Never Give Up!

      Growing up I have learned that actions speak louder than words. If someday you happen to fall in love with a special someone don’t tell him or her how much you love them, show them, because actions speak louder than words. When you have a dream and you want that dream more than the world itself, you cant just ask for it nicely, you have to work hard and do whatever it takes to chase your dream. Why, because actions speak louder than words.  This lesson has helped me countless times, and even more so after graduating high school.

      Dr. Seuss has taught children many great lessons and values through his stories. It is okay to step out of your comfort zone and try new things like in his book “Green Eggs and Ham.” Also in “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” Dr. Seuss teaches us that life has much more than ups and downs. He teaches us that life is a journey and the only way to fully experience life is to ride it out. Before he taught anyone any of those lessons, and before any of those books were even thought up of, Dr. Seuss was busy showing those who were watching just how actions indeed speak louder than words.

      Dr. Seuss’ first children’s book to ever be published was “And to Think I Saw It on Mulberry Street.” However getting his first children’s book published was not an easy task; not even for a popular cartoonist and ad man such as himself. His book “And to Think I Saw It on Mulberry Street” was rejected twenty-seven times by different publishing companies before Vanguard Press finally published it in1937. Imagine if Dr. Seuss would have given up and remained Theodore Seuss Geisel magazine illustrator. It shouldn’t matter if you fail once or even twenty-seven times, because failure doesn’t define you. To get back up, brush yourself off, and tell yourself to try again means so much more. So work hard for what you want and never give up, because actions speak louder than words. Do what you love and live a life that you love, because actions will always speak louder than words.
