I love this quote because i truly live by it. I strongly think that life is what you make of it, if you wanna be sad thats a self choice you make. Life is too short to be living sad or with regrets. It is important to me to have a good/positive mindset and out look on life. Life is what you make of it, no one else can help you best but yourself. Happy thoughts make a happy world.

I live by this quote. With the constant pressure of society, stress and other irrational thoughts seem to always be floating in my mind. Being a straight A student and simultaneously excelling in all my sports, my parents, teachers, and coaches expect a lot from me. I work hard, but sometimes the stress gets to me. There have been instances in my life that have made me feel the lowest I have ever felt. Feeling this way had left me feeling discouraged until I came across this quote. Repeating this quote when I feel stressed or when I'm insecure has helped me keep a positive mindset despite even when people would put me down.]]> 2016-07-08 09:00:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jpags/FirstDay/wish/116104980 https://padlet.com/jpags/FirstDay/wish/116128695 "I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want."- Muhammad Ali
This quote made me realize that anywhere we go someone is going to want to make you different. Either because they simply want to, or just because they feel better and more worthwhile than you. To me, this quote explains how only the individual itself knows where they stand. Knows where they want to go, and knows who they are. I know what my future holds, and where I as a person want to be.

This quote represents two main philosophies I subscribe to: First of all, today's schooling system is suited only for a small amount of students and doesn't provide the tools for other students to learn what they want and to be successful in what they do. Second of all, it shows how I believe it is very important to keep learning new things outside of school, despite if the current schooling system classifies you as "dumb."]]> 2016-07-08 21:49:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jpags/FirstDay/wish/116130083 https://padlet.com/jpags/FirstDay/wish/116135435 "The best way to predict the future is to create it."

I've seen my family struggle through it all to come to where we are today and I'm more than thankful. This being said, nothing that will benefit you in the future or make you successful will ever come easy or come without sleepless nights. This has become my biggest motivator to do well in school, work and everything in between because I believe no matter how much you think nobody is watching you, their eyes will always be on you and hard work will always pay off.

When I heard 50 cent quote this from his book The 50th Law it reminded me of what my mom would tell me to keep a good attitude in bad times, because it is that attitude that will bring you out of that bad time.]]> 2016-07-11 04:34:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jpags/FirstDay/wish/116185079 ernestoharo28 https://padlet.com/jpags/FirstDay/wish/116185542 "The secret of getting ahead is getting started." - Mark Twain

I tend to procrastinate a lot when I try to accomplish any task, but this quote reminds me that I must start working if I ever want to finish. This quote motivates me to accomplish my work and it pushes me to reach my goals.]]> 2016-07-11 04:45:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jpags/FirstDay/wish/116185542 olivasjanet https://padlet.com/jpags/FirstDay/wish/116485379 "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." -Thomas Edison 
It's up to you to keep on going until you reach that success, until you reach that goal. If you put your mind to it you can make it. Don't let other hold you back from what you are going for.]]> 2016-07-16 00:20:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jpags/FirstDay/wish/116485379 https://padlet.com/jpags/FirstDay/wish/116954374 "Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn." 
In life you will come across obstacles and although we wish to always win and come out on top, thats not the way life works. Youre not always going to be the smartest, fastest, or good at everything. YOU WILL FAIL, but that is okay! It's okay to be wrong sometimes. When things go wrong take it as a lesson. Learn how to be better, do better! ]]> 2016-07-25 23:20:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jpags/FirstDay/wish/116954374
