My aphorism is hold tight to your roots but be open to the future. This is aphorism really relates to me and what I believe in. It shows the importance of knowing who you are but also being open to new things to come in the future. Holding tight to your roots means remembering where you came from and what standards and ideals are important to you. In my aphorism when I say be open to the future it means being open to new ways of thinking and change later on in your life. My aphorism means remembering who you are but not letting that hold you back in the future. My aphorism is important because it tells you to remember who you are, where you came from, and to remember the ideals and standards that you have. Also, be open to other ideas or things happening in your life in the future. To me my aphorism means holding on to my ideals and standards and knowing where I came from. Even later on in life towards the future I will always remember who I am but be open to new things that are to come. My aphorism shapes and effects my decisions because when I make my decisions I remember who I am and my standards. I also know to be open to new things in life and new ways of thinking. The aphorism I have chosen has helped me to not be so stubborn. It has also helped me to be more open to change. My aphorism can help an individual because anyone can relate to it. Everyone has roots. Most people have a specific set of standards that they try to live by. My aphorism can also help by showing people what they already know but then expounding on that idea in the future. The good that people can find in my aphorism is the fact that it can relate to anybody’s life.

This passage makes me want to think back at times when I thought I was better than someone. Making me want to become a more respectful person towards everyone I meet in the future and accept them for who they
2. The main idea of this quote is that not everything inherently given to you is meant to be acted upon. For example, say a woman has been cheated on by her previous boyfriend. From then on, she is skeptical, and has trust issues with future lovers; Those of which cause her to believe that it’s okay to have all of their social media passwords, and forbid them from being friends with other girls. Sure, she has the right to do so; She has been hurt. But on the other side of the spectrum, her future boyfriends didn’t do anything to deserve that. This quote still proves useful today, because it helps readers see another perspective than theirs, and question their moral standpoint.
What I Think: I really appreciate this quote because of its overall message regarding basic morals of a person. I feel like people who live their life in a way parallel to this quote are the most successful ones, as they are not afraid to suffer in order to achieve their goals.
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.
For me this quote means that you always have to be the best version of yourself, and that in life there will always be sacrificces in order to be succesful.
The quote above touches on the main theme , that you should empathize with all people even if you are very
“We never truly know another person until we walk in their shoes”, a phrase that’s been drilled and squashed into our brains since we began comprehending that there’s more to the world than just ourselves. “Don’t judge people”, we’ve been told, “Live someone’s life before you apply it to your own”. Life lessons are abundant, but why? Well, according to classical literature such as Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird” and John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men”, because they’re true.
don't go around the world saying the world owes you.The world owes you nothing it was here first.This means that people can't go around the world saying that they owe you insted you should say what do i owe you.Mark Twain ideas on human nature onclude how he feels about people and how he says"if you tell the truth, you don't have to remeber anythin"
People have always said," You dont know what you have untill its gone", truth is we knew what we had; just as hummas we forget the vaule and how easy it is to lose it in the snap of a finger. Somtimes as each day goes by we dont realize how much we have to lose, and at any moment anthing can change, and taking somthing grantend could hurt you more in the long run then realzing what you took for grantend and having it become to late to fix it. There are many reasons why i agree with this quote, and to start off i would have to say in this life we tend to forget to cherrish each moment with our friends and family; and to live each day like your last. Anthor reason why i support this quote to the fullest is because we live in world full of decgions, and just by
I, personally, live my life by this quote, so the fact that it is a huge part in the Cottleston Pie Principle makes me agree with the principle more. As a human and a person with emotions and feelings, it is comforting to know that there is a place for everyone in this world and that there are people who practice and follow this belief everyday. The Cottleston Pie Principle also focuses on the importance that everyone should know their own limitations. In today’s world, there is a lot of competition due to the fact that people always think they can do what others can, even if they are not qualified to do it. The Cottleston Pie Principle heavily stresses that all people should know their limitations and those who know their limitations will be live a better life due to the fact that they know what to work on to become better. Too many people in society think they can do it all, which makes no one want to do better and doesn’t allow society to advance. Overall, I enjoyed learning about the Cottleston Pie Principle and now have a new way to look at life and a way I believe all should look at
If everyone were to belong to everyone else, it would apply in a sense of familiarity and community, as the idea of ‘ending is better than mending’ is only applicable or relevant after the idea of forming non-meaningful relationships with those in the community, or as in relation with inanimate objects. However, it is possible that this saying could be used to describe their society, while maintaining significance as an important adage. As Rod Serling states, “‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.’” (372) This means that, a certain standard or idea that is seen by many, doesn’t have to be the definitive way a thing has to be. Anyone can interpret these adages however they like, address them as important or
I think this quote is very important because nobody should insult you without hearing what you have to say. Something else this quote means to me is with gossip because sometimes people can insult you without having to hear what you say. This is important because it can upset a lot of people which is never good. Another thing this quote means to me is don’t judge a book by it's cover because you can’t say the book is bad without reading it. This quote also happens a lot when you're meeting someone by not judging them from what they look like but by their personality. This is especially bad because someone like August in Wonder could look different so people ignored him and were mean to him even though he was super nice and cool.
In today’s society, we see and feel the pressure of conformity daily. It starts at an early age and extends throughout our whole lives, but we need to be warriors and fight against it. Whenever it is visible that a person is giving in to society’s standards, our job as human beings is to be a constant reminder that it is okay to be different. This world’s problems will never be solved if every human being is the same; diversity is needed to get anything accomplished. We need to be different. Many people throughout history such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and John F. Kennedy have inspired us to be different from others and shown that it is amazing to be unique. If we do not follow their wise teachings, their legacies will go to shame. I am positive
This aphorism relates to me because I always have tried to do new activities, sports, and/or clubs. One time in my live I tried to do way to many at once. It was really hard on me and I was stressed out about it. I eventually decided to stop participating in a few of those activities that were harder for me. This was a good decision because I became less stressed and it became more enjoyable for me. I eventually understood that I couldn't do all those activities at once even though I wanted to.
I think that epigram number seven relates a lot to me and even other people who are serious about their future. It states, “Put all your eggs in one basket, and watch the basket.” From my interpretation of the epigram, it’s trying to state that all your dreams, thoughts and desires are placed in your brain, but in order to pay attention to them you have to be cautious. You cannot just place them and let it be all over the place otherwise they will crack and so will you. Life needs a balance of things and you’re the only person that can direct a good direction for yourself. It’s a good reminder for those who struggle sometimes, like me and let’s me balance out my life the way I would like too. Also, if you place those things accordingly in mind,
