Thesis

In general, people spend too much time worrying about the future, the way they are perceived, and the fear of failing. All of these worries and fears prevent success and inevitably lead to stress, unhappiness, and failure of reaching one’s full potential. By stepping out of a comfort zone, those worries are erased while one experiences change, excitement, and breakthroughs.

Personal Relevance

“True terror is to wake up one morning and

discover that your high school class is

running the country.” -Kurt Vonnegut

Ode I XI

“...Sapias, vina liques,

et spatio brevi spem longam reseces;

dum loquimur,

fugerit invida aetas: carpe diem quam nimium credula postero.”



http://faculty.frostburg.edu/phil/forum/DeadPoets.htm

• “...Be wise, strain the wine;

and since life is brief, prune back far-reaching hopes.

Even while we speak,

envious time has passed:

pluck the day,

trusting as little as possible

in the tomorrow.”
