Mary Pickford

“If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down.”

-Mary Pickford

 

 

I think this a great quote and says the right things. I agree with the part about faliure because that is what happens to alot of people. We dont see that the real mistake we've made is the not-picking-yourself-up-part. And i think at any part in time you can start over fresh, because you want to. And even if you make mistakes you can always start over and fix your choices.  

Steve Jobs

"If you want to live your life in a creative way, as an artist, you have to not look back too much. You have to be willing to take whatever you've done and whoever you were and throw them away."

- Steve Jobs

 

Steve Jobs looks weird with long hair. Anyways, i dont really know what you have to do if your an artist, because im not an artist. As for the second part of the quote, who you WERE makes you who you ARE today, so i dont see why you would want to throw that away. it doesnt really make sense to me. Because if you throw them away and forget who you were then youll repeat the same mistakes and become who you were, who you threw away!

-Robert Louis Stevenson

To be idle requires a strong sense of personal identity.

-Robert Louis Stevenson

 

I sort of dont really understand this quote. Nevermind that was before Mr.Courtney explained it. This quote is true for the most part but i do think that there are times when we need to be quite and just not do anything. And i think that there are times when anyone can be idle. There are times when i am being idle just because i am being lazy. But the people who arent themselves, who are a big front, and who are fake, or always trying to impress somebody, then its super hard to be idle. They always have to be doing something so that they dont concentrate on themselves, who they reallyare on the inside.

-Confucius

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.

-Confucius.

 

I think that he could be true, now that i think about it because people automatically say that life is hard and not fair. But its true we do tend to complicate things, just becuase we need something to do and something to worry about.
