“The difference between impossible and the possible lies in

                                  DETERMINATION.”

                                      Tommy Lasorda

Reflection:

       When a person is determined to do something that they really want to do, they actually do it, and chances are they might actually acheieve it. Nothing is impossible, because with God all things are possible. Your dreams will not be impossible to reach if you are determined to make they come true. Being determined means doing. Determination is the difference between the impossible and possible because things that are said to be impossible are things people are not determined to do. I fyou want to go to the bathroom it’s something you are determined in doing right? It’s not impossible because you have legs to walk to walk over to the bathroom, it is only impossible if you are determined to not use your legs and walk over there. How are you going to get there then. Now it is only impossible to not be able to succeed in your goals if you are not determined and get up and go work on making them successful.

“No student ever attains eminent success by simply doing what is required of him/her; it is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the required that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction.”

        

  Charles Kendall Adams, American Historian

Reflection:

As high school students some of us have big dreams. Some people may want to become a doctor or a vet or possibly a singer, whatever it is. We can try our whole lives doing what it is to reach that dream and make it come true but really you can’t just expect to do it and BOOM your dream comes true. It’s what’s after we do the required job that counts. For example the school requires us to wear uniform and suppose I do wear my uniform and act badly in school. I’m doing what is required but after all I’m still not doing well. We have to try our best to do everything great. We can’t expect to be well known if we just do what Is told we have to do it right. Singers, actors, dancers they are all required to do something but they have to do it right. An actor is required to repeat the line on the script for the movie but he has to do it right in order for the movie to be great in the end right? We all are greatness waiting to happen. We should start doing what we were made to do. We all have a purpose.

        “Action is the foundational key to all success”

                                    Pablo Picasso

Reflection: Action is honestly the only way we can succeed the things we want to do in life. If we take action to reach for what we want to do then it will come true. Success does not just come to us like our friends do everyday. We have to work hard for what we want to do. We have to work hard to make our dreams come true. We can’t just la around hoping. Hope is a good thing but it also takes faith, and faith is also an action. How do we expect to get better at things. Yea I know some people are born with natural talents but they have to keep working to keep that talent. Honestly if we do not take action we will not get anywhere in life. For example let’s say you are in the middle of a street and there was a car coming your way, what are you going to do? Stand there and let the car run you over or are you going to take action and move away? Action is what makes us successful. Not being lazy. Choose the right way in life and don’t except always do. Action is the key.

“Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare.

                                           Japanese Proverb

Reflection: We don’t really expect our dreams to come true just naturally, we have to put action. For example you can be dreaming about being in a soccer team and making a goal but if you just sit there at home not practicing and not trying it’s just a daydream. Daydreams are dreams you have that don’t really come true unless you make them. But then there is action without vision. If we don’t even dream about becoming the person we are then it is a nightmare. Let’s say for some reason you became a lawyer but back then your vision was to become a doctor. It’s a nightmare for you because the one thing you will most likely say is “I wish.” Us as people need to put our actions and dreams together. We can’t sit around and except things to come to us because then there would be no meaning in life. We have to work and that’s just the way life is. We also have to make our dream come true and become what we want. You also can’t just take action and let it become a mess. Our actions and our visions matter. They are both something that really help us in life. Don’t just sit around dreaming of becoming something. Make it happen. Don’t make action until you are doing what your vision wants.
