The poem above is very motivating in many ways. It gives a positive approach to what you can do in your everyday life. It helps to let you know that you are worth it, and you should share everything that can brighten someone else's life. My favorite quote was "Eat something worth tasting." It just sound so good and satisfying.
I think this poem is trying say be who you are and cherish every moment and every day with everyone you value and anyone you meet in life. I also think that its trying to tell us to do things that we want to be remembered by when we leave this earth. Live life as if today was your last day. I wish everyone a nice and blessed beautiful hot day. Be safe and enjoy writing your last two papers for this class. It was good knowing all of you and don't be strangers in the hall and around. Hit me up on Facebook and Instagram @monster_94.
I think the person in this poem is trying to inspire people to make a difference in the world. I forgot which class I had a discussion about this in, but we talked about why people live. When we die, what will we be remembered by? I interpret it as, if you want to be remembered, do something out of the ordinary, something out of your comfort zone. By then it will be easier to make a difference. It is also important to set goals and achieve them. Doesn't matter how long it takes you, it matters if you get it done. I look at is also as, what do I want my family, my future children and grandchildren and everyone else close to me, to remember me by. Hope everyone's having a fantastic day. Goodluck on writing the last two papers and see you all on Wednesday!
This poem is about really living life and not just going with it. When we do or say something, we should with passion and meaning. Life is too short to let it go by. Risk can bring remorseful rewards, but it shouldn't be.
I try to live by this but we sometimes get broadsided trying to deny destiny. Doors will slam and many other will open; it is the discarding all negativity that helps us see them clearly.
Yes, risk doesn't always mean a bad reward. Sometimes it will be a fruitful reward whether physical or spiritual. Staying positive and brushing negativity off is always the way.
The author of this poem is trying to tell us to live a little and be who you are. Do not be afraid to be who you are. Life is to short to be wasting time on things that are not worth it instead spend it with things or people who are worth it.
We did not have class today but i did get a lot of things done. Hopefully, i will not procrastinate with my two essays and get it done on time.
I think this poem is about setting goals and making it worth it. What I think this person is trying to say is that you should make every moment count. For example, you should do things for a reason. You shouldn't do things that other people think is right. You should do things that are right to you. Everything you do should have a meaning.
Good luck to everyone with the last remaining essays!
The poem above is inspiring to me. It tells that every time we do something it has a meaning behind it. Nothing is a waste without trying your best. We all need to thing positive every day even if you are having a bad day. Being positive is a key in life.
The poem is very touching and have principles i hope to live by. Why do something that will not affect others or have meaning. I hope that everything I do in life serves a purpose. This poem inspires people do things they think they can't. Also to live life to the fullest extent. I plan to remember this poem for as long as I can.
In my opinion the poem is trying to say that everything you do should be something memorable. Something worthy to remember in the future. Also writing an interesting paper would make it something worth sharing.
Today's activity for me was great. I used my time working on my essay and I hope I don't procrastinate.
It seems like a to do list for me but I am pretty sure we all have done this without knowing. Doing it out of the goodness of your heart is admirable and also another way to stay positive.
I totally agree. Doing something from the heart is always a good feeling. It reveals your true self to others and hopefully the world learns from this.
Life is short. We have to live every moment without holding anything back. We need to maximize our time by doing the things we love and spending time with the people that we love. We can also live by putting ourselves in situations where we can make a difference.
Today's activity was awesome. I worked on my essay here at home where the environment is quiet and comfortable.
To me this poem is telling people to experience all they can. If you find something interesting, you should pursue your interests. It also reminds me that life is full of a lot of different stories tell and experience, but also that there are characters to meet. So it basically tells people to cherish every moment in life and to explore yourself.
Today was just a day dedicated to work. All morning til night I had to work on school work. It was a good experience since I worked at home which is my comfort place.
This poem is trying to say that life is short. Do what you want to do. Do what makes you happy. You should set goals and achieve them. Be ambitious and passionate about them.
The poem is a reminder of doing everything with precaution. Life is short and we should not always do things we would regret later in the future. People would not complain so much about the unfortunate events that come up.
This poem reminds me that life is short. This poem remind me of a picture i saw that had a quote saying that life is too short and we should not take it so seriously because it is not like we are going to make it out alive. We should really try and experience everything that life has to offer us.
When you do something, do it whole heartedly and make it meaningful.
