Childhood Fear

After listening to the story There's Something In My Attic it made me think of things that I was scared of as a kid. I used to be afraid of things or somebody hiding under my bed. I was also scared of something in my closet. But besides those i wasn't really afraid of that much except the dark after I saw or thought of something scary. I still remember times that I was so scared then that now I look back on and just laugh because it was so funny.

Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn. -- Elizabeth Lawrence

Autumn is a season of change. To me it means that things can start over. It's the time where its still warm from summer but it's getting cooler to because winters just around the corner. I loveeee autumn. Everything is so pretty and the leaves always change to 2 of my favorite colors, yellow and orange. I just love thanksgiving and halloween and theyre during falll. i like how on nights it gets cold and u can wear warm clothes and go outside and just chill.

Never be afraid to sit awhile and think.

This would be a very wise quote from Lorraine Hansberry's book A Raisin in the Sun. We just happen to be reading this play right now. Anyways, this quote I just absolutelty love, because i realize how important it is to just sit and think about things sometimes. Just thinking and doing nothing else can really help. It'll make you realize what you need from life. It can also help make problems easier, it can help you decide what you need to do to fix whatevers wrong with you. Its just relaxing and nice because you know it's just you there at a place in your mind where nobody else could even possibly know.

“Act quickly, think slowly.” Greek Proverb

I think that this is some very wise advice. People who act slowly and think slowly also probably dont have a good outcome, thinking slowly is a good thing it gives time to think through what you're going to do and what you want to do. If you wait too long to act though, it's not going to pay off because 99% of the time you've always missed your chance to make things better or fix things that have gone way more off track than what you originally planned. Then you have the other part of the people who act and think quickly. When people do this they dont realize what they're doing, they act quickly and dont think out their thoughts which most of the time causes it not turn out the way of what they really wanted.

Is it easier to fight with dignity or surrender with shame?

I think that it is easier to fight with dignity, than surrender with shame. If you fight it's going to make you stronger and feel better. Sometimes surrendering is easier but only if it's not going to make you ashamed with yourself, because that is one of the worst feelings anyone could have. Surrendering is bad if you have something you need to stand up for, something you want to fight for because it's important to you. Fighting with dignity and everything you feel will get you places in life.

Money!

Money - What does it mean to you? Is it important or not? How much is enough? How does the lack of it impact life? Does it make the world go round?

Money. Everybody needs money but everybody looks at the importance differently. Everybody also has different amounts of money and values it differently. To me, money is important right now, we have all of our money in a law suit that's been going on for a couple of years. It stresses my parents out so it is important to me, because it pays the bills and extra things we need. I do believe money won't make you happy though. Money can buy things but it's not as important as the people in your life. Lack of money is a problem most of the time, and if we didn't have it no, the world would not be going around as smoothly as if there was money. There would be no economy and therefore goods and services would be harder to get and things like that.

A family that laughs together stays together.

Laughter is one of the main things that unify us. Laughter is one of the most important things in my life. I am a huge fan of laughing so hard i cant breathe. There are so many things that make me laugh, inside jokes, family and friends. Just hearing my family and friends laugh about something or even somebody i dont really know laugh, always makes me laugh. So i guess that means laughing is contagious.

Do what you love, Love what you do, leave the world a better place, and dont pick your nose -- Jeff Mallett

Welll this an interesting quote. The first part, do what you love, love what you do is actually normal. I think this should be true in everyones life. The second part, leave the world a better place, is also a good thing. Its saying that everybody should leave the world different when its their time to go. Hopefuloly for the better, its saying everybody has the ability to change somehting and should take that oppurtunity every chance they get. The last part, dont pick your nose, is just a funny thing to add.

Home

Home. The most comfortable place to be, to almost everyone. No matter what I do, what happens or anything, I know i can always go back home. It means absolutely everything to me. I've also learned home isn't actually about my house I live in it's about the people who are there when i walk through the door.

Tenants of vitreous abodes, ought not hurl lithoidal fragments

In other words people who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

When a person is always finding the bad in other people that usually means one of two things or both. It either means that they have no self confidence or they are just plain mean. Although everyone is probably guilty of this, some people do it just too hurt feelings and that's when it begins to look bad. Me along with i do believe everyone else who's ever been around other people have been hurt by someones words. It could be friends, family, boyfriend/girlfriend or even strangers that hurt your feelings, but you just gotta get through it.
