Mr. Nathan Mayer has a saying that he lives by: “Live and let live.” Mr. Mayer says the term means, “You do your thing and don’t worry about other people doing their things and that they should do the same with you.”Sophomore Morgan Depoy, believes,” The fear of striking out will keep you from striking out.” She is not letting anything get in her way. Depoy’s saying means, “Like if you play baseball and you fear from striking out,then it’s going to keep you from playing the game.” There are opportunities in this world that people would like to see.
People use their sayings in everyday life. Mr. Mayer abides by his saying daily by,”Staying out of others business, I keep to myself because of that and I focus on me rather than things others are doing.” Senior Audra Lloyd’s explained her saying means, “Think before you speak, I feel relieved when I stop myself,” she said.
Quotes can come from a variety of places like television or the radio. Lloyd found her saying on a button, but she did not know who makes the button. Depoy head her saying in a movie she watched once. Senor Ashley Stokes, heard her saying,”It’s better to be hated for who you are then to be loved by who you’re not,” from a song.
Sometimes sayings can be wrong.“Not in my life, maybe in the real world,” Mayer says about his saying being wrong in his life whereas on the other hand Lloyd says, “There are times where I wish I would have spoken up.” According to Depoy, there are times where you can not disobey the quote. “There are times where you have to think logically about the quote,” says Depoy.
