Good Ole Abe
Today I was just sitting in my room, readint the Brian story from our In Fact book. Though it was so super interesting and way fun to read, somehow my mind began to wander. I soon zoned out of the story and stared out of my window, thinking, just thinking. Lost in my own thoughts... For some random reason an Abraham Lincoln quote popped into my head, "Whatever you are, be a good one" is the quote. I started thinking about this quote and what exactly it meant. whatever you are... be a good one? Ummm.. okay, that is a kind of dumb thing to say, but as I thought on it deeper, i figured it out. "Whatever you are"... so no matter what job or field you chose, wether you become president, are a butcher, a plumber, an actor/actress, a waiter/waitress, or are the person who sucks out the porta potties at fairs.. it doesn't matter. "...be a good one"... this pretty much means to do yoyr best, obviously. so all in all the quote, "Whatever you are, be a good one" means that whatevr you are, whoever you are, from very important to only known by your family, be good at it. Be your best you, that is all one can really ask, you know? I mean, I think Lincoln had it right when he said that, because it doesn't matter what you are as long as you do it with all of your will and use all of your power and might to be good at it. Do something you like, and you are bound to be better at it.
