\u201cShoot for the moon, even if you miss, you\u2019ll land amongst the stars\u201d has always been my favorite quote. I remember my seventh-grade English teacher had it written on a poster that hung right under her whiteboard. I feel like some people, things, and words life just sync with you. That is this quote for me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think this quote breaks down into two parts. The first part is \u2018shoot or the moon.\u2019 To me, this means that a person tries their hardest, does the best they can do, or goes above and beyond. For example, if you aren\u2019t the best at working out – as long as you try your hardest you should be proud of yourself. Another example is applying for jobs. When I apply for post-grad jobs I often feel overwhelmed, like maybe there are so many candidates that I won\u2019t be able to stand out or it may be a tad bit out of my skill zone. When I feel like this, I tell myself that it will all be fine as long as I try my hardest and shoot for the moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second part of the quote is \u201ceven if you miss, you\u2019ll land in the starts.\u201d If there is one thing I learned in life \u2013 it is that it does not always go as planned. I\u2019ve switched dream careers, moved houses, and more. This part of the quote has always reassured me. It reminds me that there is always a bright side in life. \u2018The stars\u2019 could be a less, a path in life you we\u2019re expecting, or personal growth. You have to miss the moon to find out what is on the other side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
