After watching the short clip of Ashton Kutcher's acceptance speech what did you take away from his advice? What does this quote mean to you -"Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you, and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use."
There are people in the world, that you may idolize. It could be through looks, sports, knowledge, or academics or many more things. This isn't necessarily a bad thing but its also not a good thing. The world around you and everything inside it was made by people just like you. They may not look like you in anyway, shape, or form. But they're still like you. They went through at least 12 years of schooling, have common sense, and a heart. You may not realize how similar you are to the people around you that you're constantly wanting to be. You're in charge of no ones life but your own, and even that is a huge responsibility. Every second, even every millisecond, you're making a decision that could impact your life so terribly you might never sit in the chair you're currently sitting in or walk the streets of this town ever again. But then again, you could be making decisions that are going to change your life for the better. You could be meeting new people, creating a new machine, designing outfits in your head, planning trips, brainstorming your meals, writing a story, even daydreaming. And all of these things could impact you in the hours, days or years to come. Stop existing, start living.
