“You’ll play football because you have guts.But do you know what really takes guts? Refusing to lower your standards to those of the crowd. It takes guts to say you've got to live and be somebody fifty years after all the football games are over.” Many people are afraid to stand out and make something of themselves because they are afraid of what people will think of them. But when you get older, none of the things people say about you now will be held against you later in life. So why not strive for greatness and try to better yourself for the future so you don’t get in bad habits now. Bad grammar, partying, drinking, ect. may make you seem “cool” now but they are going to affect you in future.
“If you don’t read, you can’t write, and if you can’t write, you might as well stop dreaming.” This is a huge statement in terms of schooling. Not only can this be taken seriously but can also be taken in a figurative way. Schooling in general follows this format, as do many things in life. If you don’t do this then you can’t do this. If you don’t go to school, you can’t go to college, and if you don’t go to college, you have a lower chance of getting a good, high paying job that you like. There is just a way of doing things in the world we live in and it comes in steps that you must follow.
