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.
