Personally, I think that the quote “Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything”, is very true. When you go through school, you should always have that friend that you can count on, and they should know that they can always count on you for help with any problem or issue that they may be having.. Friendship, to me, means you have someone that you can tell all of your deepest and darkest secretes with and know that you can trust them not to tell anyone. Also, I think friendship allows you to open up to someone. Unfortunately, some people don’t have a friend that they can have that solid friendship with, so they don’t really learn what friendship actually is. I think it is important to know what friendship is growing up because it allows you to know how to open up with people and learn how to trust. Lacking trust in people can affect you throughout your whole life, and it can cause lots of anxiety and other problems. There can be a lot of security in friendship. I think that before you get to school, you should know what a friendship is, so that you can know how to make friends and you build a great and solid friendship. If you can learn how to have a friendship you can be more of a well rounded person.

ReplyDeleteFriendship is one of the most important things in life. What I believe Muhammad Ali is trying to say is that a person can learn general knowledge and be smart but there are more important things in life to learn about such as friendship. Someone could live a life full of knowledge but it isn’t much good when there’s nobody to share it with. So if you don’t learn about friendship than your not really learning anything because even if you know a lot of knowledge it doesn’t amount to anything if nobody knows it. Also, friendship is not something you can learn about from a book. Friendship is something that is learned from experience. You can’t learn friendship through a textbook. I do believe you can learn friendship through school though. Although cheating is wrong it is kind of a form a friendship. If someone is a good enough friend that they let you cheat of them even though there is a risk of getting in trouble. That is a form of friendship. Also the cheater has to be a good enough friend to trust that their friend’s work is good enough to cheat off of. Now I’m not saying go out and cheat to learn about friendship. I’m just saying that cheating is sort of a form of friendship and that forms of friendship can be found in school. What Muhammad Ali is saying though is that it can’t be learned like any general knowledge. Friendship is a life experience.

To me Ali thinks that friendship is one of the most important things someone needs to figure out but it’s not something that can be taught in a textbook or by your teacher. Its one of those things that you have to figure out on your own. And if you don’t ever figure it out you don’t know what friends are for or the true meaning of friendship. To me friendship is an unbreakable bond between a group of people that do allot together sometimes friends are closer that brothers and sisters. Especially me and my sister, me and my sister don’t get along half of the time. I think friends are the people who will drop what they are doing to help you out. Or will talk to you when you’re having a bad day, or they don’t get all pissy when you make a joke or pull a joke on or about them. A real friend will look stupid with you in stead of making fun of you while you look stupid. A real friend will throw footballs and volleyballs at bees nest with you. These are just a few things that make up a good friend in my eyes it varies from person to person but this is one of toughs things that u can be tought in school or read about, its one of thing things that you have to figure out on your own and if you don’t you haven’t learned anything and is just coming of as stupid.
The quote by Muhammad Ali stating, "friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain" is a good one in my opinion. Trying to explain friendship to someone is hard because the idea of friendship can be different in each person’s point of view. Someone might think that a friend is someone who is always there for you but then another person might think a good friend is someone who can keep secrets. I think a friend is someone who you can be yourself around and you don’t have to worry about them spreading rumors or other forms of lies. I also agree with Muhammad Ali about friendship not being something you learn in school. Friendship is something you have to learn on your own time because you have to discover it on your own instead of learning from someone else’s experiences. He also said if you don’t know what friendship is, then you have not learned anything. I think this is also true because friendship is essential to life I think. The reason I think that is because if you have friends it seems to make things easier than if you try to do everything alone. In general I think having friends can improve someone’s life in many ways. You can have friends’ help you accomplish tasks or even help you learn how to do many things. If you have no friends your usually trying to do everything alone and sometimes unable to complete things that you may need help with.

ReplyDeleteI think this is a great quote. It talks about why people are afraid to do things. We think we don’t want to do something new because we won’t be good at it and fear judgment. The only reason we seem inadequate is because we are actually powerful beyond measure. A kid may not be that into sports but wants to try one in school, but doesn’t want to be made fun of for being bad, or being inadequate. If you think about it though, you really are afraid because you have the power to be good in anything and just don’t apply yourself. Same with someone who does badly in school, I would say ninety percent of the time it’s not because the student is dumb, but because they don’t try or apply themselves. We as humans rarely have something we cannot learn and accomplish over time. We are the top species because we have the brains to overcome and adapt and learn new skills to make life easier. If you’re overweight, it’s not embarrassing because you’re fat, but because you could be skinny. Anything is within our reach we just may have to push a little farther to get to it. I think this quote fits a lot of people’s problems and could help them get in a mindset to fix them by putting stuff in perspective.
"Friendship...is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything." -Muhammad Ali
ReplyDeleteThis quote by Muhammad Ali says something powerful that people don't really think about very often. What I think Muhammad Ali is trying to ask is what would you do without friends? Like Ali said, other people don't tell you who your friends are. Your teacher doesn't tell you who your friends are going to be. Instead, you choose your friends based on what you think of them. If they have the same common interests as you, if they are nice people, or if they are just plain fun to be around. Once you have chosen your friends and hang out with them everyday of your life, you have the tendency to forget how much of an impact they actually have on your life. As I sit here and think about what Ali is saying in this quote, I realize how true this quote actually is. If you had to go through life without any friends, you would miss out on a lot of great experiences. What I think Ali is mainly aiming this quote at is the ability to have a little give with your friends. In order to keep a true friendship you have to be able to cooperate with your friends. If you cant come to a compromise with your friends you don't have a true friendship. You have to be able to do things your friends like to do, and sometimes your friends should do some things you like to do. For example, Dylan hates baseball. However, he made a deal that he would play catch with me and see how it goes. After he played catch, he decided baseball still wasn't the sport for him. But the fact that he gave it a try is what matters. Because baseball is something I like to do, and the fact that I kept bugging him to, he gave it a shot. If you ask me, that is a great example of friendship.

I think this quote is difficult to understand, but once you realize what it means it represents something important in your life. No teacher stands at the front of the class and explains what friendship is about. They don’t give notes over its definition or lecture on where friendship came from. Parents don’t sit their children down and discuss how to be a good friend, but everyone from the age of three to a hundred knows what friendship means. Every person in the world needs a close friend and needs to be a friend. It’s just like breathing; it’s something you need to survive. Children are born with the ability to be a friend, and that ability grows as they grow. Being a friend comes natural, but it also takes work to become the friend they want to be. Being a good friend starts with being a good person. A good friend is caring, trustworthy, and willing to help someone out when they need it.
The true meaning of friendship isn’t something that can be taught, though. I have a lot of good friends, and I know I can count on them to be there when I need them, but I didn’t learn the meaning of friendship from someone else. I learned it through warm summer afternoons at the beach and late-night game nights with all of my closest friends. These memories showed me that I need friends to get me through the day. Without friendship, there would be no memories, no fun times, no life in this world, and this is why the meaning of friendship is so important. Without friends, there would be nothing.

I would have to agree with this quote the most. It is very difficult to explain friendship. Especially when there are different kinds depending on the type of person. It’s something a teacher can teach you, or you can read and know how it is in books. I think usually friendships start before someone even gets to school. But someone is bound to make friends at school with all the people you are able to meet. Also friendships get tested at school, so you know who your true friends are after awhile. Friendship is really a basic I think. Friendship teaches so much about respect, trustworthiness, and it teaches you a lot about yourself. Friends also influence your life a lot, for example the things you do and say. I catch myself at school sometimes when someone is not there its like I would be talking to them or something during this block. Also it gives you a social life, you can always talk to the person, or you can hang out with them when ever. If a person is lacking friendship I would agree with the end of the quote partially of not knowing what it is like not to know what friendship is. Not necessarily how he quoted a person has not learned anything.
Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything. ~Muhammad Ali
ReplyDeleteIn this quote by Muhammad Ali, I think he is trying to send a message that friendship is one of the most important things to learn in life. In other words, yes in school you learn about math and grammar, but friendship is not something you can use a book to study for. Friendship is gained by the way you portray yourself; are you a nice and kind person, or rude and unsociable? The better attitude you have towards people, the more friends you are likely to have. In a way friendship is learned by how you were taught to behave, but choosing whether to use that is the real key. Opportunities are everywhere to gain friends. When you go through school, you will meet all kinds of people. It is up to you to choose whether or not you want to make friends. Although having friends is good for many reasons. Friends will help you get through the day if you are having a tough time, or they can make you laugh and have fun. The best memories come from time shared with friends. However, if you choose not to make friends, you are truly missing out. Muhammad Ali had a successful life, and when he looks back on it, he can credit his friends.

ReplyDeleteIn this he is saying that friendship is the most important thing to learn. It said if you haven’t learned friendship you haven’t learned anything. I think that is true because if you don’t have friends then you cant have fun with people or learn because you will just be sad. Im not very good at making friends I don’t like to talk to people that I don’t know but if I get on a role I can talk to people and if you find a person to talk to you can learn about them and maybe have a good friend ship out of it. Like with Kurtis I helped him with his boat trailer proly 3 years ago we have been best friends ever since. Now we do a lot together just cruze or I help him with stuff or he helps me. Or if we had a ruff time then we watch tv eat some food and do some funny stuff. We make fun of each other a lot that is about 90% of our friendship. I got him a girlfriend once and for that he bought me a box of shells. If that aint friendship I don’t know what is. So I do believe that if you have learned friendship then you haven’t learned anything. Thank you Cashous Clay or Muhammad Ali your great
Friendship is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything. - Mahammad Ali
ReplyDeleteI think this quote is actually pretty true because friendship is the most important thing to learn in life. If you haven’t learned friendship then you haven’t really learned anything because friends are people who love and care about you and will stand up for you whenever necessary, they’re always there when you need someone to talk to. The reason why I think its important is because if you are alone and have no one to talk to at the time that it is most needed you would start to feel miserable and feel like no one cares for you when your parents are never there for you. Especially if you have thoughts of suicide I think it would really help to have a friend there to stop you from doing something really stupid. I still have a few friends that I have been friends with ever since kindergarten which where I come from is actually really hard to keep friends for that long with out losing them over drama, rumors, boys, moving away, or even just growing apart. The ones that I have known since elementary I consider my best friends. I know that it doesn’t matter how long you’ve been friends with someone you could still make new friends that could be just as great as the ones you’ve known your whole life but I haven’t really made any new friends that are actually there as much as my old friends. I don’t think it’s about how many friends you have, it’s about how many friends will always be by your side no matter what, even if its just one.

ReplyDeleteThis quote is saying that friendship is not learned in school. I kind of agree, but I also kind of disagree. I agree because you don’t go to school to learn how to make friends and how to be a friend. Although you do not go to learn friendship specifically, attending school does help with the schools. For instance, a child that is home schooled does not get as much interaction with kids the same age as a child that attends school does. I think the child that attends public school will make more friends and learn how a friendship works.
I also disagree with the second part of the quote. It says, “But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you haven’t really learned anything.” Just because someone that has not learned the meaning of friendship, does not mean they have not learned anything. Friendship is an important thing to have. Friends will always be there for you even when others fail you. They help you through the tough times, listen to you, and even give you advice when you need it. Going through life without friends would be a difficult task for anyone. I think that person would feel alone, and not very well liked. In other words, learning the meaning of friendship is important. But it also does not mean you have not learned anything. I agree friendship is important, but I disagree with the fact it is not learned in school.

This quote is so true; you don't learn the meaning of friendship in school. It's not like its taught there...we learn to get along and how we should treat people, but that is not the meaning of friendship. I also cannot give you the meaning...I could tell you what I think it is...but is it really a definition for it? And yes it is a hard thing to explain. My example for that is if you have a love hate relationship with someone.... how do you explain that you are friends when you are arguing? Then later on you are talking about how one of you fell over the couch last weekend. That fall had you in tears of laughter. My next example is that weather or not you are friends or relative, friendship is also hard to explain. My sister and I do not get along. And I mean never!!! But when people see us talking and laughing they say, “since when did you guys get along?” Yes we are related in all and we have our spats…all the time!!!…But we still have a friendship that I cannot explain to you. Basically I am trying to say that if you don’t see what friendship is from experience then you wouldn’t know and if you have had any love hate relationship then you couldn’t really explain it!

School is for learning about subjects that we will use in the big world of careers. But doesn't friendship help aid us to those big careers? Isn't friendship around us everyday? So how come it is not a "school subject"? I belive friendship is not the hardest thing to explain, it's just that friendship has way too many explainations. Friendship involves trust. Friendship involves fun, and laughter. Friendship involves the bad and good memories. Friendship shows people in the world what another type of love is. I could keep going on, but the world might end before I finish. If you have no friends, which i highly doubt is the case to everyone that reads this blog, then you would not know what friendship is all about. And I would feel sorry for you and become your friend. If all you have done is study textbooks, eat, breathe, sleep, and avoid socializing, then you haven't learned much. Sure you can give me definitions of almost everything that makes up the world, but you wouldn't be able to explain to me what having a friendship is like. You wouldn't have felt the warmth in your heart rise when a friend makes you smile, or laugh. Or share with me good memories of a night where schooling didn't matter and you could careless if a book was thrown into a big angry fire because all that was on your mind was your friends and having a good time. Friendship is what seems all people throughout the world look for, and they do it without school, without books, and without much knowledge. You're on your own. To make friends, be yourself and show people what your personality is, and im willing to bet out of the 6 billion people in the world, 1 would build a frienship with you. Friendship(s) is/are amazing!!!

Marianne Williamson once said, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.” There are people in the world who are afraid to succeed. They are afraid of being the best. Why? Because some people think that if they are good others will expect more out of them. Then they have to worry about failing, and letting people down. Therefore, most people will not try their hardest at everything. If everyone was just mediocre at everything they do than not much would be expected from anyone. If nobody thinks you are good at something to begin with you cannot let them down. The fear of being bad and the fear of being good go hand in hand with each other. In order for someone to be afraid of doing badly at something they would have to be good at it already. For that reason, the person might actually be afraid succeeding even further for fear of failing. That makes the person afraid of being good. It does seem like kind of a confusing quote, but once you think about it, it all makes perfect sense. It does not seem likely that someone would be frightened by his or her powers. That would be something to want instead of hide from. I guess for some people the fear of failing overpowers wanting to succeed.
