Professor and Class, I believe what Clint Eastwood meant by the quote is that you can never get anywhere in life because no one can see you getting anywhere. And no one can see you getting there because they do not respect you. And this is all because people will not respect someone who does not respect himself. From bosses to you freinds everyone is looking for someone who is self-respecting. Even if you fail do t give up, respect you tried and learn. But always keep moving forward and respect that you are learning and growing I think I can apply this by starting to show myself more respect when I try. When I fail I beat myself up about it. I can respect that I am trying and learning and when I can do that I can start showing people I am
“There is no better than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time” (Malcom X). This is a quote that teaches a lesson about pushing harder towards the goal trying to be accomplished. Parents are constantly teaching their children lessons, so their children will be respectful, for when they grow up.
This, I, believe is what makes a successful human being. Applying the lessons that this book has to offer enabled me
Fierson, a school teacher, learned a valuable life lessons from her elementary math teacher, "Not being the best but touching the limits of what you're capable of". She also points out doing less than one's capability, then the person is wasting resources that had been given. What matters to her is not becoming the best, but trying to the fullest.
The quote teaches a valuable lesson too. The lesson it teaches later in life or sooner is that if you just wait, soon it will later happen, you must be patient and later something unremarkable and so valuable you would do outstanding, and once you do that it will or should remain a memory or it should.
Another personal value that I live by till this day that you taught is “it’s not about what you do, it’s how you do it”. Another concept that went over my head when I was younger. I think this concept can mean many different things depending on your perspective. The way I look at is I should always give everything I do my full effort and do it to the best of my ability. I think it saves you time from have to redo things multiply times. It’s basically like quality over quantity, the way I see it. For example, me going to school. If I just go to school just to say I’m going and not do my work to my full potential I would have different results than I have now. Instead of it taking me two years to finish my Associates degree it probably would
Clint Eastwood was born on May 31, 1930, in San Francisco, California, as Clinton Eastwood Jr. to Clinton Sr. and Ruth Eastwood, with an older sister named Jean. After looking for work in California during the Depression, the family settled in Oakland, where he graduated from Oakland Technical High School in 1948. Clint worked odd jobs, including as a hay baler, logger, truck driver and steel-furnace stoker. In 1950, he joined the military with the Army Special Services, based at Fort Ord in Monterey, California. While in the Army, he met two actors, David Janssen and Martin Milner, who convinced him to move out to Los Angeles after his military duty. Clint took a screen test and signed a contract with Universal Studios for seventy-five dollars a week. The first roles he ever had were in the films Revenge of the Creature and Tarantula. His first hit was starring on the television western Rawhide in 1959. After Rawhide he then became very popular in a string of the director Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns and the Dirty Harry Franchise.The spaghetti film were, A Fistful Of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good the Bad and the Ugly between 1964 and 1966.
For more than fifty years, Clint Eastwood has been actively defining and redefining cinema as an art form. His experiences as an actor on television and in film have greatly influenced his directing style. Across his films, Eastwood incorporates several issues and techniques that help the audience to identify said films with Eastwood's directorial style. Eastwood's aim in his films is to tell stories of the human experience. Francois Truffaut and Andrew Sarris have aimed to define the qualities that make a director an auteur whose works stand out above the rest. The qualities defined by Truffaut and Sarris can be seen in Eastwood films including Unforgiven (1992), Million Dollar Baby (2004), and Changeling (2008) and help to establish Eastwood as an auteur.
For instance: If you’re doing a stunt and just one person hesitates or does the wrong thing the whole stunt could come crashing down; kind of like life, but I learned you can’t avoid them no matter what you do; you just have to learn to go with it and be prepared to catch
I can relate to the above quote. During my first years of high school, I did not take my academics as seriously as I should have. I did not set goals so that I would not disappoint myself. I have learned my little decisions I made impacted my grade point average and class ranking. Also I realized I needed to make some academic changes.
Based on the this principle, since communication gives us the freedom to whatever we wanted to say and feel, I feel like the greatest thing I learned during this course project, is being true to myself. Based on my behavior before, I was afraid to let all my ideas, my thoughts and my answers out because of the fear of being judge. The first step to change is to say “no” to plans, activities and favors that I really don’t want to do. It was a brave step to do but I am sticking to this plan and still learning until now.
For instance, Darrell used the key, Failure Leads to success when he joined the wrestling team. At first he could not keep up with the team, but he didn’t give up, kept trying and eventually, could keep up with the rest of the team. He could climb the rope all the way to the top, he could run for twenty minutes without getting a cramp, and he could almost beat Craig and Luis in a mini match. Another example of how Darrell used
It taught me that in life , we are given hard situations and when it feels like there is no way out it is important to stop, think and face it one step at a time. Ive applied this life lesson to every situation i have faced since.
My dad has taught me different lessons that show how to be a great person. Being a great person is not something that can happen easily. One of the first steps is accepting that a person should not do great things for the rewards that they will later receive but instead do great things just because. By doing great things with the intention of receiving a reward that person is being selfish. Being unselfish is another lesson that my dad would often teach me, because a great person should never be selfish.
What we can learn: Every man needs to have their own standard to live up to. It's when we understand our own standards that we can never accept anything less always pushing forward that the moment a man meets his own standard is the moment a man must then go beyond it. To always concentrate on improving ourselves to live life to our best and to our
