Read the quote below and discuss what it means to you in a brief paragraph. Think about the difference between ignorance and stupidity. Goethe references ignorance, not stupidity, that "kills countless ideas." What does Goethe believe to be essential in achieving one's dreams? Explain if you agree or disagree with him? Then comment back to two other postings.
Your initial response is due by August 5th.
Your responses to two other postings are due by August 7th.
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back-- Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now."
Goethe believes that you must not hesitate on your ideas and dreams. You must also be positive in what you are to do. I agree with Goethe's statement because you will not suceed if you dont have a plan set in mind.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Goethe. To me, this passage is saying that, until you truly commit yourself to something and if you are bold enough to go forth and do it then Providence moves will come too. But that's just in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Goethe's beliefs because I think that if you don't commit, then you won't achieve your goals. Also, ignorance means lack of knowledge and information so how can your ideas and plans grow and develop without enough knowledge and information?
ReplyDeleteDear Kmiyata,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your comment it simply sums up the main ideas of Goethe.Whatn do you think about his idea of being bold?
sincerely,
Lawson Fernandes
Dear KeannaK,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your opinion, because if your commiting to your goals then i believe that god will commit back to you and help you achieve that goal.
Sincerely,
Lawson Fernandes
Dear Lawson Fernandes
ReplyDeleteI think Goethe's idea of being bold is true because you should be willing to act and not be scared for you wll not succeed in any goal.

ReplyDeleteI agree with Goethe. In my opinion, I think he's trying to say that you should strive towards your goals because having goals makes a person work harder and hard work will always pay off in the end. Also, the result of a person's hard work could turn out to be beneficial in their life.
ReplyDeleteDear Lawson Fernandes,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your comment because commitment is a very imprtant key in achieving your goals. I also agree with you on the fact that ignorance means lack of knowledge because with ignorance there is no room in the person's mind to accept that that they are wrong or that there is another answer or way to solve a problem
Sincerely,
Kichelle "Kirakai" Momohara
I completely agree with Goethe. He believes that you should not hesitate on anything you love or dream of. Why would you not want to go for your dream? if you don't do anything about it you're not going to get anywhere. in my opinion, I think that you should never hold back. We only live once and we should enjoy every second. So come on people let your true beauty shine!
ReplyDeleteDear Kichelle,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your comment because I honestly think that when people do have goals they do work harder to reach for them and everybody loves that feeling of accomplishing something.
Sincerely,
Megan Alexson
I agree with Wolfgang because he says that we shouldn't hesitate to do what we want to or fulfill our dreams. So if you don't try, how would you know if it was meant to be or not? So basically, we shouldn't give up on our dreams no matter what the circumstances and we should strife to do our best to accomplish it.
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
Kuuipo Germo (Geri)
Dear Keanna,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your comment about how we shouldn't hesitate or procrastinate. Yeah, well I pretty much said the same thing so.... good job.
Sincerely,
Kuuipo Germo
Dear Megan,
ReplyDeleteI like how you wrote your ending sentence about letting your light shine. It was the perfect ending to the paragraph.
Sincerely,
Kuuipo Germo
Dear Ku'uipo,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your comment about fulfilling your dreams and not giving up not matter the circumstances.
Respectfully,
Keanna Kelekoma
i agree with wolfgang, when he says that we need to try to keep committed in order to be successful. But if you have ignorance theirs not going to be any chance for you to be successful. This is what i think he meant about his passage he wrote.
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
Jeiel hoapili
Dear Kuuipo,
ReplyDeleteI agree if you hesitate then how are you supposed to be successful. I think she meant to strive but that's true you need to have confidence in yourself.
Sincerely,
Jeiel Hoapili
Dear Mrs. Carlson,
ReplyDeleteGoathe begins by stating how ignorance and stupidity are not the same thing, but, he goes on to explain how complete trust in any action can allow a fate greater than individual explanation can occur from that mindset. Hesitance brings forth doubt and can ultimately keep dreams from coming true. Every idea is just an idea until it is taken to the next level. Be bold, and it will happen; maybe not how initially intended, but it can become a reality. This is just how I interpreted Goathe's thoughts.
Sincerely,
Ke'ala Lopez
Goeth Is simply stating that you must peruse your goals and dreams in life. When he says "Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it," he is saying you cannot sit around and expect things to happen, you need to make them happen. If it is something you truly desire, then you shouldn't give up no matter what kind of things get in your way. If It is your destiny, it will happen.
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
Evangeline Cook
Dear Kichelle,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you when you say a person having a goal will work harder and the hard work will pay off in the end and maybe beneficial to their life.
Respectfully,
Keanna Kelekoma
Dear Lawson Fernandes,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you in that the point he is getting across is that commitment will bring you closer to your dreams. In a sense, it's like commitment is the key to true success. I also agree that ignorance will defiantly get in the way of putting your dreams into action.
Sincerely,
Evangeline Cook
Dear Megan,
ReplyDeleteI completely agree on what you said about not giving up on what you belive in. I especially think that a dream is something you, and you alone, can achieve. By conforming to what others think about u, or what they think you should belive in, you are giving up on being an individual, and you are giving up on your own aspirations. Im glad you brought up that thought.
Sincerely,
Ke'ala Lopez
Dear Ken Miyata,
ReplyDeleteI fully agree with you that you need to have a positive attitude and outlook on what you are doing. I also agree that being hesitate will be a big problem and defiantly keep you away from perusing your dreams.
Sincerely,
Evangeline Cook
Dear Evangeline,
ReplyDeleteI love the way you said that. Yes, sitting around doing nothing will get you absolutely nowhere. "Begin it" and you can get where you want to be, with no one in your way.
Sincerely,
Ke'ala Lopez
I agree with Goethe's quote. I believe that he's saying that if someone takes the initiative and makes a strong commitment to his or her dream, they can and will achieve that dream. I agree when he says that ignorance kills countless ideas and splendid plans. If someone just sits around and ignores his or her dream and doesn't do anything about it, they'll just wind up asking themselves years later, "What if?"
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
Kierstyn Oshita
Dear Ke'ala,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the way you interpreted Goathe's quote. I totally agree with you when you said that every idea is just an idea until it is taken to the next level. If someone has a goal, they should step up and take the initiative in order to reach that goal.
Sincerely,
Kierstyn Oshita
Goethe has a very interesting point. The reason I say this is because by the ignorance he refers to, it means laziness and procrastination; and therefore if we don't focus on our goals of what we wish to accomplish we'll never complete them. That’s basically the bottom line of what Goethe is talking about, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t take this advice into consideration, for completing our goals in the future.
ReplyDeleteDear Kichelle “Kirikai” Momohara,
ReplyDeleteI like your interpretation of the quote. The reason being is that it’s more simplistic and inspiring, (then the actual quote) and that we can achieve our goals through hard work. And I definitely think that through it all, their goal will become beneficial for their life.
Sincerely,
Spenser T.
Dear, Megan Alexson,
ReplyDeleteI find your comment, to be inspiring. I say this because it encourages others to go out and follow their dreams, and that by sitting around nothing won’t get anything accomplished (even though that’s what the quote said, you made a little more encouraging). And I especially agree that we shouldn’t hold back on accomplishing our goals.
Sincerely,
Spenser T.
Dear Lawson,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your comment about Goethe's quote because I also believe that commitment is essential in order to achieve your goals. If you can't stay committed to a goal, then it's going to be a real challenge for you in order to achieve it.
Sincerely,
Kierstyn Oshita
Dear keanna,
ReplyDeletei agree you shouldn't hesitate and procrastinate on things or else it will never get done.
Sincerely,
Jeiel Hoapili
I think what Goethe is trying to say is that those who don't persist don't get what they want in life. You don't get to places like being president or a movie star if you don't get out there and do it. You can't expect someone to just walk up to you and hand you your wealth, fame, power, etc. on a silver platter, life doesn't work like that.
ReplyDeleteDear Ms.Carlson
ReplyDeleteGoeth is saying how you should create a positive mind set into what you want to achieve in life and how you must not be hesitant in thinking and doing.I agree with this statement because you always need a plan to be successful.
Dear Kmiyata
ReplyDeletei agree with your statement about the blog because in order to become successful you always will need a good attitude and have a plan to follow to your success because its key to have a plan.
Dear Evangeline.cook
ReplyDeleteI fully agree with your statement about the blog because in order to move forward in life you must pursue your goals and it is only up to yourself if you want to do it or not.
I totally agree with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. If you dont try and and persue anything,then you wont get anywhere. It would be pretty hard to be succesful without any effort to it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Goethe's statement because i feel that if you fully commit your self and give it your all, everything you're striving for will happen and you will have a feeling of accomplishment. You need to do your part to get it done, and you will get the benefits of it.
ReplyDeleteDear Kierstyn Oshita,
ReplyDeleteI feel the exact same way that you do towards the quote,it's like you stold the words right out of my mouth!
Sincerely,
Racquel Sandal
Dear Racquel,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you 100 percent because if you're not doing anything to help you pursue what you want, you'll never get it. And you could never be successful without any effort.

Kahealani Ta'a
Dear Kahea Ta'a,
ReplyDeleteI understand where your coming from,if you were to accomplish something on your own in not only gives you confidence but also a joy of knowing that you have done something on your own;independently.
Sincerely,
Racquel Sandal
Dear Geordan Gray,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your statement. If you don't have a plan, you wont be fully committed and you won't be successful. Having a plan sets your mind to be committed and leads you down the road of accomplishment.
Sincerely,
Kahealani Ta'a
I agree with Goethe's statement, because it is true that you need to be committed to yourself in order to succeed in what you want in life. You need to be positive in order to get what you want, negativity holds you back from most things that needs to be achieved. I believe that being positive with yourself is like a road to accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteDear Kahealani Ta'a,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your statement, because its true that if you have a full commitment to yourself you will want to push yourself to try harder for what you want. Your last sentence is straight forward and is true to the full extent. You need to do things for yourself, and you'll get a reward in return.
Sincerely,
Nahea Quereto
I also agree with Goethe's statement because you alway should dream what you want to do with your life after you are done with high school but you also should have your own ideas on what you want later on in life.
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
Camile Gange
I agree with Goethes statement because it talks about how you shouldn't give up on your dreams, commitments, or goals. By doing that you can get far in life and I completely believe in that because I already live my life to those expectations and things always turn out better.
ReplyDeleteDear Kmiyata,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your statement because you have an understanding of the same ideals as my own.
Dear Racquel Sandal,
ReplyDeleteIts true that if you want something, you need to work for it or you won't get it. That's the key to being successful, is by working to get there.
Sincerely,
Nahea Quereto
I believe in what Goethe said. They talk about not giving up on your dreams and to strive to get to those dreams. I believe that even though it is a long and hard path you shouldn't give up and do whatever you can to make your dreams come true. I agree with the statements of Goethe fully.
ReplyDeleteRobert Soares
Dear Robert Soares,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you comment because i think that its true and agree that if you want something enough, you should go for it and give it all you got and never give up. I think that Goethe has the right idea and mindset.
I agree with Goethe. I think he is saying that by giving in to ignorance as he calls it, you are preventing yourself from advancing towards your goals and dreams. Essentially, without really committing to something, there are always opportunities for doubt or laziness to arise which will draw you away from achievment. And when you finally do commit to your task or goal or whatever it is, you will have more success with it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Goethe because he talks about having commitment. I think that if you can't commit a goal then you will never, in a million years, reach it.
ReplyDeleteDear Ms.Carlson
ReplyDeleteI agree with this quote because i feel like it is saying that as long as you put your mind into something and you give it everything you have you will be able to accomplish whatever you want in life. No matter what anyone else might tell you if you believe in yourself you can do anything.
Sincerely
Taylor Ochoa
Dear Kahea
ReplyDeleteI also agree with your statement because i also thing that in order to accomplish something you need to try and put your all into it. If you dont you will not have the feeling of accomplishment.
Dear Laswon
ReplyDeletei also agree with you because i think that if you are going to do something but not fully commit to it, it is a wast of your and everyone who is involved times. when we do things we need to do them to our full potential .
I agree with what Goethe said because he talks about striving to meet your goals/dreams and how it isn't okay to give up because if you don't work hard to reach your goals/dreams, you'll never get there. For example: When i first started playing volleyball in the 8th grade, I was hesitant because I didn't know if I was going to be good enough and that I'd end up humiliating myself, but I kept giving my best effort because my dad always told me "You have to take initiative and put your best effort forward" and now in my Junior year in high school I'm one of the most improved players. So because I have personal experience, I strongly believe in what Goethe said.
ReplyDeleteDear Nahea,
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you said because what you said is true. If you don't put a positive attitude towards your goal/dream, nothing good will come of it. You need to put full effort and initiative into your goal/dream because that's the only way you'll get anywhere.
Sincerely,
Adarah Fujita
Dear Kierstyn Oshita,
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you said because what you said is true. If you just mope around and don't atleast try and give your dreams a shot, you'll think back later in life and realize you wasted time when you could've put more effort and initiative into your goals and could've made that dream come true.
Sincerely,
Adarah Fujita
I also agree with what Goethe said. He stated, "Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now."
ReplyDeleteHe is telling us to make an effort to do ones best to fullfil hope and dreams. Goethe tells us to just go for it and be bold to make a move and work hard to achieve that goal. Never give up and you will make it happen.
Dear Evangeline Cook,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your comment and how it stated, "You can't sit around and expect things to happen, you need to make them happen".
This is so true, a lot of the time people just sit and wait of a dream to happen. But in reality you need to persevere and work to your best ability to make it happen.
Respectfully,
Jordan Vernola
I agree with Goethe because I think he is saying that instead of just dreaming your goals, you need to go for it. You need to be bold about it and just do it. If people weren't dedicated, not many of them would succeed.
ReplyDeleteDear Kmiyata,
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you said about Goethe. You should always be positive and not hesitate on what you believe in.
Sincerely,
Derek Yamane
Dear Jeiel Hoapili
ReplyDeleteI agree with your post completely, when you said, "We need to try to keep committed in order to be successful."
This is so true because today in society people do start off strong and most of the time they stop applying themselves and they hesitate and give up to easily. In order to have success we need to be committed.
Respectfully,
Jordan Vernola
Dear Geordan Gray,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about having a positive mindset and also needing a plan to be successful.
Sincerely,
Derek Yamane
"You don't know what you can do until you try." I agree with Goethe's statement because it's entirely true. Everyone gets nervous on their first day of anything. Most people are hesitant because they're afraid of total humiliation. From that first day in a new school to a first day in swimming class. You don't know what you want to do in life until you try different things and see where the road takes you. Experiences help you grow.
ReplyDeletei agree with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. if you dont try then you wont go nowhere. and by giving in then its holding you from getting where you want to go.
ReplyDeletedear racquel,
ReplyDeletei agree with what you said. it would be hard to be successful if you dont try

ReplyDeletewithout commitment i dont think that your goin to reach the goals you want to meet and that if your not commited then the things that you would want to do in your life will not go as well as you want it to. As Goethe had said, boldness has genius, power, and magic in it, so start now but also be commited to it. Start till you reach the end.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Carlson,
ReplyDeleteGoethe's statement states that you shouldn't be hesitant to do anything that you want to do. When I was young my mother told me that I always knew what I wanted and would work my may to achieve what I wanted. I was never afraid to achieve my goals and doing whatever I wanted to do and believed in. Having said that, I agree with Goethe's statement completely because it has been my motto to always achieve goals and don't let anyone or anything ruin it for you.

Dear Evangeline Cook,
ReplyDeleteI like the way you talk about setting goals and persuing them. It's true that you won't get anywhere if you just leave everything where they are. Some people expect that everything will be laid out before them and all they have to do is point their little finger and say the word. You set a goal and you try your hardest to strive to the finish.

ReplyDeleteI liked how you stated that hesitance brings forth doubt and can keep dreams from coming true. I agree with that because a lot of people don't realize how lost and stuck they are.

ReplyDeleteWhen reading this quote it reminds me of Shell Silverstein's rendition of "The Little Engine That Could". The train almost crests a steep hill but as he reaches the top he shouts, "I think I can" and falls down to the bottom. The explanation being that you have to 'know'. If you don't truely beleive you can accomplish something, then you can't.

I agree with Goethe that in oder to achieve a goal, or dream you must be committed and have the initiative to take that first step toward that goal. As long as you are committed, that first step will be followed by another, therefore bringing you closer and closer to your goal.

Dear Ms. Carlson,
ReplyDeleteI agree with Goethe about the whole thing about one's hesitance being the main reason many plans are ignored. The reason being is that if one was to hesitate in there dreams and not follow through, then in the future all they will fill is regret and will only think of all the what ifs. By doing so, they will not be moving forward and thinking of the past. So because of this I think that if one was to follow straight with their dreams, than one can move forward. At least that is what I think Goethe meant, but I could be wrong.
Sincerly,
Jessica "Sora" Pasadava
Dear Ms. Carlson,
ReplyDeleteI agree with Goethe that if youb follow your dream then you can acheive it. If you don't try to follow it then you aren't going to get anywhere with it. I agree with him because one you have a dream you should follow it to the very end. That is what I believe in too.

ReplyDeleteDear Ms. Carlson
ReplyDeleteI agree with Goethe because you should always keep a good imagination on things, and also if you do not try you will not get nowhere. So i agree that people should always dream out loud and keep an open mind.

Dear Ms. Carlson,
ReplyDeleteGoethe had said, "boldness has genius, power, and magic in it, so start now but also be commited to it. Start till you reach the end." This shows that some type off effort needs to be put forward in order for you to get somewhere. Ignorance and lack of will power can ruin your chance of achieving your dreams and goals. Basically I agree with the fact that not trying gets you nowhere in life so effort always needs to happen.

ReplyDeleteDear Ms. Carlson, I agree with Goethe because in order to accomplish in life you must be committed in following a goal you have to be able to take that first step, and that first step will be followed by many others but you'll eventually accomplish the goal, but if you procrastinate you may have a harder time accomplishing things in life or you may not go nowhere. its nice too try the hardest you can too keep yourself on track, and when in doubt you have friends and family who'll be there for you.

ReplyDeleteI agree with your comment because you state that lack of will power causes people to ruin their chances of achieving their goals. I agree with this because with lack of will power means lack of motivation and without motivation you won't get anything done.

Dear Kahea,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your statement and like the way you interpreted it. "You need to do your part to get it done, and you will get the benefits of it." I think that's totally true because if you don't 'do your part', you won't get the rewarding aspect of it.
Sincerely,
Carlie De Silva
Dear Sara,
ReplyDeleteI like the way you related to the poem and agree with your statement. If you hesitate to do something, you're just setting yourself up for procrastination or other things that will lure you further away from what you want to achieve. You also shouldn't let anyone or anything get in the way of what you want to do.
Sincerely,
Carlie De Silva
Dear Erica,
ReplyDeleteI really like the way you phrased "...you have to be able to take that first step, and that first step will be followed by many others...". A goal never has a straight path to it, you have to be able to continue to persevere after that first step.
Truely,
Khylani
Dear Shelby Taogoshi,
ReplyDeleteI agree with most of your post but when you say "If you commit yourself and try your hardest to achieve something, then you can accomplish almost anything in your reach." I believe Goethe is implying that when you fully commit yourself, with no holding back, then it doesn't have to be in your reach. By going "all-out" anything is in your reach.
Kind Regards,
Khylani Noel
Dear Ms. Carlson
ReplyDeleteI also agree with Goethe.In order to meet goals you obviously need to know what your goal is and you will go through trials and tribulations in order to conquer your goal. I like then he said "Until one is committed, there is hesitancy" because its words of truth.
Sincerely, Lilia yamamoto
Dear Courtney Higa,

Dear Malexson4,
ReplyDeleteWhat you said is true. why even call it your goal if doesn't mean much to you? If a person genuinely wanted something they would find some way some how to make it come true.

Dear Ms. Carlson,
ReplyDeleteI Interpret Goethe’s words in the sense that every action has a consequence, it may not be particularly bad or good, it will simply be different. It is explained that, “Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back” meaning simply that you could go back on your own plans and go down another path in life. Goethe does encourage boldness, taking that leap of faith into the unknown where your entire life could change, but in the end doing so is based on one’s own personal preference.

Dear Ms.Carlson,
ReplyDeleteThis article pretty much explains why we live doing what we do if ones self is not fully committed thou shal be very hesitant and once they find their calling and purpose in life it gives you more drive and confidence to be your own success story.
Sincerely,
Noah
Dear Garth,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your input
Dear Ms.Carlson
ReplyDeleteI agree with Goethe because i belive that if you ever want to reach a goal that you set you will need to give 100% And show devotion.
You should never give up with any thing you do in life and allways give it all you got
Aren't those kids a little young to dance like that? Was the first thing I thought when I saw this video.
ReplyDeleteDear Ms.Carlson,
ReplyDeleteI know I'm late at typing this but i just got to log on. I agree with Goethe because i also think that if you at least try to succeed in certain thing then you gain some knowledge in trying. Its good to keep pushing yourself to succeed.
Dear Ms. Carlson,
ReplyDeleteI believe in what Goethe is saying. He is telling everyone that you shouldn't even think about hesitating on going for what you dream of. If you want it, You must go get it. Think of a plan that will succeed. If your plan doesn't work the first time then try again until you get it. If you really want it, then go for it.
Sincerely,
