I think that this quote is a very good quote because it is true that if you live for a long time next to great minds you will be smart. Then you will also make the beast out of living long because you will have people that will teach you all what they know and that is good because you will know many things that you did not know or that you will have ever learn by your self.
ReplyDeleteWho ever is around you is what makes you, you. You have to have good friends and be significant because only then you can achieve. The people around you make you smarter or lazier. Only by working hard and having dedication will you achieve. You will learn all kinds of things from others and you must achieve.

this quote is true because we live in a time with great minds and thats good. If we didn't live in a time with great minds then we wouldn't be able to look up to anybody and i think thats sad.
ReplyDeleteI THINK THIS IS SO TRUE.
ReplyDeleteYOU WILL PROBABLY LEARN MORE IF A GREAT MIND WAS STILL LIVE OR LIVED CLOSE TO YOUR PERIOD OF TIME.. BECAUSE YOU WILL BE INFORMED,
AND YOU ARE ALWAYS CAPABLE OF LEARNING AND BEING SUCCESSFUL.

I THINK WHAT THIS QUOTE IS TRYING TO SAY IS THAT IF YOU LIVE LONGER YOU WILL LEARN MORE THINGS. YOU WILL BE SMARTER. ALSO YOU WILL BE LIKE A TEACHER AND TEACH OTHER PEOPLE WHAT YOU KNOW. YOU COULD ALSO LEARN THINGS THAT YOU NEVER LEARN BEFORE OR THINGS YOU DIDNT HEARD BEFORE.

ReplyDeleteI guess what this statement is trying to tell me is that people with great minds. Will be an Academic Champion in no time, if you keep choosing the right and respecting everyone that comes to mind.

I think this quote is good. This is all true because if there was no great minds we would all be dumb. Associating with great minds makes you smarter and you learn more. Associating expands your mind. CHOOSE THE RIGHT.!!
ReplyDeleteI think that this quote doesn't necessarily suggest that you literally spend time with people of great intellect. Some of the greatest are no longer living, but that doesn't mean you can learn from them. There are books in libraries and articles all over the internet that allow you access to all the knowledge you might want or need. Your teachers also provide you with much knowledge. Don't take the education you are being given for granted. Take advantage of every moment and learn as much as you can.

that's true. with a great mind, you can do anything. with that great mind you could have a successful life by choosing the right. when you do that your life would be pure. but if you use it for something bad, then your life will go down the drain. so do any the bad stuff, just Choose the right and you will get to the life you want to be.

I think that this quote is true. It might be easier to have great mind if a person with intelligence live in our time.

What I think about this is that it is true. What I also think about this is that this is saying if you associate with great minds you will be getting lots of knowledge from all the great minds. That is what I think this is trying say.

When you are among great minds, you learn a lot. Your vocabulary changes dramatically. Your attitude changes. The more you hang out, the more you start to be more like them. Some times these people will guide you in the right path, and help you choose the right.

I think that this quote is a very good and true statement. The reason why I think that its a good quote is because its very intelligent. What I think that this quote is trying to say is that if you hang around with smart and intelligent people, you will also be smart and intelligent just like them. If you hang around with people that are intelligent, good things will come out. But if you hang around with people that are not that clever, bad things will probably come.

When you are around with different people you learn from them. And you keep learning more and more. And the people around you do help you with your learning.

When you are among different people that all know different things we learn a lot from them. I think if your around well minded smart people you will be the same, but if your around lazy people that never do anything you will turn out the same.
