Keep working on your project. Remember, research info due at end of hour tomorrow.
For this evening, choose from one of the following and relate it to what you think it means, your life and the world around you:
1. “Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
2. "A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” Christopher Reeve
3. "People's dreams are made out of what they do all day. The same way a dog that runs after rabbits will dream of rabbits. It's what you do that makes your soul, not the other way around.”

1. To me this quote means if everyone was always doing what makes them happy and being themselves the world would be a lot better place. By making yourself happy you can make others feel good too. So i think this is trying to redirect everyones focus from making the world a better place to starting with yourself and from there you can spread the love. I can relate this to my life because i know im doing at least one thing that makes me come alive which is volleyball. Being passionate about something makes me happy. So if everyone does something that makes feel good the world will probably be a lot better.
1. I think this quote means that by someone else being happy and you being happy, it can influence others. If your happy and others see you like this, they can see how good life can really be and see the good things instead of the bad. No matter what, you should always be happy because thats what you need to survive. No one wants to live a life where your always unhappy. So you always have to make it the best. The world would be such a better place if everyone was happy. We would never have any problems and everyone would just be in good situations. Happiness makes you come alive.
2. To me, this is what a hero is. They put aside their fears to go and meet a goal of theirs. Even if there is something that could get in the way, they always push through and don't give up when the going gets tough. I'm not saying that I'm necessarily a hero but I do push through my fears in order to accomplish something. For example, I had a lacrosse game the other night in which we played Brighton. Their team was ranked 3rd in the state and they were really good so I was scared. But for my team, I pushed through my fears and did the best I could every second I was in the game and it payed off. Even though we did not win, we lost 11-10 but to us that's an accomplishment not to get blown out again. There are heroes everyday out on the streets we just have to open our eyes and see it.
3. I think means that you will achieve your girls depending on how hard you work at them on a daily basis. I also think it means that you will dream of your success and it will become closer and closer to you depending on your daily events. I think people could relate to this quote as long as they work on their goals and dreams on a daily basis. Nothing is achieved unless worked on and kept in thoughts. This is why it is so important for people to keep their goals in their thoughts on a daily basis. If not kept in mind it probably wont be achieved at all or it will take a very long time for the goal to be acheived. In the world things were acheived by continually kept in thought. Like Martin Luther King he always kept his goals in thought. Finally after a lot of hard work he acheived them.
3.) I think this quote means that you are what you do. What you really are made of is what you do every day and live. This is what people are doing everyday to live up their dreams and make their lives as good as possible. This can relate to my life by living up my life to the fullest and not having any regrets.
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
I feel like this quote speaks about the fact that people who really go out and live their lives to the fullest are the people that we need more of in this world. When someone just sits back and watches everyone else live life, it like they're wasting valuable time they have on this earth. The world needs to be filled with go getters, or people who just do what they desire. If someone doesnt desire to do anything, i guess thats just them. I dont really know what I would do if i wasted all of my time... I think i would be very depressed. Some people just get stuck inside of a shell in their comefort zone, and that is okay. Sooner or later though they are going to have to break out of that shell and come to their own some day. All in all, this quite is very inspiring.
2. this quote means to me that if i find a strength in lie and do it that im a hero, that i do something show who and what i really am, which what most people wouldnt do. like mein mylifei stick up for the ones who cant stand for them selves im their cruch and i found that as my strength, and the strength is to be strong and intimidating to those who try an messwith the week or innoscent, like people who derive others of their characteristics suck as their well being and personal feelingstoward them selves and others. and that is my opinion opinion of this subject.
To me this quote means if everyone was always doing what makes them happy and being themselves the world would be a lot better place. If your happy and others see you like this, they can see how good life can really be and see the good things instead of the bad. o i think this is trying to redirect everyones focus from making the world a better place to starting with yourself and from there you can spread the love. No one wants to live a life where your always unhappy. I can relate this to my life because i know im doing at least one thing that makes me come alive which is being in the Marching Band. It's helps me get better, not only as a musician, but also in my social problems. Happiness makes you come alive.

I chose to do the first quote. I think this quote means the people need to worrry less about what and who they should be, and more about who they want to be. The world needs more indiviuality. This deffinstely applies to my life and many people in the world. By choosing to be who we want to be, we give the world diversity. We shouldnt have to worry abpout what the "world needs". Just be your own person.
1. i think this mean that you dont need to do what everone needs just what you need and that if you are your self becuase that's what you chose, then the workd soesnt need anything more. This relates to me because i dont make my choices by what people want me to do but what i want to do and then people can either except me for me and not for someone they want me to be. I think it also relates to the world around me because in school so many people are changing for other people to fit in or to be excepted. some people feel that who they are, isnt good enough, but it doesnt matter if we are good enough for anyone but ourselves and we should be who we are because how can we excpect people to be true to us if we arent true to them about who we are.
I am going to pick "People's dreams are made out of what they do all day. The same way a dog that runs after rabbits will dream of rabbits. It's what you do that makes your soul, not the other way around.” This is number 3, It means that people dream about what they do everyday. It also means to do what you want because you always can, expecially in your dreams. Dreams are unlimited and you can do what ever when ever. In my life it is the exact opposite. What ever I do or think about one day is almost never in my dreams. My goals are related to my life and what I do everyday. A ton of things are different for each person and their dreams and goals are changed.
1. This world needs people to wake up, and come alive. This world needs people to move it, to keep it rotating. If we can all do our part we can keep this world moving. Our society has become to lazy and materialistic lately. Not many people have much sense of urgency. If we sit around and ask ourselves how we can move it, were wasting our time we have to move it. If we just live our lives, have fun, and pitch in every here and there, it will move itself. Everything will all work itself out. Don't think, Move!
3~ I think this means to achieve your goals you have to live your life that way everyday. If you do not believe that it is going to happen then it probably will not. I have this friend, Sierra, and her and her sister want to be actresses and singers. One day they were holding casting calls. Sierra got a call back! She now has to go to Chicago to audition. :) Since she lived her day like she was going to make it she did. Even in her dreams she could see that the goal she wanted was not that far away. So if you live it, you dream it!
1. To me this means taking action and speaking out. Most americans if they see something will just pass it in the middle of the street not saying a word or just complain about it. To come alive in the world to me means taking action on something and not be a zombie like others that just leave it. For example me an a few friends make a wall in the hallway and leave a gap just big enough just for 1 person to get by. No one says a word they just complain and walk by. Dont ask us to move just complain. Sometimes we actually stop one side of the hallway.
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” I think that this quote means that instead of trying to help the world through doing exactly what your told, or exactly what you think your supposed to be doing you should go out and do what you think is fun. Through doing what you like and having fun it will help the world.
