Like in the song Don’t Rain on My Parade sang by Lea Michele says, “I know what I want and I’ve got the perseverance to do it and nothing is going to stand in my way.” Then it says “And if I'm fanned out Your turn at bat, sir At least I didn't fake it Hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it But whether I'm the rose Of sheer perfection Or freckle on the nose Of life's complexion The cinder or the shiny apple of its eye I gotta fly once I gotta try once Only can die once, right, sir?” This song tells me not to let anyone bring me down and, no matter what I can accomplish anything I put my mind to. It also tells me that it will take my trying to know if something is for me or if it is going to lead me to my future. “Let’s take a break tonight And then we’ll teach them how to say goodbye To say goodbye You and I” this line is from One last time sung by Lin-Manuel Miranda & Christopher Jackson, helps me understand that it is okay to step away from something that is important to me. “Pick up a pen, start writing I wanna talk about what I have learned The hard-won wisdom I have earned” all the wisdom or new knowledge I have learned will help the others who follow in my steps. “Mr. President, they will say you’re weak …show more content…
“I'm through accepting limits 'Cuz someone says they're so Some things I cannot change But till I try, I'll never know!” People try to bring others down telling them what they can’t do and, You can never find out what is going to happen until you try. “Unlimited Together we're unlimited Together we'll be the greatest team There's ever been—Glinda! Dreams the way we planned 'em” being with your true friends you can be the best or the strongest team. “And nobody in all of Oz No wizard that there is or was Is ever gonna bring me down!” This verse on the song teaches me that I should not let anyone try to knock me away from my
No matter the struggles never give up; this is one of many themes found in the story. “I made my choices, “Jack said. “I’ll stand by them.” He turned to me. “It’s
The fact that once time is gone, it’s gone for good. There is no making up for lost time, and you cannot change what you didn’t do. Enjoy life while you can because there is no making up for it when you are no longer busy. It’s easy to hear and listen to advice, but it is much more difficult to follow through with advice in the moment. The song uses the imagery of a man’s life passing by and how it has influences his son’s
David Mamet once stated, “..it is the human lot to try and fail..” This quotation implies that an individual will attempt to achieve success throughout their lifetime, but he/she will also have to face the failures as well. The quote relates to the philosophy that in order to achieve something, one will have to work for it. This quotation is correct and is further supported by two literary works. The two novels are Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck and The Pearl, also by John Steinbeck. In these two novels, the protagonists know that their goals are very farfetched and out of the norm, yet they both try to achieve it and ultimately fail.
When you do not live up to your full potential some people will say that is a waste of talent. Even if someone were to go down the wrong road there is still a chance to redeem yourself. Flannery O 'Connor the author of “A good man is hard to find” is a great example of that situation. When a family of six a grandmother, her son Bailey, the mother of his three children John Wesley, June star and a baby boy. After the family decides to have a road trip to Florida, they encounter a man known as the misfit. The misfit has been through so much trouble that the grandmother sees the lost potential in the man. The grandmother shows her indifference for creation by selfishly manipulating and nagging to get her way on the family 's vacation (Keil).
To begin, a major message from “Up on Your Feet” is that you should never give up no ...
“Listen as your day unfolds. Challenge what the future holds. Try and keep your head up to the sky. Lovers may cause you tears. Go ahead, release your fears. Stand up and be counted. Don't be ashamed to try.”
¨Most of the important things in this world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.¨ was a quote by Dale Carnegie a accomplished American writer and lecturer. I believe one of the themes of the quote is perseverance and to never give up no matter how hard or difficult something is. I also believe one of the other themes of the quote is determination and to keep doing what you want and doing and don't listen to people that say you can't do something.
One quote that represents this is from the track “Home”, when Phillip Phillips sings,“The trouble it might drag you down, when you get lost you can always be found, just know you're not alone.” Here, Phillips seems to be saying that no matter what happens in life, someone will be there to assist. Another quote that illustrates this message is from his song “Gone, Gone, Gone.” The lyrics read,“When you fall like a statue, I’m gon’ be there to catch you.” Similarly, these lyrics indicate that even through hard times, you will be helped. In this first album by Phillip Phillips, he displays how he will write his next songs and albums to come. Broadly, his next album will likely be a mix of pop and rock with an uplifting
“Sometimes life strikes me down but that doesn’t mean I give up, no I get right back up and keep going” (Grant, 2015). Life throws everyone a hard ball, and how someone copes with their situations tends to be left up to individual. Those words are used to offer encouragement and motivation to keep someone striving and pushing beyond any situation that is placed upon them.
Frank Ocean stated "work hard in silence, and let success do the noise". On the other hand Leonardo Cortes said. "No pain, No gain, Shut up and train “. These two quotes are what motivate me to get the job of my dreams. The hardest, challenging job I’m going for is able to play in the NBA.
In the future, I will be a premed student. Everyone knows how difficult that will be. So whenever I listen to this song, I just want to have fun and enjoy myself. Life is always going to be a little challenging sometimes. If you let it get to you, how will it ever end? Sometimes you just have to forget and continue to the present. Life is not always about the seriousness. You have to let loose and have some actual fun time. You can do both. Be a successful person who knows how to enjoy life and be happy.
...In a nut shell, the overall message in Katy Perry’s song creates a positive impact towards listeners. Repetition in her lyric clearly shows that a person has potential which has yet to be discovered. “Boom, boom, boom/Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon”(37). The lyric tells that when the potential is revealed, it will definitely bring an individual towards unimaginable success in life. Also, for successful people, they are mostly equipped with high self esteem and persistence, Katy Perry once said that “everyone has the spark to be a firework” (Vena) where in her song “Firework,” she reminds her audience to derive strength from their inner self and build their own stone steps towards success. Also, Katy Perry tells her audience that failure will not last forever. Ultimately, people can build a better future of their own if they possess true faith in themselves.

She says, “It’s the little things that matter, that add up in the end, with the priceless thrill of magic found only in a friend.”
Many people learn many different life lessons throughout their lives. Whether it’s from reading a book, watching a movie, or living the experience yourself. Many life lessons can be taught to people through several different things. These include, but are not limited to, hard-work, getting a job, playing sports with a team or by yourself, and achieving your goals. I have learned many life lessons through many different things. Three of these life lessons are never give up, it’s not over ‘til it’s over, and that there are two types of pain, physical and regret, and only one fades with time.
