Dr. Suess once said "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter"
* What do you think this quote means? Relate this quote to an event in your life or to something you have seen someone else experience and explain the relation using examples.
What I think this quote means is that you should be a leader not a follower. Never do the things you see your friends do or try to copy their personality . Always be yourself no matter what and it doesn't matter what people think of you. Being yourself is like being truthful to the world because they know that you are not afraid of being yourself. This relates to my life because some people in my school today try to fit in with other people and are afraid to be themselves because they don't want people to know who they really are. I just go to school being myself not caring what other people think of me. Pretending to be who you are not is like lying to the world and being fake to other people while you are being fake to yourself.
ReplyDeleteI agree I think you should be a leader and nor a follower to. I think you can do the things your friends do if there not bad but I'd is bad advise them nor to do it. Also I agree that you should be your self no matter what people think. And again I agree that being yourself is like being truthful to the world's.
DeleteDr. Seuss once said "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter" This quote has a very strong meaning to all of those who read it because it lets them know that the people in there life that matter to them wont mind what they do or say. Those people that always mind and care about how you act or speak shouldn’t matter to you because they aren’t really there for you they aren’t real friends and are people that will just use you and abuse you. The people that don’t care about how you act like you for who you are and aren’t using you. This quote can relate to my life because I once had a friend who would always feel awkward around me and would hate it when I would act crazy. I soon decided that someone who wasn’t ok with me being myself and decided I need to get a new friend. This quote can help many people who can’t be them because they are afraid that their friends will judge them if they are themselves. The people that are out there should pay attention to this quote and always remember that no matter what always be yourself.
ReplyDeleteI agree.Those who really care about you will not mind or care how you act.They aren't really friends if they care about who you are.
DeleteDr.Suess once said, "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter". I believe by this he means,that if you say and act what you feel because people that accept you are your real friends,while people that insult based off your opion doesn't matter because they're not your real friends.In short terms, be true to yourself. This quote can relate to anyone.Personally, sometimes I hold back words and shallow them because I'm afraid that if other don't like what I say. Im afraid that they'll just make fun of me or think I'm a idiot.This quote can also relate to others.For example, my friend goes through the world not caring what people think of her and in return all of her friends are true.She doesn't care if people don't like what she is wearing or like whats she says.In the end, always be true to yourself and ignore what people think.
ReplyDeleteI agree I feel it is hard to be your self with people that judge on what doesn't matter and that focus on the differences instead of the similarities. The people that really love and care about you will stay with you even though you have differences. Every one cant be the same you'll have things the same and some will be different but true friends say what they want and get along. So we will ignore what other people think and be true to yourself !
DeleteI think this quote means don't follow others do what you want. If you follow others you are not your own person. I can relate to this bye one time I followed someone somewhere and I knew it was a bad idea but I went anyway. This was a bad choice because we got in a lot of trouble and I was grounded for 8 weeks. I wish I did not do that because that is 8 weeks of my life I will not get back. I also think this means no matter what u do it does not matter what people think of you. As long as you know u are doing the right thing. Don’t be afraid to speak your mind if people make fun of your for it then they r not true friend. If you try to be someone else it is like lying to your self. But you will never be yourself if you try to be someone else. This is what I think Dr. Seuss’s quote “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter. “I think this is a great quote. Also I wonder if he has anymore quotes.
ReplyDeleteI agree we should all be our own person not a follower. Following someone always leads to trouble even if it's your best friend. Even if it will make you "cool" doing the right thing is more important. Also yes I believe he has a bunch of more quotes if you google them.
DeleteDr.Suess once said "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter" In my opinion I think this means to act your self, because the people who accept you for who you are. Never hold back because you will feel lost and not feel like yourself, and hangout with people who don't really accept you. In my life I can relate. I can relate because my old friends used to like certain kind on music. Which is music Im not a fan of. I pretended I like the artists they like, but in reality I hated it. Every time we hung out they played the music and I just wanted to turn It off, but if I said something thing they would get offened and be mad. Long story short, be yourself and fake things you hate, you will have friends that like the same things and you can bee happy .
ReplyDeleteDr. Suess once said "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter". In my opinion I think that this quote means to be who you are. Don't be someone you are not. And the people cant accept who you are someone will. Be who you are. and that's exactly what you should do. Don't be a follower be a leader. Say what you want. If you like a certain type of music express it. We all have a different type of music but that doesn't mean that we cant get along. I can relate this to my life because many people will tell me why I like rap music. Or why I like a the type of shoes I wear. But I didn't care what people think about me. Because they are just trying to act tough by harassing me but am just going to ignore that, and keep moving ahead. So this quote just means that be who you are, don't change to be friends with someone. just stay the way your are. And be happy that you have friends that can accept things you say or like.
ReplyDeleteThat is so true and i think you are a great person with great taste and even tho im not a big fan of rap or the type of shoes you ware we are still friends and we always will be you are like a brother to me and dont tell carlos
DeleteI think the quote by Doctor Seuss "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter" means say what you want to say and be the person you are. If the person actually likes or cares for you they won't mind what you have to say. If they do mind you should not care about that person because they probably don't care about you or are a bad friend. For example if i were to say i like reading my true friends who care about me would not care that i like reading. My not so true friends might say reading is for dorks or nerds and those people are not going to matter to me in the next year or so because there not my true friend. Another example would be lets say i am not a huge fan of Art my true friends would really not care if i like art or not but my not so good friend the one who won't matter to me in the next year or so may say well i love art and I think you not cool for not liking art. One last final example would be if someone was into chess. Like always your true friend or the person who matters is not going to care if you like chess. The person who will not matter will say chess is nerdy and you need to find a new hobby. So be yourself because if you listen to the person who will not matter in the next year or two you may become the person who is bad at reading because some one told you it is lame or the person who has no opinions because he is scared someone might think he is not cool or the person who cant play chess or any game because it may be to nerdy. You might just become that person who does not matter yourself.
ReplyDeleteI think you made a really good point about the fact that people who say something negitive most likely matter in the next couple years or so. I also think you made a very good point when you said to be careful that you don't end up as someone who doesn't matter to someone else.
DeleteDr. Suess once said "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter" What I think what he meant by this quote was to express yourself, and be who you are. The people who matter wont care if you be yourself around them. You can be who you want to be, and goof around with not worrying what they think because they’ll be right along with you acting goofy. What I think he means by saying those that mind don’t matter. Is the people you cant be goofy around and be yourself. DO NOT MATTER!!! If you can’t express how you feel and be who you are around people that mind and talk about you for being yourself. Don’t matter at all! The people you fake who you are around aren’t the people who matter. The ones that matter are those friends who you can do anything around and they wont judge you. Are those people you want to have more in your life because then you get to be yourself. How this can relate to me! Is school! Schools have clichés which you act and are a certain way to be in one of those clichés. So people that listen to certain music can get along and be in a cliché. Also, the popular kids sometimes there really mean stuck up girls who think everything’s about them. But being popular I think means being nice and being friends with everyone. So a lot of clichés revolve around certain music, clothes, popularity. If you are in a certain cliché that can mean that those people matter to you and you can be yourself around them at all times.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this because its true to express your feelings, and be who are around people that accept you for who you are.
DeleteI think that it means that be who you want to be not what everyone else wants you too because it doesnt mater what others think of you because you are they only you. Only you makes a perfect you. Some times i feel like the real me is just not cool. But then i think of all the friends i have and that i am the only jacob fisher who loves animals and wants to become a zoologist and save indangered species who has great friends and a great personality and who cant be replaced. When Dr. Seus wrote that quote he was talking to the people who are self conscious and take what others say to heart and start telling them selves all there flaws and forget all the good things about them. Then they change and start acting really shy and stop talking to people and start loosing friends and then feel worse. Remember the saying "when life gives you lemons you make lemonade" and that means make that bad thing a good thing by thinking positive if you don't catch the ball in baseball and you lose just look back at that moment and laugh and learn from your mastakes and practice hard because every day may not be good but there something good in everyday. I think he wrote that quote because to tell the people who get bullyed or critasized that there are people who care like your family your family will always be there for you even if you fight they love you even if they don't say it they do even your anoying older sister or brother even tho they never want you in there room or always pic on you its just though love. Hey look at lady gaga she was picked on in school but look at her now she rich and famous just remember that one day that could be you rich and famous and you probaly will never see those nastey people in your life ever again if you hangout with the right people.
ReplyDeleteI think you are right. You should be who you are right now. Don't be someone else who you do not want to be. Be yourself. Don't change for no body. This quote does show some meaning because it states that the people who you are friends with won't mind what you say or do. And those who do mind wil
DeleteDr.sues once said ''Be what you want and say what you feel because those who matter don't mind and those who don't don't matter." What I think this quote mean is if you have an opinion about something say it because those people who care and support you will listen to you and take in what your thoughts are and those who don't care don't matter because they can think what they want but they will never mean anything to you later in life so it doesn't matter what they say. Something I heard about was when Martin Luther King had his one speech the people that didn't mind or actually listened and supported him but the people that doesn't support he didn't care about but unfortunately one of the people that didn't support him winded up killing him. Another example is when somebody is running for an election they will have a speech or something and the people that support him/her will vote and the people that don't won't.
ReplyDeleteI agree people should be ablow to speak there minds and not have to worry. Everyone should just be themslefs and just not care what people thing
DeleteI agree with you, people should be able to say what they want. Also they shouldn't be afraid to do anything. Another thing is I agree that people shouldn't listen to other people and should take their own advice
DeleteDr. Suess said the quote ''Be what you want and say what you feel because those who matter don't mind and those who don't don't matter." I think this quote is saying to be what you want in life and do what you enjoy. I think this because Dr. Suess wants us to be what we want when we grow up and we will enjoy life a lot more. Another reason I think this is because Dr. Suess to us to say what you feel. This is the second of third part of the third part of the quote he stated and it is saying to tell people how you feel about things and to speak up if you dont like somthing or have to add somthing. The third and final part of one of many of Dr. Suess's quotes means that people who care about you will understand why you dont like somthing and the people who completely ignore and isolate you dont really matter and they dont really care about your opinion and how you feel about somthing.
ReplyDeleteDr. Suess has made many good quotes that kids and his reading audience didnt really understand at a young age, but when you get older and you read his messages they really mean really important things that have potential to change lives. Dr. Suess was a legendary author and has also made legendary quotes that mean really important messages and I reccomend to read more of his life changing quotes.
I think the quote “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter” by Dr. Suess means that you should be your own person and that other peoples opinion doesn’t matter and real friends don’t care . People that truly care about you will look over the thing that you disagree on and focus on the things that you agree and get along with. People that don’t matter will leave and with the options that don’t matter to you. The ones that don’t care what your opinion is will sick by you for many years no matter what your opinion is.
ReplyDeleteThis quote can relate to me because my friend and I would always fight. We have different music opinions and at first we used to argue about it. We would fight for hours over what band is better. Sometimes we would throw things and get really violent. It was really bad but we soon learned that our friendship is more important than a dumb band. We learned to be who we are and agree that we love each other and that we have more important things to do and talk about than fighting over stupid things such as bands.
I agree with you. My comment was very similar to your comment and many others in the class. Many people think the quote means is to be yourself, which is correct. I also agree that the people that truely care about you wont judge you in a bad way and see the positives in a person instead of highliting the negatives and only seeing the bad things instead of the good qualities a person has.
DeleteWhat I think this qoute means is that don't ever be or pretend to be something your not. Always be the person who you really are. Necer act like someone for popularity it anything. If your friends or people can't accept you for you then they do not deserve someone as good as you. Everyone is unique in their own way why would you be someone else if you can just be yourself? Never be afraid of being who you really are because of who you really are is what really matters not who you pretend to be for popularity. Like for example if your friends think it's cool To do drugs and stuff and they want you to do and you pretend to be that person who does then that's your fault if you get in trouble or whatever. This is how I interpret the quote and think that you should always be you and never be someone that you're not.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. I think you should be who you are and not to act like other people.If your friends dont accept you for you then you shouldnt be with them. I think you are completley right. Also you shouldnt be afraid of who you are.I think your example is so true. so many kids pretend to be something there not.
DeleteDr. Suess once said "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter." I think that this quote means you shouldn't act like someone your not. You should set good examples instead of follow bad examples. Don't follow people to become popular. You should just be who you are. If your friends don't accept you for you then they aren't really your true friends. Pick a group that accepts you for you and be friends with them because that is who you belong to be with. This quote relates to my life because my one friend and i would always hang out. Then all of a sudden we just stopped talking for a couple years. And he started hanging out with other people and so did i. Then all of a sudden we just started to talk and hang out more. Next thing i new he wasnt hanging out with the friends he went to go hang out with anymore. And i think he relized that those werent his true friends. And now we are friends again and everything is back to normal. So that is what i mean by if your friends dont accept you for who you are then they arent your real friends. That is what i thought this quote meant.
ReplyDeleteI think the quote "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter" by Doctor Suess, means be your self and your true fiends will become apparent to you. Misbehavior and acting out is a student's mistaken attempt of gaining status and respect. People act differently to look cool and popular, but all it does is make you look stupid and get you in trouble. This quote is a great quote to live by, it will make you a better person and peer. If people insult, judge and dislike you because of what you say or think. then they don't matter. They will just bring trouble. I can relate to this quote because some of thinks I want to say I don't because i'm unsure how people what people will think of me. I'm scared I'll lose friends for being me. Many people our age act differently in front of their different groups of friends because of what they think is socially acceptable. It's not just people that do this anymore, its society. It's what society thinks is socially acceptable and whats not. The news controls a lot of that by not showing us many things that aren't acceptable. Just be true to yourself and you'll be great.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you completely on this. if you act like someone you aren't your going to be hanging around people your not going to like.If you act like yourself you'll meet the friends you have most in common. If you act like someone you are not it will only lead you down a bad path.
DeleteDr. Suess, once said "be who you are and say what you feel because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter". I think this quote means be yourself and don't treat people the way you wanted to be treated. you should always speak your mind and forever hold your peace,you never should feel ashamed if someone is talking about you , you have all the time to go and tell them or have a conversation. your opinion or your side of the story. the enemies are looking for trouble because they think it will make them look cool but it really doesnt, youll end up in soo much trouble. sometimes you have to realize who your true friends are and who aren't true , because you should always watch what you say around them because they can suddenly change in a heart beat . theirs no one on this earth that should make you change the way you are to be like them apparently they want you to be bystanders , you should always let someone know about your situation cause you cant hold it in forever. people don't care if you cry the'll sit their and laugh and say " i don't care, she can cry all she wants", like you should never judge a book by its cover because open your eyes , you aren't that perfect or bright either. my opinion this is , if you honestly don't know what a bestfriend is you should claim someone who isn't that true and loyal.
ReplyDeleteI think that dr. Suess was correct when he said that be who you are and say what you feel because those who madder don't mind and those who mind don't madder. For example if you werer to say something realy insane people will probably judge you but if you were to have people with you that truly madder they wont care or will say something crazy with you. If you tell them something crazy it is possible you thing they will get mad or judge you but that's only because they care about you. If the world was filled with people who only judged and had no feeling towed each other our world would basically be over run by stupid cold meaningless, fearless, and feeling less robots. Our world as we know it is alredy bad as it is so why should we just make it worst by not caring about someone and leaving them in the cold when they are in barest. Like I saw on Facebook today this guy made a deal with his friend before he went into the military and it was if he were to die wial on duty his friend were to were a dress to his funeral. Unforchntly he did die and his friend knew what he had to do so he found a dress and wore it to the funeral. His best friend and hero made to ultimate sacrifice so what is a little of someone's dignity. He showed what a true friend is and that I think is what dr. Suess meant by this quote.
ReplyDeleteDr. Suess once said "Be who you are and say what you want because those who who matter won't mind and those who matter don't mind." I agree with this quote because it is very important to know who's opinion to take seriously and who's not. For example, if you tell someone that you don't really like star wars and they told you that the fact you don't like those movies is stupid, their opinion really shouldn't matter to you. However, your true friends will except that about you and move on with your friendship. Another example is that when my best friend and I were about 7 years old, she wanted to play hide-n-seek. But being the uncooperative kid I was, I told her hide-n-seek was for little kids. Since we were so young, you would think we would get into a fight about it and would eventually have to get our moms' involved. However, she just excepted the fact that I didn't want to play and we went on with our play date. As you can see, we were the best of friends and still are to this day. So the main point of this paragraph is to explain that no matter how careful you think you are with choosing your friends, there will always be someone who's opinion doesn't matter and someone who doesn't matter as much you may think they do. So if someone doesn't aprove of something that's important to you, just try to keep Dr. Suess' wise words in the back of your mind.
ReplyDeleteI think the quote by Dr. Seuss "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter" is something that I agree with in part but not totally. The part I agree with is that you really should be yourself and not try to change your basic personality or beliefs because someone does or does not agree with your position. In my opinion we have too many political people who try to do too much of this to be elected. I think it is important to be true to your family, your values, your interests and your beliefs.
ReplyDeleteWhat I do not agree with is that people who do not agree with your beliefs, actions or interests do not mean anything. I believe that they are people and that they do matter. I would not do anything to hurt them but I would be true to who I am. They are entitled to their opinions in a way equal to my opinions. In this way, I can still be friendly to these people even though I do not expect them to change or conform no more than I would intend to change or conform to their opinions. Part of this is good as it will cause an exchange of ideas but there should be no pressure on one or the other to conform to the others views or actions. So even if a person does not agree with you it doesn’t mean that they don’t matter. In fact you can and should respect them even if they end up not being a good friend.
