What Do You Follow?

Many influential people live by at least one quote or rule. Along with millions of others in the world. You may even be living by a quote or rule and not even know it, maybe following a certain criteria when you do things, or telling yourself something every time you get put into a certain situation.

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.” Steve Jobs once said.

If you look at Steve Jobs now you can clearly see him following through with this quote in itself unintentionally.

One life rule that sophomore Laila Irigoyen says she follows is to “never let anyone take advantage of me or my friendship”. Irigoyen meaning she won’t let people walk all over her and tell her what she can and cannot do. Laila also runs cross country and track, “I always like to have a positive outlook before I race because I feel like it helps me do better throughout the time I’m running” Irigoyen says.

 “I like to think I am a “live in the moment” type of person” sophomore Kelly Nguyen says. “I really enjoy photography and doing photo shoots with my friends because I can always look back the photos and remember what was happening during that time.” Kelly explains.

“I believe that if you are doing something you love you should always be passionate and hardworking about it” Natalie Mejia says. Natalie is a three sport athlete who loves softball and says she believes the saying, “go hard or go home”.
