Inspirational Quote by Matthew Barcus

Here is a wise man.

”Be the change you want to see in the world.”–Mahatma Ghandi

Mahatma Ghandi was a wise man who was born on october 2, 1869 and died on January 30,1948. I chose this qoute because many people in the world say there should be a change, but they want other people to make it. Instead, Ghandi made a difference himself. Mahatma Ghandi was one of the inspirations of Martin Luther King Jr., because of his belief in nonviolent resistance. Mahatma Ghandi was against discrimination or violence, because they can hurt people. The things he did changed the world.

 

Inspirational Quote by Carlos Ortiz

Help someone in need. It’s the right thing to do.

“Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world”– Howard Zinn

This inspirational quote is very important to me because Howard Zinn is trying to explain how the smallest acts can make a big difference. When people contribute, it creates a change in how small communities, cities, and countries interact with one another to make good outcomes in moderate to bad situations. I say this because here in Eagle Academy, we had a canned food drive, and when word came out about this food drive, every one in each house–Che, Clemente, Obama, and X house–contributed to give to the less fortunate. If YOU want to make a difference, help people in need and don’t be selfish. You could be helping children you don’t even know to have a successful future.

 “Enough. Why don’t you stop and think about other people’s feelings for a change? You’re so busy looking forward, that you never have time to look back. We’ve lost some good friends here and it’s nice to remember them once and a while.” –Matt, Digimon Adventures season 1

 

This quote has more substance to it than you think. Matt says it when Puppetmon splits the team up after they get lost trying to get to spiral mountain.  Ty and Matt are in one of the groups, but they’re so busy arguing that they can’t find the others or help themselves. This quote is really about an older brother who is scared for his little brother and the person he’s with is not helping at all. When Matt was saying this, he was really saying that you shouldn’t spend too much time thinking about yourself when you could be thinking about or helping other people.

 

Inspirational Quote by Rayjean Otero

Together we can make a change in our world.

“We do have a lot in common.The same Earth, the same sky. Maybe if we start looking at what’s the same instead of what’s different, well, who knows?”

This quote goes to a whole new level. It explains that we as a human race should not look at what is different about each other, and we should stop arguing about our differences. People always are excluding people. We should understand that we have many things in common. We are humans, we all live on Earth. The last sentence explains that if we keep this in mind, no one knows what can happen. If humans learn to overlook each other’s differences, I believe that many more people will be nice and there will be less people excluding each other. Lastly, I believe that if we all try to stick together, we will succeed in making the world a better place.

Kareem-abdul-jabbar in his Los Angeles Lakers Uniform

“You can’t win unless you learn how to lose” -Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

A great NBA basketball player named Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who played on the Los Angeles Lakers, said this. This quote is inspirational because you can’t get stressed out or take your anger out on your teammates and family just because you lost. For example, the Miami Heat won 27 games in a row in 2013. The Chicago Bulls broke their winning streak, but they didn’t stress out. A couple of weeks later, the Heat faced the Bulls again in the 2013 playoffs, and the Heat won the series. Also, let’s say you play your first game of basketball, and you lose. You can’t get mad over one game, you have many more games to play in your basketball career. You have  to keep trying so you can get better. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar can now tell this amazing quote to other young athletes that struggle with being focused on losing. Young athletes can learn from losing by learning how they lost, so they can win next time.
