You know the saying, somebody's loss is another's gain
The sun comes out when the water goes down the drain
You know the saying, somebody's loss is another's gain
The sun comes out when the water goes down the drain
A rainbow, then the clouds come out we do it again
Everything evens up, you just wait--Even a garbage can gets a steak
Everything evens up, you just wait--Even a garbage can gets a steak

ReplyDelete“Keep your nose out the sky, keep your heart to god, and keep your face to the raising sun.”“I know a got angels watchin me from the other side” By Kanye West. The reason why I chose these two qoute because this is the deepist quote that mean alot to me by Kanye West. Each day I wake up these qoute runs through my mind. These quote affect me in life because you must always remain humble blessing will always come to you and you will always have some one watching you. Though all the ups and down there will always be that one person who you can run to when you or you know kneel down and pray about ur situation. This quote can make me view life in a much better way but at times i just feel like life it on my shoulder,everything I stress about and it not like one day i dont think negative. That why i rather have a quote or a say from my family or whoever that i can actually think or remember that my life is serious and i hae to take life serious. The reason why i go though so much is because of one person no comment but i rather go down the road knowing that there going to be battle out there that I will have to fight on my own. I rather keep my head up knoing that i believe in kanye west Quoute. I can say the when a person speak about the truth you can always keep that in mind because to yourself you can make a change or even better learn from it that what i would say. Many quote can have different meaning to it where many people can interpet anyway how they want to. That why i say that when you habe a artist who sings and their song having a meaning to it that the type of muice you should listen to. For kanye West I chose em for the fact most of his song have power full meaning to it and where he having reason to why he he out that in his song or even bring it to our attention. I believe in what he says. Am just sayingn that quote and songs do make people act different or actually make them open their eyes to see what life is really about and stop doing all that other stupid stuff that not really that important. This quote relate to the literature for the fact that it can discribe manything that we learn in lierature adn most time a quote can relate to the book I mean For Things Fall Apart where there religion some what can be the same just like what okonkwo and Chielo for the fact that she lost nine kids but at the end of it all there was only have one left. Where that shows there always someone watching you or guiding you on the other side. That how I can say that the book that am reading somewhat can relate to the quote. I really didnt actually know how it relate this was one idea i came up with.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite quotes comes from Tupac. On his song ‘’Staring At The World Through My Rearview’’ he says ‘’once a motherf***** gets an understanding of the game and what the rules of the game is, the world aint a trick no more, the world is a game to be played.’’ This quote affects me because I do feel like the world is a game to be played. In this world there are two types of players, the successful and the unsuccessful. As far as the rules of the game goes I think in order to be successful you need self confidence education, and connections to people who are already successful. Once you have gained an understanding of the rules you must now put your skills to use. When you have an education combined with self confidence and high level connections I think you are unstoppable because not only do you have enough confidence to believe you can do anything your education gives you the tools to carry your plans, lastly your connections make it easier to get your goals accomplished. As a result you become successful. When you become successful now you can set the standard for the unsuccessful to follow. I view myself as a success story in the making. Sometimes I view my peers as people who have not figured out the rules of the game. They all want the benefits that come with success but know one wants to work for the benefits or they want to take the easy way out, you get what you put in so if you don’t put in any work why would you expect to receive anything
