See you soon!

Hello, readers! Thank you so much for reading this blog. I just really want to let you know I appreciate it!

Anyway, I am going to be in an area without internet services for the next month or so, so I won't be able to do any posts. I might try to get caught up when I return, but it might take a while.

For the next day, I may have limited internet access. But after that, I won't even have access to a computer or phone. This means there might be a post tomorrow, but if there isn't, I am really sorry.

Good bye for now and have a great summer!

Quote of the day

"Don't expect anything original from an echo."

-Quoted in "The 365 Great Quotes-a-Year Calendar"

Taking other people's ideas is wrong. Besides, if you take someone else's idea and make it into your own, people won't like it as much because it isn't original at all. No original ideas can come by repeating other ideas. Use your imagination and create unique ideas of your own. People like these best, anyway. So don't expect anything original from an echo!

Daily Quote

"You don't get harmony when everybody sings the same note."

-Doug Floyd

in Spokesman Review 

(Spokane, Washington)

Being different is ok! Actually, being yourself is the best thing you can be, and you are the only you on earth. That makes you different. Besides, when everyone is themselves, there is a harmony of different people and different talents. But if everyone was the same, nothing important would happen. Think about it- if we were all the same person, there wouldn't be anyone to invent the things we have today, there wouldn't be anyone to make our favorite websites on the computer, and no one to teach us things we don't already know. Being ourselves is important. Let your true colors shine!

Daily Quote

"We here today are so overprivileged it hurts. If we don’t take advantage of the opportunity we have been given, we are true fools — and callous ones at that. Life is a gift. It’s so easy to matter, to make a difference. It’s even easier not to do either. But then we have failed ourselves and this institution.”

-Terrence McNally

Many in this earth are very overprivileged. It can sometimes hurt because sometimes we fail to realize it. We don't take advantage of the opportunity or opportunities given. Life really is a gift, it actually is easy to matter and make a difference. You just have to stand up and do it. You have to dream up an idea, put it into action, and even then you just accomplished both. It is even easier to just do neither, but of course, your parents will always think you matter. But to the rest of the world- you are on your own to do what you need to do to make a difference and matter. Think of Ghandi, Mother Teresa, and many many more- they all put ideas into actions- passions into actions- look how far it got them! They actually matter to many many people around the world, they have made a huge difference. I guess what I am trying to say is you really can't just sit on the couch and wait for yourself to become known for a difference. Good things take hard work, so good luck!

Quote of the day

"The best thing about growing older is that it takes such a long time."

-Walters Kemp

I mainly think that, other than this being humorous, this quote is trying to say that yes, we do age. But we do it slowly. I mean, 60 seconds to a minute, 60 minutes to an hour, 24 hours to a day, 365 days to a year, and many many years on ourselves, we have a ton of time to do what we have always wanted to do. Don't just sit around and act as if there is no time to do anything because you are already aging or old. There is still time! A lot if it, at that! Of course, always live each day as if it is your last, but also do what you want to do knowing there is still time. That is the best part about aging, right? It takes a long time! Go out now and do what you want to do! The world is calling you!

Quote of the day

"You have to dream before your dreams can come true."

-Abdul Kalam

Don't just expect the world to change when you wake up. To make a difference, we have to follow someone's dreams. To do that, we have to actually dream. Nothing can happen without an idea that is pursued. Just think of Martin Luther King, Jr. "I have a dream" is something he expressed in one of his speeches. And look what happened! Now, colored people are respected just like anyone else! Think of all of the amazing things that have come out of dreams. And where would we be if someone didn't dream them up? You really do have to dream before your dreams can come true.

Daily Quote

"Happiness depends on ourselves."

-Aristotle

 We can't just be happy. Something has to happen to make it so we are happy. This depends on our own actions- when we either do something that makes us happy, or when something we did in the past just now has effects that are making you happy. Don't search for happiness, when you can make it yourself!

Daily Quote

"Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time we fail."

-Confucius

Never failing means we will never learn from our mistakes, therefore we won't learn any life skills. Never failing is not our greatest glory. But being able to rise back up and keep going strong after failing, now that is true success. Rising up again proves your strength and it also prepares you for the future. Once a mistake is made, you know better how to fix it next time.

Quote of the day

"A person's a person, no matter how small."

-Dr. Seuss

We shouldn't judge people based on their appearance. Everyone is the same inside. Sometimes, we just need to accept that. Don't make fun of people just because they don't have something you have, and don't make fun of them if they are too short or too tall. Sometimes, these things are uncontrollable. If you were like that, would you want to be made fun of? No. So don't make fun of the people who are like that.

Quote of the day

"Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time."

-Jim Rohn

Once time goes by, it is gone forever. Do what you have always wanted to do before it is too late now! Many think money is the most valuable thing there is. But it is not true- family, friends, and people in general are way more valuable. Time is also incredibly valuable, but in a different way. It is irreplaceable. Spend your time wisely, because it is time you will never get back. Make sure that not getting it back is what you want. Remember- you can always get more money, but you can never get back lost time.

Daily Quote

"Wisdom begins in wonder."

-Socrates

When you wonder things, curiosity takes over. Most of the time, that curiosity will make you explore, and the only way to gain knowledge is to reach outside of your comfort zone. The more you wonder, the more wisdom you will gain. 

Daily Quote

"Do you really want to be happy? You can begin by being appreciative of who you are and what you've got."

-Benjamin Hoff

Many people always want what they don't have. Then, once they get it, they are not satisfied. Instead, they just want more. They don't even stop to realize what they do have. They just want want want. Look around at all that you have. Be appreciative, because there are people who don't have as much. These are the people that we should all strive to help in life. Service is a wonderful thing.

Quote of the day

"One day you will wake up and there won't ve any more time to do the things you've always wanted. Do it now."

-Paulo Coelho

You won't live forever, so do all of the things you might not be able to do later now while you are still able to. Do it today, even! It is the best way to ensure yourself that you won't die as if there is something you forgot to do.

Quote of the day

"You don't get to choose how you're going to die.

Or when.

But you can decide how you're going to live now."

-Joan Baez

You don't get to choose many things in life, including how you are going to die and when. But you can decide how to live now, so live your life the best that you can possibly live it. Live each day as if it is your last, because for all you know, it might be. 

Daily Quote

"Although time seems to fly by, it never travels faster than one day at a time. Each day is a new opportunity to live your life to the fullest."
-Steve Maraboli

Time seems to go by so fast, but it really isn't going any faster than 60 seconds to a minute, 60 minutes to an hour, 24 hours to a day... Every single day in our lives is a new chance to start fresh and live our lives the best we possibly can.

Daily Quote

"Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going."

-Jim Rohn

When you get motivated, you can do great things. But you have to be willing to keep it up until it is made habit, because then, success is so much more likely. Just be sure, though, that your habits are good ones that will help you at whatever it is that you are doing. Never give up, follow your dreams!

Quote of the day

"Fear is not your enemy. It is a compass pointing you to the areas where you need to grow."

-Steve Pavlina

Fear is a guideline to show where you need to most improvement. Once you know where you are the weakest, you will have a better idea of how to improve and grow.

Quote of the day

"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world."

-Harriet Tubman 

Deep down inside, everyone has patience, love, kindness, strength, passion, and more. What we all need to do is reach down really deep inside of ourselves and pull out these qualities. Then we need to put them to use to make the world a better place. All it takes is a dreamer and a good dream!

Daily Quote

"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader."

-John Quincy Adams

Inspiring others to do their best is really important. If you can aid others to help them spread their wings, they can fly forever. If you inspire them to dream more, the world can be changed for the better. If they learn and do more, then there will be so many less helpless people. If they can become more, then they too can inspire others to help heal the world. That is true leadership.
