Journal - After watching the short clip of Ashton Kutcher's
acceptance speech what did you take away from his advice? What does this quote
mean to you -"Everything around you that you call life was made up by
people that were no smarter than you, and you can change it, you can influence
it, you can build your own things that other people can use."
Response- After
watching Ashton Kutcher, or Chris, whatever works, receive his award chosen by
the thousands of screaming teenage girls throughout the United States I took
away several different things from his speech. The first being that I would
rather not be stuck in a room with all of those screaming girls. But besides
that, I took away that even though the road to where you want to be someday may
be long and exhausting, you’ll get there through many small steps that will
eventually lead to the top. I also took away that that not only does getting to
where you want to be take plenty of patience, but it also takes the ability to
use your mind. You have to be creative and use your intelligence to get where
you want to be as it’s the best way to show who it is you really are.
The quote "Everything around you that you call life was
made up by people that were no smarter than you, and you can change it, you can
influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use" can
mean many things to me. One idea about the quote that stands out to me is that
if you set your mind to change the world, it’s possible. Everyone is on an even
playing ground when it comes to influencing the world and the one’s that work
their way up and show that they’re willing to work are the ones that make it
far. This quote can go on to say how you don’t have to be the top student in
your class to make it far in life, but someone who has the drive to make their
dreams become a reality, which is trait that stands out in few.
