Les Brown Reflection
Les Brown is such an amazing person. He speaks with his heart! He has so much belief and faith that’s kept him going throughout life. That’s what makes people successful through their struggle they have to go through in order to get where they want to be. I am empowered by this video. I keep watching and listening to them over and over again. Les Brown is so inspiring. I enjoy listening to Les Brown. In fact, I know there are many times where I catch myself thinking of his many quotes. "No matter how hard it is or how hard it gets I'm going to make it.” What I learn from this video is that we should NEVER GIVE UP no matter what we do because if one person can do it so can another. And I guess I should start taking some action because without action there …show more content…
Les Brown motivated me and helped me see something I could not see for myself. My favorite part race is not in his message we all endure the same struggle. As he quoted, "It's possible, regardless of where I am, that things can get better for me.” This quote hit me like a sledgehammer, great words. What I got from this quote is that it is possible, life is not easy it takes time but it will all come together sooner than later. I have faith and believe that we can make it happen, we got to keep pushing and moving on because it is possible. Another thing he mentioned, "When you shoot for the moon and you come up short, you still end up among the stars.” I think what Les Brown trying to say is as long as you try to do your very best that is all that matters. For instance, you give something your best shot and even if it fails at least you tried and that gives you a lot of credit. I believe it is all about trying and working hard towards to that goal. This information in the video can help me achieve my goals. It will help me stay focused and motivated to work hard towards my goals in life. Les Brown made me realized that anything is possible this is life and hard work is required in order to achieve my goals and

    If you didn’t recognize that quote, it was from the famous Shia LaBeouf video. I know that my reenactment was hilarious, but I think there was a real message in that quote that I want you to think about. Think of something you want to do and think about the quote “just do it!”. People always say that they will do it tomorrow or soon, but I am talking about doing it now. With me being elected, I promise that I will make change in our chapter. One of my ideas includes changing our Stand UP, since it is hard to relate to those who are in poverty and homeless. We can change our Stand UP cause to working…

    He brought up the many accomplishments of African-Americans in the United States. He spent a lot of time referencing President Barrack Obama and the recent election. Personal involvement and interest was certainly indicated by the speaker by bringing up relevant past experiences throughout the entire lecture. His sentences were clear but if he felt as though they were not, Lee would go back and explain what he meant. His diction also expressed passion and seriousness because he occasionally used…

    When my friend stated that her major is biology and that she wanted to become a part of the medical field the doctor responded, “Hhmm, it’s a different world these days.” The doctor’s shady statement stuck out to me because it just goes to show the mindset that some people still have towards blacks in terms of their desire to want to do great things in life. Watching and noting Julian’s success reminded me that there will always be someone who will tell you or think that you are incapable of doing…

    I learned many new things from this video. I learned that many people died in the black’s non-violent revolution for freedom and rights. I also learned that most African Americans were paid an average of only about $700. African Americans were denied education at all white schools, and were only allowed a less than average education at black schools. Under the Supreme Court ruling in Brown vs. Board of Education, a number of African American Honors students integrated Little Rock Central High School in 1957. Every day they had to endure abuse from a huge angry mob that protested integration and wanted segregation. I feel that I would not have been able to put up with all that abuse. Those nine students that integrated Central High had great determination and never gave up hope. I also learned that it was a very long and hard struggle for all blacks during the Civil Rights Movement. The KKK terrorized blacks and killed them. Many African Americans were killed before they won the rights that they deserve. I was very proud of all the African Americans that participated in things like the Montgomery bus boycott because it showed that they weren’t afraid of standing up for themselves. I felt joyful that they always had the courage to stay non-violent, because if they turned to violence, the situation would not have turned out the same way. Now I will do anything that I can to eliminate discrimination of anyone because it is a very serious and destructive…

    The effect that was made in the students facing these problems in their schools was very terrifying, some of them were in a point of being embarrassed of their heritage. They were embarrassed of being Mexican Americans, and this was something that had to be changed. The rise up of the Chicano students to demand their district officials for equal education rights in their school, was a movement that made the Chicano voice strong not only at East LA but all over the country. This is one point everyone should be able to understand, the video gives us the struggles Mexican Americans were facing at the time, and how they became together to overcome this issue is an example of unity something that we need to do now a days to become stronger and make our voices heard as a…
