2. This means every little thing you do leads to the big thing at the end. If you don't like how it turned out, you have to leave the old things and restart. Do something different this time and go for a better outcome.
3. The poem and video have a couple similarities and differences. One similarity is they both have to do with doing great things so you can have a good ending. They say you will be great and put in maximum effort so you can have a nice ending. They are different because the poem is confident you will have a good ending while the video is saying if you don't like the outcome then rebuild. They both want you to have a good outcome. If you don't do what the poem says then you will need to do what the video says and destroy what you've done and re-do it. They are basically the same but one is the process and the other is re-doing the process if you don't like how things turned out.
4. The messages in both the quote and video say that you must do great little things to have a great big thing at the end. You get at the end what you gave at the start. If you gave average effort, the outcome will be average and nobody wants that. If you messed up and did that then you must rebuild it. To enjoy your life make a legacy and build a strong life.
5. I would like to make a change in my academics. I want to do really well in school but I'm just not there yet. I could be doing better with my grades.
6. My life would look a lot better if I made a change and got better grades. First, if I had straight A's my parents would spoil me a lot. I would be looking different with a different attitude because my parents would be really happy with me. I would also be wearing a lot of new things because like I said I would be really spoiled. I would be getting congratulations and my parents friends would see me really good as well.
I have about average grades right now not really bad but they could always be better. Also, it could set my future up with good grades. If I did make a change you would see me studying more and more quiet focusing on school. You would see me doing work most of the time and asking a lot of questions. It would make a huge difference in school and at home.
7. The messages matter because many people don't do more than average and then have a bad outcome and not enjoy their lives. You want to see people do good things with their lives and live happy lives. Even if they already messed up they don't put in a effort to rebuild. They usually stay with the outcome they first get and most of the time its horrible. They need to re-think about some decisions they've made and get their life up there. If not then you can't really say your living a happy life with an average life.
I can apply this to my life to make it better by building a strong house. I will think more about the decisions I make. I want a really good outcome when I get older. I won't put in average effort because I don't want an average life. Even if I do mess up on the way there, I will in maximum effort to rebuild. I want to live a happy life and don't want to mess that up this early. I will put in 120% to have a strong good house.
1.) DONE
ReplyDelete2.) Based upon my understandings, this means that you need to take part in your life and make it better. If you are not satisfied with anything in your life, start over, and make it better. Build things the way you want them to be built.
3.) The poem and video share similarities like both saying they/you are on a track to succeed and you will make better decisions although you have messed up before. They are also similar because they are aware of mistakes they've made and will do better next time. They differ in ways where in the video the understudy was giving up and doing average work. Due to the average work he had been doing he resulted in a surprise where the house ended up being his, and he knew it wasn't his dream house. It showed him that no matter what, he should be working to his max. In the poem it just talks about being successful, and knowing that although you've made mistakes you won't fall off track do continue to become the best.
4.) The message in the video was much stronger to me. It showed that you need to work on stuff as if it were yours. You wouldn't want something being rushed on, or not at it's best, so work as it you're doing it for yourself and make it as if it was out of a dream. If you don't like something about yourself, redo it, and make it the best. The quote was saying how even though you've made mistakes you gotta stay on track and be the best no matter what you've done in the past.
5.) An area in my life that I would like to change is my homework habits, I do my homework more than before but i'm not satisfied with the way I work on it. I feel like I rush my work, and it comes out bad, I know later that I pass it but I still feel like I work too fast. So i'm gonna slow my pace down a bit and pay a bit more attention to my work.
6.) It would look like a dream if I fixed up my homework habits. I would have nearly perfect grades, and would make my family proud. Just fixing that habit would cause a chain of things to happen in my life. I would have a better chance of getting into a university that I want to go to, and also at having a good career. I would also make money by having good grades and I would save that for something useful in life.
I could buy a car, and travel places. I could even buy a plane ticket and explore new places and have good memories in my life, or even pay my college/university tuition.
7.) The messages in the poem and video matter to me because they open your eyes a lot. E.T said " if you don't like something you built, take it down and rebuild it " . If I don't want to take my work down and make it better then I need to work at my max and do everything I could do to make it the best. I'll try to do more than just the best I can do, and won't work carelessly. Also, in the poem it talks about how you should ignore the mistakes you've made in the past and just continue going forward.
Or at least that's what I got from it. I'll stay on track and never fall off, I might go through some tough times but I will never fall and stay down. I'm going to keep going and reach the finish line, wherever that is..

1. Done in class.
2. Based upon my experience this means to me a lot, because so much has happened in my life that makes me want to be different. I know what mistakes to not do. I have an idea of what my future will look like.
3. The poem and video share similarities with how you have to protect your future. The things that you do now will effect you later in life. Construct your house that will be your life wisely. They are different with how the poem says about a persons greatness and the video is about building your life. You can be great and wise. But, also careful with how you're forming your life. they both matter.
4. The video and poem are about being careful with your decisions if you want to to have a good life. Your choices that you made in the past will effect how your life turns out in the end. If you don't like how things are going start over and build it better. It's your life, so you're the only one that will know how to build it. It doesn't just have to be your life.
5. An area in my life that I would like to make a change in is some parts in my personnel family life. My personnel isn't the best. So, there are things I would like to change.
6. The change may make my life way different. My family might actually be happy. But, I couldn't be too sure. Maybe my mom wouldn't have to worry so much over my brother and dad. My brother might be more reasonable. My dad could stop being a drunk.
My other brother might be able to go to college. He might even be able to get a car and learn how to drive. My oldest brother could come visit more often. My dad would stop wasting money. My mom would be able to drive and work.
7. The message in the video and poem matter to me, because I don't want to end up like some people I know. I want to have a better future. Be able to go to school, drive, have an apartment. I want to have a good job, money, and get married. Maybe even have a family.
I can apply the principles to my life to make it better by being cautious in what decisions I make. I can be aware now. I know I can rebuild my life or something in my life that I don't like. I will know what mistakes not to make. I will protect myself and my future.
1. NOTES ON PAPER
ReplyDelete2. What this means to me is that I need to figure out who I am. That I am a special and unique person compared to everyone else. I need to be grateful for my success. What I need to do in life is fun for the win.
3. The video and poem have many similarities. One similarity is that they both talk about building your own life. One difference is that they both don't talk about approaching, embracing, and dominating the pain in every bodies life. They both talk about acknowledging your failures and living with the decisions that we make. A difference is they both don't talk about rebuilding something in your life that you don't like.
4. What the poem is saying is that we must find out who we are. We must find out what are purpose is in life. What the video is trying to say is we must find who we are and make a home around it. We must out who we are and be that for the rest of our lives.
5. What I would like to change in my life is the habits that I have. I need to be responsible with what I have to do at home and at school. I don't want my parents telling me what I have to do all the time. I need to make better habits by doing what I have to get done at school and at home.
6. If I were to change this part of my life to the better, I would be doing all of my chores with out my parents asking me to do so. All of my chores would be done if I changes this part of my life. If I were to change this part of my life, my parents wouldn't be frusterated doing my job. They would be relaxing while I do the work that I must get done to make their lives better. This would not just make my parent's lives easier, it would make my family's life easier.
If I were to change this part of my life at school, I would be getting straight A's. I have good grades such as A's and B's but I need to aim higher. If I changed, I would also have better work habits. If I changed, I would probably be a very successful student.
7. What the video and the poem said matters because if I want to be a successful person in life I must follow what the poem and the video said. If I followed what the poem and video said, it would make my life easier. I can apply this to my life by making decisions that are good for me and that I can live with for the rest of my life. I can also apply this to my life by using my talents and abilities to their greatest. If I followed everything that the poem and video said, I would grow up to be the best person I can be.
2.What this means to me is that you can become someone only if you put in the work for it.You could accomplish it but you just have to put in the work for it.You know what you are doing to yourself and you want to fix it but something is holding you back.I know that I have it in me and want to put 100% into it.I will be great if I just do the work.
ReplyDelete3.They are similar because the poem is stating that you know you could do whatever you want only if you grind.The poem is stating that you will have failures but you will learn from those failures.The video is stating that if you doing bad in your life it is because you built it like that.The video is saying that if you are going the wrong path in your life you have to rebuilt it.You just have to put the time and effort to rebuild your life.They are different because the poem is stating that you could be successful only if you have that mind set.The video is sating that if your life is going the wrong path you could rebuild it only if you put in the time to do it.
4.I know what I could do.I am special and different.I will be the great at what I do.I will learn from my failures.I will be grateful for whatever comes my way.I will use my talents to become the best.I am ready to win the game.If you don't want to live your lifestyle bad living with no house, no car, no family you have to do something about it.You have the chance to rebuild your life.You have the chance to make something out your life.You do anything in the world only if you grind.It will not be easy but this is the life you chose and now you have to fix it.You want to give a great example to others around you.You have all the power to be someone and to be successful.
5.The area I would love to change in my life is the way I think.I would love to choose that because that is what is keeping me from doing what I have to do.The way I think is different I have to fight with myself about if I don't do this something bad will happen.Another thing I will like to change in my life is my attitude. I will like to change my attitude because sometimes when I feel mad and I have things to do I get even more mad about it and end up not doing it.
6.Everything will be so different, everything will change around me.I will get everything I need to get done.I will be a better person in general.My life will be so much calmer if my attitude and the way I think was different.My life will just be so much better and I wouldn't need to be mad or not able to think about anything else but my work.
7.This poem matters to me because this poem is stating that you could do big things in life.It is stating that you have to be grateful of what life gives you and you have to embrace it.I could apply this to male my life better by just to think positive and whatever life gives you you have to be grateful.This is important because you know that you are different than other people which means that you don't have to be like everyone else. You don't want to be on the average level, you want to go beyond average and try to be better than everyone else.

ReplyDelete2) Based upon my experience for me this means to always do my best in everything I do. It also means that if I do not like anything in my life currently, I have the ability to change it and make it better. Finally, this means every decision I’m making right now will affect every decision I make in the future.
3)The similarities between the poem and the video are that they are both telling us to always make the most of ourselves. To accept what’s wrong and change it by making it right. Also, they are similar because they both are saying to reach the success in our lives it all starts from day 1. Every choice you make and every action you do is important. The differences in between the video and the poem are that the video is telling to make the most of ourselves and change our lives for the better. The poem is telling us to accept who we are because we are in the position that we are because of the decisions we make. The similarities they share are that they both are basically telling us to make wise choices and to always give 120% in everything we do.
4) In my opinion, the video and poem are telling us to work hard day and night. They are telling us this because like I’ve said in the last two answers our decisions haunt us. For example, we decide not to listen to our parents and get in trouble with the law. When we get older and want to rent an apartment or buy a house they won’t sell it because of that criminal record. Also When we put our all into everything we do we know we’re getting better and succeeding in the future. By always working hard you’ll make better friends and all kind of different officials will like you. To conclude, the poem and video are telling us to work hard and be smart with our choices.
5) An area of my life that I would like to change is the academic area. I would like to change this area because I feel like I’m not studying enough. By changing it I’ll find more time to study and do my work thoughtfully and not have to copy. If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years is even if you copy and get the grades, you still aren’t getting the full knowledge of the criteria.
6) The way it would look if I changed my life is I would always be grinding. Instead of going home and playing video games I can do my homework or study. Also, I would have to give the equal amount of time as I give to athletics. By doing this I would be getting better grades and stay consistent with my soccer. Finally, I would not get complacent with a B, I would strive and work harder to manage to pull that A out of the bag.
7) This video and poem matter to me because they are telling me to open my eyes and think about my future. They’re telling me with a daily grind in sports and studies I will get far in life. These two things matter because now I see whatever I do for the rest of my teen year will affect my adulthood. They are telling me to make wise decisions and to open my eyes to everything I do because even the smallest mistake can affect the rest of my life. This is why I care about the video and poem.
I can apply this to my life in a couple of different ways. For example, if every decision I make will affect my life I have to start completing all of my homework. Also, I can begin to study and read. These decisions will help me determine if I go to a good college or if I get a minimum wage job. By giving all my effort into everything I do, I can accomplish big things in my life. Another example would be with athletics. If I give my 120% in practice it will show in games. It will also impact scouts for a college scholarship or even potentially a professional contract. These are a couple of ways I can apply the concept to my life.

2. Based upon my experience, I believe that both the poem and the video meant a great deal of matter to me. Every piece and meaning was extremely meaningful because every part of the saying in the poem and video, were things that I could actually relate to at that moment of time. I remember the time where I didn't care for anything that I wanted. All I really wanted, were things that were hard for my parents to get. And because of that, I stressed them out unintentionally. Because, I was young, I was not as bright as I am now. And I'm thankful for that. My parents did anything they could to support me and be there for me through everything possible. And I was too young to even understand how that works. But now, my parents don't have to worry about anything. Because I'm going to build my house, and I'm going to live, in my house.
3. There are rarely any differences in these statements of emotion. Both of them contain practically the exact specific specifications needed to make their point clear to the audience. In view of the fact that some lines in the poem were slightly different to the obtaining main thesis of the poem and video, they shared several designations towards the matter of itemization standards showed and listed in both the poem and the video.
4. I believe the proper summarization for these two entities would possibly be the fact that they both produce the exact same meaning in just multiple ways. They aren't all so obvious to each other. Each and every would highly be the same, exact for approximately about two.
But basically for a majority of the summary, both of these itemized objects' summarization would just be the fact of life, (disregarding the negativities, and unsatisfactory systems arising from below) and actually giving you information and hoping for you to acknowledge the necessities such as being successful.
5. An area in my life that I would highly suggest making a change in is probably my procrastination. For some apparent reason, I tend to procrastinate, a lot. I don't play many many video games, all I honestly do is play sports. Like football, baseball, basketball, soccer, and so on and so fourth.
6. If I were to change that specific thing in my life to a positive thing, a lot of things would have a big impact on my future. I usually tend to put sports ahead of my grades. Not knowing at that time (In the past) that without having a 2.0, you can't get in. And of course just like every other athlete we all want to get scouted. And be successful in life while also having the chance to fall back on sports.
And that is a enormous hot topic because if most people didn't know, most scouts and colleges look at the students grades from ninth grade all the way up until they are seniors. After that, it's either you're still in it, or your not. Unfortunately there's a lot of people who have the opportunity to be one of the most valuable athletes in this nation. But they don't have the grades. Therefore that's another saying by coaches and athletes. Sports are 95% mentality and 5% skill. Always remember, you have to lose one to win one.
7. The message in this video and poem matters to me ultimately because I've been through it. I can relate easily. And there's no other way that that got to me the way it did. E.T. Is a wonderful person and he's set a milestone for me to increase my interest rate to being successful by 100000 percent. Because of him, I have my hopes up high all the time. I'm never looking down. I always look up. Head up, shoulders up. If you can do that, then your set.
I can definitely apply this to my life by just following three easy steps E.T. entered: ~Head high
~Never look down
~Never give up
~Never quit
~Always push for number 1 never less.
1. Done
ReplyDelete2. Based upon my experience, this means that in order to create a legacy I have to go through the steps it takes. In order to win in life I have to know I'm going to fail sometimes. I have to trust in the abilities that I have to build my road for the future. This means I have to run all they way to the finish line and not give up on the way.
3. To compare the video and poem id say they have great similarities and differences. For differences the video talks about giving average effort you'll live an average life. Well, in the poem it mostly talks about your traits and how to use them. While the video says you're a product of your effort the quote talks about leaving a legacy. For similarities, the video and poem are both talking about how to live a great life. They are both putting you on the right track to win.
4. E.T says “every decision you make , you have to live with that decision. To me that means if you make a bad decision ,you have to live with it. This relates to the poem a well. If you’re “on a track to greatness” making a bad decision is like an obstacle. Now are you going to make a better decision and jump over the obstacle? Or are you going to give up because of the bad decision you made in the past? The choice is yours.
5. The area in my life I'd like to make a change in is my family. I wish i was closer to my family. I really only know my mom, brother, and sister.
6. If I actually changed this area in my life wouldn't be right. For example , me and my dad. I'm so busy holding a grudge from him never being there that I won't let him be there. I have mixed emotions on this category. My mom hates my dad so I feel that if I even tried to get close to him , me and my mom's relationship would be messed up.
If I changed it, I'd probably live with my dad. Now he lives in Palmdale, CA. I'd have to go to a whole different school and make different friends. Now that is a big change in my life. Don't even get me started on missing my baby brother. My dad doesn't have any kids in the house. I'm just used to have 1 other kid in the house so it wouldn't feel right. I would like to change it but I don't like it's the best decision.
7. I can apply the poem and video to my live to make it better. In reality I am a product of my effort. If I give 120% I’m going to get better at what i'm doing. If I give little effort I'm not going to get any better. I know I don't want to be average in life. Now I have to give the effort to be extraordinary.
I need to truly know that every decision I make, I have to live with it. If I'm making bad decisions I have to fix them. If I don't fix them I'm going to have to go through obstacles down the road to fix them. Im not running just to run. I'm running because I want to win. If i make good decisions my run won't have any obstacles to jump over.
ReplyDelete2. Based on my experience the poem signifies the path of success and how you are your own path. Even though people have failures, they should acknowledge them and attempt avoiding them as people will be their own success and their own failure. This also mentions self trust as you are the person whom makes up your own destiny.
3.The video and the poem are similar as they describe how people make up their future. The video by Eric Thomas talks about a parable and it describes you build your own house, if you input low effort, you will live a low effort life. Same with the poem as on line 7 it states that I will make my own destiny. This shows that they both talk about you aren't the victim, you make this happen as you make the decisions that affect your future. The poem also talks about acknowledging mistakes and greeting success are all similar to the silence in the house designers silence. the house designer was known as a successful man, the silence as he realizes what the understudy is an acceptance of mistake but he recovers as he gives him the house.One major difference among the 2 is that the video is mainly talked about a parable and that parable only talks about your future while the poem mainly talks about a positive future.
4. The poem and video's main meaning is that you create your own destiny. If you want to input mediocre results you will live in a mediocre life. If you are meaning to have a successful life, you must make successful decisions with successful friends an make right choices. In other words, if you want to go places, you must learn how to walk, there is only one person controlling your destiny, that's you. You can't play the victim card as you made this happen by making the wrong decisions, acknowledge your mistakes. If you do not like your current sate of living do something about it, if you live in failure try running for success.
5.The first one will mainly have to be my academical milestones. I could be doing way more than just AAA and I should study more. Instead of spending 2 hours on video games, I should be studying Dilation for Geometry. I actually want my parents to give me something other than an ugly sweater and a 4.0 will give me that.The second thing I should definitely work is on athletics. I want to make it to the LA marathon but I am not running at my full potential. I will run the LA marathon and this will help that aspect.The final aspect I should work on is communication.
6.If I changed all these aspects of my life I would be a happy person. I would probably smile more when I entered the class room. I would also carry around the marathon medal on March. I would be more open with my parents, 4.4 GPA, who knows, maybe higher, more balanced when it came to my time in studying and video games. I would seem much less stressed. It all depends on values, I am willing to work for that kind of life. I would overall be more motivated and grateful for the new way of living.
Also, I would meet new goals and work hard to achieve new things. It would be great to apply for a scholarship in your freshman year. I would also stay in AAA and assist my friends with a tutoring job. In other words, when I'm done with my expectations, I make new ones. I will also stay more introverted but extroverted at the same time to keep an average state of mind, well more like a unique persona. In the end, I will work until I die, I want to be a gladiator, achieve my goals and make new ones to work on them too.
7.The message and the poem matter to me because I want to change my life. I want to control my destiny and make it positive, it starts with decision and more and more. Honestly the video was made to remember that we build our houses, no one is going to live our lives except for us.The poem was made to remember that we make mistakes, we must acknowledge them, greet success and work for more and make a path for success.If you know you control your destiny, it will be easier to manipulate it.
1. Watched the video and took notes.
ReplyDelete2. Based upon my experience or my understanding this means that you are who you are and who you want to be. You are in charge of the decisions you make and what house or life you are willing to build for yourself . Use what you are as a person to be able to create the life and be able to accomplish those goals you have been setting .
3. The poem and the video are similar and different in many ways ! The ways that they are similar is that they both talk about how the decisions you make in your life and what you end up settling for can affect you future . 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 . The ways that they are different is that the poem "Who I am " talks about knowing who you are and that you have to acknowledge it because that is who you built. The Video "Build your dream house talks about hoe you are not a victim of your circumstance but you are a product of your effort . Another way that they are different is the the poem " Who I am " talks about using your talents and what you have in you in order to create that life that life that life that you always dreamed of. The Video "Who Am I " talk about how that if you don't like the life that you built and setup for yourself then change it because its never to late to change yourself .
4. Its never to late to change yourself and your actions you can start brand new the next day it only matters on the effort that you choose to have. Know who you are and what you are capable to do because its your life and you should always focus on nothing but the greatest for yourself . Your life depends on what you choose to make out of it if you want a crappy and messed up life that's what you are going to get . If you want a successful life full of nothing but pure blessings then get up and work for it ! You will end up loosing everything you have if you keep doing an average job also if you don't step up your game and strive for nothing but success . Everyone will live in the reality that they chose to build.
5. The area in my life that I will like to make a change on is not letting other people stop me from doing what I need to do top succeed . I will not want to let others and just basically the way I have always felt about them from distract me on what really matters . I want to stop remembering the past and just focus more on the future so I can be successful.
6. 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 .
7.The message and the poem matter because they talk about how whatever you choose as a path in life that is what you will live with. I think that if we apply this to our life and acknowledge what we have done we will be successful . I can apply these concepts to my life to make it better by knowing that whatever decisions I choose to make in life will affect me later in life .I will also start accepting my accomplishments because whatever I done is what I chose to do or be .

ReplyDelete7. The video and the quote can impact me because it can help me to strive and give a hundred in school. It can help me because I've been giving average and getting average grades. I need to start getting good grades so I can get into a good collage. And if I keep giving average effort I should know m going to get average grades. And that's nit good cause i was A's and B's. And I want to make my family proud. Another way i can apply this to my life is that I dont want my whole life to be average i want my life to be the greatest life ill get on earth.
Delete2) This is telling us to think about who we are and just be you. This also means that be a better you.
ReplyDelete3) The quote and video are the same because it's both telling us how to be you. They are different because one is talking about how you would live in the reality that you build and the other one is talking about how you should use your talent and your ability. The same similarities that they share is if you don't like what your doing then do something about it.
4) There is no dress code for a gladiator. no matter what you do always get it done. also no matter what you do just go all in. People always trying to find the easy way out but just don't no that there are no shortcuts. don't let no one put you down just keep being average. You should not always over see yourself. Never stop embracing the pain.
5) A area in my life that i would like to make a change on is my actions. another thing that i would like to change is my grades.
6) Some things that i can add on into my life is you have to think about is are you even a gladiator. think about what you want to be and join the movement. You have to understand every step you take. You are not the victim of your circumstances. Fix all the things that you think your doing wrong. Build what you would like . Everything you do all depends on you.
7) The message and the video apply's to me because it really just showed me how you want your future to be. The thing you make your life how you want it to be. as i am typing i'm thinking about how that's really crazy how i always act a fool in class. Most people should know that it's going to add up to you when you try go apply for a job. Now is the time to change and be you. I hate when people tell me that i'm being a follower because that don't look good on me. Not only that i hate when people picture me as my brothers and say she act just like them but no never judge a book by its cover.

2) Based upon my experiences this means that you always have to make wise choices because they are going to stay with you the rest of your life. Your decisions right now can affect your future. Also, always remember to live a phenomenal life.
3) The video "Build Your House" and the poem "Who I Am" are similar because they both talk about how the things right now can affect you later in life. Also, It says how you should protect your future. You will live in the reality that you build. The video and the poem are different because the video says you will lose it all if your an average person. The poem says to stay o track to greatness. They share similarities because they are both showing you how to have a better future.
4) The poem in my own words is saying that you should always be unique. Being unique will take you to greatness. We should always be grateful of what we have. The video in my own words says that you should always be on your grind no matter what. You should always make wise decisions because they will follow you for the rest of your life. We will all live in what we build. Lastly, If you don't like it then do something about it.
5) I would like to change my habits. I would like to change my habits because my habits should not stop me from anything I want to do. I think that if I didn't have the habits I have right now I would be a way better person.
6) If I changed my habits I would be a way better person because I will be a independent and a responsible person. I think I will be an independent person because I wouldn't have to ask people for help. I would be a responsible person because I will turn in all my work in time. I would have better grades and by that would ask the teacher for help whenever I need it I will also ask if I can retake test if I did really bad.
7) The message in the poem matter to me because I know that I should always be unique. It's alright to be different from others. Being unique will take you to being the best. The video matters to me because it tells me how I am going to always live with the decisions I make. Also, I know that if am an average person my life is going to be average.
This can make my life better because now I know that I should always make wise choices because they are going to stay with me for the rest of my life. Also, that if I don't like it I should do something about it. It's alright to be unique from the others because if am unique it can take me to being the best. I should always put effort in whatever I do because this is going to be my life.

2.) Based on my life this means if you want to change them do something about it, no one besides you can change it besides you.When i play football i don't put 120% in when i'm playing i slack off and don't play my 120%.I can play different and when we lose I fill bad because it was probably me because I didn't run hard and play hard.This means to me play my hardest so i fill better about my self and so i don't live in something i didn't build with 120%.
3.) The Video and poem are slimier and talk about the same thing but the poem is shorter then the video.The poem is summarizing the story they are both saying that that what you build you are stuck with.They are saying use your fill ability and all the talent you know and do it 120% because what you do is suck with you for life.The story was talking about how what you do you live in so always do stuff 120% don't cut corners and use the right stuff and not the cheap stuff in life.apply you talent and do stuff the right way for everything even if no one is telling you are instructing you.
4.) The video and the poem is saying do stuff the right way because it is always following you even if you don't realize it is there.Stuff you do put 120% because if you are average you would lose you job,place,and everything around you.Never cut corners because you would wa nttobe average and live an average home.You live in what you build,if you mess up and dont restart cut corners, and leave early and start late you are setting you self up for failer people who are average are going to be like everyone else average but you would want to be better then average. Dont question is this good put 120% in and make sure its good in stead of asking your self you should know its good.
5.) The area i would want to change is my schooling because i want to get better grades and stop been so lazy and not do my work with my fill attention.With my grades i dont have to worry about working hard when im older because if i work hard when im young i dont have to work hard when im old.Doing good in school is one of the biggest things i want to change about my self.
6.) When i change how i act at school in class and i wouldn't have to worry about not having nothing.when i get good grades i get more stuff and right know im failing a few classes so i want to change that by bringing my grades up and doing good in class.This would happen by completing my stuff turning my stuff in and doing my stuff on time.After doing this my grades would be good and i wouldn't have to worry about my grades and getting kicked off the football team.
7.) This matters to me because as of right know im going to change and work on the stuff that i want to do better in.I want to bring my grades up after i seen this video i want to do better and improve on my grades.The video helped my understand not to do stuff the wrong way and but to do good and dont take short cuts in life.Know I want to do better apply what he said to do my life to motivate me to become better and do my stuff and get better grades.I want to do better to become a better football player and not let my grades effect what i want to do,so i have to work on getting my grades up in class.

1.Notes
2.Based on my experience to me this means that if you give an average effort in your life you are going to get average back.You have to give everything you do the best you can.You have to give the best to everything even if you don't want to do it just try to give your best on it.Giving the best on everything could make your life the best that you could ever imagine no matter what always give your best.
3.The similarities that the poem and the video have are that they are trying to give the same message to the people.They both are looking for the same audience.Ways on how they differ is the they use different words. they also give the message in different ways. Also The poem is in words and the video is in a speaking.Another difference that they both have is that the poem is short and the video is longer then the poem.The video inspires you more then the poem because the video is telling you more and it gives you a lot of examples like what would you get if you give average or what could happened if you give the best on everything in your life.
4.In my own words the message of the poem and the video is the you have to give your best effort on everything in your life.that the only way to have a great life is by giving your best effort on everything you do with out excuses.never give excuses on some thing you know you can do.never give up on things that you just start . You are the only one that can make your own life the best life that you could imagine. Don't wait for another person to do it for you because that's never gonna happened. You have to do everything by your self.
5.An area of my life that I would change it would be my shyness because that is avoiding me from making new friends and also it makes it hard for me to adapt to a new environment or area. It also makes me feel insecure of what I want to do or what I want to say. that's a problem that I had all my life and for sure I will like to change it.
6.my life would look like a guy that is not afraid of doing anything. A guy that has a lot of friends in school and outside of school. A guy that is secure of what is he doing. A guy that is not afraid of meeting new people. A guy that is not afraid of speaking in front of people. A guy that is not afraid of anything that life could bring to him.
7.The message on the video and in the poem matters for me because it's telling me that if I don't give my best on life I won't get the life I want.that to get the life I want I have to give the best on everything I do. I don't have to complain on I am doing because I know i can do it. I don't have to give any excuse about anything I have to do.
I can apply this to my life by the way of always giving my best on everything. I won't give my average on what I do. I won't complain about things.i won't give excuses about anything. i will make my life the best I can do.
2. This means to me is don't do short cuts because if you do every short cut you are destroying it .
ReplyDeleteAlso If you don't take short cuts you are building a legacy.
3. They are similar because the poem is talking about creating your legacy and the video is saying is every decision you make your building it. Also i think when the poem was saying about Acknowledge my failures and the video was saying every short cut you make you are destroying it. That's why they are the same.
4. Well is saying don't mess up in life. Also every decision you make you are building it as your legacy. And put in a average in your life. Pursue greatness because I want to be the best next year. I will use my talents because it might help me be the next time of my life and I can be successful.
.
5. Stop doing bad stuff and do the right things and study on grades.And I will be successful.
6. I would be living in a mansion and not taking short cuts. doing stuff the right way. And learn new things practice not doing things bad things . keep out of trouble and have good job.
Try to make a legacy for my self.
7. It would make it better for me because so i won't mess up in school and i would have a great job.
and don't take short cuts in life because you are taring it down.
Plus is your life is going to be in it. every corner you put you're tearing it down.
you will live in a reality that you build. you are not auction of
1.WATCH THE VIDEO
ReplyDelete2. Based upon my experience what I think this means is to just simply believe in yourself. Don't let anything stop you from becoming who you really are. Lastly, be yourself under any circumstances.
3. The video is similar to the poem because it talks about you can improve your life. Also, think about what's wrong in your life and fix it. This is because no one can physically and mentally change your life but you. The poem differs from the video because the video by Eric Thompson he states in more detail that you can improve your life from putting in that 120% effort. In the poem it just simply states that you can become more than you really think. The poem says a lot but not enough to influence an individual's way of thinking. Therefore, I truly believe that there are minor differences and similarities between the two. But from my perspective I believe that the video actual influence me to make my life better for the good
4. Basically what the poem meant is to visually look in the mirror and ask yourself is this the way I want my life to be or look like. Then continue thinking about it and find ways or reasons on how this is happening. I also believe that the poem is telling the audience to really think about how we want our life to be like in the future. It is also stated that once you become the person you dream you would be appreciate what you have and never forget about those who sacrificed and care for you throughout your journey to success. In the video Eric Thompson talked about how you want your life to be like. He stated to "Build Your Own home". This demonstrates that you can build out and plan your life ahead of time. For example, if you don't study for a test and you expected to get a C but got an F on the test. This shows that if he would of studied then he would of got a better grade.Therefore, your effort determines how your life turns out.
5. An area in my life that I would like to change is appreciating the little things in life. For example,if last week my parents took us out to Chili's and I didn't want to go there because I prefer Olive Garden or when they bought me a phone I didn't like. Another part of my life I would like to change is my attitude towards my parents.
ReplyDelete6.a If I actually changed this part of my life it would impact my life in many positive ways. For example if I treated my dad with the respect he deserves I would of got better gifts for my birthday and Christmas. I would also have a stronger trust connection because at this moment anything that goes wrong with the house or my sister or just really anything in general I would be the first to blame. So if I have a better attitude towards my parents I would be in a happier stage of my life. I would also get the things I like if I behaved. This is what I think would happen if this part of my life changed.
6.b If I appreciated the little things in life I believe I would feel like I have what I need right here. For example, if I realized the reason why my parents didn't buy me the phone I wanted then I wouldn't be so upset. They bought me a phone of their choice because they were saving up to buy a better house for us to live in and live happier. But I realize now that it shouldn't matter whether you have something or not because there are children in this world that don't even have a roof to live under. I truly feel bad because I was complaining over a phone when there are children who are struggle to even get some food to live for the next day. This is what I think would happen if i changed this part of my life.
7.a The video and poem matters to me because nowadays in our society people are doing the bare minimum and wonder why the life is a mess. Individuals especially adolescents need to understand that the amount of effort you put on to school and life is what you are going to get back in return. So it's extremely vital that we as individuals put in that 120% effort to better prepare ourselves for what's to come. Also, to believe that anything is possible. This is why I think the message of the video and poem matters to me.
7.b The poem and video also matters to me because I wouldn't always put all my effort towards really anything. I never thought that i was capable of becoming something much more than what I am now. Until Mr.Nunley came into my life, He taught me that the amount of effort you put in your assignments is what you going to receive as a grade. He also taught me that failure isn't an option and that just because you were put in the worst situation doesn't give you a reason to quit. Strive for greatness, keep dreaming and let that dream become reality.
1.Watched in class
ReplyDelete2.Based on my experience so far,this means that you are walking on the path based on what you create throughout your daily life.You may know who you are but you may want a different path than the one you have created.For example,you may have the skills to have the path you want but at the end you make a different decision that can change your whole path to a worst position.
3.The video and the poem can have both differences and similarities.They are both similar because they both make up the part about knowing yourself and the path you want to take in life.They are also similar because they both describe how your ways of accomplishing something can lead to a better level.For example,the video states that if you give average effort then you'll get an average life meaning that the result depends on your actions,meanwhile the poem says "I will pursue greatness...I will use my talents and abilities to create a great legacy.(3,5-6) However,a difference they both have is that the video is mainly referring to you impacting your path and the poem just refers to someone being described on their way to success.The video emphasizes your future as being a house that you would like to have.They are also different because the video is related to a story that was told by Les Brown while having the poem being told by a person who was describing him/herself.
4.The main message of these two sources is based on how you can make a difference in order to impact your lifestyle.The video uses the image of the house you would like to have and comparing it to your actions that you have taken.Like it said in the video,"With every decision you make,you'll live in it."In the poem,it mentions how someone will take the steps to the path of their success.However,it also sets the message to keep your effort going and get to success.
5.In order to accomplish a better future, I need to make changes in some of the areas that are part of my life.I would like to make a change on how I see myself gain success.I would have to change the way I make decisions about opportunities that will help me gain success later on in my future.
ReplyDelete6.Making the wanted change can impact my life in many ways.The change will help me gain much more success based on opportunities and decisions I will have to make .It can impact my life by helping me see a clear vision on how I want my future built.I can either make "good or great" decisions that will help me advance.Some of the opportunities would have to be lost in order to get more that will increase my chances of advancing big time.Increasing my choice of opportunities can help me prepare more for other big milestones in my future.
In order to accomplish the change, I need to make a few small corrections within my skills.First off, I need to make my way of seeing things a bit more strong.For example,I would need think more deep about the decisions that I need to make on how will it impact my path to success.I will also need to improve my critical thinking skills that help me make the right choice.I would need to practice by either asking my teacher or trying self-studying questions that will cause my way of thinking to grow.After all the effort being made and not giving up, the change will be accomplished over time.
7.The message from the video and poem both matter to me for many different reasons.One of the reasons the message matters to me is because I could imagine myself doing something that will lead to success but at the end I give up and don't finish what I start.However,so far I have gotten myself much more organized and I finish most of the stuff.Another reason that it matters is because I can make decisions that will help me later on with my success and won't make me fall behind.All the decisions i have already made, are now the foundation to my house.
This message shared between the two sources can be applied to my daily life in many sorts of ways.One way I can apply the message is thinking more when it comes to making a decision that could impact my future.Another way is by thinking twice before I choose the correct path which will get me to success.Lastly, I could move on and change something that I don't like from what I have already built.After all the message is really straightforward and it can help me make my life better.

ReplyDeleteWatched video
ReplyDeleteBased on my experience, this means that I should stop living and acting average. I put in an average effort in most of my work, after watching the video I realized that it will come back and bite me because it will be the house I end up living in. I am going to stop being average because you will lose everything if you keep being average.
The poem and video are similar because they both talk about how your life should be if you stop being average. They differ because the poem tells you how your attitude should be towards yourself. The video tells you what will happen if you don’t have the mindset of a gladiator. The video also tells you to understand your decisions you make because it might put you in a house you don’t want to live in.
The “ Who I Am” poem is about how you should be. It says that you should pursue greatness and that you will acknowledge your failures. After you fix those failures, there is nothing else to stop you so then you will be successful. So then you should be grateful for your success, and use your talents and abilities to create a legacy. After all that you are on a path to win in life. The video is about how you should stop being average and be the best you can be. You are a product of your effort. If you don’t like something in your life, fix it. You will live in what you build. If the pain is stopping you, then approach the pain like a gladiator. Embrace the pain, and dominate the pain.
In my life I want to change the fact that I am average. I also want to change the fact that I procrastinate.
If I actually changed these areas in my life, my school life would be much better. I would have more time to sleep because I usually end doing my homework late in the night. My work in every class would improve because I will stop being average. My grades in some classes would be better because I won’t procrastinate on studying and doing my homework. I would be able to go out with my friends more because the work I had to do would have been done. I would make my family proud with my grades, and I would get better test scores. I won’t be lazy or get distracted by unnecessary things that just waste my time.
The message in the video and poem matter to me because they taught and showed me how to have the right mindset. The video showed me how my life will be in the future if I keep acting average. It also taught me that you are a product of your effort and if you don’t like something in your life, fix it. Your house won’t be like the way you want if you stay average, even though you knew you could have done better. Lastly, this video has taught me that if I don’t like the house I live in, all I have to do is destroy it, and grind to rebuild a new one.
I can apply these principles to my life to make it better by having the right mindset to get through the problems that are stopping me. Every time I need to do an assignment, I will do it as soon as possible and not procrastinate. All my work from now on I will be putting effort in it to show what I can really do. I will think before I make decisions because they will build up and make the house I end up living in. Instead of complaining, I will approach my problems in life and actually fix them to make the rest of my life, the best of my life.

ReplyDelete1. WATCHED VIDEO AND TOOK NOTES.
2. Based upon my experience this tells me that giving your 90 percent is not enough. In the real world you will not be satisfied with an average life. You have to go for the ultimate goal. All those early mornings waking up to succeed pay off sooner than later.
3. The quote and the video are the same because of the message they are trying to send you. They are trying to tell you that the choices you make in life reflect the current position you are in. If you are doing good in school or have a well paying job then that shows you were doing good. On the other hand if you have f's and are in a minimum wage job then that can tell me that you are not building for an amazing future not even for an average future. My grades reflect an average life which in reality is not what I am going for. I want to have the best life a person can have. The thing is I do not want it given to me, I want to earn it. I want to see the outcome of my hard work so I can enjoy it more.
4. I believe both quote and video have the same message, the effort you put in something shows in your work. People can notice if you put in 50% of effort. Just like they can see if you put 100% or even 120%. The video showed the man not putting all the effort into making the house and when he found out it was his house he was not proud of it.
5. I would love to change my addiction to procrastinate for every little thing. I could have been doing this after practice but I am doing it right now because I decide to. I believe this is of my worst habit and I do not like it.
6.I think if changed me and procrastinating then maybe my grades would be better. I think I wait until he last minute and My effort is not full put into it. This is why I would like to change this. I also believe that changing this would make me more of a responsible person. I am still working on this problem but I think it will be a long time. Changing this will also each me the lesson of doing work first and enjoying the rest. I always play around first and then start working later.
7.This poem matters to me because I can use this to remind me to give my 120% into everything I start. I can not just give up halfway. So until I really struggle with something and feel I should give up I can go back to this quote. I think this quote can change the lives f some people simply by making them more dedicated.
ReplyDelete2. Based upon my experiences, this is about making decisions that can affect your life. This means that everyone should put in effort and act. If you don't act or make bad decisions your life will be the total of all those decisions.
3. The video and the poem have their similarities and differences. The video and poem both share the topic of making a better life for yourself. They both talk about knowing who you are and putting in effort to make yourself great. The video talks more about the negative effects of your decisions while the poem is mainly a motivational message. They both do pertain to motivate you to make decisions that will positively affect your life. They both are spoken differently, while the poem is only a message the video shares a story to relate to the message. They are both very important to remember when you’re feeling unmotivated.
4. The poem and the video are about making your life better. The video uses a house as a metaphor for life, when they talk about building a better house it represents building a better life for yourself. They explain that up to this point you have built a life for yourself and whether you like it or not, you built it so now you have to live in it. The video explains that if you do not like your life, like a house, you can always rebuild it even though it will take a lot of effort. The poem on the other hand, explains that you should pursue greatness and use your skills to build a better life for yourself.
5. There are many areas in my life that i believe need some changing and i would like to do so. One of the most important areas i would like to make a change in is in school. I would like to change my work ethics and procrastinate less to get better grades.
6. The area in my life i previously stated i would like to change would be school and my school work. If I changed this it would immensely affect my life and the way i do in school. By school being the subject that I wanna change I mean my studying skills and doing my work. I usually have a hard time focusing in class therefore I never get my work done or understand the lesson we are working on. Another thing that is in the area of school that I need to change is doing my homework and studying which ,because of my short attention span, never get done. These things are just some of the things in my school area of life that need some serious improvement.
If I actually went through and changed this area in my life there would be a significant change in my life. First off, if I started to actually pay attention during class I might be able to actually get my homework done. It would also be helpful if I began studying I would be able to actually get decent grades on the test and maybe excellent scores. Getting decent test scores would mean that I understand the concept and therefore my grades in the class would start go up. This would help my life because if i got better grades i could get into a good college and actually have a future for myself
7. The poem and video are both very important because their principles can be applied to everyday life. The video shares that you should always approach, embrace, and dominate pain. The video also shares that every decisions that you make can alter your life in a negative or positive way because it is how you build your life. You cannot play the victim of your circumstances because you are the product of your effort. If you do not like something you must do something to change it or it will stay the same.
They both share important topics about how to make your life a good one. You must not put in average effort or you will have to live an average life. You have to be confident in the things that you do. Unfortunately, lack of self-confidence is a big reason why people don't act or try to change their lives. Overall they both are important to apply to your life and take notes on.

1) DONE
2) Being a young minority I am told everyday that the decisions I make right now will live with me forever. I have learned that if I don't make the right decisions I will be affecting my future and the opportunities that lie ahead for me. If I don't put effort into my work and continue to make average decisions, I will not be successful because I will continue to make the same decisions that aren't benefiting my life.
3) In the video, Eric told us that we determine our future by the decisions we make right now. If we put in average effort, we will live an average life. I will need to make decisions that will benefit my life and will help me build better habits to live a better life. In the quote it told us that we will need to use our talents and all of our abilities in order to have greatness.
4) By reading the quote, I understood that the writer was telling me that I, as a person, need to know that I am talented, unique, and smart in order to help motivate me to have greatness. In the video, Eric told us that we are building the reality that we will live in forever. The decisions we make right now will either benefit our future that is filled with opportunities or will destroy our future that is filled with failure.
5) My study habits would be the area I would like to have a change in. I would like to change the bad habits I have that are affecting me from getting outstanding grades. Today I tend to procrastinate about studying, instead of studying I lean towards watching tv and sleeping, which isn't benefiting my life. Instead of procrastinating I would like to be able to study and get better grades on my test.
6) If I was able to change my study habits , I would be able to score higher on tests and would be able to get outstanding grades. I would be able to be less stressed about rushing to study because I would have already build better habits that motivate me to study everyday until I am able to remember the material. If I were able to change my bad study habits, it would make me very proud of myself because I was able to overcome a burden in life in order to live a new, great life.
Currently, I am getting good grades, but I know that I can do better. To help me change my bad study habits I would train myself to complete all of my homework and study all of the material before any distractions. As everyone tells me, school is before anything. If I didn't have any distractions before or while I am doing homework or studying, I would be able to get the grades I know I can get. I will also stop procrastinating between studying and watching tv, because if I study I am expanding my knowledge about math or English but by watching tv I am expanding my knowledge of what Kylie Jenner is up to or what the new trend on social media is. Distractions and procrastinations will not benefit my life, studying and doing homework will.
7) Knowing that decisions I make now will forever be with me helps motivate me make better decisions in life. I now know that if I don't put effort into my work and don't give it my all, I will be living an average life and will not be successful in life. If you have bad habits and don't try to change them for the better, you are destroying your future because you will continue to use those bad habits.
I will be able to apply the concepts learned in the video and poem by changing the ways in life that aren't benefiting it. By rebuilding my life for the better will help me have a brighter future that is filled with success and opportunities.If I start to make the right decisions, I will be able to train myself in using those habits and will be benefiting my life for the better . Every time you change for the better you are building your house but every time you try to cheat your way in life you are just destroying your house. Changing is better than staying the same average person you still are today.

1. Done
2. To me this can mean many things. One example that he brings up is that your life is depicted by the amount of effort you apply into it. The less you apply effort, your life will be average. The more you apply effort, your life will be more than average. It will be great.
3. A comparison that the poem and video share are being great. Instead of being just good or average, you can be great. Something else that they have in common is uniqueness in a persons life. Everyone is unique and perform actions differently. On the other hand, these two can have some differences. Eric Thompson makes a reference to a house. That house is built by you and it represents your life. If you slack on building that house or do an average job, the more average your life will be. Although if you apply more effort into building that house, you will live a phenomenal life that you want.
4. Always go for great, not just good. Go after your goals. Exceed your limits and go beyond your expectations. Your life can be described as one thing which is a house. The more you apply effort into constructing it, the more you will live a life of your desires. However, if you do an average job or don't apply enough effort, then your life won't be as great.
5. An area/subject of my life that I would want to change is my laziness. I feel that I don't try hard enough. I also have the feeling that I am a lazy person who procrastinates a lot. That is why I would want to make a change in that area of my life.
6. One thing that would change a lot would be my personality. If I weren't lazy I would probably be more productive and do more things. I believe that being lazy affects me daily. I can't go through any day without being lazy. However if I were to change this I would be able to do much more. I would have more experience in doing things. I would've also applied to many extra programs that can help me out later on.
Something else that would change is my attitude. I believe that my attitude would change tremendously. If I never procrastinated or was lazy, I feel that I could've done a lot more in life. I could've done many things that I would want to. However something that restrained me from doing all of that was my laziness and habit of procrastinating. So I believe something that would also change would be my attitude.
7. 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.
I can also apply the video and poem to my life to make it better. If I apply more effort into life, I believe that I will get the most out of life. I can't just not try in life and expect a lot in return. That's not how the world works. You must either work really hard to get the best outcome. Or you will end up with a result that you won't want to be with. Something else that is really important that came from the video was that the decisions you make now are going to be stuck with you forever.

2. Based upon my experience, to me this means that everything we do we need to put in effort and give 120% of us. If you do something wrong, tear it down and rebuild it. We are all capable of being successful but we need to embrace and dominate the pain. We need to get rid of our fear and go for greatness.
3. The poem and video are the similar because they both mention how we are great but we need to show it in everything we do. They are also similar because they both talk about how we can be a winner if we make decisions that will lead us to success. We are a product of our effort that will take us wherever we want in life. The poem and video also differ in some ways. They differ because the video is telling us we are going to be what we build. However the poem is telling us that we all are knowledgeable and that we will create a pathway that will take us to greatness. And finally, both are similar because both can inspire people to create a pathway to greatness.
4. Basically, the messages of the poem and video are trying to inspire people who don't know what to do with their life or people who want to give up and stop trying. Also, the poem is trying to make us believe more in ourselves. And they messages in the video are telling us what we need to do to live in the house be build. Every decision we make, we have to live with it. So we have to put in 120% of effort so we don't have to rebuild our life again.
5. An area of my life I would like to make a change is in my study habits. Sometimes I study while and im using my phone. I would like to change this habit because it will affect me from getting good grades.. I would like to change that so I can study in a place with no noise or study wthout being distracted. This is something I would like to change in my life.
6. My life would look like a good life because if I changed this habit I would have better grades and I would score higher on my test scores. I would be able to study for enough time without being distracted. Also, I wouldn't be worried by studying in the morning for the test because I already spend 3 hours studying the day before. This would make me very happy because I will be proud of myself by doing the correct thing that will help me succeed in life.
7. The message in the video and peom matter to me in many ways. They matter because they both explain how we are all great people and can be successful but we need to put effort. The decisions we make in life are the steps we are building our house in. this matters because it will keep me motivated to to make great decisions and give the best of me. This is why this video and peom matter to me.
I can apply these principles to my life to make it better. I will think more carefully about the decisions I make. Also, I will build a strong house with all my effort putting 120% in it. If I mess up I will get back up and try agian. This will make me be a better person and a person with a knowledable mindset.

ReplyDelete2.) Based on my life this means if you want to change them do something about it, no one besides you can change it besides you.When i play football i don't put 120% in when i'm playing i slack off and don't play my 120%.I can play different and when we lose I fill bad because it was probably me because I didn't run hard and play hard.This means to me play my hardest so i fill better about my self and so i don't live in something i didn't build with 120%.
ReplyDelete3.) The Video and poem are slimier and talk about the same thing but the poem is shorter then the video.The poem is summarizing the story they are both saying that that what you build you are stuck with.They are saying use your fill ability and all the talent you know and do it 120% because what you do is suck with you for life.The story was talking about how what you do you live in so always do stuff 120% don't cut corners and use the right stuff and not the cheap stuff in life.apply you talent and do stuff the right way for everything even if no one is telling you are instructing you.
4.) The video and the poem is saying do stuff the right way because it is always following you even if you don't realize it is there.Stuff you do put 120% because if you are average you would lose you job,place,and everything around you.Never cut corners because you would wa nttobe average and live an average home.You live in what you build,if you mess up and dont restart cut corners, and leave early and start late you are setting you self up for failer people who are average are going to be like everyone else average but you would want to be better then average. Dont question is this good put 120% in and make sure its good in stead of asking your self you should know its good.
5.) The area i would want to change is my schooling because i want to get better grades and stop been so lazy and not do my work with my fill attention.With my grades i dont have to worry about working hard when im older because if i work hard when im young i dont have to work hard when im old.Doing good in school is one of the biggest things i want to change about my self.
6.) When i change how i act at school in class and i wouldn't have to worry about not having nothing.when i get good grades i get more stuff and right know im failing a few classes so i want to change that by bringing my grades up and doing good in class.This would happen by completing my stuff turning my stuff in and doing my stuff on time.After doing this my grades would be good and i wouldn't have to worry about my grades and getting kicked off the football team.
7.) This matters to me because as of right know im going to change and work on the stuff that i want to do better in.I want to bring my grades up after i seen this video i want to do better and improve on my grades.The video helped my understand not to do stuff the wrong way and but to do good and dont take short cuts in life.Know I want to do better apply what he said to do my life to motivate me to become better and do my stuff and get better grades.I want to do better to become a better football player and not let my grades effect what i want to do
