Quote of the week


What does this quotation mean? What do you think about it?

Miss Ale: i think that this coment means that where ever you are the onley way you will surelly feel will be happy and cheerful becasue you had ,mqaybe, done something great in the past for other people and maybe this helped the mvery very much, but although you liked very much this, yuo know that this action you did took to you a lot of time and effort and maybe in the middle of it you got a little bit disapointed becasue you tought that you will never get to it. but when you finally got to it, you saw that onley with ATTITUDE andEFFORT you can get anywere and get wether than with any other filing.

I think that Martha Washington means that you can be happy and cheerfull, but always in your life you will have misery so both, misery and happiness you can get it from dispositions and not wait for the circumstances, fix your problems before and enjoy your happiness as much as you can for the time being. Miss Ale: This quote of the week was more challeging that others but it is good that we go learning to understand and know what the quote means! see you...

Miss Ale I think this comment can serv you for you life it is something that could tought us that in life we always have to be happy and cheerful in the bad situations and the good situations. And that is not the greater part there is anther part that it depends in our desposisons. My point of view is that we always have to be happy becuase like that we can enjoy what we are doing so we because we always have to think in positive ways because that can help you to have a good life. And also our dispositions means that we always have to be there and also no matter what happens you will always be cheerful and happy and we have to complete some things to be at all despositions. This quote can srv me for my life and my future. I loved this comment!!!!!!
bye-bye

Hi Miss Ale!!!
I think that this cuote of the week means that weather you have problems or weather you are a very lucky person wich his or her life is perfect doesn't mean you have to be sad when you have problems or you have to be happy when you are perfect. It depends if you are a happy person or not. exaple:I am not a perfect person or a person of problems but I am happy when I am with my friends or when I had a super day but when I am sad is because I didn't have a good day with my friends or that I didn't feel well at school or in werever because I got sick etc...
So that is a example of a person wich is a person which is happy some days and sad other days but now I am going to make an example of a perfect person: I am perfect and I am not happy because nobody likes me nobody wants to be my friend. That was a exaple of a perfect person which isn't happy and then I will give an exaple of a person wich has a lot of problems and is very happy or only happy: I am a person with lots of problems like I don't do well in school or I don't do my homework, etc... but, I am very happy because I have a good family and good friends!!! And that was an example of a person with problems that is happy. And thats why I think this cuote means that!!! I think that this cuote is very helpful to reflect and think hard because it is very chalenging because it is a difficult one and it is good to think of theese things because many people say that you are sad because you have problems but maybe you are happy or other people say you are super douper happy because you are perfect but you aren't happy. I also think that this coute is very nice because you read other comments and learn more and to think of this makes me happy because I am learning to express my self in writing!!! OK Miss Ale as I don't have anything else to say I would have to say....
bye bye!!!

Miss Ale I think that this means that when we are ditermined to do something we must allways do it and never give up. Without giving excuses, from the things that soround us. When we are disposed to do something no matter how tough things may seem. We must allways give our best trying to keep the world around us o.k. Our goals have to made with happines and we must allways try to be better persons no matter how our lifes may seem. IN ANY TYPE OF SITUATION.
Thanks for the quotes!!!

Hi there!
I think this quotation means that you have to be happy and cheerful all the time no matter in which situation you are. Being sad or happy depends on you and not the situation in which you are. If you put your best your always going to be happy. It depends from where you see the situation you might be happy or sad. The situation can´t make you sad or happy, the only one who can make that is you and your friends and family because they help you in the good times and in the bad times. Nobody else can change your feelings. In life there is happiness and misery and that is how it is. Sometimes misery is not bad because it helps you understand other things such as happiness. Maybe you are sad for something but you have to know that in another place someone is happy and that should make you feel good. Happiness and misery are always going to depend on our dispositions. You don´t have to be perfect to be happy. Everybody has misery and happiness inside, and that´s how life is. Your feelings don´t depend on your circumstances, it only depends on your dispositions. Ex: Maybe you got a bad mark in a test but you studied very hard and that is what matters. I think that in this case the dispositions should be your effort and the circumstance should be the bad mark. I think Martha Washington is a very wise person and she has a clear view of how life is. If you put into life attitude and effort it will be much more easier and happier.
See you soon,
