This quote comes from Goethe.
Respond to it by writing about the times when you were able to act in accordance with your own ideas or when you failed to do so. What made the difference? Why were you able to maintain your integrity in one occasion but not the other?

It is true as Goethe says that it is hard to act in accordance with your thinking. I have on occasion failed to act when when what I believe I should do is different than what others want me to do. For example, when I go home and think I should do my homework right away I often procrastinate. Sometimes I come through, like right now while I’m typing up my homework. It would be easier not to act on this thought when it disagrees with laziness. This is why it is easier to, but not better to take action on a thought.
One time where I was not able to do as I was thinking was at lunch one day when all my friends were talking about a girl who they didn’t like. I thought it was wrong to talk about her, yet i didn’t stick up for her. A time where I acted as I thought was when my friends were talking about a friend of mine. I stuck up for my friend and told them not to talk about her. I was able to act as I thought because she was my close friend and i didn’t want to hear bad things about her, as the other girl I didn’t stand up for because i barely knew her.
I believe that this whole quote is true in all aspects. Personally I can think about doing something for days, weeks , and sometimes months, and never actually accomplish what I’ve spent so much time thinking over. There was one time that I remember very well that i did manage to accomplish something i had thought over a lot. There was a girl at my old school who I had liked for a really long time but for some reason I never got up the guts to ask her out. That changed at the end of the school year on a field trip. We were on the buss and I passed he a note because I couldn’t get close enough to talk to her and asked her out. Finally after all that time I finally reached my goal. The down side was that right after she said yes I found out that I was moving to auburn hills an hour and a half away.
At times it is hard for me to act on what I think is right or something I believe in . I have to consider the consequences of my actions at all times. I once got into a fight with a girl who hit me first, at the time the girl hit me I was thinking about hurting her. I acted on what I didn’t believe was right by beating the mess out of her. If I had not fought the girl I’m pretty sure everyone would have been trying to hit me thinking I wouldn’t hit them back. I didn’t act on what I thought was right, I should have walked away and told an adult. Either way I would have gotten in trouble no matter what my actions were. I ended up receiving a suspension and if I had not fought her back I would have been in trouble with my mom for not hitting someone back who hit me. So when it comes to me thinking about things and then acting on it all depends on the situation.
A time when I found it difficult to act as I was thinking was when my friend was on her way to pick me up and I had chores to do but I didnt finish them. My mind was telling me to call her and tell her I had chores to do and to pick me up in a little. But I just left instead.
A time when I managed to act as I was thinking was when my mind was telling me to call my friend to see if she wanted to hang. So I did.

There has been many times in my life where I thought one thing, but did another. Just a few days ago I was in the cafeteria waiting to put my pin number in to buy my lunch. Then line was long, and really slow. All of a sudden, these girls come up, totally disregarding the line, and put their pin in right before I got up to put mine in. U was so livid, after waiting about 10 minutes in line. I was about to ask what the heck is their problem and if they were blind, and didn’t see the other 20 people behind them. But I knew if I said anything, the girls would make a huge deal about it, and blow it out of proportion. So I didn’t say anything, and decided to just let it go. The reason why I didn’t say anything was because first of all, I’m probably the last one that would want to have someone on my bad side, plus the fact that these girls were loud mouths, and I didn’t really want them starting stuff with me. I know that if I did say something, I would feel a lot better inside for saying what I felt, but then the girls would be yelling at me. So I decided that I’d rather just keep my mouth shut, then to listen to mouths that wouldn’t shut up.
I think that the quote means that it is easy to think one thing, but hard to actually do it. There are many times everyday that I think one thing but go on and do another. One time when I was at a party and I had to be home at 12 o’clock, I thought about leaving but I decided to stay. I thought one thing but I did another. I personally feel like I sometimes don’t act in accordance with my thoughts because im conformist, I care want people think about me. There was a time were There was a pop in the fridge and I thought about drinking it even though I knew it wasn’t mine, I didn’t drink it. I thought one thing and I took action. Many people don’t act in accordance with their thought because they are also conformist. Conformity takes a major roll in decided your actions. That the reason we make a lot of the choices we make.
A situation when I thought one thing, and did another was when I was standing with a group of people and I heard them talking about a person that I knew of, but I just stood there and I didn’t say anything to them. Now, I knew what they were talking about was not the right and I’m still not sure why I didn’t say anything to them. Because I know I would want someone to sick up for me. But, a situation when I thought something and I also put it into action is when, I was also with a different group of people, and these people were talking about a good friend of mine. I did tell them to stop talking about about her. I didn’t care if when I walked away everyone in the clique would talk about me. I knew that I did the right thing. The thing that made me speak up this time. Is that I know that my friend would do the same for me.
One time I saw someone giving someone help on homework but was actually giving him the wrong answers on purpose to make fun of him. I thought I should go over there and tell him that he was being a jerk but instead I choose to not act the way I thought. The next day I saw the same person go back for help, and yet again he choose to tell him the wrong things over and over. I felt bad for not acting with way I thought the day before so I choose to walk over there and tell him. I marched over and boldly stated, “ What are you doing?” The person receiving the help was confused to what I was doing, but the jerk that was trying to help was awestruck with what I did. He slowly walked away and I sat down to help the confused individual. The reason I was able to act one time and not the other was because the first time I didn’t believe that it was something for me to get involved with, I felt that I should stay to my own business. After the second time I was mad at how he was treating the other kid. And felt that if I didn’t step in it would just continue to get worse. I think the main reason that I helped the second time it happened was because its not a good thing to do and if someone was doing that to me I would have hoped someone would have spoken up for me and said something.
An example of a time when I didn’t do what I thought was right was when my teachers give me homework, my head tells me to take the piece of homework, ball it up, and through it right back in their faces but my body does not follow my heads instructions. (This is probably a good thing) Another situation where I do follow through with what I was thinking was when I saw one of my friends getting pushed around and getting bullied. I went over and helped my friend. When I came over it seemed to persuade the people to leave my friend alone. I think that the reason I had two different responses to these situations is because of my emotions at the time. When I get homework I just get so angry that it makes me just want to rip it up. On the other hand when I see my friends getting pushed around I just start to care about them and want to go help.

I believe that acting upon a person’s thoughts isn’t easy. I sometimes have thoughts that I don’t act upon because I am afraid of what will happen when i act out my thoughts. It is easy to think a person’s own thoughts, but harder to have an action with a thought. Any one can do something, but is it possible to have thoughts with those actions??
A situation where I think one thing but act another would be when I was in a hockey game and the puck was coming towards me. I was thinking I was going to get the puck and pass it to my team mate. Instead I dumped the puck into their zone and the other team obtained the puck. A situation when I was succesful in my thinking was when my brain was telling me to do my spanish essay, and even though I didnt want to I finished my essay. The reason I failed with my thinking was because there was a lot of pressure and I got nervouse and tensed up and did the opposite. The reason I succeded in my thinking was because I knew that the essay was important to my grade.
I think this quote means that even if you think about the right thing to do, you dont always do that. A time I thought about something but did another was when I knew I had homework to do, but wanted to go to the Tigers game. I did go to the Tigers game. But I did get my homework done too, just later. Sometimes you can think it, and know it right, but just not do it. Like when I know I have to be home at certain time, but I wait to the last minute to call my mom and tell her I want to stay later. I was thinking to call earlier, but I just didn’t. My mom says its just that I can be forgetful and lazy about things too. But this quote made me remember this, so I can tell my mom I didn’t forget it!
A time that it was hard for me to act on something was when i was playing a soccer game one of my players got into a fight with someone on the other team. I was thinking to myself should I go over there and help him or stay in the soccer goal and do nothing. I decided to stay in goal because I knew that it was the mature thing to do and I knew that it would be taken care of in a better way.
Yes. It is hard to act in accordance with what I am thinking sometimes. In many instances I think I am going to do something but then when it is time to do it I find a way to avoid it. An example is a couple years ago we were going to cedar point and I thought I was going to ride the Top Thrill Dragster for sure, but the time came to step in line I said I wanted to go to the bathroom, and then I said I wanted to go on a different ride. The point is I saw the roller coaster in front of me and I chickened out, even though before I came to Cedar Point I thought I was going to ride the dragster for sure. There are many situations in which people think they are going to do something but avoid it because they do not want to do it anymore when the time comes to commit to the action.
I think about most of my actions before I do them but when it comes down to acting on them I never really seem to do what is right. Some examples that I have experienced are when my mom asks me to clean the kitty litter when I get home from school, I always remember to do it I just don’t. Also my mom will ask me to get the dogs more water I think about it and remember something else I wanted to do and put off getting the water when I knew better. I believe that this quote is proof that more than half the world does not think before they act or they think but do not act upon their actions the way they should.
I think I’m good at wrestling. I act on what I think every day so that I can be my best. I have trained three days a week for every week of the summer. At training we lift weights and we wrestle. This has helped me with my technique and my strength because it is constant and we do it every week. By training as much as we do I am putting my acting into accordance with my thinking. I am well prepared for the next season and I am very excited to see my training in action.
I think that the quote is trying to say that it is hard to think one thing at do. Sometimes, not doing what you are thinking isn’t always the right thing to do. There is one thing that I do that that relates to this quote, it is when I am at a friend’s house and I am thinking I should call my mom and check in with her. Normally I just don’t call and end up getting in trouble. Another time where I don’t what my mind is telling me is when I am playing soccer. My mind tells me to go to the ball but my fears get in the way and I get too scared and the other team wins the ball.
To think of what is right to do is easy, but to act on what you think, sounds easy. Not true most kids tell them self that they should not be doing this but they go ahead and do it anyway. It is true acting on what you think is the hardest things to do. When you know that you are doing the right thing, you just feel good but when you know whats right and your frineds what you to do something wrong it is hard to say no, i dont think i should be doing that its wrong. Peer presure in one of the worst thing for teens to overcome.
There was a situation on this bus where this kid was being verbally harassed by like a group of three or four kids, It was really messed up I thought that I should back the kid up even though I did not know him but instead I chose to stay quiet I don’t think I acted mainly because I didn’t know him to well and I didn’t feel like any trouble that day it was kind of cowardly of me really. Although that time I was a coward there was one time where I did stand up for what I thought instead of not listening to what I thought was right, it was when my brother was getting picked on by some kids back at our old school. I cant remember why they were but instead of just standing by I fought back of course there was like four of them so I was thanking god when my grandma came out and called their mom. We made it out with out getting to badly hurt but I was kind of proud of myself that I could help my brother. I think that i acted on what I felt this time because my brother was in danger I don’t think I could ever stand by and watch something like that happen to him. So i think I would only act on my thoughts if the situation applied to me or if it was something i cared about.
Okay, so there was this one time I was thinking about skateboarding and there is this really big gap on Square Lake and Livernois at the National City bank on the corner. I kind of just thought for a little bit that I would be able to do it. Once I got there I couldn’t get myself to do it. It was just too big. I wanted to but my body didn’t.
Then there was this other time where I really wanted to skate and my body agreed. So, I just kind of went all out. I guess I just thought to myself “what is the worst that could happen?”
The time that I actually wound up trying stuff I did it cause I kind of figured that I had nothing to lose.
Goethe is correct, thinking things is easy and acting is hard. It is surely even harder to act upon what you think. I think lots of things that should be, lost of things that should not. I can’t act upon what I think; it’s much easier to tell other people what they should do as opposed to doing it yourself. I can honestly say that I have only one experience in which I have acted upon what I believed. This was when Craig Phelps was getting picked on a lot in the locker room during a gym class. I don’t know why I decided to, but I yelled at the people who were making fun of him and told them to shut their mouths. There has been countless times where I believed I should have done something but didn’t. Actually, everyday I think I should ball up my homework and throw my homework at the teacher and say I refuse to it. Obviously, I don’t do that. The times that I did and did not do what I believed in were different because of the consequences that could happen. Usually I am too shy of a person, and the price to pay for doing what you believe in is too great for me to actually do what I believe should happen. The prices to pay for being an individual are too great for anybody to actually be themselves. Most of the students in Avondale do most of the things they do to fit in with the crowd. They do this because it takes too much work to be your own person. I am not my own person.
A situation when I failed to do what I thought was right is when I stayed the night at a friends house without any money. My Dad always tells me to make sure that I have money on me when I go places without him. Instead of me waiting until my Dad got back home I decided to go to my friend’s house broke anyways. I didn’t think I was going to need it just for one day but sure enough when I got to his house that evening he wanted to go skating. I was mad that I didn’t bring any money but he ended up paying for me, and I still owe him to this day.
A situation when I did act is when I my neighbor raking leaves in her front lawn. I didn’t want her to have to do it all by herself so I went and insisted on doing it for her. She let me do it and she ended paying for it. Now she lets me shovel her driveway during the winter also.
I was able to act on what I thought was right in the first situation because I was helping another person. In the other situation I was not because I was doing it for myself and I believe that I know what’s right for me. That is the difference between those two situations.

Ok so I was driving to get my library card last saturday and it had to been raining all weekend. As I was driving i saw a man with no umbrella standing at a bus sign soaking wet from the poring rain waiting for the bus to come pick him up. Now i knew i had an umbrella that i’ve never used and figured he needed it more than i did, but for some odd reason i just kept driving, and after about 5 minutes i felt like such a bad person for thinking about helping him but never did. So again i was driving and i saw a little girl walking alone on a sidewalk with no adult in sight. And i wasnt by any houses, just big work buildings. So i did a Michigan “U” figuring i would just ask where her parents were and not a second later she wasn’t on the sidewalk anymore. So i kept driving and about 10 seconds later i saw woman holding the hand of two young boys on the side of a building yelling at the girl telling her to come here.
There are sometimes in my life when I do aked in correspondence with my thinking and there are times when I don’t. One time ago I was getting christmas gifts with my dad when this kid was hanging on the side of the escalator. His mom was wigging out which of cource gets the kid scared as he is hanging on for his life over a fifteen foot drop on to a big pile of rocks. In my mind, I wanted to save him, but I just stood there and watch the kid fall. Luckly, my dad and three others caught him. One time I did do something was during the audition for Joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat. I was at first nervous but then I said to myself ” pretend it is just practice. I got a part two days later. I think that the reason I didn’t try to save that kid and the I could get a part in a school play is because of confidence and reality. I knew that I could have just walked up there and grabbed hold of his arms as we go up, but I also knew that he could fall before I got there and he could die. So I just stood there with a battle going on inside my mind. That was not the case though during the audition. In my mind, I knew I could do it and I did it. Simple as that.
One time where I was not able to do as I was thinking was one day when I was outside over my friend Gumas’s house. Everyone such as my friend Payaso, Manuel, Javier, Jose, Pablo, Jason, and my brother Brian were making fun of a little fat kid walking past. The little kid did look funny, but that didn’t mean I should of let them talk about him in a bad way. I should of spoken up and at least stoped it. I didn’t though. I really feel bad to this day.:(
A time I managed to act as I was thinking was one time when I saw my neighbor take out her trash in the rain. I decided to go outside and help her. Even though we had our differences in the past, I still felt good and I did what felt right.
My neighbor and I talk know.
I think that time changed everything.

I believe it is true, that acting upon what you are thinking is very difficult. When I am in a situation where my friends, or anyone who I’m hanging out with, are doing something wrong, I think of doing the right thing but I always have second thoughts as what they would say to me if I were to speak up. There are times when I just walk away form the situation and later on I would always ask myself, “why didn’t I speak up?” and I’m always left with a horrible feeling as to why I hadn’t spken up when I had the chance to.
I was out shopping and I seen some people stealing things I just looked and deiced not to say anything, I just laughed. I though it was funny how they where out in the open doing it while people where looking at them. I wasn’t going to do anything at first because I didn’t want to get my self or anybody in trouble. Then sudden a lady came behind me and said where they stealing & I said yes they where and she told me to go tell. So I did so. They caught them before they left. They talked to me, then they gave me a 45$ gift card to there store. I was happy I got rewarded for something I did.
A time when I acted without thinking about my actions was when I decided to leave the house when no one was home and didnt tell my mom where I was going. That was a mistake because my mom had things she wanted me to do that were not done. Thats a mistake I won’t make again.
Believe it or not I have thought before I acted a couple of times. Once was whether or not to to hang with friends after school. I thought about it and decided not to because I remembered I had to get my brother from school.
This problem happens to me all the time. I think something will be so easy to do, bit it turns out to be harder than ever. I agree a lot with Jeremy when he says his mind wants to do it but his body wont let him. That is a great example of me, Whether it’s something huge or something little. An example would be me trying a backflip on a trampoline. I wanted to so bad but i just couldn’t. I have finaly learned a backflip on the trampoline, one day i told my self that i need to do it, and with a little help I got it.

Goethe is right. People all the time want to do things but they cant get the guts to do so. People think about standing up for someone but they want to be a non-conformist and fit in with the crowd and not stick out from the crowd. If people would stick up for other people then the world wopuld be a better place in my eyes.

I believe that the quote is true, because there were time where I knew that I wasnt suppose to do something, and I did it anyway because my friends were doing it. The other times were when I didnt have my friends and I followed directions.
I believe that this quote is true. I believe because you think about stuff you should do but never do it . I think about doing my homework but I won’t move from the t.v to do my homework, like math.
I believe that this quote is true because people think about doing things but they never do it . I think about doing things but never do them too, like when I think about doing my homework but I won’t remove myself from playing video games.
I believe that this quote is true because acting and thinking are very hard to do together . I think about doing things but never do them too, like when I think about doing my homework but I won’t remove myself from playing video games.
I believe that the quote is true because thinking about it then actually do what you’re thinking could be complicated because its very easy to think but sometimes it could be difficult to actually put them into actions, so that’s why i believe the quotes true.
I sometimes act according to my thoughts. I find it easier to act accordingly to what I am thinking when there is only a short time to act. I find it harder when you have time to double think it. I know this through experience one time my brother fell into the fireplace when he was playing with my brother and in a short time we had him on the way to the hospital with all his stuff.
I remember a time where I was not acting in accordance to my thinking. I was at a football game for Pontiac Central and Pontiac Northern. The friends I was with was talking about a girl that they did not like and I did not even know her. I was thinking about sticking up for her but I actually pretended I knew who they was talking about and I ended up saying I did not like her either. I felt really bad after this and I eventually told my friends that I was kidding and that I really did not know the girl.

I think that is hard to act out your thoughts. Everyone thinks of their dreams, and I think that a life long goal should never be easy to obtain. People dream of being proffesional sports players, or have their own clothing brand. Others wish that they could sing or dance, so they work very hard at it and they practice. Some people are naturally good at what they do, but it never hurts to try harder. Thinking of your future is easy to do, making it a reality is hard.
It is very difficult to act in what you believe in. When I had to clean my house before my birthday party, it was an hour until then but i hadn’t finished the work: I had barely started. I had the choice to leave to the mall for my party and leave my house a mess or slean up and be late. I had chosen to be late because i knew that if i hadn’t it wouldn’t turn out so well. I ended up having longer party and way more fun just because i cleaned up instead of leaving.
I don’t always do what is right though. I often say that my homework is done so i can hang out with my friends when instead i have every hour to do. I ended up grounded and had to do the work along with chores on top.
I think it is hard to act on what u think. I know i should most of the time but end up not instead. I really beleive i should act upon my thought, but end up not doing so. My life would probably be alot different, if i did act what i thought.
It is hard to act to what you believe in. For instants one time that I did not act of for what I think is what my friends are talking about one of my friends, but I just sit there and listen to to it and I don’t say anything about it. I know I should but it is easer in a way to not to say anything. But at school when I see her I don’t care if they see me talking or sitting with her.
I do believe what Goethe states in his quote. It is hard to think and act at the same time. Most of the time i do not think when i act, which comes to some serious consequences. For example, my grades, I may know whats right, but i act to quickly, or not at all. In the end, I’m the one behind bars.
“To think is easy. To act is hard. But the hardest thing in the world is to act in accordance with your thinking.” I believe this quote is true, All the time i have homework and I wait till the end of the night when im tired to do it. But yet i still wait till Acad the next day and dont have time to do it correctly. Another time I was able to act, my best friend from 3 grade was in a fight with his brother and I knew he was upset and I should do sumthing. So I ended up Walkin him to my house and he spent the night there.
I perfectly agree with Goethe,
it’s very hard to act what you think, for example, it happened to me once, when I was a child, I felt older than I was in front of the other scool mates of mine,but I wasn’t able to act like that,it was very difficult ‘case I even didn’t have an idea on the way of an adult was,I was just seven years old!!
But I think that the thought is more powerful than the wish,’cause thank to the wish it’s possible to do so many things,it doesn’t matter if they are good or bad.

Ok so this one time I was driving to the store and it had to been raining all weekend. So I’m on my way and I see a Man standing at a bus sign waiting to be picked up. He was soaked from the poring rain and looked pretty cold as I can tell from his face. I wasn’t in a hurry to get to the store so I thought about stopping and giving him an umbrella that I’ve never used. But for some unusual reason I just kept driving. And about 5 minutes later I felt pretty bad. This is a true story, I was driving with my mom to the mall and a couple minutes later it started to rain. It was still raining after we left the mall when we saw an old lady sitting in a wheelchair on the side of the road. It was really bizarre that she was just on the side of the road. It looked like she was waiting for someone but anyways my mom and I both said we should give her an umbrella. So we turned around and gave the old woman an umbrella and a couple minutes later I swear the sun came out and it stopped raining. So when you think about doing something you feel is right, do it because later on good things will happen.
Goethe is right in saying that it is easier to think than to do. I was listening to my friends make fun of other people at school one time. I knew it was wrong to talk about someone behind their back but i didn’t say anything. It didn’t take long though until i was getting tired of them making fun of someone. I didn’t say anything but i walked away, choosing not to listen either.
One day in the fifth grade my mother was suppose to let me ride the bus home with one of my friends and forgot to write a note. so I had called and called her and she never called me back and I decided to have another friend who at the time had good hand writing and I had asked her to write me a note for the bus and she did. she gave it to me and I got onto my friends bus. the bus driver apparently called the principle and had me and mara taking off the bus because we had a fake note and they knew it! we had to run across the parking lot and get on our own bus. when we got home our parents asked us like ten times how school was and every single time we didnt tell them. At nine o clock that night my parents had talked to us and explained how that was wrong of us to do it and that we had gotten a detention for everything! we also got grounded I learned to think before I act.
Thinking is the easy part of doing something but when it comes to the acting you don’t know if it will turn out good or not. Like sometimes you might think something is funny to you but it might not be very funny for someone else. And then you might do the thing you were thinking and it will be hurtful to the other person but not you. So for some reason I think that it is harder for me to think than to act, and when you think the right way you know that it will be a good act.
i say that it is easy to think then to act on something. I see my friends making fun of other people and i know that it’s wrong but i don’t say anything about it. I also here people talking behind each others back but i don’t go back and say anythings. Goethe is right it is easier to think about something then to act on it.

A situation where I thought one thing but did a different was when I had a very big essay that was due, and so I decided to put it off but i thought to myself that it was very important, but besides acting on doing it i went out to hang with friends so I recived a very low grade on it. A situation where i thought and acted was when I was offered to drink but I thought to myself dont do it, so I i said no then walked away. the differents is that usually what your thinking is the right choice but its hard to think then act at the same time, beacuse its usually pressure can make you act different than what you think!

Goethe basicly says that it is easy to think, but acting on it is hard. I have procrastinated against doing this blog for the longest time, it’s been on all of my missing assignment reports so far and i still haven’t done it.
But, doing something were i acted and thunk the same is also now. Ms. Cramer got on me to do my essay so i finally did. Which is me thinking and acting on the same thing.

A situation where I thought one thing but did another was when I had this very big assignment do and well I thought to myself I’d better get this done because I cant afford to fail this class so I got home and then received a call from my best friend asking if I wanted to go out that night, so I replied yes. I arrived home super late. And barely had enough time to work on the project, so I rushed doing it I received a horrible grade on it because I put it off till the last minute and now I‘ve learned to just get it and do a little bit here and there and also not to rush just take your time and do it right the first time, because when you rush you tend to mess up a lot more and which if you do in fact catch the mistake its either too late or your going to have to redo a lot.
A situation where I thought one thing did it, was when I received my missing assignment report and I thought to myself “man, I really need to straighten up and get working on these missing assignments.” The following week I had returned to school with only one or two missing assignments and I felt really very good about myself and I learned that its easier to just do your assignments as soon as you get it so it doesn’t keep building up, to the point you cant keep up with the new work you receive.
The differences that if you think but don’t act you could be seriously missing you, or you maybe in trouble depending on what you didn’t do. But if you think and do act the same you maybe rewarded in some way. But you can do much more and accomplish much more if you just do what you think is right, and try not to have a lot of things to distract you but if in fact there is a distraction think about which is more important, you getting your work done and passing the class or your social life that can take place after the work is done? You decide. What comes first in your book, the grade or your social life?
