“The secret of
getting ahead is getting started.”—Mark Twain
Mark Twain was an American author and humorist, he wrote the
famous books known as “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” and its sequel, “The Adventures
of Huckleberry Finn.” Since reading Huckleberry Finn last year in school, I
have become a huge fan of Twain, slowly gaining interests for his famous books.
If there is one quote I love from Twain that he had said was “The secret of
getting ahead is getting started.” To me this quote is telling people if you
want to get ahead of a certain task in life you have to start somewhere. Sitting down isn't going to get you anywhere,
you have to work hard and even if you take your time to get the job done, you
will succeed.
“You’ll miss the best
things if you keep your eye shut”—Dr.Seuss
Doctor Seuss was an American writer, poet, and cartoonist, he was known mostly for his children books around the world. This quote came from his famous book “I can read with my eyes shut.” To me this quote has a significant meaning in the way of Seuss trying to tell his readers to open their eyes and look at the world around them. If you keep your eyes closed you’ll never see the positive things around you in life. Ignoring the negativity in life will cause you to be happier, enjoying life to the fullest. The best things in life happen when your friends and family are around, seeing them happy causes you to be happy. As Seuss is trying to say is if you block all the bad from the good in life, there will always be good things in your life but if you keep your eyes closed you’ll never be able to witness the best things in life.
“All
our dreams can come true, if we have courage to pursue them”—Walt Disney
Disney was an
American business magnate, cartoonist, filmmaker, and voice actor. Disney was the one who created the Walt Disney
Company, which was created to tell children around the world that dreams can
come true. Also all the movies created by the company help children be able to
live the magic of the movies. I personally was a huge fan of Disney movies
growing up. In my opinion the quote above said by Disney means everybody has
dreams and there may be times when we may feel the dreams are never going to
happen. If we really want it to happen we need to pursue our dreams and believe
in our self to help make these dreams come true by thinking positively. Having the
incentive to try and explore new things.
