great 1. I believe that to “seize the day” means to suck all the marrow out of life. You must grab every opportunity life gives you and make the best of it. Don’t just stop and smell the roses, you have to taste the roses, feel the roses, and be the roses! That is the difference between seizing the day and seizing the opportunity. The opportunity will sometimes seize you, but you must seize the day. It will never seize you. This is what “seize the day” meant to Thoreau. 2. To “live deliberately” is to “simplify.” What you must do is look for the bare necessities, those simple bare necessities. You’ve got to forget about your worries and your strife. If you look for the bare necessities, Old Mother Nature’s recipes, then the bare necessities of life will come to you. 3. Robert Frost wrote “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood and I-I took the one less traveled by-and that has made all the difference.” Sitting here writing this I can think of only one thing: the HOV lane on I-85 Southbound. As I watch the fools in the much traveled lanes I fight to contain my glee. My lane, the one less traveled, is much less crowded. I can go ten miles in my lane in the time it takes others to go one. I have been able to sleep much later since the opening of the lane, and that has made all the difference. I have more energy, the rings around my eyes are gone, I even have time to eat a nice breakfast, I’m less irritable, and I get more homework done. That my friends has made all the difference. 4. “Find your own walk.” Well, yes I suppose I could, but wouldn’t it be easier if I just borrowed one of yours. I mean, what does it really mean to find your own walk? Granted you must find your own walk to be your own individual, but it’s just so hard. Sure I’d be happier and fulfilled, but happiness is highly overrated. No, I think I’ll march to that big drum in the sky. I’ll march along as it whispers into my ear left, right, left, right…Yes, I think that’s what I’ll do. 5. “Make your lives extraordinary.” We must take our lives, our mundane little lives, and live them. We must live the lives most men only dream of. There was a movie a while back called “Braveheart,” and at one point in the movie Mel Gibson says “Every man dies, not every man really lives.” We must find the one thing that makes us happiest and hold on for fear of falling back into the monotony of everyday life. That is what men dream of, making their lives extraordinary. Extraordinary. You see, to truly understand this statement we have to break this word down. There’s Ext and there’s Traordinary, what these words mean is a mystery all its own. 6. “No matter what you hear, words change the world.” Reading this I recall my grade school years when I would say quite the opposite. I was oft heard to shout “Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me” in my day, but I was wrong. If words alone can change the world, then surely they can hurt me. I remember the day my Chicken Little sky was falling; I bounded down the bus steps invigorated by life, I bounded so hard that I almost fell. Grateful for my god-given balance I hurried on, only to fall into a large pile of mud. I can still hear their taunts. However, that is the day it occurred to me that if words could be used to hurt, could they not be used to help. We must use our tongues for one sole purpose: edification. For if we did only that, truly then we would change the world. Bibliography:
