"Responsibility"
By:Tori Small
"Life is no breif candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations."

-George Bernard Shaw
(1856- 1950)
(Irish born playwright, founder of "Fabian Society")

I chose this qoute because I felt I could relate to it better then all of the other qoutes, but I mostly liked this qoute because it represents how I would like to live my life. I beleive your life is what you make of it and you need to take responsibility to become the best person you can be so that your life will be rememebered and smiled upon, not shunned and forgotten. I dont want people to pity me when I die for ending up just another somebody, I want to be rememebered. To be rememebered I must take initiative, responsibility, to become something, to go out and be. Everyone should do this, there is no excuse for not doing what needs to be done to be known and remembered as you want to be. No one wants to live the life the slacker ends up with, no one wants to end up with no choices, no choice but a dead end life. Every one should be remembered for something great, everyone should go out and do what it takes to become everything they want to be,there is no sitting around and waiting for it to happen.
