He loves to learn new things everyday and do his best to teach others how to live their lives to the fullest. He encourages me to help people if I see them struggling and to have a positive effect on the individuals around me. For me, this quote is very prevalent in today's world. People who are imperfect or have struggles in their lives are often cast away because others do not want to get "dragged in" to their problems. We need to build others up when we see them down and make them feel needed and loved. If everyone had this mentality, society would be a lot different in that they want to support people that are struggling.]]> 2017-10-12 11:54:47 UTC https://padlet.com/19carothersk/68e7eewvjypq/wish/196364222 19carothersk https://padlet.com/19carothersk/68e7eewvjypq/wish/196367862 2017-10-12 12:06:02 UTC https://padlet.com/19carothersk/68e7eewvjypq/wish/196367862 19darchicourtm https://padlet.com/19carothersk/68e7eewvjypq/wish/196774811 It is very cool that this quote is said by an everyday person. Sometimes, when you read quotes by celebrities about helping people you think that it is different for them because they have all of the resources to help a lot of people. However, we can all help people everyday just by being kind and lending a hand where it is needed in our community. Imperfections are what makes us unique and it is very important to be different than everyone else. ]]> 2017-10-13 12:29:56 UTC https://padlet.com/19carothersk/68e7eewvjypq/wish/196774811 19sparagesa https://padlet.com/19carothersk/68e7eewvjypq/wish/196774821 This is a good quote and its impressive that it was said by an everyday person who is close-by. I think it is very important that everyone does actually realize that people are far from perfect, and humans were born to make mistakes. I agree that as fellow humans we need to still stand by those who do have imperfections and love them for who they are.]]> 2017-10-13 12:29:59 UTC https://padlet.com/19carothersk/68e7eewvjypq/wish/196774821 alr2 https://padlet.com/19carothersk/68e7eewvjypq/wish/196774827 First of all, I love that you chose a quote by your father as the person who most inspires you. He sounds like a very wise man given what he says here. I couldn't agree more with your father. It is unfortunate that we often see imperfections and differences in each other as weaknesses, instead of seeing these as what truly makes each of us unique which contributes to our strengths as individuals. Life would be mundane and boring if we were all robots who did and thought the exact same things. Fortunately, we are each our own persons, and by helping each other embrace our individuality, the world can more open and accepting. ]]> 2017-10-13 12:30:00 UTC https://padlet.com/19carothersk/68e7eewvjypq/wish/196774827 https://padlet.com/19carothersk/68e7eewvjypq/wish/196774835 I think this is very relevant in today's society. Everyone seems to always be looking out for themselves instead of the entire community and world. I think the world would be a better place if everyone had this mindset. If you see someone struggling and asking for help you should help them. ]]> 2017-10-13 12:30:01 UTC https://padlet.com/19carothersk/68e7eewvjypq/wish/196774835 https://padlet.com/19carothersk/68e7eewvjypq/wish/196774843 I really like this quote and I think it's especially interesting because it was written by your dad. It's important to remember that not everyone is perfect and that despite people's imperfections, we should still support each other. You should feel like it's alright to make mistakes sometimes because everyone does.]]> 2017-10-13 12:30:03 UTC https://padlet.com/19carothersk/68e7eewvjypq/wish/196774843 paranger47101 https://padlet.com/19carothersk/68e7eewvjypq/wish/196774853 I feel like I need to remember what this quote is saying more often. I often strive for perfection in my life, whether it be in music, in academics, or in other activities. However, I always get deeply upset at myself whenever I don't achieve perfection. It's really hard for me to remember sometimes that everyone makes mistakes, especially when I'm probably not as used to it as I should be. My flaws make me who I am, and my mistakes are events that I have learned a lot from, but yet I'm still scared of failure. I think this quote reminds me that I can't be afraid of failure if I want to try new things and live a happy life, and that there will always be someone there to help me if I do fail.]]> 2017-10-13 12:30:04 UTC https://padlet.com/19carothersk/68e7eewvjypq/wish/196774853 19christmano https://padlet.com/19carothersk/68e7eewvjypq/wish/196774873 This quote is amazing because it reflects on the idea that we are all imperfect and should strive to help others. People are always trying to reach this unobtainable goal of perfection. Instead we should connect with one another and build each other up instead of tear each other down. ]]> 2017-10-13 12:30:09 UTC https://padlet.com/19carothersk/68e7eewvjypq/wish/196774873 https://padlet.com/19carothersk/68e7eewvjypq/wish/196774903 I think that this quote is really cool. I'm always trying to be as perfect as possible, which leads to a lot of stress. I also think that it is cool that your Dad wrote something like this. Normally when I am having issues with school/life stuff my Dad tries to help, but is nowhere near as inspiring. Finally, this quote is good to look at whenever we fail, or someone we know does. It is important to stick with friends, and others who care about you, thorough tough times in life. ]]> 2017-10-13 12:30:14 UTC https://padlet.com/19carothersk/68e7eewvjypq/wish/196774903 https://padlet.com/19carothersk/68e7eewvjypq/wish/196774906 This quote is really powerful because of who it came from. It shows that you don't need to be a famous celebrity or motivational speaker to say something profound and inspiring. I think that this quote is very important right now because so many of us are down from recent events, both across the country and close to home. We all need someone in our lives that we can trust to care for us in our time of need. Additionally, we as a society should do a better job at reaching out and helping others. ]]> 2017-10-13 12:30:15 UTC https://padlet.com/19carothersk/68e7eewvjypq/wish/196774906 https://padlet.com/19carothersk/68e7eewvjypq/wish/196774912 This is such a good quote! People often spend their whole lives on this quest for perfection, but it will never be achieved. One of humanity's greatest strengths is imperfection. Being able to help people in pain or in trouble is the most fulfilling thing a person can do. It is important to keep your morals with you throughout your life, to continue to strive towards good every single day, but never perfection. Making mistakes only leads to growth, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I think it's really cool that this quote is from your dad too. Family especially should encourage you in every stage of your life, and clearly this is something important to your father. ]]> 2017-10-13 12:30:16 UTC https://padlet.com/19carothersk/68e7eewvjypq/wish/196774912 19pittengers https://padlet.com/19carothersk/68e7eewvjypq/wish/196774943 This quote is extremely meaningful. People often will view their own differences as 'bad.' These people are sometimes labelled as "weird" and society rejects them to some extent. However, everyone has weird quirks; it is just a matter of how evident they are. Therefore, just because somebody is weird, you should not refrain from building a relationship with them. In fact, quirks can cause relationships to be made stronger.]]> 2017-10-13 12:30:22 UTC https://padlet.com/19carothersk/68e7eewvjypq/wish/196774943
