Don’t allow anybody to make you feel that you are nobody. Always feel that you count. Always feel you have worth, and always feel that your life has ultimate significance.” biavel199 https://padlet.com/biavel199/fy9in0kmt4oiazvb/wish/2470043020 2023-02-06 13:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/biavel199/fy9in0kmt4oiazvb/wish/2470043020 I think the speaker of this passage is saying: biavel199 https://padlet.com/biavel199/fy9in0kmt4oiazvb/wish/2470043021 Your priority in life should be to have self-confidence and love yourself.

This is important in my opinion because it's not telling you to be anything, but to just be yourself. Be your own somebody and know your worth.]]> 2023-02-06 13:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/biavel199/fy9in0kmt4oiazvb/wish/2470043027 It reminds me of ____________ because: biavel199 https://padlet.com/biavel199/fy9in0kmt4oiazvb/wish/2470043028 This quote reminds me of a coach because it has the same attitude that you'd get from a motivational speech from a coach.

But we must keep moving. We must keep going. If you can’t fly, run. If you can’t run, walk. If you can’t walk, crawl. But by all means keep on moving.” biavel199 https://padlet.com/biavel199/fy9in0kmt4oiazvb/wish/2470043033 2023-02-06 13:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/biavel199/fy9in0kmt4oiazvb/wish/2470043033 I think the speaker of this passage is saying: biavel199 https://padlet.com/biavel199/fy9in0kmt4oiazvb/wish/2470043034 All setbacks are merely setbacks. The speaker of this passage refers to idealized life as the “crystal stair,” a clear ascent toward success. Real life is hardly ever so convenient. However, it is important to keep moving forward — to see past those inconveniences and stay focused on the future. ]]> 2023-02-06 13:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/biavel199/fy9in0kmt4oiazvb/wish/2470043034 A Question I have about this passage is: biavel199 https://padlet.com/biavel199/fy9in0kmt4oiazvb/wish/2470043035 How can one accept failure in order to continue moving forward? How does failure play a part in the process of growth?]]> 2023-02-06 13:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/biavel199/fy9in0kmt4oiazvb/wish/2470043035 It makes me think, feel, wonder__________ because: biavel199 https://padlet.com/biavel199/fy9in0kmt4oiazvb/wish/2470043036 This quote makes me think about my old outlook on life and how it has changed. I used to share the mindset of, “you must not allow your failures to hold you back,” but now I disagree. I believe that it is important to be daunted by your mistakes sometimes. Allowing yourself to feel grief and anguish at your failures makes success all the more worthwhile.]]> 2023-02-06 13:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/biavel199/fy9in0kmt4oiazvb/wish/2470043036 I think the most important word/phrase is __________ because: biavel199 https://padlet.com/biavel199/fy9in0kmt4oiazvb/wish/2470043037 “But by all means keep on moving.” Be overcome with regret at the face of failure, but do not stay still. ]]> 2023-02-06 13:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/biavel199/fy9in0kmt4oiazvb/wish/2470043037 It reminds me of ____________ because: biavel199 https://padlet.com/biavel199/fy9in0kmt4oiazvb/wish/2470043038 This quote reminds me of something similar said by Martin Luther King, Jr. “If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” Both of these reinstate the same thing: “keep moving.”]]> 2023-02-06 13:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/biavel199/fy9in0kmt4oiazvb/wish/2470043038 A picture to convey the meaning of this passage: biavel199 https://padlet.com/biavel199/fy9in0kmt4oiazvb/wish/2470043039 2023-02-06 13:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/biavel199/fy9in0kmt4oiazvb/wish/2470043039 “If it falls to your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures. Sweep streets like Beethoven composed music. Sweep streets like Leontyne Price sings before the Metropolitan Opera. And sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of Heaven and Earth will have to pause and say, ‘Here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well.’” biavel199 https://padlet.com/biavel199/fy9in0kmt4oiazvb/wish/2470043040 2023-02-06 13:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/biavel199/fy9in0kmt4oiazvb/wish/2470043040 I think the speaker of this passage is saying: biavel199 https://padlet.com/biavel199/fy9in0kmt4oiazvb/wish/2470043042 I think the speaker is saying, even if you have a not so high profile job, take pride in it, and do the best you can. Become the best at your job, and the let it stop you from doing something meaningful in life. Be the best at what you do, even if it's just sweeping. ]]> 2023-02-06 13:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/biavel199/fy9in0kmt4oiazvb/wish/2470043042 A Question I have about this passage is: biavel199 https://padlet.com/biavel199/fy9in0kmt4oiazvb/wish/2470043043 How does one become the best at sweeping?

But be the best scrub on the side of the hill. Be a bush if you can’t be a tree. If you can’t be a highway, just be a trail. If you can’t be the sun, be a star. For it isn’t by size that you win or you fail.

I have to keep seeking for opportunities, and find something that is right for me. I can't give up on my first try, there's always something waiting to receive you. Life is not easy, and it is not going to give you what you want so easy. You have to try to be the best you can, even if you didn't get what you expected you tried your best and it is going to help you accomplish something else. ]]> 2023-02-06 13:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/biavel199/fy9in0kmt4oiazvb/wish/2470043051 I think the most important word/phrase is __________ because: biavel199 https://padlet.com/biavel199/fy9in0kmt4oiazvb/wish/2470043052 I think the best phrase is “Be the best of whatever you are.” You can do anything aslong as you give your best self.

I think that if I try something I'm instantly going to fail, or that if I do I'm not going ti be able to make it again. I have to learn how to be more positive and self confident.
