When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade and you---wait, rewind, what? Lemonade? Well that's boring. Ain't it? A while ago I watched a video of Steve Jobs give a speech to a graduating class at Stanford University and he said in his speech that "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." and according to Robert Frost's poem "The Road not Taken" being the norm is wasting time and is quite frankly, boring. So from this day, when life gives me lemons, I'm making apple juice. Or no, wait, stargirl juice ;)

ReplyDeleteTo not live another's life? To not live in the norm? Tell that to society, for she has taught us otherwise. Through a assembly line of "norms" and rules have been piece by piece fixed unto us. We are all living someone elses lives. Society's standard lives imprisoned by money, temptations, and evils. That said i believe that from the poem "I shall be telling this with a sigh" conveys his rather bitter regret that he has trod on the road less traveled by.

Deleteshould we not follow our own mind? why should we blindly follow others, when the truth is that those who succeed made paths of their own. society's standards may be impressed upon us but that does not mean we should accept it. Also in his poem he says that he"took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference" whether it be good or bad
DeleteHow dare you! I am the mighty Devil's advocate. Wait ... what are you... oh no please don't... don't kick me.... any where but CHINAAAAA
ReplyDeleteYou do realize that apple juice was created by some old school hippie 100000 years ago, so why not create star girl juice instead?
ReplyDeleteThat's because juice made out of a person is ,frankly, quite unappetizing.
Deletewell, let's just use it metaphorically :)
DeleteAlas! What is to happen to this sad, dilapidated, neglected website. I shudder to imagine....
