3. The video and quote are similar because they both give the same idea. By that I mean, both of them are talking about how we need to find who we are and be completely satisfied and happy with it. They differ by the way the quote just talks about positive ways we should look and say to ourselves. Although, the video gives a message on how we need to build up the person we want to be. For example,if we do not like how we have grown to be because of the bad habits we have then we should build on changing into better humans, the humans we wish to be.

    4. The poem was giving a message to everyone. A lot of us wish to be that way but something might be in the way from us achieving that goal. It could be things like being irresponsible or bad habits we tend to do. Overall, this quote is encouraging us to become the best person we can. Our well being has to do a lot with how we look and feel about the kind of person we are growing to be.

    The video tells us about how we should build up and become better people if we are not happy with who we have become to be. Change takes time and many mistakes will be made but it is a process that can be done. You need dedication in order to even start, without hesitation is when you know that the process has become. Quitters will give us an example of what we do not want to turn into. The starting point to this is the bottom and the only way to the top is putting in effort and making sacrifices.

    5. An area of my life that I would like to put change in is my personal life. My life has always been very different, nothing stays the same. I am learning to accept what I have and don't. Self love is what I am currently working on, in the seventh and eighth grade I grew to be very insecure with my body. I did not like many parts of my body and I tried to do almost anything to hide them. Although, I realized that why be scared ? I only have one life and I shouldn't waste it on trying to have the body I dreamed of having when I have already been given this one. Instead I should be grateful and live my life the way I want and be truly happy while doing it.

    6. I possibly do believe that if i was able to make this change I would be happy for a little bit and then loose that happiness at times. I say this because everyone has a different body and it has all its perks,and that helped me understand the saying " nobody is perfect ". I know we might all have different view of that means but that one is mine. I do believe that I can build on this confidence to make myself a better human. So many of us are caught up with being the best but my opinion is that why not be the best version of yourself instead of what others think.

    7. The message in the video and poem matter to me because of I know damn well that I need to remind myself this everyday. I do not need an approval for any person to tell me how I should live my life because they do not know what my happiness looks like. I need to keep in mind that I should be doing anything in my power to build myself higher without caring others say. No ones opinion should get to me and affect the way I live life and or look at myself. I need to make my life better and keep on building.

    I can apply this to my life to make it better by following what I think is best for me. All the steps i take is what was meant to happen and will help in the future so that I can become successful. Success is worked for, and if I do not give 120% I will not get very far. My career matters, my job matters, my future self matters, my future family matters, and what I do today will affect my future. So, being able to say that I did all this hard work because I wanted to be successful will one day be a true statement.

  11. 1. video / notes

    2. Based on my experience this all means to do what is necessary to get the job done. Spend whatever you want to spend, bring whoever you want to bring in, and bring whatever equipment you need to get that job done. Don't let anyone over see you and don't let anyone give you commands or demand while you're working, you are your own boss.

    3. The video and the poem both talk about give it all you got and achieve it. You are here to win. You are doing what you are doing to win or achieve. The poem is saying to learn from your mistakes and you'll be great. Be grateful for you success don't deny it. The video says that you are you own boss don't let anyone tell you what to do something about your job. They share similarities because they both say focus on your job and to create a legacy. Be careful what decisions you make.

    4. The video and the poem are both saying that do what necessary to get the job done. Don't let anyone give you commands or instructions about your work you are your own boss. Be serious when you work or doing your job. focus on your job so you could do good and feel good about yourself what you did. Put more than one hundred percent in your work. You built your life good or bad you live with it, it was your decision to make. Be careful of your decisions because you live with those decisions. Put full effort in your job.

    5. An area of my life i want to change is listening to my parents more and getting good grades, paying attention in class and doing homework. Be careful what decision you make in your life because it will bite you back in the future. Build a phenomenal life not a average life do it the chance you have in your life and opportunities you have in your life.

    6. If i change the area in my life when i don't listen to my parents and get bad grades my life will change a lot. My parents will give me more stuff and say i deserve it. My grades will be better and i will have a better chance to go in a college and go to the next grade. Go the extra mile in your life or job so you can have a phenomenal life. Make your life Phenomenal so you life will be interesting and not average. You are building your life every good decision you make. You are tearing and destroying your life when you make bad decisions and shortcuts.

    You'll lose it all if you keep being average and lazy. You are not a victim of your circumstances you are a product of your effort. Put more than one hundred percent in your family and your life. Focus on your job so you could do good and feel good about yourself and what you did. Don't let anyone one over see you. Don't let anyone command you or demand you to do something. don't let anyone give you instructions you give yourself instructions. You are your own boss. be serious when you work or when your doing your job and be focus in all time.

    7. It matters to me because you should do what is necessary to get the job done. Be careful of you decisions because those decisions are your future. Put more than one hundred percent in your decisions, on your work, and your life. Be careful what you built in life because you got to live with that the rest of your life. Build a phenomenal life of your own. Go the extra mile in your job and life. Put full effort in your life. You'll lose it all if you keep doing average.

    You are not a victim of your circumstances you are a product of your effort. Don't let anyone over see you. Don't let anyone give you commands or demands. Don't let anyone give you instructions because you are your own boss. Focus on your job so you could do good and feel good what you did and feel good about yourself. Put more than one hundred percent of your life and job and your family. Go the extra mile on your job and family and your life. Build a phenomenal life.

    2) Based off my experience, what this mean to me is that the decisions you make now is going to effect your future. What you decide to do, who you decide to be is going to effect your future and it basically describes how your future is going to be. What you are building now you are going to live in it.

    3) Comparing the poem to the video, what I see similar is they are both telling you to use all you got to create something. To be able to achieve it. Sooner or later life's just going to keep getting harder so might as well reach to your success now. The video was saying how your decisions that you are making now can effect your future. The poem is saying to ACKNOWLEDGE your failures. As long as you are grateful for what you already have achieve right now and what you have.

    4) Basically the message just wants you to know that if you want to reach to the top, start the work now. Everything you are deciding to do now is going to follow you later on. Even if you tend to fail at some point, keep going because giving up isn't the key to success. That's something you already build now you got to live in it. Keep a positive mindset and just always remember you are going to succeed whatever your doing so that can motivate you. To make your life a phenomenal life.

    5) The area of my life where i want to make a change in is the person I am right now. I love myself but what I hate about how I am right now is how I tend to slack off and not being able to finish the thing that is most important to me. That is something I would like to change about myself because I know what I'm building now is going to eventually effect my future.

    6) If i decide to change this area of my life now my future would of been better. Instead of having extra classes just to support what I don't get, i could have been in the higher level classes. What i want to change so bad is just that I need to JUST be able to focus more on my studies because what I am doing right now is really effecting what's going to happen to be in the future. I waist every minute of my time doing something else that's not really that import when i should of been keeping my eyes on my studies. If i can change just ONE thing, it would be that. Not only will i be a better student, i would of got to the top way faster than this cause now i'm really falling behind. I have to live in what i have already build.

    7) Why the message in the video and quote mean to me is because it really makes me have second thoughts about what i'm doing right now. Coming to school and be able to not focus because I've been slacking off for so long that school does not even matter no moreocus. If i want to be successful in life i have to keep my head on whats important

  13. 2. Based upon my experience, the video means that you should always work hard and put your best effort. If you put in average effort, you'll have an average life. You need to set your standards higher and put strong effort instead of average. If you put average effort, you will get average out of life. You live in what you build, so if you do bad in school & don't put effort you will live a very unsuccessful life.Every corner you cut and short cut you take is tearing you & your life down. Based upon my experience, the quote means to always believe in yourself, be confident, and know what your plan is for your life.

    3. The video & quote are different & similar in many ways. First, the video and quote are similar because the video talks about how you need to work hard because you live what you build. You have to set yourself for a phenomenal world & life, do more than what you think you can do. The quote talks about how you need to believe in yourself & know what you want in life. The video & quote are different because the quote talks about how you are special and unique, but in the video it says that it doesn't matter what you wear, it matters how you ride.

    4. The poem talks about how you need to believe in yourself and to know what you want in your life. The quote also talks about how you need to feel confident that you will succeed. It's about believing in you succeeding, and knowing the good path for yourself. Every decision you make, means that you are going to live with that decision. The video talks about how you need to work your hardest and think that average isn't okay. If you in average effort, you will live an average life. If you put in average work, you will get average out of life. You will live in what you build. You need to set yourself with high standards, so you don't get average. You should set yourself for a phenomenal world & life.

  14. 5. An area of my life that I would like to make a change in is my lack of confidence. I always think I won't be able to do a certain thing or I think I won't be able to succeed. I always think negative about everything & don't think I did good on a certain thing, even though I should.

    6. If I changed this area in my life, I think I would do much better on things I thought I couldn't do. I would actually do better on subjects or things I thought I couldn't do or accomplish.I also think that I would have a better chance of succeeding. If I was in college, and I had an exam to take and I wasn't confident, I'd most likely do a horrible job. If I was confident and had a better mindset about things and I had an exam in college I would most likely score way better. If I wasn't confident during a exam I would score poorly because of how much I would be telling myself on how I would fail. If I had strong confidence, I would score way better because I would be confident enough to tell myself I would pass.

    Secondly, If I changed this area in my life I would be able to do more things. I would be able to interact with more people and have more opportunities to do things. If I wasn't confident people in college wouldn't want to interact with me in a activities because I would probably mess up things for the team. I would also have more opportunities because I would be able to do a lot more things such as talk in front talk in a crowd, score well on tests, and do better in school. If I were to mess up things for my classmates in college, I would most likely get a bad grade just because I wasn't confident about my work.

    7. The message in the video matters to me because I want to work hard & put the best effort I can in everything I do. If I do average work I will live an average life. If I put in average work, I will get average out of life. I need to set my standards higher, and do the best I can to make the best decisions. Every thing is up to me so every single decision I make, means that I'm going to live with that decision for the rest of my life. I'm going to live in whatever I build, so I have to do the best that I can do. I have to set myself for a phenomenal life & world.

    The message in the quote matters to me because I want to be able to know what I want in life. I want to have my life planned and ready for the future. I also want to believe in myself and make sure I'm on track to greatness. I want to believe in myself and make sure I believe I'm going to succeed. I don't want to think that I'm not going to succeed because then I won't. I want to do everything I can to make sure what my plan is for the future. I want to make sure that I work hard & put my best effort.

    *Understand your decision
    *If you put average effort you will live and average life
    *You will live in what you build
    *Live in the reality you build
    *You are not a victim of your circumstance
    *You are a product of your effort
    *If you don't like it do something about it


    2. To me this means you get what you do. This also means if you do it bad bad will happen to you. what you do is what you will get.

    3. The poem and the video are similar because they both want you to pursue greatness.
    The poem and the video are similar because they both want you to acknowledge your failures.The poem and the video are similar because they both want you to be grateful for your success.The poem and the video are similar because they both want you to use the your talents and abilities.They are different.

    4 .So don't be a failure just try and you'll succeed if you give your 100% on your work.Don't give 90,80,70,60,50,40,30,20,or even 10% you'll need Your !00% to do your work. So even if it's easy and you think "oh i can do this no problem" just Remember that you still need to give your 100% on the test.1

    5. The one area I would like to make a change is elementary school Because i was not giving my best effort.So i want to make it up for my teachers so they can know "he's going to be a good kid when he's older.This would change how my life style would work everyday. Instead of going home and going straight to my phone, I would get a snack, then get straight into my homework. And then my parents wouldn't be telling me to do my homework over and over again. If I were to do the same thing everyday I would be done with my homework early so then I would have time to spend on something that I like to do.


    6. It would look like i'm A honer student and my teachers will have a different perspective about me.Then my school years will be different as well i will have good grades and my parents will have a good thought about me.) It would look good because my parents would like it when i don't talk back to them and when i get good grades. because i would get anything if i do those things and they would be happy. even if i ever happen then my dad would teach me how to drive around. and they would buy me the things what i want like a paint ball gun or a dirt bike and some other things. even my life would be better if that happen i would be happy to because i wanna see what i did.

    7.I can apply this to my life so i know that by not giving my all i will not succeed and i will fail and watch my friends succeed.Another way i can apply this to my life is that i will know to give my all to my work and school and so i will not fail. I also want people to forget about how I used to be because my past is what distracts me of my future and it prevents me from moving on in my life.
    This helps because everyone needs something that can help them be the best or just good at something. So in the end yes I have gone through changes and I do want to change more later on so I can keep moving on in my life.

  16. 1. Watch video and take detailed notes




    2. Based upon my experience the video and poem means to me that you have to make decisions that will build you a great future. And every decision you make your just building more and more and because if you don't put in any effort you wont get anything out of it. You have to set things higher for yourself and put in more effort.Every shortcut you make you are destroying everything you build down.And understand every decision you make because you will have to live with that decision.



    3. The video and poem have many similarities and differences for example one difference they have is that one is about the decisions you make and how you build on the decisions you make. A similarity they both have is that they both tell you that everything you put in it the more you get out of it in the end. Another similarity is that they want you to live an amazing life and they both tell you to strive for greatness. Some more differences are that the video doesn't really talk about how you have to make or create a great legacy. It mostly tells you to make decisions you wanna live with not the ones you don't.



    4. In my own words the message behind the video and poem is that you are your own person and there is only one of you. you have to make decisions you understand and you know are good.Because every decision you make is very important in how your life is gonna come out and how your gonna be as a person. Also to be on the track of greatness and knowing you know your doing great and your doing whats in your best interest. Another thing is that you have to put in everything you have because if you don't you wont get anything out of it. And to not take any short cuts because your gonna be destroying and tearing down everything you built.



    5. An area of my life i would like to change is being motivated to do things even when i don't want to. I wanna find something that motivates completely and inspires me to do my best and not have to do something i just don't want to do.I wanna get to the point where i just do it with out hating to do it or just not wanting to i automatically wanna have it down.


    6. If i actually changed this are in my life it would be amazing i would just do my homework with out having to complain about doing it. I would study way more and my grades will be so much different and way better i wouldn't have to make any excuses and just do my work. i would come home and just start on my homework and not start it at the last moment. I wouldn't tell myself to get out of bed and study for a test i would already be doing that and being a step ahead. Another thing that would look different is that i would be putting in way more effort even in the places i don't want to put any effort in.


    i wouldn't complain any more and have my stuff handled with my decision making would be very different i would decide to study not just study ten minutes before the test.



    7. The message in the poem and in the video matter because it tell me i need to make better decisions or else i'm gonna have to live with the bad decisions i make. It is also important because i would put in all my effort into everything i do and try to make a deference. I would apply this to my life by doing my work and doing my homework not just when i feel like it. Another thing i would apply to my life is to make better decisions that will predict my future and life. Another thing i would do is not take any short cuts and go that extra mile no matter what i do give a little extra in everything i do.


    I would also apply it to my life by studying way more and doing better on my test and trying to better my grades.

  19. 1.upon your experience, what does this mean to you? [2-3 Sentences] What this means to me if your doing something then make sure you put 120% in work and attitude. Another reason for what it means is how some people get lazy and how they just take short cut in life in stead of put 120% in what you are suppose to do. What it also means to me is that they are people who just give up on things just because it's not there's or there lazy about putting all in there work.
    2.Compare the poem and the video. How are they similar? How are they different? What similarities do they share? [3-7 Sentences] They are similar because they both try to tell you to do better in life and to put all your effort. The things that they share is how focus they are and just because they do extra doesn't mean your doing it for nothing. They are different because the video talk about a guy how he was going in to interment and the quote is a poem. A way they share similarities is how they both are talking about greatness and how to achieve it. How they are not similar is the video say to never go to work late and never have a average mind set. One way they don't similarities the fact that one talks about being a gladiator and that don't need nothing for them to succeeded in life. Finally how they are similar is they both have really really good mind set in them self's.
    3.Summarize the messages of both the poem and video in your own words? [1 Paragraph] How i'm going summarize is how they both talk about succeed and not giving up. The poem and video are similar because it talks about how you can make anything happen you just have top be able to live it and express it all the way through.The only way to success is to believe in yourself and finish strong.And the quote and video have something similar because they both talk about how you can now live your dream and be able to accomplish it, by thinking of ways to make you dream happen or any type of goal you want to complete in your life.Another way that they are similar is that they both are basically saying that you are what you build and that you you have to acknowledge what you put your effort on . They both also say that you live in the reality that you build. The poem and the quote are different in some ways to .

  20. 4.What is an area of your life that you would like to make a change in? [2-3 Sentences} First of all theirs a lot of areas what I wan't change, the ones i'm going to talk about is my way that I can treat people like s#%$ and sometimes I do't even notice. .So don't be a failure just try and you'll succeed if you give your 100% on your work.Don't give 90,80,70,60,50,40,30,20,or even 10% you'll need Your !00% to do your work. So even if it's easy and you think "oh i can do this no problem" just Remember that you still need to give your 100% on the test.
    5.What would it look if you actually changed this area or your life? Describe the change in detail. [1-2 Paragraphs] An area in my life that I want to make a change in is my school life. I want to be able to stop procrastinating and get my work done. There are reasons for why your grade is like that. Although, sometimes i try my best in a class and i still somehow am not able to bring it up. But i want to try harder and change that. You have to get the work done sooner or later because in the future, all you will be doing is work. It'll help you be motivated and realize that you are not the only person suffering.
    If I was to change this I think everything will be much more different and I feel like I will actually start feeling happy about things more often . I think that if I was to not let people from stopping me what I would have to do my life will be full of success and nothing but that . I will start doing my homework when I get home and I will not just lock myself in my room and listen to music , I will come out more and enjoy time with my family . Another area that I think in a way my life would change is by stop remembering the past . I think my life will change tremendously because that is just what has been holding me back lately remembering what I had before and what I lost . The way that it would change is that I think I will be a much more happier person in general and I will try to be more open to people . I will also stop start focusing on the present and not always thinking about the past .
    6.Why does the message in the video and the poem matter to you? How can you apply the principles to your life to make it better [ 1 -2 Paragraphs]The message in the video matters because i have to understand that everything that I do now will lead up to my life in the future. That means that like the video said I am building my house for the future. I want to live in the house that I build myself for the future so that means that I have to create a life for myself in the future that I would like to live. The message in the poem matters because you have to be on the track of greatness to be running to win. The only way to be on the track of greatness is to work hard. If you work then you will be on the track of greatness because you will be running to win.There are numerous reasons to why the quote and video can matter to me. The video explains that if you don't apply enough effort into life, you won't get the most of of it. Your house is essentially a house. You build that house based on your skills and effort that are applied. Depending on how much skill/effort you apply, the better the outcome of the house will be. The poem also talks about achieving greatness. It will always be better to accomplish something really well instead of average.

    to me
    2. based upon my experience this means you choose your life and make your own decisions.I also think it is saying you choose what you will become and your abilities and skills will say whether you will be successful or not

    3. they are similar because they both tell you that you choose your future and your path you will follow. They are both also similar because they both tell you about how your skills and abilities will reflect on how successful you will become they are different because the video talks about how average work will give you a average life while the quote doesn't. They are also different because the quote talk about creating a new legacy and the video doesn't.

    4. the message was to convince you to choose your lifestyle wisely and put a lot of effort in your work to be successful. they are both also telling you that success is not easy you have to work hard for it its not something that is just given to you it is earned. A good example of success would be Dr Eric Thomas because he has been through a lot and somehow became successful.He dropped out of high school and lived out in the streets and ate out of trashcans but he manged to turn his life around.He chose that lifestyle in high school he probably goofed off and expected to still be successful and became a nobody until now. He got up off his feet and decided to turn his life around and do something with his life.Look at where he is now he is one of the world's most best motivational speaker.

    5.If I changed how my performance was in school I would go home and be treated like a queen like the most loved kid in the house. I would go home and be able to relax and not have to go home hearing my moms mouth. Usually when I go home i have to walk in and get my backpack checked for homework and chores all day. I have to stay home everyday and study while her and her bf go have fun on the weekends. If turn my whole act around and study and work hard in school it would be way different.i would be able to have my freedom and go out with friends on weekends I would be able to go with my mom and her boyfriend out to restaurants instead of staying home eating a microwave dinner or leftovers.She would take me shopping and buy anything i wanted i could even get the I Phone 7 I want and the new J's. I could start back getting my allowance and i could have a good Christmas instead of watching everyone open up their gifts.

    6. The message and poem matter to me because they are telling me exactly how my life would be if i chose the wrong lifestyle. I could apply this to my life by choosing the right path and doing all i can to become successful. I could sacrifice something like my friends if they try to distract me from my work i would tell them to talk to me after class so I can focus. I would also try to stay after school and do all the work that i need to catch up on .Another thing i could do is challenge myself and tell the teachers to send me extra work home so i get improve my grades.I will take every opportunity to improve my life and and my academic skills and focus on my work. I believe I can accomplish theses goal and i believe i can be successful. At first i thought i was going to be a low life like my father but watching ET's videos have inspired me so much. i know i'm going to do something with my life I know I did bad for the first half of my semester. But next semester i promise you i will perform differently i'm gonna have a high GPA/

  22. 1.WATCH THE VIDEO AND TAKE NOTES!

    2.Based upon my understanding,this to me means that all the things i do in my life build up like a house.It can basically relate in like building a house,because all the things i do in my life will build a house for me.But if I succeed in my life and make good choices then i will be able to build a good house for myself.If can promise myself that i WILL go to college and succeed in it,then it will build a great house for me and my achievements.

    3.The poem and the video are kinda similar and differ in a few ways.The poem is similar to the video because they both talk about a momentum that keeps you going and heading for success.They can also be similar because they both talking about winning.Also by both of them talking about being yourself and believing in yourself.The poem differs from the video by the poem talking about how their is failure in everyone's life.Then video differs from the poem by talking about how if you don't like any part of your life than fix it.That you shouldn't just leave it alone,you have to fix it if you want to be happy in life.The similarities they share is how the both talk about success and passion about what you do.Last of all they both share the similarity of inspiring you to try your best to build the house you want.

    4.What the poem is trying to explain is that we are all supposed to know who we are as a whole.We can't just know ourselves as on piece,but as a whole human being.We have to be confident in what we do and how we do it to succeed in our life.Also the poem is trying to inspire you to do your best in everything you face off against,to not let yourself go down easily.Last of all the poem is trying to put all your knowledge and your abilities to the test of succeeding in your life with the techniques you feel comfortable with.The video is trying to say that what you do reflects off of you and builds a house for you and all the things you did.Also it is trying to tell you to fix your life if you don't like how it is,in any way.Last of all the video is trying to tell you to achieve high goals for yourself do you can have a really high chance of being successful in life and in anywhere you go.

    1. 5.In my opinion there is many things i want to change in my life.One thing i want to change form my life is that i want to start turning in work when its due, i don't want to turn it in late.I also want to get really awesome grades,i don't want anymore average grades i want to do my best in my life.Last of all i want to be able to change my habits of studying and more,I want to change it to where i study before a test is going to take place.

      6.In my opinion i think my life would look very different,it would look more professional than before.the aspects of my life would look even better than it is right now.It would look like i have all A's.If i would turn in all my homework i would look like i was a scholar ready for the challenges up-ahead.Also if i would be studying for my test i would be able to get good grades on my test.If i were to put in effort into my work i would be able to get rewards or even better.
      (PARAGRAPH 2)
      If i were able to get all these things done, I will finally take away some attention form my sister,because she is always showing off how good her grades are.So if i were able to do this in reality i would enjoy it so much.This can always help me in getting to a good college where i can work even harder to get my degree and work at a place i would enjoy.I will never be a victim of my own circumstances, i will always prevail challenges. Even if i face really hard problems in my life , i will always be prepared to face them.In might even get rewards if this is accomplished.

      7.The poem and the video should matter to everyone that hears it or reads it.This should matter because it is trying to help you be successful in life.So where you can go to better places than you have ever been at.You will have to put effort into your life by working hard.Also you can never be a victim of your own circumstances.

      (PARAGRAPH 2)
      I can apply this to my life by working hard throughout my life and by focusing a lot on my life up-ahead.You can also apply this to your life by Dominating the pain of everything.You have to be able to get your work done on time or else it will always reflect off of you.That failure will build a really bad house,that you will not enjoy.Like E.T. said "If you don't like how your life is going,FIX it!."By this i mean you have to always get your work done,you have to be able to hold the pain from holding you down.You have to embrace the pain you feel.You can't let pain hold you down form doing what you want to do.

  23. 1. Watch video and take notes.

    2. Based upon my experiences I think this means that you should not be average because if you are you will live an average life , even if you are average you should put more effort in that task and become greater.You need to put effort in every task so you can be successful, and maybe be even more successful by doing more than average. What I mean by doing more than average is to work even harder or else it may be possible to lose things like you're job, family, and maybe education. Therefore to me this means to just add more effort and not be average.

    3. The video and poem are similar and different in ways. The video and poem are similar because they both talk about how you will be successful but sometimes even fail, and when you fail you shouldn't take the shortcut out of it because every shortcut I take I will destroy my life, and when your life is destroyed then you will get no where.They are different because the poem talks about having successes and failures will keep you on track for greatness, if you fail you got to acknowledge. The video on the other hand talks about how you making you're own decisions without a shortcut will take you somewhere.

    4. The message that the poem and video is giving us is that you should never take the short way to something. You should not be average because if you are then you won't be as successful. When a task is given and you succeed you should be grateful and if you fail then acknowledge the failures, because you should never take the short cut. As said in the video every 'decision you make you're building it you are building you're life in every decision you make. On the other hand the video also said that "every shortcut you take you are destroying it" this is talking about how shortcuts will take you no where in life. You will live in what you build.

    5. An area in my life that I would like to make a change in is school. I would like too be more than average. What i'm saying is that I can have better grades, I can put more effort into my assignments. If I am more than average I have better chances in life. Every decision i'm making in life that is good will only benefit me because i'm actually building my life. I think I can have a better life by putting more than enough effort.

    6. If I changed the area I was having trouble with it would be more successful. My life would be more successful because I finally did more than enough and that may take me somewhere in life. Even though it may be a pain to put more effort in something but I know later on I can dominate that pain. Therefore I think I would become more successful if I put even more effort.

    7. The message in the poem and video matter because there may be times where you succeed and fail, sometimes you may fail and take shortcuts but they will not lead you anywhere. You need to put more than enough effort into your work or else you will be average and average will give you an ordinary life.

    I can apply these concepts in my life to make it better because sometimes you need to be more than average either putting more effort or just working on an assignment. Overall in order to succeed we can't take shortcuts because if we do we won't even be average.

  24. 1. Watched.

    2. I guess that what it means to me is that you do got to follow the instructions that you were told to do and the to build what you think is for others but is really for you to finish for you, and not do anything average but to do something for you to build in your reality so that you could enjoy while it lasts. 

    3. The video and quote are some what similar cause since they both talk about how you could not give up on what you had done that seems like something beautiful that you have done, they are a little different cause since one talks about how special you are and the video talks about how you effort could not just be average but could be different from what you have never done before. 

    4. The both are very interesting and how they explain to not acknowledge your failures and for you to not do average things, and to live a exciting an phenomenal life and world for you to live in. The video what he had said is that you have to understand every decision that you make and that you will have to live with that decision that you had made, and to put all your effort that you had put into what you had built to put into everything that your gonna go through. The quote was about how you got to respect yourself and for you to believe in yourself that you could do it and that you know that you had done something wonderful that you made that will make great legacy's and to keep you on track that will keep you on the same path you'll always be taking.

    5. I think that the only area that needs to be changed in my life is for me to start believing in myself enough for me to make sure that I do my exact effort to get it done by not giving an average effort that will not make me succeed on what I have done. 

    6. I think that if it were to actually happen that I would really be doing good in school and having much better grades then the ones that I already have that are really bad at the moment but it would be a huge difference if a place where I had give my exact effort enough for me to do good in school and for me to believe in myself enough for that to ever happen. But I guess that all I got to do is for me to stop doing what ever what is in my way and to focus on what I could be
    able to do.

    7. Its really important to me because since I really have the worst GPA and grades, and it might help me with my teachers and my parents that keep on telling me to keep on improving and to study and to do my work or homework, that's all that my other teachers tell me to do constantly. But I guess that I could actually learn from this and to do everything in my power to make sure that I raise up my grade so that I can make sure that my teachers and my parents could stop telling me all that I always got to do the work that was assigned for me to do.

  25. 2.) Based on my experience, this means if I made something and i don't like it, I should destroy it or do something about it. Don't just stay quite and let people choose for you, you have to choose for yourself you need to live life to the fullest because you only live once and if you just live an average life you"ll have a average life.


    3.)The poem and the video are the same because they both talk about, if you build something and you like it other people may like it and acknowledge your work. You can use your own talents and abilities to create a great legacy and live a phenomenal life, they also talk about how you need to put so much effort in what you believe in and in your own passion . They are different because the quote talks only about you and how unique you are and the video doesn't it just talks about in what you can do to not be an average person and just be something better, you can do better stuff if you just work hard and never give up on your goal.


    4.) The poem talks about you, only you and how great you can be if you put your abilities and talents together to create something fantastic to amaze people. You acknowledge your failures to learn from them, so you won't make the same mistakes over and over again and you can achieve greatness by working really hard to live life with passion and also live a phenomenal life. The video talks about how you can better and not live a average life because if you live a average life then you won't really get anything out of that. therefore, when you make decision's in life you need to know how to because if you don

    5.) I would like to make a change everywhere because, everywhere you go there's always people who hurt people or there's racial discrimination and that sucks because that can have a massive affect on people life style. I want to change the world and have equal rights, every single person in the whole world has freedom of speech, every race, every gender has the same equal rights they all get the same thing nobody gets more. But the main thing i want to change is racial discrimination because that's a big issue in society and I want to change it.


    6.) You will look anywhere in world because everyone will be treated the same, nobody would be treated differently. You'll see people in every race together in one place without any problems and every gender getting paid the same or treated the same, also there wouldn't be racial discrimination in society.


    7.) This matters to me because, both video and poem told me stuff that inspired me to achieve my goal and work hard for it. Also i can only focus on what i want to do and not worry about people telling me that i can't achieve my goal and when I don't know what to do i can go back to the video and poem . I can apply this to my life because when i'm feeling down or sometimes i can't achieve my goal, I can read the quote and watch the video again so i can get inspired again.'t then that can mess you up in life pretty bad.

    2. Based on my experience to me this means if you don't like your life rebuild it. Every decisions you make, you will live with that decision. You will live in what you build. The quote to me means who are you as a person and what will you do.

    3. The video and quote are similar because they talk about how to build your self better. Also if you want something in life. Go and do what you need to do. They are different because the quote is about who you are. The video tells you how to rebuild your self. Then the things you would like to rebuild. The similarities they share is that they both are inspiring to people. They can help you rebuild your self of steam back.

    4. Who am i as a person, i am someone unique. Different from others is what i like to consider my self as. Do great things in this world. Fix your failures. Be grateful for what you have. Create something big and unique. You will in what you build. live a phenomenal life with your kids. Make your kids lie phenomenal. Every decision you make your building it. Every shortcut and every corner you cut your destroying it.

    5. An area in my life that i would like to make a change in is school. I want to have good grades. I have trouble pay attention in class. But i just have to be better than the person i was yesterday.

    6. The way the area would look like is great if i did change it. Id have to change my habits on the way i do things. But if it changed i would feel so good. Just by seeing those good grades. Making my parents happy is the best thing. They do everything for me and help me when i need help. So me getting good grades and having a good life is all i want. I will e successful and have a family f my own. I have the ability to do anything.

    7. This poem ad video matter to me because I enjoy reading and listening to inspiring thins. I love to get inspired. To do my own thing one day and be successful at what I do. There's no dress code for a gladiator. we wear what's necessary to get the job done. Its about how you grind. We approach the pain and embrace and dominate the pain. If you put average effort you will live an average life. You will get average if you put average in life. Nobody wants to be average. So get up and do what you have to do.

  27. 2. Based upon my experience the quote and the video means that I should be setting a great mindset for my future and whichever mistake I built, I have to live through it. I have to accept my mistakes and stop going for an average mindset, I need to start looking out for myself, family, and my future. Also, I will need to use any talents I have to go on the track of greatness.

    3. The video and the quote are similar by telling us that we should go for a phenomenal life and start accepting our mistakes, and stop blaming what we do on others. If we put for an average effort, we will live in an average life, we should go for a great mindset instead of average. Both are different because the quote says you should know who you are and acknowledge each mistake you make and wish the best for you. The video is different because it tells us that we should start building what we want to live in and not to go for being average, you will switch mindsets. A similarity they share is that they both talk about looking forward to your future and build something great.

    4 The messages in the video and the poem both say that we should live with every mistake we make and to start creating a path to greatness. They both also say that we shouldn't go for something average, and whatever we build, we should live in it. Every decision we make, we have to live with that decision, we should start looking forward to our future and to not blame our failures at anyone. I also think that they are both saying that we need to start pursuing the path to greatness and success, it is important to be looking at great mindsets and to stop living in a world where you will get judged just because of errors we make. We need to start building a phenomenal life.

    5. An area of my life that I would like to make a change in is to start bringing up my grades and to be more social, and to stop making average efforts. I would like to be great and do great on my grades, and make improvements on my social life. My social life is going pretty average, like I barely talk to anyone, that's one thing I'd also definitely make a change in. And my grades in math and English aren't going so well, I would like to start doing my work and paying attention more, I don't want to disappoint my family and don't end up going to university like they expect me to. I would want a great and positive future and stop looking at what effected me in the past. I kind of think that my mistakes and whatever I went through in the past still effects me today.
    These areas in my life need major improvements. I can't let myself down or other people, as well as my family. I also need to practice my communication skills because I'm always nervous to do anything, such as presentations. In the future, I can't be nervous because what if I would need to do a job interview or a college interview, I won't get accepted if I stutter or not be professional at speaking and answering simple questions. And that's what I would like to make changes on in my life.

    1. 6. If I made the changes I need in my life, my life would seem kind of easier and I wouldn't have to worry about these now. If only I hadn't made any mistakes in the past, but I'm human and I accept my mistakes, but some effected me really bad as well. I wish I could reverse time and take back the mistakes I have done to really important people in my life and never have done it. Today, those important people who were in my life, aren't in it anymore. It makes me sad because I really still care and have love for those people.
      I still think about those changes I need to make, and always look forward to my future. I hope I can improve a lot later on in my life and become a greater peson with a positive mindset. I would also like to make a positive impact on people and show them that if you fail, you should never give up and always move forward.

      7. The message in the poem and the video matters to me because it tells me that I should always have a great mindset and create a big change in my life. It also tells me to accept my mistakes and live in whatever I built.
      I can apply this to my life to make it better because I would like to make a change for myself and to look forward, and to achieve my goals. My goals matter to me, I would like to make my family proud and also be proud of myself for the things I have overcame.

  28. 1. Watch video and take notes.

    2. Based odd my experience this means you should do more than expected. Push yourself to do more and put effort in everything. You should always put effort whether it's to accomplish your dreams or do better with school. If you do good enough that will not take you anywhere it will only make you fall behind when you should be ahead of others and want the best for you and your future. You should never tell yourself lies or make excuses for yourself because that will never help you be ahead or even benefit you with your future.

    3. The poem and the video are similar because they both give you advice. They both tell you that you need to do more than expected and doing good will not benefit you. You should believe in yourself and push yourself to do better every time instead of not putting effort and not caring. Learn from your mistakes that will have made you fall behind. Change you actions and change your bad habits that are hurting you and preventing you from being ahead instead of behind. The video and poem differ because the video explains to you doing good enough will not lead you onto the right path which is the path of success. The video also explains to you that being average will give average in return, what you build is what you get. As to where the poem is directing to you and what you know about yourself being great not good.

    4. If you want to accomplish your dreams and be at a higher point than others you will need to do more than whats is expected. When a task is given to accomplish you will put in effort and give it eh best you can. You should never accomplish a task given with no effort just because you wan tit done and over with. If you accomplish a task just to get it done and not acre about if you are being average and you will get average when it comes to your future and to help you with your career. You will leas yourself into the correct path if you put effort and give it your all and stay focus. Stay on track with what you would like to accomplish and do more than just the average. Average will not lead you into the path that you want to be and it will not make you go far with your future.

    5. An area in m life that I would like to change is school. I would like to get higher grades every time instead of low grades, improve my grades. Push myself to do better each time and o more than wants expected. I would aisles like to stop procrastinating because it only makes ma fall being and get a low grade on the assignment.

    1. 6. If I changed the area that I struggle with I would have better grades than what I have right now. I would do better in all my classes instead of not caring and getting low grades. My grades would be higher level and I would be focused with my academic life. take school more seriously than how i do right now and care more about my future. I would also be more interested about getting a career that I would enjoy to do because I would have higher grades.

      I would also be more confident with myself on getting accept to USC because I would have the grades needed in order to get accepted. I would give myself positive feedback instead of giving myself negative feedback and know that I will follow my dream and be able to do the career that I would like, I believe I would see a different perspective to my life that I struggle with were to change.

      7. The message in the video and in the poem matter to me because successful and accomplishing my dreams. I would like to go far in life and have a career that I would enjoy doing. In order to go far with my future and accomplish my dreams I will have to change my bad habits that are making me fall behind. I want he best for my future and take the opportunities that are provided to me because they can befit me with having a better future, The message made me realize I need to push myself to do better every time. Average will not lead into the path that I would like to be. It will only give me average instead of getting something better in return.

      I can apply the principles of this message to make my life better by putting effort in school. Taking school more seriously than how I do right because what I do right know will affect and prevent me from following my dreams. I will also need to do ore than what is expected, doing average will not make me be ahead, Change my bad habits that are making me fall being into habits that will help my future. If i do not change my actions that are not benefiting me I will not achieve my goals. In order to become successful, I need to realize the mistakes that I've made and prevent myself from making them again, learn from my mistakes.

    2. 1.) Watched

      2.) Based upon my experience this means to me that you can't take shortcuts or corners on things because you are destroying everything. Every decision you make you are going t have to live with that decision. You will live on what you built.

      3.) The poem and quote are similar because they talk about you, yourself. They talk about who you are or what you do with your life. They are different because the poem talks about who you are. It talks about if you know who you are, what are you, what would you do, what would you be, hat would you use, and where are you on. The video talks about a decision you make and you are going to have to live with it. Also it talks about how to not take shortcuts and corners because it would destroy you. You are building every decision you make. The similarities they share are about you, who you are and how you are building your life.

      4.) The message of the poem is who you are and what are you going to do with your life. The poem is trying to say that what you think about yourself and what are you looking for or what are you going to try to do for your life. The message of the video is you make a decision and you are going to live with it and if you don't like it then rebuild it. If you don't like what you are stuck with then rebuild it. You can't take any shortcuts or corners because those are going to destroy you. 

      5.) An area in my life that I want to change is the way I take school seriously, or the way I study, or how I act at home versus school. I want to take school more seriously,  I do see it serious but I want it more seriously, and the way I study I want to actually try my best and the work I did paid off. Also at home I act more motivated, happy, hyper, but at school I'm not that really motivated, I'm lazy sometimes, and tired, and I would like to change that.

      6.) How it would look if I changed, I would be like a scholar student, straight A's and I won't be doubtful, also I would be more motivated. I would take school more seriously and that my hard work would pay off. If I even focus more I would have excellent classes for example honors. I won't have to worry about how my parents would act and I would have more privileges. I would try to motivate some of my friends about taking school serious and how they want their life's to be like. If I keep doing that for the whole school years I could possibly get a good job and colleges/universities that's how my life would be like if I change those areas in my life.

      7.) The message from the poem and video matters to me because I can apply those to my life. It matters because it could help you think about you and your life, how you want it to be. It can also give you an idea, picture it. I can apply it to my life and making it better by keeping I mind and putting the messages in my life and that can make it better. Also knowing who I am, picturing how I want my life, and seeing how it would be if I changed.

  30. 1. Cornell Notes
    -Moral-you will live in the reality that you build
    -You are not a victim of your circumstance
    -You are a product of your effort
    -If you do not like it, do something about it
    -If this is the house that you built and you don't like it, tear it down and rebuild

    2. Based on my experience, this means that I need to stop being lazy. I've been really lazy lately and I need to stop and think about what I need to rebuild. I need to know how to change it. We have so many abilities and chances to change and we don't realize that these talents were given for granted. You will lose everything if you don't.

    3. The poem tells us that we are all different in different ways. We all have a dream to pursue success and greatness. As humans, we all notice our mistakes when they are presented to us and criticism makes us want to do better. We also notice our failures as we try to run to win. Once we do win we are grateful for our success, we are overjoyed. Knowing that hard work was worth it, doesn't make it a waste of our time pursuing something else. In the end, we use our given talents to complete the tasks that make up the system of our world. Society tells us that we have to follow a status quo, and we can't be bothered to pursue greatness in another way. For example, the metric system and the US. The imperial system is looked down upon on, but it works to serve a country. Our man-made society has told us that some of our gifts won't help ourselves or others. We can be discouraged and be left in pursuing for average. We need to realize that we can't fall in a path that will hurt us.

    The video tells us that we can't waste our time looking for average. In our daily lives we sometimes don't look at the bigger picture. We think as long we follow the rules exactly, we will succeed. We can think out of the box and make things better. People get lazy and aren't excited about work or school. We have the ability to make paperwork or reports fun. Add some of you in the paragraphs because it doesn't have to be a drag. Unless you build your reality up to okay standards or lower. If you are tired of being lazy, then stop because you have the power to stop it. You will live with what you produce depending on the effort and decisions you put into it. If you keep your bad habits, you will be making a hole for yourself. Now, let’s stop thinking about yourself and your decisions. The decisions you make are going to not only affect you, but the people around you too. You might have children, parents, or relatives who are going to worry or get sick of your habits. They might even be old to the point of dying. Don't you want to graduate while your parents are alive?

  31. 4. An area in life that I would like to change is my time management and my diet. Ever since last June and summer started, I have been eating more than I need. I used to be underweight, but now I'm slowly but surely gain at least 22 pounds in 2 months. I also need to start not being lazy. Procrastination is a habit I am breaking off and I'm working on it. It has really changed who I am and what I want to be. I don’t want to go downhill in my life. I really care about my well-being. I need to realize that if I continue this behavior, it could lead me down a bumpy road and bad path. My parents are supportive of me being healthier and continue to help me. However, I need to learn how to do it myself. It won’t matter if my parents buy chips, I have to stop myself to go near it. It’s all about self-control at this point. I’m also being very much supported in my old lazy ways.

    5. My life would look kind of different if I were to change my ways. I would first off start with the diet since it’s the easiest. I would limit my portions and stop chocolate all together. I would also try to exercise at 6 or 5 in the evening. That way I would take a shower at 7. I would also stop drinking hot chocolate in the morning, unless its freezing cold in the winter. I could also stop eating pizza at school, and if I'm having pizza for dinner I would only eat one slice. Self-control is again a big factor in my process of changing myself.

    When I stop procrastinating my life would look way more organized. I would do my homework right after school. When I get home I would eat and directly clean my room. I would then proceed to do my homework and tidy my desk. Then I would have to clean up the living room and do the dishes. I would then clean the kitchen and help my little brothers. I could also help my grandmother with dinner and my baby brother at the same time. I would then exercise like I planned to lose a bit of weight. After I would take a quick shower as my parents get home from work. I would also have the whole evening night free. It would be less-stressful overall.

    6. The message in the video and poem matter to me because it is what my parent have been saying for a longtime. I see my habits and my failures and I try to change them. I end up failing over and over again as I listen to the same lectures. I hate listening to them tell me the same thing, when I deserve it because I still don't do it. I'm actually trying really hard because I want everything to be finished. As I'm writing this paragraph, I have two other assignments due by 12 tonight. I really need to get everything together and just focus. Everything is going to annoy me at this point, so I have to be organized in order not to be stressed out and get me annoyed.

    This also matters to me because I mainly want self-improvement. Who wants a person who is dis-organized and messy? I really want to change and become a whole new person. I want this to be over so I can focus on things in my life that are more important. But first I need to start by writing it all down. These paragraphs actually made me think about what I need to do to improve myself. I really believe that I can change, and I know my parents do to. I want to do things the correct way and not just my way. Every time I tried my way it has failed. I am planning on a new and organized life.
