This Means You

Shauna Niequist once said “It’s not hard to decide what you want your life to be about. What’s hard, she says is figuring out what you are willing to give up to do the things you care about.” This quote means, make sure you are willing to give up something for what you care about and believe because you will have to give things up. This statement is true because if someone believes in something they be willing to give something up or that person doesn’t really care or believe in it. Both “Untraveled

only one single theme and this is to wake up, to become aware. Wakefulness is the goal and wakefulness is the taste of all their teachings. Osho gives a beautiful example. He says like sea water is salty anywhere and everywhere, similarly all the Buddhas, of all places and times, have the same essence, that of awareness. He says, Adama and Eve were banished from heaven because they tasted from the fruit from tree of knowledge. They had become minds. When you become a mind, you lose consciousness (identification

does it mean to be an adult? Does accountability make a person an adult? Does learning and improving on past experiences make someone an adult? Will caring for one’s self make somebody an adult? These are all small pieces to the puzzle but there is more to an adult then being a self-reliant, hardworking individual that pays their bills on time. In my opinion, you can be sixteen years old and be classified as an adult or twenty eight years old and not be an adult. Being an adult means that you are

don’t always mean the same thing to different people. I believe quotes could mean a thousand different things to a thousand different people. Therefore, what this means is that what a quote means to myself may mean something completely different than what anyone else thinks. Also, if you read a quote at different stages of your life, it could mean something absolutely opposite of what it once meant to you. For example, if you read a quote in your teenage years and then read it again when you were in your

Most people go through life and always hear about the word respect, but they don’t know what it means. Respect is the esteem for or a sense of the worth or excellence of a person. There are things in life you need to hold in respect. Respect for yourself, respect for others, and respect for property. Respect is taught to people everywhere and it is even taught to them in their religions. Respect is the very aspect that keeps everything in your life. Respect for yourself is very important to a person

mentally awake and morally straight. I think this applies to more than just a scout. In this report I will explain what it means and how to be physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. This brings me to my thesis a healthy person is physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. A healthy person is physically strong. In scoutmaster.org it says “Take care of your body so that it will serve you well for an entire lifetime. That means eating nutritious foods, getting enough sleep

Dictionary, the word invoke means: - to mention someone or something in an attempt to make people feel a certain way or have a certain idea in their mind; - to refer to something in support of your ideas; - to make use of. Some of the synonims are bring, cause, create, generate, induce, make or translate.

In the story, Thank you Ma’am, the woman is strict, and mean at the beginning of the story, and as the plot develops toward the end, the woman lets her soft side shine. At the beginning, the woman is walking, and Roger, tries to steal her purse. At that, the woman lashes out with her mean and strict side as shown by kicking and shaking the kid. Afterwards, she invites him to dinner and gives him $10 to buy a pair of blue suede shoes. Thus her soft side. At the beginning of the story the woman is

live a good life, you need to live a life of contemplation and self evaluation. He worded it as developing the soul, which basically means work on yourself and just be able to reflect, and develop your ideas. I believe this is similar to Gilbert because they both understood the importance of self reflection in leading you to happiness. For Gilbert, reflecting on what you’ve experienced and talking to other people will help you determine your own definition of what makes you happy. This is similar to

improves”(Emerson 2). This can mean many different things to many different people. For example, it can mean that all men attempt to base their improvements on society, however, none of them end up improving. What he is trying to say is that you will only improve if you hold yourself to one set of standards, your own. Honestly it is not surprising that he thinks this way because the inclusion of non-conformity was a common practice among transcendentalist writers. In Emerson’s story, he uses this when he
