  7. i think he means that we set our goals low so we can reach them instead of setting them high because we are afraid of failure.

  12. It tells us that we dream too big, and our goals and dreams are sadly missed, but when we aim for something low and not that big, we reach that goal. This is mostly true, but obviously some people have their goal reached, and that could be anyone!

  13. It means that people don't set their standards high enough and end up not reaching their goals in life.

  14. i think the quote means some people want to push there self to go higher and some people set there goals to low to where they know they will reach it. i agree with this quote.

  15. This saying means that if your set your goal low them it will be easy to reach it but if you set it higher than you want it to be, it will take more work to reach it. You always want to set your goals higher than you want it to be. I agree with this quote.

  16. that we don't set our goals high enough and we set them to low so we don't have to try to reach them. so we never achieve what we really want to achieve.

  17. when you set your goal higher then it will be like a challenge to you and if it is lower than it is easier to accomplish.

  18. people are seating there goals to high and not reaching what they want. but when they are seating them low how they have been they are getting right on and not making much progress.

  19. I think this means that you didn't set your goal high enough for yourself. If you set your goal really low that means you don't want to try and you don't care.

  20. I think that Michelangelo Burornarroti is trying to say that people make a goal they are sure they can reach instead of making one that they are going to have to work hard for. I agree with him because i think most people don't really want to work hard for what they want, so they just go for the easier goal.

  21. The meaning of the quote is that anybody can sucseced the most easist goal while people are try hard's they set goals to high they miss their goal while people take on step at a time I do agree with the quote as the theme of the quote is take goals one step at a time, take your time and you will have sucsess.

  22. I think this quote means that everyone tries ,but they don't try hard enough. I agree with this quote because these days many people don't try hard to finish things.

  23. people set their goals to low because the dont feel like moving on

  24. A goal you already achieve gets you no were in life, the goal that you set high will help you succeed.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I think that this quote means that we all set goals that are to low and we are not pushing are selves to go further and make bigger goals and reach them. It is also saying that we need to stop setting so many low goals that we reach and make more that we are needing to work towards and reach for them and push our selves.

  29. People set goals that are high that they think that they can reach when they can't. They should set goals that they can actually reach, if they can't reach it then they shouldn't set a goal for it.

  30. I agree with this. The quote is saying strive to get a better higher goal and not set it to where you know you can reach it. If the goal is set low you aren't pushing enough

    ReplyDelete
  31. that people do not set high enough goals they set goals the know that they know for a fact that they can reach. we reach low goals in life and not set the bar very high but rather low.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Setting a goal that is high can help you succeed more than rather strive for a goal that has already been reached.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I think that this means that people set their goals lower than other because they thing it will make it easier to reach them goal's.

    ReplyDelete
  34. People don't set their goals high enough for them to achieve their goals. If they set it at a low score then they will be able to reach it better. & yes I do agree!

    ReplyDelete
  35. i think it means never stop trying at what you love

    ReplyDelete
  36. I agree with this photo and how it is told. I agree with it because it fits modern day society because they set there goals low in order to achieve them. But its better to fail and try again than to succeed without any real accomplishment.

  37. i think it means that you made something that you were truly scared that you would never make it. i think it is wrong, because if you truly want to make something then you won't be scared to make the goal.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I think that some people know that they can reach a harder goal, but want to go for a easier one. Some people can reach a higher goal, but they just don't try. Anybody can reach a goal if they try their hardest.

    ReplyDelete
  39. That peoples goals are not set high enough and it is to easy for them to reach and I agree. Because some people try to have a hard goals that is still reachable and others try to have easy goals that they know they can do easily and with out a sweat.

  40. I Agree Because if you set my goal to low it will be to easy to reach, but if you set it high it will be harder to reach and give you a good challenge.

  41. The only reason why people set goals really low because they know that it is easier to reach. I agree because I don't really want to try hard to reach a goal but I like to take the easier way out of it. I don't want to push myself and not anyone else wants to either.
