Our Deepest Fear By: Kelly Langlois

Fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or threat. Did you already feel this emotion? The global meaning of this quote is how we are personally in life. The quote has many qualities like humans do. The meaning of the line "It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us." is that it's our strengths not our weaknesses that most frightens us in life. When I read this line, I have the image of someone standing in the dark with a light in the corner. It makes me think that the darkness means the bad side the "weaknesses" and the light means the good side the "stengths". This is the global meaning of the quote and the meaning of the line that caught to my eye.

Our Strengths Frightens Us by Melyssa Merner

As we think about our deepest fear we realize that our strengths is what frightens us most. We are scared to show the best part of our personalities and capabilites. As said in the quote from Mariane Williamson "It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us." Minimizing our strengths will serve nothing to the world. We are scared of what others think of us. People have the tendency to hide their strengths, but as we let them be shown we influence others to do the same. An image that comes to mind when I read this quote is a black and white image with one person running away from the bright side of the image representing our strengths and running into the dark side were they are in their comfort zone, were they feel safe. The global meaning of this quote is that our deepest fear is not that we are not good enough. It is our strengths not our weaknesses that most frightens us. Us minimizing our strengths serves nothing to this world. There is nothing good in going smaller. We are all meant to excel. As we let our strengths be shown we let others know that they can do the same.

Your True Face; by Olivia Julien

"Its our light not our darkness that most frightens us", a great line from a quote I read. This is a great line that helps you understand the meaning of everyone's real fear. Could you imagine a world where nobody shows their real side and only their fake side? Sadly, this is our world. Everyone is scared of showing their strengths, by fear of being juged. Everyone is scared of showing their "light" because they dont have enough self-esteem and they feel that they will be the only ones showing their "light", this makes me think back to the quote that I read. At the end of the quote is says "as we let our own light shine we uncounciously give others permission to do the same" and this explains my first quote. Everyone is scared to show their light and to be different, because nobody has been the first one to be "the change". Be the change in the world and you will allow others to do the same. This quote makes me think about an image of someone blinded by light. This image links back to the quote because the person is scared of the light in front on him, because he was in the darkness his whole life.

Our Deepest Fear: By Anthony-James

 What is our deepest fear, our fears are different then other people’s fears. Like some people have “Arak-phobia” witch is a fear of bugs, more precisely a spider fear. Others fear “Terrorism” witch is a fear of terrorist and what they could do like, ex: 9/11 or France Stadium that exploded a few days ago. Actually our deepest common fear is not that we are not good enough, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure (Williamson ). This quote means that we are not actually scared of being different we are scared of being more superior then others.

Our fears are the only thing that stop us from accomplishing our dreams, our fears and our choices that we make in life make us who and what we are today… human. When I close my eyes the first thing that comes to mind is the quote, I think about high school students who are scared to show themselves because they might get judged by others. Would you rather face your fear or be human. If you face your fears then you might think about what could happen if you do, ex: losing your humanity by going over the human limit, ex: knowing too much or being superior then others. If you decide to be human then you will do the right choice like what a human would do but sometimes humanity cant save you and your choices will maybe have impact on you or you could maybe get concurred by your own fears and you will probably never know what is out there in the universe or on earth because you will be to scared to see it or even try it.

So what would you do?

Your Deepest Fear May be Your Talent by James H-P

Never giving up and staying who you are is a big key to success. This quote called Our Deepest Fear by Marianne Williamson has a strong meaning and especially for people who think about giving up. You are the only one who can really make a change in your life. There is a line in this quote that really marks me and makes me think about a famous hockey player named Wayne Gretzky. The line in this quote goes like this "Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyong measures." I see this quote as it is saying that we are not scared not to be good enough but that we are scared to be better than the average. All teenagers can connect to this line because we teenagers all have something that we do that is really outstanding. While rereading this specific in rhe quote I can see a picture of Wayne Gretzky who is the best hockey player and that has 56 records to his name. Having a fear is normal but having a fear to be to good is what everybody needs and also never should we give up because it is the key to success, and it will keep you having your head up.

Our Strengh by; Shawn Dube

In Marianne Williamson's quote Our Deepest Fear, she explains that it's important to show your strengthens to others. Most teens hide their strengths sometimes, because they're afraid or being judged or worse not fitting in. This is what Williamson means when she says: "It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us." Our strengths are the things that we're good at. If  we could just drop our fears, we could use our light (strengths) to accomplish our goals. In my opinion, everyone has something they are good at and things that they need to work on. For example, I'm good at math and some sports like football. But, I have some challenges with my French class, because I'd rather throw my books like a football, then read them. Not being good, or actually being good at something shouldn't make us afraid to be ourselves. Williamson's quotes makes me want to show my strengths not hide them. At the same time, work or my weaknesses so it can one day become a possible strength.  By choosing to shine my light, I'm giving other people permission to do the same. So, why do the same and don't be afraid to shine!

This quote is a very good quote and i think it has more than one meaning. The meanings are that WE are who We are and that We have to be good in who We are. We don't have to be like others who you know that are loved to be loved."We are all meant to shine"."We are all meant to shine" is a great Line and i can connect to it really easily. This sentence means that we are all meant to accomplish and be good at something in our life by being ourselves. I can connect to it easily because i Am good at lost of things in life like, hockey and gaming,etc. An image i have in my head is the sun because it is different from all the other stars and still shines. This quote has a very meaningfull meaning and is a great piece of art, it is one of the best ive seen in my life.

Our Deepest Fear: By Randy Giguere

Our Deepest Fear is one of those quotes that has more then one meaning to it. but there is the global meaning. and the global meaning is that we should all ways be ourselves when it comes to life. to day, in this society, we play small so that others around us feel better about themselves. the line that comes to my mind in the quote every time i think of this quote is this line: ¨our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure¨. this line comes to mind because it represents me in a lot of ways. for example i do not know how strong i am at school because I never put a lot of effort in to it. a image that comes to my head when i think of this line is a little boy that is trying out for hockey but he does not know if he is any good or not.i found that the quote was quote that every one should; not only read but understand what it means. 

Are You Afraid Of Your Darkness Or Your Light? By: Tamaya Bivins

Google Images

Goals are what we want in life. Unfortunaly, many goals turn into mere fantasys we dream about at night. Or during the day when we let our minds drift to another, better world. Why do our goals turn into fantasy? In the famous quote by Marianna Williamson it says: "It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us". This mean that, being's are afraid of realizing goals because it would mean stepping out of the norm. Meaning that the fear of being jugded by others stops the desire to accomplish our goals. Going after dreams is so uncommon that people are seen as brave and unique. Or they are seen as misfits or outcasts. People are afraid that once their goals are completed, others will treat them differently. Or that what they will have will not be enough. Not trying to accomplish goals won't help anybody. Holding back our potential won't help society move forward. Once the goals we have set for ourselfs have been accomplished, others will try to accomplish their own goals. One person can motivate a hundred others.

Everyone has fears. It's human to have fear in you. Some people have fear of heights, some its other things like spiders or dogs. The meaning of my quote " It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us " ritten by Marianne Williamson, and later made famous by Nelson Mandela. The meaning of this quote is that you should never stop being yourself. This quote means that it is our strengths and not our weakness that most frightens us. The first image that comes to my mind when I think of this quote is someone that gets more confidence, that talks more opon others just like someone that talks more in class. This image really represents my quote because it shows its meaning in the picture. Someone that has confidence is someone that is not afraid to be judged or to be called out name or to be laught at. " it is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us ".

Our Deepest Fear : By Samuel Latulippe

Why should we be scared of what people think about us, we shouldn't be.

Do what you like and do what you are good at, don't stop practicing your talents because you are scared of people judging you.

The quote our deepest fear means you should be who you are and not what people want you to be and if you be yourself people will notice and change, they will start being themselves.

Don't change something about you that you like just because someone told you to.

You are who you are and nobody can change that. The line that struck out the most to me was « it is our light, not our darkness that most

frightens us», it struck out the most to me because i find this very true.

It means that you are more scared of what you are good at than you are bad at because you are scared of people criticizing you.

I find that this is a really good quote because a lot of people can relate to it, a lot of people are scared to show what they are good at because they are scared of other people judging them.

Our Extensive Thought : Genevieve Gauthier

Pursuing who you are as an individual and being part of the human puzzle is what defines our society's awarenesses together. As being part of society's knowledge, "Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure".(Williamson). Many seek comfort in believing that we are limited by all circumstances, to ensure we don't have to persevere. If one succeeds, they must live up to their expectations. If their expectations are out of reach, they will doubt themselves. We are too powerful for our own mind, yet have endless potential to be discovered. We must master our minds in order to accomplish the impossible and change "limitation" to "limitless". Society's limits shouldn't hold us back from acknowledging who we truly are inside. We must shine together, to project enlightenment for others to unconsciously join and form a powerful voice; we will be heard. They say an image is worth a thousand words; this image conveys many meanings, depending on what view you can imagine. This innocent girl strived in the darkness for too long. The time came, and she finally revealed what she was truly made of; outweighing her strengths and leaving aside her weaknesses. She lifted her hand on a lonely stage; she signified her existence and knowledge. The spotlight shone on her, for the very first time and perhaps the very last. In little time, her world paused; the girl gained strength, desire, power and tranquility. We are all powerful beyond measure, and all pauses similar to this one, define our wisdom towards our society. No matter how we appear, we must not fade. Each and every one of us deserves to seek a light at the end of the tunnel. 

The Power Of You By: Derek O'Brien

There is a story about a little girl who loved going to school. She woke up every morning eager to go learn new things. Her friends, however, did not like going to school. The little girl therefore hid her passion because she was afraid of what her friends might think. The quote Our Deepest Fear written by Marianne Williamson explains how people are afraid of being themselves and to use their strengths because of what others might think. This is a very underexposed reality that deserves to be heard by everyone. One of the most powerful lines in the quote goes as follows: "It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us." This line is by far the most important one in the quote because it really explains what the quote is about. If you replace the words light and darkness by strengths and weaknesses respectively, you get a very powerful message. This message relates to my selected picture because when superman is not saving the world, he is disguised behind a persona known as Clark Kent. Superman disguises himself as Clark because he wants to be treated as a normal person and not some superhero who is treated differently from other people. This perfectly reflects the whole idea of the quote. People are afraid of showing who they really are because of how people would perceive them. People should not be afraid of being true to themselves. In fact, people should embrace their strengths and let others do them same. Next time you go out there, embrace who you are and encourage people to do the same. Who knows, you will probably live a happier life that way!

What is our deepest fear, Marianne Williamson once said "it is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us." This quote can mean a lot, but mostly mean, that people are constantly hiding who they really are. They are scared of being judge, being different. There is more than one fear, for example being scared of insects or the incident that just happened in France. This can also connect with the global meaning is mostly doing your best, being who you really are, not hide all your potential to be like others. Some people hide who they are, to feel included being like other people. They are scared of being different but being different is not a bad thing everyone is different in there own way. For example in the quote the last sentence said if you are not who you are there are people around you that are hiding them self too, but when you show who you are others will do the same. When I think of the quote the picture that comes to my mind is a shadow. One person being in colour and other in the shadow of themselves. One people showing who they are and standing out there own way. This is a very powerful quotes but you need to look at it carefully to understand and maybe find yourself in that quote.


Nobody Can Drag Me Down. By William Bedard

Picture taken from google Images.

Many quotes may represent you, or represent someone you know with a special meaning. But the one great quote by Marriane Williamson represents us all. The quote called Our Deepest Fear is very powerful and makes us reflect on our own lives. The Global meaning of the quote Our Deepest Fear is to always give your 110%, because "Your playing small does not serve the world" (Williamson). Not giving your 110% does not do any good to you or the world, it just proves that you are lazy. But some people aren't lazy, they're scared of giving their 110% to not be judged or make other people uncomfortable. "Our deepest fear is that we are inadequate" (Williamson) But we all have our own light or quality that shines in us wether it's being able to run a marathon, do the split or eating a 12'' pizza in 30 seconds, it does not matter, go ahead and show people your talent, don't give a &@*$ of others ''Thoughts'' about you, they're just jealous. But please don't brag because that is really annoying, does Sidney Crosby or Connor McDavid brag about how good he is... No. A line in this quote that stood out for me is "Your playing small does not serve this world" (Williamson) Because let's face it, that line is spot on how life works. Giving your 110% makes you a better person, the world a better place or at least does a change. But not doing it, just does nothing and is no good to this world. I connect to it beacause, I am small, yeah so, in a hockey game I work harder than the others and I end up as good as 6' guys. If I wouldn't I would be a small person that sucked at sports because I'm "small". Giving my 110% made a change for me, pride, I said to the world "I may be small but I can stand tall" (Unknown) and maybe other small people will follow my example, "As we let our own light shine, we unconciensly give the others permission to do so" (Williamson)
A picture that represents this quote is a guy training, and many people following in the backround (I know it's a clone but it was the only one I could find) In the picture the guy trains hard, lets his light shine and gives the other the oppotunity to do so, so the people follow him and the world becomes a better place. The guy could of stayed inside to train to not be jugded. Many people look up to him, somthere are always little haters that are hating because they are jealous. So he did not give a damn about their thoughts, trained hard and now look were he is, one of he best quaterbacks in the NFL, Tom Brady. Or that guy who broke the world record for fast pizza eating :).

Our Unfairly Concealed Beauty: Melanie Lachance

Many people in the world believe that their weaknesses are the cause of their deepest fear. What they are unaware of however, is that the thing that scares us the most is actually the act of expressing our uniquenesses. In the quote titled «Our Deepest Fear», written by Marianne Williamson, these statements characterize its global meaning; which is that we shouldn’t be afraid to express who we are. We all have strengths and weaknesses. Unfortunately, most of the time we feel the need to hide the best elements of our personality. Our beauty is what we fear the most because we are afraid of making others feel unworthy. The quote consists of a saying from Marianne Williamson, explaining that there is nothing good about hiding the finest parts of yourself to protect people around you from feeling insecure. In reality, we all have the right to let our beauty be seen. These diverse qualities in everyone should be appreciated, and not hidden because "Your playing small does not serve the world."(Williamson). This line from the quote really connected to a realization I had as a child. It refers to the fact that a person is not improving society by hiding their potential inside themselves that could be shining bright. I connect to this because I used to try to fail in school as a young child in order to escape being myself. I was scared that others around me would become jealous. I later on realized that playing small prevented me from discovering all of my capabilities. Society's branded social groups unfairly define what should and shouldn't be accepted. Other teenagers relate to this as well, since most of us feel the need to hide our greatnesses. The truthfulness about these aspects of life is well demonstrated in a particular image where a girl is holding a mask displaying a symbol of inner light restraint. She is hiding behind the image of herself perceived by society. The fear she carries to withhold her full personality isn't serving the world, as nobody can actually realize her potentially hidden life-changing qualities. This signifies that we should never under any circumstances; shrink ourselves down to anything less than who we are, because we are all perfectly different. Nobody should be afraid to reveal their true selves to society.

 

Discovering our light By: Anthony Ouellette

Taken from google images

A quote is a quote, every meaningful quotes are very good. There is a reason why quotes have been used for such a long time to help inspire people. This quote's global meaning is that before trying to change others, be yourself. Being yourself will make other people also want to be themselves. "It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us." This meant that finding your strengths will always be harder than finding our weakness' or copying someone else. When you will find the light inside you, you won't want to be someone else. "It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us." This was the most meaningful line for me. Once I found what I was good in, I had less fear about being wrong. Everything suddenly became easier. To be succesful in life you have to let your light take over your darkness. Now that you have found your light, let it shine.

The Deepest Fear About Being Who You Are By: Victoria Gignac

Image taken from Google images

     You've probably already seen that person who does everything possible to try and fit in and ends up becoming a completely different person. Marianne Williamson describes this change or "fear" through her whole quote: Our Deepest Fear. People shouldn't change who they are just to be able to fit someone's liking and fit in. You should never be afraid of being judged for being who you are. "There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you." (Williamson). This particular line strikes me because it has two different meanings. First of all, that is exactly what I do. People like me don't like being in the spotlight because we like to give others a chance to shine, too. I don't want others to be alone in a corner without the chance of being the center of attention because I also don't want them to feel like I'm showing off or that I'm selfish. This line also describes how there is nothing good about changing who you are so that others will like you better. Just like the essential meaning of this quote. Imagine this beautiful girl with a great personality but isn't the type of girl with too many friends and is desperately trying to fit in with others. She changes her looks and starts acting differently. That is wrong and should not be happening to anyone. Everyone deserves a chance to be seen equally in the world. You should always be proud of who you are because you are unique in this world and it should never change.

You Shouldn't Fear Anything: By Olivier Hainse

Taken from images

Fear is not real, it is a product of our imagination. Don't get me wrong danger is completely real, but fear isn't.We all have different fears but we all have a common one, Making a change in the world (stopping racism for example).Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure, but This sentence from  Marianne Williamson's quote, our deepest fear, means a lot to me because some times I think to myself what it would be like if we never had all the ipod's, ipad's,ect. To me the meaning of this sentence is that every bodies deepest fear is to make a change in the world, because we FEAR that we will be judged by other people.The image represents this sentence because it says IF YOU CHANGE NOTHING, NOTHING WILL CHANGE. This quote connects well with Marianne sentence because our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure but if we change nothing and we FEAR to be judged by others we will change nothing!

We are Capable of Anything! by Antoine Gosselin

People don't know their true strengths and weaknesses until they let their personality shine. Our Deepest Fear, a quote from Mrs. Williamson explains the discovery of your strenths and weaknesses but is also very interesting in many other ways. There are a few messages that are pretty captivating such as;"Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure." This line mainly explains the discovery of yourself. Therefore, it is easier to connect no matter the reader. I think the main idea of this line is to show your strengths and weaknesses so that you can be comfortable with yourself. The fact that the quote says that our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure means we are more frightened of what we could accomplish and take the courage to do, than knowing that we could fail in so many ways. Another point that is interesting about the quote is that we don't like showing that we're different and so we like to be mainstream. People get too scared of being judged by others. In the line "There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you." proves my point because it says that not giving your full 100% will impact others around you negatively. The image that came to me when reading the quote is that we can't only determine someone's capacities by referring to their physical appearance.. The way you think and act makes a huge difference for people around you but mostly for yourself. You don't have to be scared of showing your true feelings and let your personality shine!

The impact of a life shaping quote: By David Ishaq

The impact of a life shaping quote

From Google Images

As we know, quotes shape our opinion, actions as well as the way we interact with our surrounding but this specific quote impacts a mindset due to its meaning and far out connections it establishes. This small paragraph shows to all the way you are socially seen in relation of your influenced mentality. The global meaning this text demonstrates are the consequences we have on our surrounding that are caused in two extroversive categories, showing our light and our darkness. The advantage of shining or perhaps, showing a positive image of yourself results in you giving axes to your surrounding (friend, family, enemies, etc…) to not only see your brightness but to somehow do the same o their side. From knowing the meaning, we can look in deatail the positive initial impact this quote has on the reader. A line in this text that has impacted me the most as the reader is the following, ‘’There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you.’’ This line cannot be better said. It shows everyone including you the benefits of being sincere about your emotions and opinions. We clearly see tht by being your fake self (your influenced mindset), you are not being beneficial for yourself but you are simply giving others the permission to underestimate your intelligence and potential. I like to relate this statement to a very plain simple picture of Mahatma Gandhi. What is significant in this picture is the dedication he had for his ideas. Gandhi’s life follows the same rules the poem stated in all its lines. He wasn’t scared of ridicule, he stood up for his nation and said his opinion’s as clear as they were in his mind. By doing so, Gandhi gave others the opportunity to realize the social problems befor 1947 but as well as to give others axes to his world vision and strength’s. We clearly see by this man’s story that being yourself makes people around you feel secure. Gandhi’s strength range from being a good public speaker to dedication where he used this in a constructive way. The change he has made wouldn’t have happened if he wouldn’t have shown his own mentality.

By reading this quote you can do the same as what Mahatma Gandhi did, you only have to be yourself to be the cause of your change. (Be the change you want to see in the world)!!!

Hidden in the Shadows of Society: Chloé Carlson

Image Taken from Google

    Most teens hide themselves in the shadows of society. You may not be one of them or have ever been one of them but trust me there are many out there. The quote "Our Deepest Fear" by Marianna Williamson is about not being afraid to live up to your fullest potential and to not hide in your own skin. You shouldn't hide away, you should be yourself because everyone else is already taken; besides where's the fun in life if everyone would be the exact same. When you're minimizing who you are and not living up to your fullest, it doesn't serve the world. The like that I find the most meaningful and inspiring in the quote is "It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us." (Williamson) Which in other words this means that it is not our weakness that most frightens us it is our strengths. I connect with this line because I have a low self esteem and the line it's saying to be yourself and not hide our strengths away from others. Everyone hides from society, but mostly us teens. Being a teenager you are supposed to follow trends and to fit in. So you never really get to be your true self. The quote is relevant to all teens, from the outsiders to the popular kids. Everyone should be themselves and live up to there fullest. If you look at the image to your right you will see a girl huddling in a corner of the room covering here face. I chose to include this image in my blog post because the girl in the corner symbolizes someone hiding away from society. So in the end why wouldn't you want to be your own unique self? Besides, everyone else is already taken. 

Shine Out: Sarah-Maude Caron

Quotes are probably the most meaningful sayings of the world. Each quote has its own sense depending of its reader. Some people might see deeper meanings that others don't see. Quotes are also powerful sentences that easily come and touch us. The quote, Our Deepest Fear, (written by Marianne Willamson), can affect each and every one of us differently. This quote talks about self-esteem and how when we are confident we let the others around us do the same. When we have self-esteem in ourselves, we allow ourselves to do even better and we push ourselves at our best. Therefore, we then show the others around us that they can do the same. For example, when the quotes says, " It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same.", ( Willamson ), it shows us that everytime you stand up for yourself and you do your best, other people will want to do the same. This quote also means that in each individual on this earth, there is a powerful brightness that should be pushed to our best and everyone should be allowed to let this brightness shine out.

Quotes are used to clearly say an objective or even a goal to reach.

Quotes were used centuries ago,the quote written by Marianne Williamson is one of a kind,attractive quote. There is a direct point and clearly says the main objective of this quote. As an example,the sentence "it is not in some of us,it is in everyone" makes me think of different people around the world helping each other and aging many points in common,which could be anything. I've chosen the line because in my opinion it will help people to reach their goal or objective. It can also help people not to be afraid of other people or things and that being scared is a fear that many people have.

Perfect But Hidden: By Allison Grannary

Have you ever noticed how children find themselves pretty and perfect, while adults and teenagers aren't able to feel like this? We shouldn't change, we should want to stay the same. Most of us grew scared of our individual qualities is the worst thing that we could do for our society. People tend to hide their best features to fit in and to be accepted as "normal",but we do it unconsiously. Being awesome and knowing it isn't a shame. Why do we follow others path instead of making our own? The fact is that we are all unique.The line that made me think most in the quote is: "we are all meant to shine,as children do". I instantly pictured my sisters when they used to be proud of their looks and used to preform shows to the whole family. Then, they started noticing how people judge eachother and they stopped performing for the family. This probably happened as a result of their selfconciousness being more developed. We should show people to be themselves, it's the best thing to do for their loved ones and themselves.

Our Light: By William Tremblay

Image taken from Google images What quote would be good for you? A good quote for you would be Marianne Williamson's quote about our deepest fear. I know this quote is good for you because everyone can relate to it because everyone has fears and everyone hides something about their personality. I can directly relate to this quote because for a long time I was saying to my classmates that I was bad at math meanwhile I had an 80% average in math. An other thing I can relate the quote to is this picture( picture of makeup) because makeup covers up your face it f hides your true face. The reason I can relate the picture and the quote is that the quote says to be yourself and makeup is hiding yourself and being superficial about how you look like. A part of the quote that helped me a lot of finding the meaning which is to be yourself is, Williamson's " Your playing does not serve the world". Finally did you ever think, life without fears?

The Copy, of a Copy By: Megane Gagne Tremblay

Imagine a world where everyone is the same. Everyone all acts the same, dress the same, but mostly, act the same. It’s imaginable that that’s what’s going to happen. For the quote; `` Our Deepest Fear```, written by Marianne Williamson, made me realized that many people are afraid to show who they are, afraid of what the others might think. When in fact, everyone must do the opposite, since trying to be someone else won’t change anything. There is nothing good about hiding who you really are. Everyone needs to be proud of who and what they are, for fear shouldn’t be felt in something small like that. It should be felt when you’re actually being rejected, not before. As Marianne Williamson so perfectly said;

"we are all meant to shine, as children do."  

This simply means that when we’re kids, we aren’t afraid of other people’s judgements, because we were still so young and innocent. Photograph is a good way to re-do these childhood memories. We need to do the same when we grow up! Just like in these pictures, do what you want! Be who you are! Don’t be ashamed or scared of what some people think. It is those who time waste their time to be someone else, who should be scared of being the ``copy`` of a ``copy``.

 

The One and Only Meaning: Sam R.

Most quotes are based on one meaning, which the goal is to find that meaningfull phrase. But in the quote "our deepest fear", written by Marianne Williamson, the goal is to find the perfect meaning, among all the others because this quote is a meaningfull piece of art that explains thousands of things at once.1.The meaning in this quote that can best be started is always give your 100% because the author Williamson said at repetitive times that you should always do your best because "We are all meant to shine", which means that everyone can make a change if they give their best in everything.2.My chosen line in this quote "your playing small does not serve the world" means that what you do affects others too because playing small doesn't help anyone. I can connect this easily to my life when my friends or my family want me to do something and I do the least I can, well it doesn't help them, so that would be me playing small. It's relevant that doing your best will create a change that will then help others.It connects to the meaning because everyone can do their best and not giving the less they can.3.I would chose an image illustrating someone, somehow giving his best and this will affect other
people, a community and that will then affect the world, globally.Our deepest fear, written by Marianne Williamson is a meaningfull quote that connects to alot of things at once and that can affect is mentally too, like giving your best, which many people do in reality.

Blogs are so Annoying; So Why are You Reading This? By: Félix Bouchard

Why are you reading this? Blogs are annoying they're the new way of publicly giving your opinion, but hiding behind a computer doing so. It's like having a conversation with someone; the subject might be interesting but someone's opinion doesn't make it factual, therefore pointless.

"Blogging" is about sharing your thoughts on the internet, and obviously not all blogs are about happy thoughts. Many blogs are hateful. Bloggers hide behind computers to publicly bash on things. Sounds like Cyber bullying to me, but because it's a blog that makes it ok and funny. If people are offended all they can do is write a response, but the thing is that sticks and stones can hurt, but words can't.

As I've said blogs are about reading a someone's ideas, a little like having a conversation with someone. The thing is, thoughts aren't facts. Reading a blog is reading a stranger's opinion about something. This stranger could be a terrorist, a klan member or a prisoner brain washing people.

In conclusion, I believe that reading a stranger's opinion is ridiculous, the person on the other side of that computer might be a Taliban for all you know, and if he is a Taliban brainwashing everybody you can't do anything about it. Blogs are annoying because everybody talks about how great they are, but honestly; They are Useless.

Is Cursive Nessasary ?

Cursive is not only faster to write, but has benefits that go to the brain. Cursiveneeds to be taught! Cursive writing has so many advantages ! This is why it should be taught in every elementary school. I learn't cursive cursive in elementary school and it was VERY helpful!

Cursive develops the brain in a lot of positive ways. The development of the brain is very important and helpful. Science writer Maria Konnikova even says that " children not only learn to read more quickly when they first learn cursive but they also remain better at generating ideas and retaining information." In other words it's not only what we write that counts -- but how. I think this is a perfect example of one of the Benefits of cursive other than "it's faster". Psychologists discovered that cursive lights up three areas in the brain compared to when you type there is much less. Cursive is really an advantage to know how to write with, which is worth teaching in schools! It is definitely not a waste of time! We should ant to develop our brain the most we can.

Personally I have had many experiences with cursive and I know it's benificial. I've seen how cursive is helpful because I just recently learnt cursive and have really seen a difference, not only in the neatness of my handwriting but I can finally read my grandmothers birthday cards. Cursive writing compared to printing is more beneficial because the movement task is more demanding. The letters are less stereotypical , and the visual recognition requirements create a broader repertoire of letter representation. Cursive is more demanding for the brain therefor creates a challenge, this makes the brain used to challenges and that's why it should be taught.

To finish it all off cursive is important and should stay a known form of writing. Cursive challenges the brain therefor training it to become better. It also helps to develop the brain which everybody want, because the development of the brain is very important. Cursive should be brought back in all schools, so that's we can keep getting smarter!

Cheerleading: Sport or Activity? By Christopher Cusson

Every year, cheerleaders get concussions, break bones or even die. All this due to the lack of good staff and training. Cheerleading should be recognized as a sport. They do compétitions and contests, the cheerleaders are skillful and athletic. Also, by recognizing it as a sport, it would allow teams, or squads, to have good coaches and Equipment. I have a sister that did cheerleading, but she didn't have a specialized coach this year, so there is no cheerleading at her school this year.

First of all, many people say that cheerleading is not a sport, because they wear makeup, and say tey don't do much physical activity. These people don't even deserve to be taken in consideration, because makeup is part of the uniform, and the cheerleaders work so hard you can't imagine how strong they are.

Secondly, in the dictionary, sport is defined as "an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess, and OFTEN of a competitive nature." The cheerleaders surely do have skills, and many squads do compete in events and contests. Some squads don't but, OFTEN they do. So why not call it a sport?

Lastly, by recognizing it as a sport, we are opening a doorway to sponsorships and the opportunity of having specialized coaches and staff at schools. This would allow the cheerleaders to have good coaching, and prevent them from getting injured during a stunt which they are not ready for, or need more practice on.

As you can see, there is no reason why cheerleading is not a sport, so this is why we should recognize it as a sport. The athlètes are skillful and the activity is competitive, but it also would prevent them from getting injured during practices or compétitions. Let's not wait for another cheerleader to break her neck or get a concussion, let's recognize the sport of cheerleading!

What Do You Think Is Annoying? By Xavier Simard

    Are there things that annoy you? Do you want the annoying things to stop? Then make a complaint or write a blog about it.

    I am introducing 3 things that I find annoying: Teachers, disturbing/loud sounds, and people.

    I think everything is annoying. Teachers never stop talking and its always work work work, so I find them annoying. Sounds are annoying because you can't sleep or focus, and things like loud music can hurt your ears. People and sounds are annoying because lots of things like loud music or people talking non stop loudly, or parents or people yelling at each other makes me angry and makes want to go shut them up while trying to fix their problems, which I usually do for my family who yell at each other sometimes, this is one reason why sounds and people are annoying.

    Are there things that annoy you? Like not understanding what a good friend of yours says or what he/she finds cool for example, or sounds or people that are annoying? Then you should tell them to stop or lower the sound, or ask your good friend to have him/her help you understand, you'll feel a lot better then taking out pent up anger and going into a short frenzy on them. Writings things that annoy you and posting it online can help release anger too (probably), and have people understand you better.

    Are there things that annoy you? Do you want the annoying things to stop? Then make a complaint, write a blog about it, or do something about it. The 3 arguments I introduced are things I or other people also find annoying, like teachers, sounds, and people. I think if there was something that annoyed me, I'd make it stop, polite or not, or endure and ignore it.

What do you know about the world by Marc-Antoine Déry

What do you think about getting about other people in the world ? 300 000 civilians are stuck in a rebel-held area in Aleppo, Syria, but did you knew it it. In all most every part of the world tradgedie, sadness, luck, violance and goodness are happening every day and all most 50% of the world don’t know about it. At first Tony Maddox the executive vice president of CNN said that in only 3 mounth he full the year planning. Because that he found so muche vent in other country. And because if we are inform of some tradgedie we could  help solving them. ‘’This is the first time when the judicious investment we’vemade in a proper international infrastructure are paying off, ‘’ Mr.Maddox Said.

In this world their is more n 50 country but more than 80% of the population don’t know more than 30of them. Did you know that in china a 6 years old boy was crossing a street and got hit by a car and no one was helping him. But every one were walking beside him like if they didn’t saw anything. I persenelly don’t think that this is even possible. I found strange that if you know that their is more than 300 000 civilians that are stuck in a rebel city you don’t give your best to help them out. And like Tony Maddox was saying there is so information that need to be eart but no one cares about them.  I found this sad for those people that cannot get ear when they want to say some thing importent about something that they found strange or sad.

Their is a lot of country, city region that are mistreted by bid company and powerful people. In soem country city are even controlled by company because they have money. And what I think is the worst in thst situation is the fact that they also control the pupolation of that city. In some country it’s even worst because people are loosing their right’s becauser of those incomprensive act. Like Tony Maddox was saying some time’s a simple act form an outside person or group can save a situation.If you check out this link (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/21/business/media/21press.html?_r=0) you will see what i mean.We could be in power to help them out but we are not informed of what is going on in the world. I fin dit really stupid that because we are not informed we cannot help other’s.

I think thet it is stupid that some of us are stop to help other because they are not informed enought. In conclusion some of us are mistreated all around the world by companies and people with power. But becasue we are not informe about what is going on in the world we can’t help them. 300 000 civilian are stuck in a rebel-held area in Aleppo, Syria, but did you knew it.
