“If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn’t lead anywhere" to me I think this quote means that if you have no obstacles in life then you will have no accomplishments. Like in school you have to face so many obstacles to graduate. Such as being on time, getting all your work done, staying after, and keeping up with any after school activites. After you get past all your obstacles then you will have accomplished a lot. You have to work to get somewhere. If you have no obstacles in your life then your really not going to get anywhere. The more obstacles you have on your path the more it will pay off at the end.
ReplyDeletei think that this is a good example using the school to show how life would be if there were no obstacles in life how would the world be
Delete'' If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere.'' This quote means you have to go through rough times in order to get somewhere in life. If everything to yo ucomes easy, you dont really know how much something means to you. In order to really want something, you have to work for it. And in order to work for it, you have to encounter somethings that might want you to give up, but if you work through them, it leads you to where you're going. Nothing good comes easy. Which is why people say work for what you want, and never give up. Everyone goes through things and something stands in their way, but when this happens you have to keep going. Keep working for what you want, and when you do this good things will happen.
ReplyDelete“If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere” I think it means that you are not going to get any where that has no obstacles. In my you want to have a track that has perfect obstacles. So you can be a successful in the future as well. Also a path with no obstacles is not going get any advantages for you in your live why? It is because you made your own decision to go that way. As well you had no idea what to do. That could be another reason why. But the main thing is to never to go to a path that has no obstacles. It is always better to go to a path that could lead you some where. A place that can make you better successful person in the future. Because you sure do know that you don't want end up, like the people who went the path has no obstacles. Like for example kids in school want to have a career after they graduate. But in order to get the career you have to be present in school every day, as well as your grades on what you do in your classes. Because that is what is going to get you into a good obstacle. Also it can help you get many advantages. As well it can give experiences on what you know and don't know. So it is always better to find a good path with a obstacle that can lead you some where. In stead of a path with no obstacle, that doesn’t lead anywhere.
ReplyDeleteIf you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere." What this quote means is that if you're headed somewhere in life and there is no hardship or no difficulties then you're not really learning anything and you're getting everything just handed to you. When someone works really hard for something they want to achieve they go through rocks on the road to get there. It could mean sacrifices, taking years to achieve, or even tears. But, the most important thing was that they went through obstacles to persue that goal. If you take the easy way out or if everything is just handed to you, what did you really learn? Nothing at all. You go through tough times so that you can learn and better yourself for the future. This tells us that we should always work hard for what we want and not to take any short cuts because in the end it will be worth it. I know that every year I tell myself I want to get better grades. By that I have to set myself some tasks to persue to get there. I limit going out every weekend and I spend more time studying than sleeping. I know that if I want to achieve this goal, I have to make sacrifices, whether they're small or big changes, it's better than not trying at all.
ReplyDeleteI agree Patricia if you proceed to my entry you will see that I have the same outlook as you about going through hard times / obstacles to be prepared for them when they do finally come
DeleteThis quote means to me that whatever path you plan on going down or choosing in your life should have some type of complication or struggle that you need to overcome while your going down it because if you just live a smooth road the whole way down you will never know how it is to have to accomplish something. When people have that attitude like they never had to do anything it makes them feel good about their selves and cocky most of the time because they don't know what it's like. The quote says it leads to nowhere because one day you will have to work for something and since you have not had any experience in the past or on whatever path you were on then you are not going to know what to do when it comes to the point when you do have some obstacles coming your way.
ReplyDeletewell said and very meaningful I agree specially with the fact that with you never go through any struggle you wont know what to do when something heavy falls on your shoulders
Deletethe quote means that when you choose the road you want to go down. choose the one with obstacles not the one without. this is because most of the time the path without obstacles leads you no where very often. But the path with obstacles could lead you too great success. It could lead you anywhere from jobs that pay great or even just a living salary. But either way following the path with obstacles is great for example. When i was about 12 i decided to myself i would go in the military. Well two years go by and i look at all this info and read up on different branches. But the one that caught my eye the most was the marines. It caught my eye due to the fact that it had stated the few the proud so i wanted to be one of those few people. Plus to become a marine there are many obstacles and most of them are getting your papers verified. The others basic training and put in combat. It takes a strong mind to overcome those obstacles but that is why i picked that because it has all of those obstacles. So there for that is why you should choose the road with all the obstacles. It may be challenging but it will all be worth it in the end.
ReplyDelete“If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn’t lead anywhere.” This to me means that you go down a road that has no road blocks and problems to get in your way, its not going to give you everything that your looking for. I have a person in my life who got everything that she wanted.Not that she was spoiled, she was just so good at music that she got a job right after college.But the thing is that she didnt want that kind of life. She is a hard working person and she was raised to work hard. But the life she had wasnt the one she needed. She didnt learn anything at all when she was just handed her job. So she left and came back home. Now she has a job working hard everyday, having problems big or small everyday but in the end its worth it. Reading this quote made me think of her and how i dont want things giving to me because i wont learn anything. So in the end if you go down a road with no obstacles then you will not learn and you will not truly now the feeling of hard work
ReplyDeleteVery few people in the world get somewhere without any obstacles... (Mitt Romney). Obstacles are what make life worth living. If you ever did something that had no obstacles you probably got bored of it very quickly. If to be a doctor was only, let’s say 4 moths of school, the payment would be very low, and no one would want to be one. Obstacles are like an achievement for things. Every time you get over one you feel proud and you know that for anyone to be better than you they have to get over that same obstacles. I hate doing homework so most of the time I leave something unfinished so I can work on it when I’m not as tired or when I feel like, but when I finish everything I feel proud of myself and a little smarter too. I very good example is a movie called Arthur. This movie is about a guy that did not have to do anything to have all of the money he has and to make more money all he has to do is marry an very hot women that his mom already planed the wedding but he is in love with this girl that lives in a “box” next to the trains in NY and he gives up everything to marry her but he doesn’t know what he lost because he didn’t work for it. My point is that if you don’t work hard for something and get over obstacles you will never know what it really means.
ReplyDeleteA path with no obstacles, is like taking the easy way out. If someone takes the easy way out it means that there wouldnt be an award most likley. I would know much about this because I usually take the easy way out of everything I do. Most of the time it ends up with me doing more work then what was given and to refer it to the example given to me the said quote, by bypassing the obstacles in front I created much more in front of me. So as a result it takes twice as much effort to find an easy path, obstacle free, then it takes to take the route given. When I had taken the easy way out the reward had not been as fulfilling as I thought it would have been. So what I am trying to say is that if you were to take the easy way out of anything and the reward doesn't seem like you would deserve it then don't take the easy way out and have those obstacles that you need in your way so it feels like you actually worked for something instead of just doing nothing and getting a reward for it. If you had worked to get your reward you will feel as if you needed to do it so that you didn't feel as if you had been guilty of taking the easy way out. I would know how that feels because like I said before, I like to take the easy way out.
