| It means no worries! For the rest of your days! |
That was the motto that marked a turning point in one of my favorite movies, the Lion King. Besides that, there are thousands upon thousands of other mottos out there. But if I had one motto to describe my own life, I guess it would be "You can't win the lottery without buying a ticket."
Sure, it's a quote from Bakuman, my favorite manga, and it's probably been ripped off of something before it got into the manga, but I don't care. It rings so true in so many different ways. For example, you don't know if you can get, say, a job until you try out for it. It's kind of like Schroedinger's cat theory - the cat is both alive and dead in the box until you open it and find out. All opportunities that you will come across in the world are open and an infinite amount of possibilities and outcomes all exist at once, I believe.
I guess the motto is kind of a self-motivational thing for me as well. In the past, I used to really dislike change, and sometime when I was in high school, I just snapped and realized there was so much to this world that I was missing out on. Now, I think I'm different than the person that was so hesitant to change; I try out new vegetables (not that exciting, I know), I take charge of more things, and I try to go out on as many adventures as I can go on. I think I've said it a million times in other blogs, but my favorite thing to do is travel. And what's travel without trying new things? You never know where the adventure could take you until you make your move.
And to all of you jerks out there that say the lottery is a waste of time and money, maybe you're right! Maybe the odds really do suck! But hey, there are ODDS! Live a little and take risks - don't live out your life in a little shell (i.e. never leaving your house). When I'm in college, I hope I'll be able to carry out this motto and take it wherever I go.
