How can people do through this world and not know what matters to them? Do they just walk around not talk? Everyone has a voice, an opinion. Use it! Mr Fisch's post, "What Matters" means a lot to me. I just can't understand how people could say what if i don't have an opinion or I don't care. Even if you don't care about a lot of things I still think you have to believe in something. Some of my beliefs are God created everything, He is our Savior, there is a life after you die, love at first sight, work ethic, and if you work hard you can get what you want. Some people my disagree with those things (like John Pie) but that doesn't mean I have to change my beliefs because someone doesn't agree with me. Be you own person! Now there is a difference between someone pursuading you to alter your beliefs and you just believing what they believe, so your not different. An example is if a basketball coach believes in more shooting than running in pre-season he is not going to change that just because another coach thinks different. An exception would be if the coach that believes in shooting is not as successful as the coach that believes in running. Then the shooting coach might alter his beliefs just to see what happens if he makes his team run more. Or a bad altering of your beliefs would be if someone wanted you to smoke when you think smoking is bad, but you do it just to be cool or accepted. Peer pressure! The teachers are doing us a big favor by making us do reports or papers about what matters to us because it tells ourselves who we are. If we go through life not knowing what we believe in, then what are we living for? Were just an object on the earth not a person!
