I believe this means that you shouldn't care what other people think about you. If you worry about what others say about you and stuff you will end up holding back. Trying to please other people only ends up making you unhappy. People don't always see who you truly are. They get stuck on the surface. However, people are always much more complex than what a you can see. Someone could come off shallow and inconsiderate, but if you get to know that person they may surprise you. First impressions are often wrong so you should always get to know someone before writing them off. Kristen Pauly 6th hr.
i think this quote means that you should not allow people to define who we are as people. We shouldnt care what they say about us its really what we think about ourself. They dont see whats on the inside they dont get what you go through. We shall not let people judge who we are. Stand up for yourself. Dont let people get to you because you will end up being just who they are. people shouldnt judge people before they get to know them they have no idea how people live or what they go through. We shall not define people all we can do is be who we are.
What I think this means is don't let other peoples thoughts influence you. For example if someone says something bad about somebody. You shouldn't believe them because you don't know what this person is like. Also, you should use your own judgement, and get the facts before saying you don't like this person. Don't go along with a group just to be accepted. Also, don't be politically correct. Thats what I think Virginia Satir is saying. Katherine Walsh 6th hour
I think that this quoute means that we cannot let others thoughts tell us who we are. Just like another blog that we did. I stated that I don't care what people think about me. I am not going to change myself for another person. I will not change my personality for another person. In my classes people dont like me because I am loud. Well I think that they will have to deal with it. They need to learn to tune it out. Or they can ask me kindly to lower my voice. The person knows who they are. There is no reason to name, names.
The Quote "We must not allow other people's limited perceptions to define us." I believe that this means that you really shouldn't care what other people percive you as. I see people worrying about the smallest things in life all the time, so what if someone doesn't like you, just get over it and find other people to be friends with. If you are always worrying about who doesn't like and what people think of you then you will be holding back, and not show you true self. A persons perception is usually based on their first impression of you. If you're loud and annoying then most people single you out as a person that they really wont like. But if you considerate and help people out then their perception of you will probally be good. But first impressions aren't always acurrate, so don't just automaticly assume the worste of someone if they have a bad first impression. Get to know the person and give them aother chance to see who they really are.
Allowing perceptions to limit yourself is completely wrong. That would mean other people would control you because everyone perceives you differently. I think this quote means you can't sllow other people to control you. If you focused on every little perception someone made about you, you could even live. Being a people-pleaser really stresses you out. Nobody will always be happy with you. Being imperfect is a natural thing and letting perceptions get in the way of living your life will only slow you down. If you excel past the perceptions, then life will be much better. Perceptions don't define you unless you let them. Only you and your actions can define you. Perceptions can be good and bad but you can't allow them to slow your life down.
5th This quote means that you should not let other people's perception define who you are. People have a limited perception of us because they only know us to a certain extent. Only you know who you are, and only you can define yourself. If someone perceives you before they even know you, than that is not a valid perception. It is also not fair to the person they are perceiving. The point Virgina Satir is trying to get across is that people may judge you falsely, but you should let someone else tell you who you are. Sometimes, when someone is labeled something so many times by so many people, they start to believe it. You should hold on to what you know yourself to be, and not let anybody persuade you differently. Also, you should not make a judgment about someone if you don't know them.
This quote also takes a strong toll on percievment. It means that you shall not ever settle or believe in the little and untrue perceptions inwhich people think of you. You shall always have faith in your being. You shall never settle for the way peop0le see you wether its bad or untrue. Stand for what you believe in and who you are what you believe in and do not let other perceptions change that. This quote shows a great example of people in life. One acts on something while the other percieves maby a bad sense and the person whom is acting settles and allows it. This can not be done. you must believe in your self and have a strong mind set on your life and well being.
I believe that this quote is stating that you should not change your personality just because someone see's you in a different way than you see yourself. I think that this quote is trying to stress the point that the only opinion about the way you live your life should be you. It shouldn't matter what other people perceieve you as. It should only matter what you think of yourself. If you live your life changing your personality and your self image, then you and no one else will ever know who you really are. You will spend the rest of your life searching for yourself, when really, all you need to do is be who you are. Wear the clothes you want, eat the food you want, hang with the friends you want, and be who you want to be. You will be more happy if you are the person you want to be in life. People will have more respect for you if you don't care about the way people think of you. They should like you just the way you are. No matter what.
i think this quote is similar to the one we had a while back. its dealing with perceptions and what i believe to be our limitations as well. when talking about this subject of your goals, will power, and limitations it can be said that other people will effect your involvement in these topics. as was expressed in the quote, you should try not to let other people limit you from what your capable. the first one: your goals; people can defiantly be a stumbling block for you if there are being negative towards the goals you would like to achieve. to overcome the negative vibes you may receive it is good to have will power. if you set your mind on doing something you should go out and do it. also when reading this quote i would relate it to thinking outside the box. in a way its telling you to confident with yourself and be confident in your actions. you should no your own limitations but at the same time know that its possible to break through those limitations as well.
This quote means that you shouldnt let peoples perceptions of you define who you are as a person. Throughout life, not everyone is going to like you. People are always going to perceive you differntly, whether its a good or bad perception. But only you can define who you are, not other people. If you always tryed to go along with others perceptions of you, then you wouldnt go very far in life. The main point that Virginia Satir is trying to establish in this quote is to not listen to other peoples perceptions of you. You have to know yourself, and thats the most important.
In my opinion this quote means that we should not allow the observations that other people make of us define who we are. Every person we come in contact with has an idea of what kind of a person they think we are. These perceptions could be based on what we wear, who we hang out with and other things people have observed about us. Does this really trully define us? The answer to that would be "no." What other people perceive me as, does not make me who I am. We have all heard the saying, "do not judge a book by its cover." Your perception of another might not be accurate and to make an assumption would not be right. We all have our own individuality and that makesus who we are. So we must not let another persons perception of us define who we are.
“We must not allow other people's limited perceptions to define us.” Virginia Satir
To me this quote means that just because some people are superficial doesn't mean that you have to be. Just because they can't see you for who you really are then that's their problem. Though some people may come off as someone who's a total jerk, they may be entirely different on the inside. Or someone could seem like they're extremely shy but once your around them for a little while and get to know them they could be the most loquacious person you could ever meet. It also means that you should be who you want to be. Don't try to be someone your not because it just makes you unhappy. Sooner or later you won't even be able to recognize who you are.
I think it means we shouldt let the way other people define us. Some people may see me as a boring kid in school. While outside of school I am loud and open to talk to who ever. Or if the person is wearing a certain type of clothing we shouldn't assume what they wear represents what they do. Like I shouldnt assume that a kid I see wearing a rock n roll shirt does drugs. Thats one of the main things we do when we see someone new. We judge them for what they look like and what they may do in school. Instead we should get to know them a bit more before labeling them a failure or jackass. For all you know they are a completely difrent person then how they represent themselves at school.
This quote means that you should not let other people's perceptions define or label who you are. This means that just because someone doesn't like you, you can still go find other friends. You shouldn't let other people effect the way you live your life. So what if there's someone who doesn't like you, who cares. If someone doesn't like what they see, then its their loss thats how you have to look at it. There is so many people who care about every little flaw in someone. There is even more people who care way to much about what other people think of them. People who are affected by others perceptions don't act like themselves. They try and be someone their not so that people will like them.
This is one of those peer pressure quotes. I'm going to be honest; I hate clichés. This just feels like a after school special. Don't be bothered of what others think. Be yourself, don't change to others will. Use your own brain. In the end we are social creatures thriving on others opinion. To feel important there must be others who think you are important. For there to be quality in the world we must first value what is crap. In the end, we are small bickering children discussing these complexities of social interaction. It's all about perception.
We must not care about what others think about us. To me this is a lot easier said then done. I constantly think about what others perceptions are about me. Not because I choose too, I think it is just a habit that I have devolpoed. I hate it too because a lot of times I cant be myself around people. Our generation is becoming more and more critical of each other. A lot of times we let others hold us back, whether it be a dream of playing pro sports, or even getting your perfect job. It justs takes that one person to tell you its impossible, and often we belive that one person. You have to stop worrying and just be yourself. Jordan Blanzy 6th
Mr. Kay, I believe that the quote, “We must not allow other people's limited perceptions to define us,” is generally about underestimation. It is trying to say that if someone underestimates you, you should never become to underestimated form of you. What I am trying to say by that is don't be the thing people think you are when they are underestimating you. Say perchance you have a bunch of people that say, " You can't go out for the B-Ball team," you shouldn't let that stop you from trying to be the best dang b-baller ever. People don't have a full perception because they see us how they see us and we could like something they don't know about. This is where underestimation comes in. This to me is a very strong and intelligent quote. I think that if one followed what Virginia is trying to say, people wouldn't be afraid to do something to their full potential. I don't think people would be afraid to go out for a team or a play or anything if they follow said quote. People should follow this quote to become better, more outgoing people and you can live without any prejudice and underestimation.
i believe this means, that people now a days think what ever they want about us, and they think it can get stuck in our heads. many teenagers now a days are pressured in to many things, or think they have to be like every other "in crowd" truthfully i think that you should define yourself, other peoples perceptions could reck your mood, even if things got worse it could lead to depression. if what others think get in your way, it could get stuck in your mind and really hurt you, it wont make the perception on you any better because then people could think of you as a poser or a wanna be. this is lead to drama and all that, to prevent that is being a leader and not allow ppeople to get in your head. all in all, everyone would be very different if we made our own decisions, i think this quote is true.
This quote is saying that you should never allow your self to beleive what others think of you. Sometimes when you hear so much about one thing, you start to beleieve it. When this happens, you become miserable. You start to think that you are a waste of time and will start to be what others want you to be like. Most of the time the people that talk negative about you are either jealous, or dont know the real you. Which either way, you should care because if they have the balls to talk about you without knowing you then you shouldnt want to get to know them.
This quote to me means that we should only live life to our own perception. It also means that we should only live life to our own beliefs or our own standards. Don't let others influence how you think. I agree with Kristen, she said "trying to please other people only ends up making you unhappy." It's true, I try and make everybody happy and it only bites me in the butt in the end. So from now on I will try and make myself happy first.
I think this can mean many different things. First is you shouldn't care what others think because it doesn't really matter. If that bothers you what others say you probably won't make it far because at some point someone won't like you. Also, it is almost like others decide your next move because you are so worried about what they will think. A somewhat different thing is you shouldn't let ths take you over because its not always true what people say aobut you. That is pretty much how rumors are made in school. Last main thing is no matter what people say aboutyou go with what you believe because that is what really matters.
This quote is saying that you shouldn't let others views bring you down. Its saying that you should be your own person and not be persuaded by peer pressure. If you are truly an independent person this peer pressure will not bother you and you will not think much of it. But if you let it get to your head and start changing your lifestyle the peer pressure has overcome you. The quote isn't saying that little changes aren't bad. It is just saying that if you change everything about you just to satisfy people around you, you give up what makes you, you. Like the weed comical were everyone else is changing his appearance and making him look different instead of being himself.
this quote by Virginia Satir made me think a little bit and it is a very interesting way to look at how we look at ourselves. even though sometimes we don't want to admit it, others have a huge impact on how we think of ourselves. we have to get past that and look at ourselves how we want to be looked at. but it might also help to look at how others view us because we might think we are a certain way but we aren't. but we should never let peoples hold us back. no one knows you better than yourself and you know what you want. even though sometimes you think you aren't capable of something dont let others tell you that you aren't, you should try and see for yourself.never let someone else hold you down.
We must not allow other people's limited perceptions to define us.” Virginia Satir I think this is saying you cant let other peoples judgement bring your self down. In the long run what other people think of you doesn't matter. If you work hard and dont get caught up in other peoples lives then your s would succssed. It could also mean dont let those people influnce your lives just to look better to them. There is always going to be someone that doesnt like you and you cant change everything about you to look good to everyone. Eventually you would have to except your life the way it is and not care about what others think of you. All in all the quote is saying don tlet other people dictate your life. Zack ruffin
This quote means to me that just beacause someone eles see you some way, does not mean that is how you are. An example of this quote is when my parents don't think i am capiable of running, but i prove them wrong by running. If i listened to them then i would not run, then i am leting them control my life, by going beyond what they precevie of me. You wil never know unless you try, just beacause someone perevices you one way, does not mean you have to make them right. It goes the other way too if someone perception is very high of you, but you have tryed and you are not capable of what they percive you, dont kill your self other trying. Don;t let other control YOUR life or YOU will never get what YOU want from life, even if they arnt forcing you to do something they are still controling you though their perception. THe main thing is that you have the control over the situation, and perceptions never force you to do something, do what you want and no one will ever limit you.
To me this quote means that you shouldnt let other people make you who you are. Dont let other people tell you what to do. When someone does that they want to make you the way they want. When people have limited perceptions they use those to define us in their own way. You shouldnt care what other people think of you becasue they are just trying to change you. Never dig yourself a hole deeper then you need just get done how ever much you need and be done with it. If someone does this to you just leave them becasue it isnt worth while trying to let them make you who they want you to be.
I think that this qoute means that you shouldn't care about what other people say about you. If some one says something about you, you may want to change it so that you can fit in. Poeple may become something that they aren't and that is not being who you are. people will make perseptions of other people. This is because that person doesn't want people making perceptions about them. People want to divert the attention away from them and torwards other people. but the also want to bring attention to show that that other person is different than them. You shouldn't let other peoples perceptins define who you are you should be your own person and be who you want to be. You can only define who you are. Chris Reid 6th hour
I think we should live by the way of this quote. We need to act the way nature intended us to act. We shouldn't care what other peoples perceptions of us are. If we start to go out of our way to please everybody then our lives will be controlled by those people. We all have our ideal identity and do not want other people painting a different picture. The part where he says "limited" to me means that people can only judge us by the way we seem to them on the out side. They cannot make and educated decision about our essence until they have truly gotten to know us. I think it will be good for all of us after high school to separate away from some of the people we went to school with. We can have a new start on our identity and make ourselves who we want to be and not what other perceive us to be.
This quote could mean a lot of different things. One is, in today's world to many people are hung up on what others think about them. I think that people should care a little less of what others think or say about them. I personally am trying to not care as much and just live my life without listening to that kind of stuff. This quote also says that don't let their limited perception shape who you are. The limited in that part means that people can judge others just on what they think they know about someone else. You may think someone is mean or bratty but they could turn out to be a really nice and considerate person. I know for many people its hard to block out what people think of you, i know I still think what others think of me. People sometimes wont act like themselves around certain people because they are afraid of what they will think. I think that we should be ourselves no matter what, because someone wont know the real you if you try to act like something your not.
I believe this means don't let other peoples thoughts ruin yours. Some people might judge you bad because they are only seeing a little bit of you. Letting the small things in life hurt you is not as bad because you know deep down what you are. People are always different when you get to know them. Some may be very friendly and some may be mean. perceptions can never tell who you are. first impresions in life might hurt you but friends know your true mind.
“We must not allow other people's limited perceptions to define us.” Virginia Satir
I think this quote means don't care what people think. If you get cought up in what people think about you then you will most likely end up changing yourself. Why would you want to hang around everyone looking and acting like someone your not? And there is no possible way to make EVERYONE 100% satisfied with yourself so why don't you just worry about how YOU feel about yourself and go from there? Don't get me wrong though.. Everyone cares about what people think of them to an extent. If you didn't then you wouldn't even bother getting ready to go to school in the morning. You would just go the way you look when you get up. Loll
To me it means that there is a world that we perceive and a world of others’ that perceive us. Their perceptions are limited. No one truly knows anyone else. They only have an impression of who we are not who we truly are. Potential always exists, even if not obvious to yourself or others at times. Be true to your self. Never let other people tell you what you can or can’t do. You are the only one that can say what you can or cannot do.
I believe this means that you shouldn't care what other people think about you. If you worry about what others say about you and stuff you will end up holding back. Trying to please other people only ends up making you unhappy. We shouldnt care what they say about us its really what we think about ourself. They dont see whats on the inside they dont get what you go through. Also they can think whatever they please. I'm me and thats that don't try to change me or try to make me better. I love the way i am and that will never change.
“We must not allow other people's limited perceptions to define us.” Virginia Satir
I believe that this means that we shouldnt stay wihtin who people want us to be. We need to expand our lives in as many ways we can. I think that people always set standards and views on how good people are, or how smart they are, or simply what someone can do. Some times i think that these are set way too low. Someone can be amazed on what they can really do that someone else doesnt think they can. I think that people are trying to make people exact what htye want for themselves, not the best they can be as a person. I think that people should be trying to be the best in all categories and work their hardest to exceed in all areas of life.
Everyone creates judgments and opinions about others, but you cannot contain yourself in their beliefs. People become accustom to what they are known for, or perceived as, and cant get away from it. After being perceived as something for so long its harder to leave it, you become it. Leaving what you've always known is terrifying. As humans we are accustom to staying in our comfort zones, changing who you are completely exceeds such boundaries. And you become complacent, this is the life you know and its not that bad, so why stop living it? Its important to see past others judgments no matter how hard. If you live your life being perceived as a screw up, its a good thing to change. Don't let the ideas of others stop you from reaching success.
Just because someone says so doesn't make it true. You can't let someone lable you as something you aren't and accept it. If someone labled a soso person who doesn't show up to school alot a stoner or something, it doesn't mean that they are. They could have health issues or family crisises, but either situation is possible.
People shouldn't judge people from what they see on the outside. I've had my personal share of experiences, and it's a terrible thing to happen to the innocent.
I have a question for you all: "when you look at ME, what do you see?" Someone 'weird'? 'Crazy'? 'Stupid'? I would say the same thing to the people who look at me and make a face like they smelled something rotting. The face that says so much about the person wearing it: "You're weird because I said so, and you can't do anything about it because I'm better than you." And every dirty look in the hallway is complimented with a cruel sneer.
Their are many examples to where perceptions caused by differences are accounted for in ones life.If you have different colored skin from others, critisizism shouldnt limit your abilities. You can go far in life, do whatever you please, but if negative perceptions are taken to heart, then you cant go far. Its important to over come diversity in the conques of success. Their are no limitations in which an individual may strive for. People will doubt, people will critizize, but its up to them to not let it get to them. A persons identity should not be defined by others perceptions, but by their own mold that reflects who they are.
I believe this quote defines many people today. All of us in the world are guilty of this. It means judging someone before you get to know them. Also its saying that you shouldnt care what someone says about you until they know you. Everyone has opinions of when they first meet someone, and this is telling us to look past their opinion, because they dont know you. I try to look past peoples opinions, as well does everyone else. People shouldnt make judgments so quickly, but we do. I think its part of the american culture. Americans judge without learning the real person.
Other peoples perceptions cannot not define our lives, or else we would be controlled by what others think. Every person has the right to make their own choices, so why would we allow others to choose what makes us an individual. No person can know you well enough to know who you are. There are always multiple sides to your life that different people see. Plus, there may be areas of your life that you keep to yourself and nobody knows, such as your emotions. When people make perceptions of us, they are limited to the sides of our life that they have seen. Even then, there are different sides to every story or event as well. If one event in your life was seen by different people, they may all have a different perspective on it, which means that they will all have different perceptions of you at the time. With so many different perceptions of you, how can any of them be correct? That is the problem with allowing other's perceptions define you, because they are not true. Only you can define yourself.
I think this means that you shouldn't care what other people thing of you or see you as. If your always trying to make your self something your not because of what people think then your not gonna get far. your most likely not going to be happy, cause your not doing that you want. Your trying to live up to people standards. Sometimes when people give a first impression of a person who is self conceded and Thinks there better than everyone else. Or maybe just what you hear from someone. But if you really take the time to get to know someone you can find out who they really are, not just by what people tell you.
This qoute explains you should not allow people's rude or ignorant views of you label who you are. Peoples perceptions of culture, religion, race or anything can effect the way those people live. They may think that if thats how people view them, why not give them what they expect? So you hsould not let these views and thoughts control how you act. Be who you are, and if people critize you because of thier wrong perceptions, they are at fualt. Sure you will be made fun of for being different, but you'll be truly happy with yourself. SO basically perceptions should just be ignored becasue they are either wrong, or can hurt people.
I believe that this quote is trying to say that you shouldn't let other people judge you. You are who you are, and that's something you should be proud of. Everyday teens are trying to impress one another, which is a waste of time. If we were to scrutinize every little detail about ourselves, who are you really trying to impress, yourself? We all shouldn't focus on how other people look at us, we should concentrate on how we receive ourselves. At the end of the day that's all that really matters. What you do defines you as a person. Now perceptions can be both good and bad, depending on how you look at them, but you shouldn't take them to heart, it'll only make things worse.
I think this statement means that you shouldnt let what other people say about you to or to get to you. If you let people know that what they are saying bugs you they will keep doing it. Last year i made that mistake, and i still do sometimes. Its not always gonna be the easiest thing to do but you just have to try and bow it of. Never let anything get to you. Don't let people tell someone about you or rumors about you. You have to tell people your self. Half the stuff that people say about you or hear is made up. If you let people agree with what they hear they will never really know how you are. Dont let yourself be the person who hides behind a wall, away from everyone and everything.
I believe this means you shouldn't let people judge you as a person. You are who you are, and you should be proud of that. If everyone were to scrutinize every little flaw about each other, who would that really be impressing? No one. Not being perfect can be a good thing, you won't let anything slow you down. On the other hand if you were trying to be a crow pleaser, trying to make everyone else happy, you won't please the person that matters most, which is yourself. I'd rather look at myself and be content than standing in front of a crowd pleasing them, and not being me. Don't let other people limit yourself, step out of line every once in a while. Perceptions can either be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on how you interpret it. I think that everyone should make the most of themselves, then trying to be something their not based on other's people views. Occasionally, first impressions are known to be inaccurate. There's always more to people then what meets the eye, but since people judge at first glance they miss out on the real person.
Since man could have clear and concise thoughts, he has always had a perception of things. most of the time, when i hear the word perception, i think its bad, in the fact that someone has a weird perception of me. which may have a cause to my depression. but to let others judge you on that, should not be acceptable to you. i know it happens to me, and i have seen it happen to other people. Even i have made misconceptions of people, and who they are. but if you let others control the way you look at yourself, and how others look at you; you won't ever live your life. that is why i dont let others affect me, although they may have misconceptions of me. something i thought of, which i will leave off, is a quote that i thought of. "I pitty the fool who only see's me for the skin deep perceptions i give off"
This means to me, that people are always going to think less of you. No one is ever going to know your true ability but you. If you care what people think of you then it aloows them to define your limits. It lets them control you and see what they want to see. If you do let people define you, you can never reach full potential. People may percieve you as one way but it is never truly who you are. If you let them just to think this is who you are then they are always going to think less of you. Perceptions, and how people think of you are yours to make and no one else's.
I think this quote means dont let peoples reactions change you for who you are or what you do. even though we talk about these kinds of things we still let these things happen. We still let people change us for the worset. No matter what we may say about not letting people lit them change us, it still happens and changes us. We may thing no one will ever chang us but it still happens like i said. We can not, no matter what lit people change us for the worst. this is what leads to bad things. in some cases it can lead to hurting themselfs to maby even posably suicide.
I believe this quote means that we should not let others control our decisions. If you worry about what others think and tell you to do then you will never make good decisions for yourself. By listening to other people you allow them to control your life. You may end up nowhere and you may also regret those decisions for the rest of your life. It is important to make your own decisions. Be a leader not a follower. Trust your self to make good decisions.
I think this quote is about transcendetalism in a way. When you are an individual and express your beliefs then you shouldn't really be afraid of what people think of you and how they think you should be treated. A lot of people make unfair judgements about people, some true and some untrue. What this quote is saying is that we shouldn't start to believe all of other people's perceptions and should live by our own experiences. When we just do what others think we should do then we are not living our lives according to us and usually aren't being the greatest that we can be. A lot of people judge without really knowing a whole lot and that can be hurtful. People can look at someone and say oh she's fat, don't talk to her and then whoever is being insulted can start to believe that. This quote is encouraging people to be confident and accepting of who they are and make their own choices.
This quote means so much to me. Ever since i entered high school and started playig basketball people have told me to give up because they said i would never be as good as my brother. This quote means to ignore the others who say you won't succeed. Don't let the people who say you won't achieve define what you are capable of. No one can tell you how good you will do at something the only factors that effect that is how you take their cmments. I for one ignore all the negativity and i never let people tell me that im going to do the minimum. You shouldn't care what people say unless it can be helpful towards your goal or life.
“We must not allow other people's limited perceptions to define us.” Virginia Satir This quote means, I think, we should not always just easily believe what other people talk about us. People in a society live comparing and judging each other. People, and, take a lot of influence from their reputation and judgment by others. However people's viewpoint is located outside the person who is being seen. Sight from outside, besides, cannot see what's inside unless you try to open it. Since we get to know that what and how people talk about us may not be truth, we should be rational at finding the real truth of ourselves.
Sorry for the lateness Mr. Kay...it was my sisters bday yesterday and I truly forgot.
This quote means that we cannot let other people decide who we are. In other words, other people have a limited perception becasue they only see a certain side of us. Whether its at school ,or at home, or in public, no one sees the who picture. No one knows the true you. The second part of this quote says that we cannot let these opinions people form about us decide who we are. We have to decide for ourselves who we want to be in this world. Your actions are what make you who you are, and they shouldn't influenced by other people.
Mr.Kay, we all have diffrent ways of preceving things and people. Usually when we see a person acting a certain way we take them to be like that. But thats not always the case. I think thats what the quote is trying to say. I think this quote is basically saying dont let people think they really know who you are. For example if your a rude person at school and to everybody, when people take about you they whould say," oh, their rude thats all he/she dosnt car about anything." And the truth may be that you care about everything your just affraid to show it.
I think that this meens that you shouldnt care what other people think about you. It really doesnt matter what other people think of you just be your self. If you worry about what other peole think and let it bother you then it can hold you back. You wont do eveything you want to do in life. Youl be to afraid of what other people think and wont do what you want to do youl do what every one else wants you to do. The people who judge you just dont know what you are like. They judge you before ythey get time to hang out with you adn het to know how you really are.

I believe this means that you shouldn't care what other people think about you. If you worry about what others say about you and stuff you will end up holding back. Trying to please other people only ends up making you unhappy. People don't always see who you truly are. They get stuck on the surface. However, people are always much more complex than what a you can see. Someone could come off shallow and inconsiderate, but if you get to know that person they may surprise you. First impressions are often wrong so you should always get to know someone before writing them off.

i think this quote means that you should not allow people to define who we are as people. We shouldnt care what they say about us its really what we think about ourself. They dont see whats on the inside they dont get what you go through. We shall not let people judge who we are. Stand up for yourself. Dont let people get to you because you will end up being just who they are. people shouldnt judge people before they get to know them they have no idea how people live or what they go through. We shall not define people all we can do is be who we are.

What I think this means is don't let other peoples thoughts influence you. For example if someone says something bad about somebody. You shouldn't believe them because you don't know what this person is like. Also, you should use your own judgement, and get the facts before saying you don't like this person. Don't go along with a group just to be accepted. Also, don't be politically correct. Thats what I think Virginia Satir is saying.

I think that this quoute means that we cannot let others thoughts tell us who we are. Just like another blog that we did. I stated that I don't care what people think about me. I am not going to change myself for another person. I will not change my personality for another person. In my classes people dont like me because I am loud. Well I think that they will have to deal with it. They need to learn to tune it out. Or they can ask me kindly to lower my voice. The person knows who they are. There is no reason to name, names.
The Quote "We must not allow other people's limited perceptions to define us." I believe that this means that you really shouldn't care what other people percive you as. I see people worrying about the smallest things in life all the time, so what if someone doesn't like you, just get over it and find other people to be friends with. If you are always worrying about who doesn't like and what people think of you then you will be holding back, and not show you true self. A persons perception is usually based on their first impression of you. If you're loud and annoying then most people single you out as a person that they really wont like. But if you considerate and help people out then their perception of you will probally be good. But first impressions aren't always acurrate, so don't just automaticly assume the worste of someone if they have a bad first impression. Get to know the person and give them aother chance to see who they really are.

Allowing perceptions to limit yourself is completely wrong. That would mean other people would control you because everyone perceives you differently. I think this quote means you can't sllow other people to control you. If you focused on every little perception someone made about you, you could even live. Being a people-pleaser really stresses you out. Nobody will always be happy with you. Being imperfect is a natural thing and letting perceptions get in the way of living your life will only slow you down. If you excel past the perceptions, then life will be much better. Perceptions don't define you unless you let them. Only you and your actions can define you. Perceptions can be good and bad but you can't allow them to slow your life down.

This quote means that you should not let other people's perception define who you are. People have a limited perception of us because they only know us to a certain extent. Only you know who you are, and only you can define yourself. If someone perceives you before they even know you, than that is not a valid perception. It is also not fair to the person they are perceiving. The point Virgina Satir is trying to get across is that people may judge you falsely, but you should let someone else tell you who you are. Sometimes, when someone is labeled something so many times by so many people, they start to believe it. You should hold on to what you know yourself to be, and not let anybody persuade you differently. Also, you should not make a judgment about someone if you don't know them.
This quote also takes a strong toll on percievment. It means that you shall not ever settle or believe in the little and untrue perceptions inwhich people think of you. You shall always have faith in your being. You shall never settle for the way peop0le see you wether its bad or untrue. Stand for what you believe in and who you are what you believe in and do not let other perceptions change that. This quote shows a great example of people in life. One acts on something while the other percieves maby a bad sense and the person whom is acting settles and allows it. This can not be done. you must believe in your self and have a strong mind set on your life and well being.

Mr. Kay,
I believe that this quote is stating that you should not change your personality just because someone see's you in a different way than you see yourself. I think that this quote is trying to stress the point that the only opinion about the way you live your life should be you. It shouldn't matter what other people perceieve you as. It should only matter what you think of yourself. If you live your life changing your personality and your self image, then you and no one else will ever know who you really are. You will spend the rest of your life searching for yourself, when really, all you need to do is be who you are. Wear the clothes you want, eat the food you want, hang with the friends you want, and be who you want to be. You will be more happy if you are the person you want to be in life. People will have more respect for you if you don't care about the way people think of you. They should like you just the way you are. No matter what.
Danielle Turner
i think this quote is similar to the one we had a while back. its dealing with perceptions and what i believe to be our limitations as well. when talking about this subject of your goals, will power, and limitations it can be said that other people will effect your involvement in these topics. as was expressed in the quote, you should try not to let other people limit you from what your capable. the first one: your goals; people can defiantly be a stumbling block for you if there are being negative towards the goals you would like to achieve. to overcome the negative vibes you may receive it is good to have will power. if you set your mind on doing something you should go out and do it. also when reading this quote i would relate it to thinking outside the box. in a way its telling you to confident with yourself and be confident in your actions. you should no your own limitations but at the same time know that its possible to break through those limitations as well.
Andy B, 6th hour
This quote means that you shouldnt let peoples perceptions of you define who you are as a person. Throughout life, not everyone is going to like you. People are always going to perceive you differntly, whether its a good or bad perception. But only you can define who you are, not other people. If you always tryed to go along with others perceptions of you, then you wouldnt go very far in life. The main point that Virginia Satir is trying to establish in this quote is to not listen to other peoples perceptions of you. You have to know yourself, and thats the most important.
Clare Pathe
In my opinion this quote means that we should not allow the observations that other people make of us define who we are. Every person we come in contact with has an idea of what kind of a person they think we are. These perceptions could be based on what we wear, who we hang out with and other things people have observed about us. Does this really trully define us? The answer to that would be "no." What other people perceive me as, does not make me who I am. We have all heard the saying, "do not judge a book by its cover." Your perception of another might not be accurate and to make an assumption would not be right. We all have our own individuality and that makesus who we are. So we must not let another persons perception of us define who we are.
“We must not allow other people's limited perceptions to define us.”
Virginia Satir
To me this quote means that just because some people are superficial doesn't mean that you have to be. Just because they can't see you for who you really are then that's their problem. Though some people may come off as someone who's a total jerk, they may be entirely different on the inside. Or someone could seem like they're extremely shy but once your around them for a little while and get to know them they could be the most loquacious person you could ever meet. It also means that you should be who you want to be. Don't try to be someone your not because it just makes you unhappy. Sooner or later you won't even be able to recognize who you are.

I think it means we shouldt let the way other people define us. Some people may see me as a boring kid in school. While outside of school I am loud and open to talk to who ever. Or if the person is wearing a certain type of clothing we shouldn't assume what they wear represents what they do. Like I shouldnt assume that a kid I see wearing a rock n roll shirt does drugs. Thats one of the main things we do when we see someone new. We judge them for what they look like and what they may do in school. Instead we should get to know them a bit more before labeling them a failure or jackass. For all you know they are a completely difrent person then how they represent themselves at school.

This quote means that you should not let other people's perceptions define or label who you are. This means that just because someone doesn't like you, you can still go find other friends. You shouldn't let other people effect the way you live your life. So what if there's someone who doesn't like you, who cares. If someone doesn't like what they see, then its their loss thats how you have to look at it. There is so many people who care about every little flaw in someone. There is even more people who care way to much about what other people think of them. People who are affected by others perceptions don't act like themselves. They try and be someone their not so that people will like them.

This is one of those peer pressure quotes. I'm going to be honest; I hate clichés. This just feels like a after school special. Don't be bothered of what others think. Be yourself, don't change to others will. Use your own brain. In the end we are social creatures thriving on others opinion. To feel important there must be others who think you are important. For there to be quality in the world we must first value what is crap. In the end, we are small bickering children discussing these complexities of social interaction. It's all about perception.

We must not care about what others think about us. To me this is a lot easier said then done. I constantly think about what others perceptions are about me. Not because I choose too, I think it is just a habit that I have devolpoed. I hate it too because a lot of times I cant be myself around people. Our generation is becoming more and more critical of each other. A lot of times we let others hold us back, whether it be a dream of playing pro sports, or even getting your perfect job. It justs takes that one person to tell you its impossible, and often we belive that one person. You have to stop
worrying and just be yourself.

Mr. Kay,
I believe that the quote, “We must not allow other people's limited perceptions to define us,” is generally about underestimation. It is trying to say that if someone underestimates you, you should never become to underestimated form of you. What I am trying to say by that is don't be the thing people think you are when they are underestimating you. Say perchance you have a bunch of people that say, " You can't go out for the B-Ball team," you shouldn't let that stop you from trying to be the best dang b-baller ever. People don't have a full perception because they see us how they see us and we could like something they don't know about. This is where underestimation comes in. This to me is a very strong and intelligent quote. I think that if one followed what Virginia is trying to say, people wouldn't be afraid to do something to their full potential. I don't think people would be afraid to go out for a team or a play or anything if they follow said quote. People should follow this quote to become better, more outgoing people and you can live without any prejudice and underestimation.

i believe this means, that people now a days think what ever they want about us, and they think it can get stuck in our heads. many teenagers now a days are pressured in to many things, or think they have to be like every other "in crowd" truthfully i think that you should define yourself, other peoples perceptions could reck your mood, even if things got worse it could lead to depression. if what others think get in your way, it could get stuck in your mind and really hurt you, it wont make the perception on you any better because then people could think of you as a poser or a wanna be. this is lead to drama and all that, to prevent that is being a leader and not allow ppeople to get in your head. all in all, everyone would be very different if we made our own decisions, i think this quote is true.

Mr. Kay,
This quote is saying that you should never allow your self to beleive what others think of you. Sometimes when you hear so much about one thing, you start to beleieve it. When this happens, you become miserable. You start to think that you are a waste of time and will start to be what others want you to be like. Most of the time the people that talk negative about you are either jealous, or dont know the real you. Which either way, you should care because if they have the balls to talk about you without knowing you then you shouldnt want to get to know them.
Tim Wilson
This quote to me means that we should only live life to our own perception. It also means that we should only live life to our own beliefs or our own standards. Don't let others influence how you think. I agree with Kristen, she said "trying to please other people only ends up making you unhappy." It's true, I try and make everybody happy and it only bites me in the butt in the end. So from now on I will try and make myself happy first.

I think this can mean many different things. First is you shouldn't care what others think because it doesn't really matter. If that bothers you what others say you probably won't make it far because at some point someone won't like you. Also, it is almost like others decide your next move because you are so worried about what they will think. A somewhat different thing is you shouldn't let ths take you over because its not always true what people say aobut you. That is pretty much how rumors are made in school. Last main thing is no matter what people say aboutyou go with what you believe because that is what really matters.
Ty Bouwens, 6th hour
This quote is saying that you shouldn't let others views bring you down. Its saying that you should be your own person and not be persuaded by peer pressure. If you are truly an independent person this peer pressure will not bother you and you will not think much of it. But if you let it get to your head and start changing your lifestyle the peer pressure has overcome you. The quote isn't saying that little changes aren't bad. It is just saying that if you change everything about you just to satisfy people around you, you give up what makes you, you. Like the weed comical were everyone else is changing his appearance and making him look different instead of being himself.

this quote by Virginia Satir made me think a little bit and it is a very interesting way to look at how we look at ourselves. even though sometimes we don't want to admit it, others have a huge impact on how we think of ourselves. we have to get past that and look at ourselves how we want to be looked at. but it might also help to look at how others view us because we might think we are a certain way but we aren't. but we should never let peoples hold us back. no one knows you better than yourself and you know what you want. even though sometimes you think you aren't capable of something dont let others tell you that you aren't, you should try and see for yourself.never let someone else hold you down.
We must not allow other people's limited perceptions to define us.”
Virginia Satir
I think this is saying you cant let other peoples judgement bring your self down. In the long run what other people think of you doesn't matter. If you work hard and dont get caught up in other peoples lives then your s would succssed. It could also mean dont let those people influnce your lives just to look better to them. There is always going to be someone that doesnt like you and you cant change everything about you to look good to everyone. Eventually you would have to except your life the way it is and not care about what others think of you. All in all the quote is saying don tlet other people dictate your life.
Zack ruffin
This quote means to me that just beacause someone eles see you some way, does not mean that is how you are. An example of this quote is when my parents don't think i am capiable of running, but i prove them wrong by running. If i listened to them then i would not run, then i am leting them control my life, by going beyond what they precevie of me. You wil never know unless you try, just beacause someone perevices you one way, does not mean you have to make them right. It goes the other way too if someone perception is very high of you, but you have tryed and you are not capable of what they percive you, dont kill your self other trying. Don;t let other control YOUR life or YOU will never get what YOU want from life, even if they arnt forcing you to do something they are still controling you though their perception. THe main thing is that you have the control over the situation, and perceptions never force you to do something, do what you want and no one will ever limit you.

When people have limited perceptions they use those to define us in their own way. You shouldnt care what other people think of you becasue they are just trying to change you. Never dig yourself a hole deeper then you need just get done how ever much you need and be done with it. If someone does this to you just leave them becasue it isnt worth while trying to let them make you who they want you to be.

I think that this qoute means that you shouldn't care about what other people say about you. If some one says something about you, you may want to change it so that you can fit in. Poeple may become something that they aren't and that is not being who you are. people will make perseptions of other people. This is because that person doesn't want people making perceptions about them. People want to divert the attention away from them and torwards other people. but the also want to bring attention to show that that other person is different than them. You shouldn't let other peoples perceptins define who you are you should be your own person and be who you want to be. You can only define who you are.

I think we should live by the way of this quote. We need to act the way nature intended us to act. We shouldn't care what other peoples perceptions of us are. If we start to go out of our way to please everybody then our lives will be controlled by those people. We all have our ideal identity and do not want other people painting a different picture. The part where he says "limited" to me means that people can only judge us by the way we seem to them on the out side. They cannot make and educated decision about our essence until they have truly gotten to know us. I think it will be good for all of us after high school to separate away from some of the people we went to school with. We can have a new start on our identity and make ourselves who we want to be and not what other perceive us to be.

This quote could mean a lot of different things. One is, in today's world to many people are hung up on what others think about them. I think that people should care a little less of what others think or say about them. I personally am trying to not care as much and just live my life without listening to that kind of stuff. This quote also says that don't let their limited perception shape who you are. The limited in that part means that people can judge others just on what they think they know about someone else. You may think someone is mean or bratty but they could turn out to be a really nice and considerate person. I know for many people its hard to block out what people think of you, i know I still think what others think of me. People sometimes wont act like themselves around certain people because they are afraid of what they will think. I think that we should be ourselves no matter what, because someone wont know the real you if you try to act like something your not.

I believe this means don't let other peoples thoughts ruin yours. Some people might judge you bad because they are only seeing a little bit of you. Letting the small things in life hurt you is not as bad because you know deep down what you are. People are always different when you get to know them. Some may be very friendly and some may be mean. perceptions can never tell who you are. first impresions in life might hurt you but friends know your true mind.

I think this quote means don't care what people think. If you get cought up in what people think about you then you will most likely end up changing yourself. Why would you want to hang around everyone looking and acting like someone your not?
And there is no possible way to make EVERYONE 100% satisfied with yourself so why don't you just worry about how YOU feel about yourself and go from there? Don't get me wrong though.. Everyone cares about what people think of them to an extent. If you didn't then you wouldn't even bother getting ready to go to school in the morning.

To me it means that there is a world that we perceive and a world of others’ that perceive us. Their perceptions are limited. No one truly knows anyone else. They only have an impression of who we are not who we truly are. Potential always exists, even if not obvious to yourself or others at times. Be true to your self. Never let other people tell you what you can or can’t do. You are the only one that can say what you can or cannot do.
I believe this means that you shouldn't care what other people think about you. If you worry about what others say about you and stuff you will end up holding back. Trying to please other people only ends up making you unhappy. We shouldnt care what they say about us its really what we think about ourself. They dont see whats on the inside they dont get what you go through. Also they can think whatever they please. I'm me and thats that don't try to change me or try to make me better. I love the way i am and that will never change.

Please address the following quote:
“We must not allow other people's limited perceptions to define us.”
Virginia Satir
I believe that this means that we shouldnt stay wihtin who people want us to be. We need to expand our lives in as many ways we can. I think that people always set standards and views on how good people are, or how smart they are, or simply what someone can do. Some times i think that these are set way too low. Someone can be amazed on what they can really do that someone else doesnt think they can. I think that people are trying to make people exact what htye want for themselves, not the best they can be as a person. I think that people should be trying to be the best in all categories and work their hardest to exceed in all areas of life.
Everyone creates judgments and opinions about others, but you cannot contain yourself in their beliefs. People become accustom to what they are known for, or perceived as, and cant get away from it. After being perceived as something for so long its harder to leave it, you become it. Leaving what you've always known is terrifying. As humans we are accustom to staying in our comfort zones, changing who you are completely exceeds such boundaries. And you become complacent, this is the life you know and its not that bad, so why stop living it? Its important to see past others judgments no matter how hard. If you live your life being perceived as a screw up, its a good thing to change. Don't let the ideas of others stop you from reaching success.
I think that this quote tells me that:
Just because someone says so doesn't make it true. You can't let someone lable you as something you aren't and accept it. If someone labled a soso person who doesn't show up to school alot a stoner or something, it doesn't mean that they are. They could have health issues or family crisises, but either situation is possible.
People shouldn't judge people from what they see on the outside. I've had my personal share of experiences, and it's a terrible thing to happen to the innocent.
I have a question for you all:
"when you look at ME, what do you see?"
Someone 'weird'? 'Crazy'? 'Stupid'?
I would say the same thing to the people who look at me and make a face like they smelled something rotting. The face that says so much about the person wearing it: "You're weird because I said so, and you can't do anything about it because I'm better than you." And every dirty look in the hallway is complimented with a cruel sneer.

Their are many examples to where perceptions caused by differences are accounted for in ones life.If you have different colored skin from others, critisizism shouldnt limit your abilities. You can go far in life, do whatever you please, but if negative perceptions are taken to heart, then you cant go far. Its important to over come diversity in the conques of success. Their are no limitations in which an individual may strive for. People will doubt, people will critizize, but its up to them to not let it get to them. A persons identity should not be defined by others perceptions, but by their own mold that reflects who they are.

I believe this quote defines many people today. All of us in the world are guilty of this. It means judging someone before you get to know them. Also its saying that you shouldnt care what someone says about you until they know you. Everyone has opinions of when they first meet someone, and this is telling us to look past their opinion, because they dont know you. I try to look past peoples opinions, as well does everyone else. People shouldnt make judgments so quickly, but we do. I think its part of the american culture. Americans judge without learning the real person.

Other peoples perceptions cannot not define our lives, or else we would be controlled by what others think. Every person has the right to make their own choices, so why would we allow others to choose what makes us an individual. No person can know you well enough to know who you are. There are always multiple sides to your life that different people see. Plus, there may be areas of your life that you keep to yourself and nobody knows, such as your emotions. When people make perceptions of us, they are limited to the sides of our life that they have seen. Even then, there are different sides to every story or event as well. If one event in your life was seen by different people, they may all have a different perspective on it, which means that they will all have different perceptions of you at the time. With so many different perceptions of you, how can any of them be correct? That is the problem with allowing other's perceptions define you, because they are not true. Only you can define yourself.

I think this means that you shouldn't care what other people thing of you or see you as. If your always trying to make your self something your not because of what people think then your not gonna get far. your most likely not going to be happy, cause your not doing that you want. Your trying to live up to people standards. Sometimes when people give a first impression of a person who is self conceded and Thinks there better than everyone else. Or maybe just what you hear from someone. But if you really take the time to get to know someone you can find out who they really are, not just by what people tell you.
This qoute explains you should not allow people's rude or ignorant views of you label who you are. Peoples perceptions of culture, religion, race or anything can effect the way those people live. They may think that if thats how people view them, why not give them what they expect? So you hsould not let these views and thoughts control how you act. Be who you are, and if people critize you because of thier wrong perceptions, they are at fualt. Sure you will be made fun of for being different, but you'll be truly happy with yourself. SO basically perceptions should just be ignored becasue they are either wrong, or can hurt people.

I believe that this quote is trying to say that you shouldn't let other people judge you. You are who you are, and that's something you should be proud of. Everyday teens are trying to impress one another, which is a waste of time. If we were to scrutinize every little detail about ourselves, who are you really trying to impress, yourself? We all shouldn't focus on how other people look at us, we should concentrate on how we receive ourselves. At the end of the day that's all that really matters. What you do defines you as a person. Now perceptions can be both good and bad, depending on how you look at them, but you shouldn't take them to heart, it'll only make things worse.
I think this statement means that you shouldnt let what other people say about you to or to get to you. If you let people know that what they are saying bugs you they will keep doing it. Last year i made that mistake, and i still do sometimes. Its not always gonna be the easiest thing to do but you just have to try and bow it of. Never let anything get to you. Don't let people tell someone about you or rumors about you. You have to tell people your self. Half the stuff that people say about you or hear is made up. If you let people agree with what they hear they will never really know how you are. Dont let yourself be the person who hides behind a wall, away from everyone and everything.
I believe this means you shouldn't let people judge you as a person. You are who you are, and you should be proud of that. If everyone were to scrutinize every little flaw about each other, who would that really be impressing? No one. Not being perfect can be a good thing, you won't let anything slow you down. On the other hand if you were trying to be a crow pleaser, trying to make everyone else happy, you won't please the person that matters most, which is yourself. I'd rather look at myself and be content than standing in front of a crowd pleasing them, and not being me. Don't let other people limit yourself, step out of line every once in a while. Perceptions can either be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on how you interpret it. I think that everyone should make the most of themselves, then trying to be something their not based on other's people views. Occasionally, first impressions are known to be inaccurate. There's always more to people then what meets the eye, but since people judge at first glance they miss out on the real person.

Since man could have clear and concise thoughts, he has always had a perception of things. most of the time, when i hear the word perception, i think its bad, in the fact that someone has a weird perception of me. which may have a cause to my depression. but to let others judge you on that, should not be acceptable to you. i know it happens to me, and i have seen it happen to other people. Even i have made misconceptions of people, and who they are. but if you let others control the way you look at yourself, and how others look at you; you won't ever live your life. that is why i dont let others affect me, although they may have misconceptions of me. something i thought of, which i will leave off, is a quote that i thought of.

This means to me, that people are always going to think less of you. No one is ever going to know your true ability but you. If you care what people think of you then it aloows them to define your limits. It lets them control you and see what they want to see. If you do let people define you, you can never reach full potential. People may percieve you as one way but it is never truly who you are. If you let them just to think this is who you are then they are always going to think less of you. Perceptions, and how people think of you are yours to make and no one else's.
I think this quote means dont let peoples reactions change you for who you are or what you do. even though we talk about these kinds of things we still let these things happen. We still let people change us for the worset. No matter what we may say about not letting people lit them change us, it still happens and changes us. We may thing no one will ever chang us but it still happens like i said. We can not, no matter what lit people change us for the worst. this is what leads to bad things. in some cases it can lead to hurting themselfs to maby even posably suicide.
I believe this quote means that we should not let others control our decisions. If you worry about what others think and tell you to do then you will never make good decisions for yourself. By listening to other people you allow them to control your life. You may end up nowhere and you may also regret those decisions for the rest of your life. It is important to make your own decisions. Be a leader not a follower. Trust your self to make good decisions.

I think this quote is about transcendetalism in a way. When you are an individual and express your beliefs then you shouldn't really be afraid of what people think of you and how they think you should be treated. A lot of people make unfair judgements about people, some true and some untrue. What this quote is saying is that we shouldn't start to believe all of other people's perceptions and should live by our own experiences. When we just do what others think we should do then we are not living our lives according to us and usually aren't being the greatest that we can be. A lot of people judge without really knowing a whole lot and that can be hurtful. People can look at someone and say oh she's fat, don't talk to her and then whoever is being insulted can start to believe that. This quote is encouraging people to be confident and accepting of who they are and make their own choices.
This quote means so much to me. Ever since i entered high school and started playig basketball people have told me to give up because they said i would never be as good as my brother. This quote means to ignore the others who say you won't succeed. Don't let the people who say you won't achieve define what you are capable of. No one can tell you how good you will do at something the only factors that effect that is how you take their cmments. I for one ignore all the negativity and i never let people tell me that im going to do the minimum. You shouldn't care what people say unless it can be helpful towards your goal or life.

This quote means, I think, we should not always just easily believe what other people talk about us. People in a society live comparing and judging each other. People, and, take a lot of influence from their reputation and judgment by others. However people's viewpoint is located outside the person who is being seen. Sight from outside, besides, cannot see what's inside unless you try to open it. Since we get to know that what and how people talk about us may not be truth, we should be rational at finding the real truth of ourselves.
Sorry for the lateness Mr. Kay...it was my sisters bday yesterday and I truly forgot.
This quote means that we cannot let other people decide who we are. In other words, other people have a limited perception becasue they only see a certain side of us. Whether its at school ,or at home, or in public, no one sees the who picture. No one knows the true you. The second part of this quote says that we cannot let these opinions people form about us decide who we are. We have to decide for ourselves who we want to be in this world. Your actions are what make you who you are, and they shouldn't influenced by other people.
Mr.Kay,
we all have diffrent ways of preceving things and people. Usually when we see a person acting a certain way we take them to be like that. But thats not always the case. I think thats what the quote is trying to say. I think this quote is basically saying dont let people think they really know who you are. For example if your a rude person at school and to everybody, when people take about you they whould say," oh, their rude thats all he/she dosnt car about anything." And the truth may be that you care about everything your just affraid to show it.

I think that this meens that you shouldnt care what other people think about you. It really doesnt matter what other people think of you just be your self. If you worry about what other peole think and let it bother you then it can hold you back. You wont do eveything you want to do
in life. Youl be to afraid of what other people think and wont do what you want to do youl do what every one else wants you to do. The people who judge you just dont know what you are like. They judge you before ythey get time to hang out with you adn het to know how you really are.
