Henry David Thoreau

  1. I'm really liking the quote. Take notice that when you feel confident, you also feel happy, talkative, all those happy feelings. But when your down in the dumps, not only are you bring yourself down, but your also dragging everyone else around you. Whatever choices you make, make sure you feel good while doing them.

  3. Always choose the right and go down the right direction and you will have great success. Always try and try again, never give up on something that you really want. Once you give up you become a quitter and you will get accustomed to quitting in everything in life. You will not become and Academic Champion. If you keep on trying over and over again you will be better at everything you do. and always be an Academic Champion.

  4. I agree with this because in order to achieve your goals and dreams you have to stay in the path of righteousness. You need to learn to stay focussed and not let anything bring you down. I agree there is nothing negative out of any experience life gives you. Because it is always feedback on what to do next time. An dhow to improve or do it better. Life is never simple. We just have to choose to continue practicing life.

  5. i guess this is saying that if you choose to do well in a direction that you want that you'll have that. also, it can happened unexpectedly.
    that, when you go in one direction it can lead to better things in life.

  7. Never give up; that's what Thoreau is basically saying. Set a goal for yourself and follow it, regardless of what others say. No can stop you, and the more you follow your goals and dreams, the more success you meet instead of failure. Don't stray from the path of your dreams.

  8. to follow your biggest dream, you have to stay on the good & right road to success. To be a successful person you have to always choose the right. Choosing the right is choosing the right road to your dreams, your success your future. Everything you do depends on which road you take. The right road or the wrong road. You don't wanna take the wrong road & then everything you've done just throw it away.
    So CHOOSE THE RIGHT PEOPLE":D

  10. i like the picture and what it has to say, i think that whatever your dream or goal in life is you should follow it.
    of course doing it the right way.
    like for example one of my goals is to graduate from high-school, but i have to do it the right way by studying and doing all my work.
    not by copying peoples work and cheating all the time.
    and receiving a diploma that i know i do not deserve.

  14. i agree with these quotes we all need to stay on the right path in order to reach our goals. we have to know what path we want to take and not allow others to decide for us. by doing so we can reach any goal and pass any problem that gets in our way. we can become successful if we just focus on what we want.

  16. when pursuing your dream you need to be focused at all times.
    you have to choose wisely and not give up. follow what you have to do in order to get there.
    i liked the slide show from Vadim, because its giving you good advice and all it is;is eight simple winning habits. my favorite one was "never give up". dont give up because your just going to throw away your dream if you do.
    its just the constant thought of choosing the right, the right thing to do.

  17. I think that when you start making positive habits they lead you to a better direction of your dreams and you overcome things you thought you couldn't overcome . You have to seek opportunities that are there in front of you to achieve and get closer to your goal.

  19. To follow your dreams means that you want something in life and it is that specific dream. You should pursue this dream at all times. Don't give up on yourself, do what's right and pursue your dream. The road you take is the one whom determines it all. Stay on the right road. don't doze of to another road, that is choosing the wrong. How are you going to succeed if all you do is doze off and not pursue your dream 24/7 365 days a year. Find the way to succeed. Achieve your goals and live them as you would like or how it was that you imagined them. CHOOSE THE RIGHT ------>>>>>>

  20. The quote is good because if you don't follow your dreams, you won't be happy. But It's not just following your dreams its pursuing them with confidence that you will achieve them, that helps you finally reach them. If you pursue your dreams with confidence you will achieve them twice as fast as someone who does it with no confidence. People who follow there dreams with no confidence sometimes don't reach their goals.

  22. What I think this quote is trying to say is that if you have a clear idea of what your goals are and what you want to accomplish then you will accomplish you goals. It is much easier to accomplish your goals if you know exactly what they are and how will you pursue them. Always stay positive and confident about your goals and you will succeed eventually.

  23. If a person sets a goal for him or her self, then they are bound to reach the goal they have set for themselves. If a person sets a goal themselves, its because they know what they are facing and know what lies ahead of them to get through the obstacles of the goal and reach it.
    If a person cant set his/her own goal then they don't know what lies ahead, the trail/ image is blurry or harder to reach because it isn't there own interest, a goal set not by you but another is the hardest goal to reach because you will have to gain information about this goal you will be challenged by this goal because it involves obstacles that are no where near your goal or best interest, obstacles you never prepared for.
    For example school, many people don't like going to school or don't like doing work from school, therefore it's hard for those people to pass and get through school. For those who want to graduate go to college or make something of yourself they put the effort into the goal that is theirs and will get through school.
    Me for example, in the beginning i didn't like school i didn't care, now i see to make it somewhere in life you have to get a diploma to at least have a chance at it, and to really be successful you can continue your goal through College. I intend to make it through high school and go to college because i want my shot at success.
    I have my goal set and i tend to reach it!

  24. what i think this quote is trying to say is for you to keep persisting. never give up. you have to keep trying and trying and success will come to you when you least expect it. you have to work hard for the things you want, you need to earn them. things wont come to you that easy just because you want it. you have to keep persisting and work hard to succeed.

  26. WHAT THIS POST IS TEELING ME IS THAT WHENEVER YOU SET A GOAL, FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU WANT TO BE A WEALTHY PERSON. YOU WILL HAVE TO GET THROUGH SCHOOL WICH INVolve MANY YEARS OF SCHOOL. MAY PEOPLE WPULD SKIP THE THE SCHOOL AND JUST KILL THEMSELVES WORKING FOR MATERIALISTIC STUFF. THEY FALL IN LOVE WITH MONEY AND SET THEIR MND TO WINNING IT ALL THE TIME. SOMETIMES THEIR AMBITION BECOMES SO BIG THE WRONG PATHS WICH INVOLVE ILLEGAL SUBSTANSES ILLEGAL TRAFFECTING. PEOPLE ITS BETTER TO WIN JUST WHAT IS NECESSARY AND HAE MUCH MORE OF FAMILY BECAUSE FAMILY IS REALLY IMPORTANT:)

  31. I like todays post, the slideshow was inspiring. I loved the 3rd winning habit, 'Remember there is no failure, only feedback.' We must use our feedback to strive and work harder to reach our goals. We must never give up, try and try again to reach our goals, this will only make us stronger. Looking for opportunities and using them is a great way to reach your goal. CTR

  32. When ever you go through the right path, success will come at any given time. In order for you to be/do good in many of the things that you want to achieve in, you have to do the right things in life. The slideshow had some really inspiring thoughts. I like the last one the most, "Never give up". Even though you'll go through some difficult obstacles you should never give up on anything that you have in mind to achieve.

  33. I think the quote “If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours.” is a very good quote because I think it is really true. If someone sets their mind to do something, and they accomplish it then they are on the road to success because they are accomplishing their dreams. Always stay on the right road by choosing the right!!

  36. This quote means that everybody sets goals for themselves, but in order to achieve your goals you have to stay on the right road or track, by working hard at it and never giving up. SO you should always stick on the path of your dream because sooner or later it will come true. Also if you choose to stay in the path of your dream and live as you wanted to, you will meet the success that you wanted. JUst always never give up on your dreams and always CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!!.......

  37. This quote is very good. Don't follow someone else's goals because they are not the goals you have in mind. Follow your own dreams. If you have confident in yourself that you can accomplish a goal, then you can. You can accomplish goals by never giving up, work hard to reach it, etc. Strive yourself a little closer to your goal. Believe in yourself. CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

  38. You have to set a goal for yourself and work on it a little everyday to achieve that goal. Make is something big, a dream of yours and if you stay on the right path and you always choose the right you are surely going to reach that goal. Remember that things like this don't happen over night and you have to be patient and be able to keep cool at all times so that you always make the correct decision.

  40. This quote makes me think of the life that we live. We only live once. We should make the best of it and just live life. Live the way we want to live, but to do that, we must make goals and WANT to make something of yourself. If we just live life with nothing in mind just going with the flow, anything could happen, for the good or bad. Why risk it? Just pick a life style and do it.

  46. The thing that this blog is telling you is that there will never be no failure unless you give up but you don't want to do that because you never now how far you might go if you keep trying n you don't give up on your goals. Many people let their goals on hold for the reason that they don't believe in their self don't be that person believe in yourself and you'll get so far that you will believe in your self , but not only because you accomplished somethings that you wanted to accomplish.

  47. I think setting a goal is very important. With out goals you don't have a direction in life. With out direction in your life you are lost. Being lost is a hard situation to go through. So you have to develop winning habits in order to win.
