the truth about life is that, you have to earn things. you never get things for free. if you are lazy, you miss out on the things you could have had before, had you listened better. and also if you succeed faster if you listen, faster and learn more tips on how to do things faster & easier. if you like something, go for it! dont let anyone hold youre belief from succeeding.

It is not easy to put what truth is into words. To me, truth is the expression of reality. It is the facts, the specifics. The truth cannot be redefined or questioned. The truth about life is so difficult to understand and no one knows exactly what the truth about life really is. My thoughts on what the truth about life may be is everyone is here for a reason. We all have a specific and very important role in life. We all affect each other in one way or another and there is always a reason for everything.
Truth is really hard to explain in my own words. But i think that truth is honesty, and reality. To me, truth is always being honest and always telling the truth basically. Its also about reality, and things that happen in life. The truth about life is maybe everything happens for a reason, or fate. Also to always be honest and always tell the truth no matter what. Thats what I think.
What is truth? That's a good question. Many people take the truth for granted. The truth may be, the importance of life, and why we are all here. I believe that no one really knows the exact definition of truth, but we all have our own definitions. The truth about life may be that everyone is here for a their own purpose, that we will accomplish later in life. Or what we are meant to go through. You meet the people that you around daily, to help you find out what truth is.

This is a really hard question. I think truth is what really happens. It is an explanation to problems and complications. It eventually always comes out. May not be in a persons lifetime but it will. The truth of life different for everyone. It is the purpose of why that person is here. Those who don't figure it out or accomplish it, won't have a complete it.

What truth really is isn't at all easy to put in words but here's what i think. I believe that truth is what something truly is. How something really happened. The truth about life, to me, is that everyone has a reason for living. That people shouldn't live by what other people tell them. And that they should live their own lives the way they want to. That's what i believe.

What is truth and truth about life thats it come on thsi is not going to easy. Anyways truth is what true or apears corret. You may say that each person see its differntly but how i see it is either you are tell the truth or you are lieing. There is very few truths about life beacuase you can do what every you want. One thing for certain is at some point you will die and you need water and food to live. But besides those things there is not many more truths about life.

Truth is being honest to yourself and others. Its ensurence to friends and family. Truith about life is, you get what you make out of it. If you spend your whole life not taking chances, you will live with regrets. Life is unpredictable, which makes each day something to look foward too. Learning from ones mistakes is something I learned. You only live once, so make it count is the truth.
Sean Deters
Wow, good question. This is kinda a hard one. Trust is something you have for someone, or something. Trust is somthing you have to gain for other people, like your friends, family, boyfriends and girlfriends. Sometimes trust can be very hard to gain. People take trust for granit. O and just to let you know when you flicked me in the head today i wasnt sleeping, i shut my eyes for like a second and you flicked me. And that hurt haha. (:
I think truth is being honest to others and not lying to them. If you just lie to people than they won't respect you. If you tell the truth then they will respect you, and treat you the way you want to be treated. The truth about life is to have a good education, have a job, and live a happy life. Also, if you just get out of things by lying you would get in trouble. Also, is that friends will come in and out of your life. Thats what the truth of life is aoubt to me.

The truth about life? I'm no philosopher, the truth is I don't know. I think the truth about life is in the eye of the beholder. For me, the truth about life is that we only have so much time. So I'll spend my time not searching the true meaning of life but creating my own. My own truth concerning the relationships I've developed over the years, or the truths concerning my relationship with myself. Someone once told me that the meaning of life, and the most honest thing is your relationships with others. and I believe him. And thats the truth.
Chloe Martin, 6th hour
What is truth? Truth is what we want to know. Truth is the meaning of reality. We need to earn things in life and respect what we got. I think truth is hard to find and cant be proved by just a theory. I think every person is hear for a certain role. This role may be bad or good but I still believe its done for a purpose. Truth is also honesty. being honest to people and doing things right is telling the truth or expressing the truth.
These are my thoughts.
truth is a word that has many meanings. it is the ability to trust someone. it allows you to belive in things. sometimes life can cover up the truth trying to make it seem better. but later it turns out to be a problem. you never know what is going to happen or when. so don't worry about finding the truth about everything because it might disappoint you.

truth is being honest. you can truthful to yourself and others. sometimes its hard to tell the truth. but the truth is when you li, most of the time you get in a bigger mess. im not sure what the truth about life is. i would think everyone has their own understnding of it. the truth of life is probably what you have learned the time youve been alive.

Truth is what most people try to accomplish. Many people in the world try to tell the truth. We all know from experice that we learn about truth when he are young. I really can't tell you what the truth about life. Only because I don't know the answer. I bet that nobody knows the answer. I don't think that we will ever know the answer to that question.
truth is something that is very hard to grasp. In honoset opinion should not be a hard subject to understand. some people say it takes a lifetime to understand or a great deal of wisdom. truth is simple though, it just requires a deep understanding of the perople around you and how they react to certain situtions in there envroment. the truth bout life is, there is no truth. people dont accept people for who they really are. when someone gains someones impresion they tend to keep the same thoughts about them. So unless you ca grasp the idea that people are not who they seem to be then really there isnt a truth to life.

To tell the truth, I have no idea how to answer this. I guess it's up to each individual to decide his or her interpretation. But let's face the facts; life is short; you don't get everything for free; and that honest, hard-working people become the most successful in life. That being said, life should be lived to the fullest. The truth about life is that you have to work hard to make it very far in the world. However, we all have to work together in order to make a nice society. Everyone has their own thoughts on what the truth about life is.
This is a really hard question to answer. And honestly I dont think I have one. I guess truth could be a figure of speech in a way for society. The truth isent always easy. Its facts about life in a way. The truth about life is that things arent always just handed to you. Maybe they are in highschool and younger. But once your out in the real world , thats when the truth about life kicks in. You have to work for what you want and those are usually the most sucessful.

Truth really can't be described. Truth is interpreted differently by almost every person. One person could be very strict about truth while another person tells a million white lies and thinks that they're being truthful. The truth about life is that it is completely unfair. No matter how much you try to make everything go right, something will always slap you in the face. Truth is a cruel reality of life. It makes people who they are. It also be a way of describing yourself.

Mr. Kay,
What is truth? Well to me truth is being honest with anyone you are around. The truth about life? Well it depends on what kind of lifestyle you live. To me its realizing that any day could be my last. You never know what could happen to you or the people you love. I read Tuesdays with Morrie while ago and it discusses this idea throughout the entire book. That is my impression on the truth about life.
The truth is something that hasnt been altered to make some statement different.Often if you tell the truth things work out better.If you tell the truth you dont have to be worried about getting caught in a lie.In truth you may get in trouble sometimes but in the end it is the right thing.The truth in life is people lie and things can go wrong.If the truth is told often you will be trusted.Liars are often looked down upon.In life you will be lied to a lot so us as humans learned how to learn to pick out a lie.I think that if you just tell the truth you will be trusted and respected.

Mr. Kay,
I believe that truth is not lying to yourself. Many people today dont only lie to eachother, but also lie to them selves. Thisjust makes a society of people thinking that there things they are not. Truth is doing what you want in life. You have to do what you want no matter what it is. You owe it to yourself to be the best you can be. You shouldnt ever lower yourslef to other peoples expectations.

Truth? Truth to me isn't being honest, truth is realizing what you're doing with your life. Truth is being true to yourself and not lieing to yourself about what you're going to accomplish in your life. If you could care less about school and about learning, then the truth is you probably won't have a solid career when you're older. Also the truth is hard work gets you to successful places. The truth about life is that unless you care about yourself and your actions, you won't have a life. Also the truth is that people judge you by your actions. If you're a total idiot people will see that and instantly you're judged, and to me the truth is to act like yourself.
Megan Fraser 6th hour
Truth is what really happens. It isn't all the little white lies that people make up and say it's the truth. Truth is a hard concept to explain. Everyone has different interpretations of the meaning of truth. But there is one truth about life that we all have in common. We all die sometime and should make the most of the time we have here because you never know when it is the last day. The truth about life is that you get out of it what you put into it.
What is truth? What is the truth about life?
Truth is a statement that does not give any false acquisitions. Truth is something that everyone wants. Sometimes the truth can be very hurtful, or it can be very exciting. Truth is life. Its everywhere! Haha the truth about life.. The truth about life is that its not always fair. With out your family or things to look forward to life pretty much sucks. You might get stuck with a bunch of bad luck or you will missing homework assignment because of an emergency and your teacher wont let you turn it in late. Life in some cases can be really great, it all depends who you surround yourself with and what decisions you make.

Truth is honesty. Truth is about being honest to family, friends, strangers, and yourself. If you are not being honest with somebody, then it is not the truth. I also believe that truth can be a realization. It can be life answers. The truth about life: there is no single truth about life. Life has many truths. It can have as many truths as a person can discover. Also, I think that an individual has to define their own truths. What could be true to one person might not be to another. Truth can only truly be defined by your opinions and values.

This is a great question for the weekend. i think trust is if you know someone that you can believe even if all odds are against them you know they wouldnt lie to you. Just like friends if you havfe a really close friend and you know you can trust them. Then again trust is a very delicate thing in anything because once that trust is broken it is very hard to get back. Truth in life i feel is a very important thing to have and use. I believe this because all truth can do is help you out becase mthen someone trust you even more because you dont lie and your always honest with them. That is what i think and believe what trust is in life.

truth is a part of live and you you have to live with it. It is good to tell the truth and you should do it often. but it is not always easy to tell the truth sometimes. But sometimes you have to. But in rare times you should lie. It would be better if you lie in some situaions. But you could also get in more trouble for lieing. Sometimes telling the truth may benifit for you in the future.

What is truth? What is the truth about life?
The real truth is very hard to defne. I think that truth is the thigs that someone is thinking and why they are making actions. It is the raw things in live. The truth about life is even harder to understand. Every person is set out to do something for a reason. Everyone has their job and must do it. However, some do not follow their set plans. The truth is, that many people arent good at heart. And that the dont think that their role or job is cool enough ad decide to be different with what they think is rght. This is also an example of how being an individualist is wrong.
the truth is hard to put in words but i will tell you what i think the truth is to me. the truth is to be honest. i think most people think the truth is just not to lie. but i think people need to also be truthfull to themselves. the truth about life i dont realy know what to say about that. but i think the truth to life is to always be true in what you say andd do. so that is what i think the truth is.
Truth is being completley honest. Holding nothing back and never being afraid to say what you want. Your truth can be blunt and rude or said in a very positive but truthful manner. The truth about life? You make your own truth about life. It could be treat life however it ends anyways. Or it could be do your best in life and treat people kindly. Truth is whatever you make of it.
What is truth? What is the truth about life?
Truth is not easy to put into words. I think truth is being honest to the ones you care most for. Truth is also being honest with yourself. Like Trying to be something you're not. The truth about life is what you make out of it. If you get lemons, make lemonade figuratively speaking. Don't take anything for granted. If you don't put anything in to life, you shouldn't expect to get anything out of it.

Truth is yeah of course being honest, but there's more to add to that. It's being your own person around people and being proud of it. You can do your own thing and not be ashamed of it, if you did, that would be lying. You should be honest in life by knowing who your friends are and not being embarrased by them. Don't just go for the popular kids in school.
Carolyn Newton Period 5
Truth is something people depend on to gain respect and trust. If you don't tell the the truth then people will not trust you. Therefore trust and truth go hand in hand with each other. Its like the story the boy who called wolf. The first two times he called for help people came to help him from the big bad wolf. But on the third time he actually really did need help and because no one thought he was telling the truth he was eaten by the wolf. Lesson learned to gain trust you must tell the truth.

Please respond to the following:

Think before you respond as this is not such an easy concept. Good luck."
truth, i believe, are the following: When you care about someone enough, that they need to be told their flaw. When You want someone to stop do something bad for them, for whatever reason they choose to do so. When your uncomfortable about what people are saying around you. when you need to outlet some anger. When you love someone so much, that you need to have them know that you love them, before you both split your paths in life.
all of those have ben somewhat close to me, within the past 6 months, of happening, where i told those truths. of course i can think of billions more, but those are the few that have hit home fore me.
I think the truth about life, in a simple, and what looks like pessimistic way, to be that; we are born, we make choices, those choices affect the world, we leave our mark, then we die.
once we are dead though, we leave an even bigger mark, because like i mentioned in an earlier post, people respect you more when they can not ask you Why.

Mr.kay,
I think that truth is how ever you feel life is. I think that the truth of life is anything you find important or has quality in your life. In our lives the truth may also be how things are or how we are. Like, a person with a disability, there truth in life may be that thats how it will always be and thats who they are. you can't change the real you. Everything happens for a reason.

I think that truth is like maybe something that is good for you. Maybe not good for other people but maybe good for you. People tell the truth because its what the right thing to do is. The truth of life on the other hand is something like, you have to work for what you want. Nothing in life is free, but hey life isnt always fair. If somethhing is free in life well then i guess you have a whole lot of luck with you. You gota deal with what you get.

What is truth? This is not easy to describe.I think that truth is hard to come by. Its things we don't always want to hear, or want to know.The truth about life is that you will always be making mistakes and always trying to correct them, not everyone is perfect. I can tell you that in my life i have made some pretty bad mistakes but I don't regret them because they would not have made me the person I am today. Not everyone can say that they know the truth about life.

Mr Kay,
Thanks for the near impossible question-
Truth is a hard thing to explain. It's what is there it is whats blatant, its the reality. It's what is honest or seeming to be honest. The truth of life is also a hard thing to explain. The truth of life is siomething i haven't understood yet. It isn't just right in front of me. I dont know if there is one true truth that everyone has that is true. Maybe every person has one true they hold to themsleves and it doesn't nessesarily need to be someone elses as well. So what im trying to convey is that there may not be one universal truth in life, but that everone has there own truths. To me it is hard to say, but im sure I will find out later in life.
the truth about life is many things. One life is truly not fair. One you have to earn things for yourself when you get older. Another is that you cant always get what you want. Thats true. Its not just a song its truth. Those are facts of life.
