This quote to me means if you get in a situation where there is no good outcomes then obviously don't do it. Alot of people like myself sometimes do things and not even think about it because its what you wanted in that period of time and you just didnt think things through. If you keep doing the same thing and going back to same old mistakes over again odds are your going to get the same outcome. Say your friends with someone and they lie to you and constantly being sketchy and your still friends with them your outcomes of them changing are a very slight possbility. Everyone i ever met that did that and said they were going to change didnt. they were a good friend for a week or two but then started lieing again and being two-faced and what not. Or what if you stay up late and you can't get up for school, you might not want to stay up late because then your exhausted and theres no positive outcome! I know this has happened to plenty of people like not studying for an exam or test and yo fail but you keep doing it. So point is think before you do things and make sure theres a better side of the outcome because theres no point of doing things several of times to just fail at it again.
ReplyDeleteI think this quote means that if something is so easy and you can do it so fast and so quick that you arent going to get anything out of it. You can only learn by being challanged if it is easy what are you learning ? Nothing comes easy in this life. you have to struggle to thrive. There are to many things in life that you could be good at. If you excel at something so well and have mastered it why continue to stay at your current rank or postion you can either advance to a more difficult form of it or add another challange to it.
ReplyDeleteSo If you can put a bike together without instuctions move up a tier try to work on a little moped or even a electric scooter. Then evantually you will learn how to fix a full blown vehical. The harder you work and the more difficult it is you will be able to learn more and more .
Honestly i think that this Quote means that if something is not challenging nor a stuggle and there are no obstacles along the way then its probrobly going to lead you no where. There are many things in life that are easy and theres not big accomplishments at the end of the road if you take the easy way out. If you work hard and challenge yourself and somethings are extremley hard there will be bigger acomplishments! Such as college if you take the easy way out and not go your not really going to go far in life. Now say if you go to college and you study extremly hard and go for your doctorate and masters then in the long run everything will work out, and there will be big opertunities in the end. work hard for what you want! if its easy its probrobly not worth it in the long run.
ReplyDeleteI think that this quote means that if something is easy and you arent challenged at all then you probably arent going to get anything out of it. When you go to school and you have an easy class and you arent challenging yourself in it then it is just a waste of time. You pass the class and get the credits for it but in the end you havent learned anything. In life your always going to have obstacles and if you dont or you take the easy way out then thats not going to help you learn in the long run.
ReplyDeletewe used the same example, great minds think alike girly :) i agree with you completly
Deletethe quote "if you find a path with no obstacles it probably doesnt lead anywhere" is very realistic. going through life you face alot of struggles, it is very rare that you don't. you learn from the expeirences you go through. if there was none then you wouldnt learn anything. you would have no street smarts and intelligence about life itself. for example you need to challenge yourself in life. in school if you are in a class that is very easy and you breeze through it, you should challenge yourself. it will look better for you in the future like for college applications. putting your full knowledge and effort into something will benefit you in the long run. not break you
ReplyDeleteI totally agree what you responded to this quote , especially with school you cant just think that you are going to breeze through anything in life there's always a struggle.
Deleteto me this quote means to not go down the wrong path.why would u put your self in a situation that u can get introuble or it just leads u to nothing that is no good.or it can also mean to not take the easy way out,. cheating u get noting out of it its just an easy pass nd u learn nothing. if your really trying to acocoplish something u should never take the easy way out !!!
ReplyDeleteWhat that interprets to is the fact that without hardly any challenges along the way, our character in a leadership type of role isn't built up well.
ReplyDeleteTo me the quote “If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn’t lead anywhere.” means that if there is no challenge in something then at the end of it it wont come out the right way or the way you wanted to do matter how easy it was to get to were you was at in the first place. Many people go through struggle in life and that's the outcome you get when you are trying to get somewhere in life you go through difficulty trying to get to were you want to be at. Say in high school you had teachers that just passed you and you barely did any work , so basically you got the easy way out. But when you go to college you didn't really know anything because when you was in school you didn't learn anything that was important because you dint pay attention to anything while you was there and your teachers just let you passed. My int is that everyone has no easy way out of things there's always something right behind it to go wrong.
ReplyDeleteWhat that interprets to is the fact that without hardly any challenges along the way, our character in a leadership type of role isn't built up well. You see, to become a great leader or have a good future, you must overcome obstacles and challenges to prove and show your great capabilities to get to your goals and dreams no matter what comes at you. The Bible says, "Start is great, but finishing is better", (Book Of Proverbs), finish what you start, and you will accomplish it.
ReplyDeleteIf you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere. Anonymous is right; If you have nothing at all to accomplish in life, or if you don't have anything to slow you down, you aren't going to get anywhere. How are you going to become independent? How are you going to move forward and get over those speed bumps? When I was in 7th grade I had to find a new circle of friends because I was new to the school, moving from Florida. I talked to my guidance councilor, I even had some of my classes changed. But you know what? I overcame my biggest fear, loosing my best friend. I'm not the only one who has troubles in my life. Through bad and good times there is always something that will make you a stronger person and even maybe more successful. So don't be like the quote, " If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere. " ;)
ReplyDeleteI liked your response. I can relate having moved around a lot earlier in my life. I also agree with the point that you yourself are not the only one with problems. Everyone has to deal with them, and overcome them.
Delete“If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn’t lead anywhere.” This quote is very straight forward. My interpretation of this quote is that if you're doing something major or important, and it doesn't take some sort of effort, the chances are that you're not doing the best you can. Maybe nothing at all. If it seems like every day, in every class, you're doing almost no work ad flying by, the chances are that you're slacking off and not doing all that you should be. No job is as easy as it seems. You have to stay on top of it, or you'll fail at it before you realize you are.
ReplyDeleteI think this quote means that if you find a path with no obsticals than its too good to be true and the end result will not be as good as you want it to be. If there is nothing to overcome in your path than you didn't really work for anything so in reality you don't deserve a reward. Like in high school you can't just graduate by doing nothing at all. You have to do homework and stuff like that to actually succeed in high school. You can't just float through like some people think they can. I'll have good grades then i think that i don't have to do anything so therefore my grades drop like they are right now because of the fact i was doing good and i started just not trying so now i have to work twice as hard as i did before to pass. Bottom line is if you want to succeed you can't just do nothing to get to where you want to go.
ReplyDelete"if you find a path with no obstacles, it probably does not lead anywhere".
ReplyDeleteTo me i think this quote means that if your just chillen with friends everyday smoking drugs or something, your not gonna go anywhere. In life you have to do something that takes time and means something. If you want to make a difference you have to do this. Going on a path like say... becoming a pro football player, there is a lot of obstacles. You have to be able to run jump and be able to play a full game without over heating or giving up. Like if Your a defensive line player, you have to give it all you got every single play to stop the opposing player who has the ball. and you have to do this every game and every play. That is just one example. another good example would be becoming a doctor . Becoming a doctor takes graduating highschool. Going to college. then you have to graduate from college. then you have to go to graduate school. then a buinch of other bull shit things. It takes a lot, and many years. there are many obstacles in becoming a doctor. and everyone knows that if your a doctor you achieved the goal of living and the american dream.
“If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn’t lead anywhere.”
ReplyDeleteThis quote is kind of true but at the same time I see as it not really true. You can be born with a truck load of money and not have to work a day in your life. You would have a house a car and all that other good stuff you need to live, even if you have infinite money you can get what ever you want. When you are born like that, that is when I see this quote to be true. Because you got the money from the day you were born and didn’t have to lift a finger to have it all. This idea goes with the quote because where are you going to go if you are already there. You already got the money and everything, your not famous, your just rich. You didn’t go anywhere. You just got a bunch of money. Now this is where I see the quote to be b.s . You can be really good at baseball. Go to school throw your first pitch and its 98 mph. That’s fast enough to go to the pros. But every time you throw that ball it goes down the middle 100 mph every time with no problem. You think it’s the easiest thing. Then after high school you go straight to the pros . You made it big but pitching was so easy , you had no problem throwing the ball. That goes for being a farmer, playing any sport, or just creating a website like facebook. You do something easy to you and make it, its been done.
