“Statistically 100 percent of the shots you don’t take don’t go in.” – Wayne Gretsky

     If someone lives their whole life afraid to accomplish their dreams they may never see what it is like to enjoy life. To feel that feeling of accomplishment you get when you go after your dream and achieve it. If you never take a shot you will never make a basket, which is exactly what this quote is trying to say. Don't follow someone else's dream for you, but instead follow your own. If you don't want to be a doctor, lawyer, or rocket scientist then don't try to be just because someone else says that is what you should do. If you do things like that to impress other people you're losing in the long run. You should follow your dreams on your own agenda because you want to. If you want to be a mechanic but your family is full of lawyers that's okay. Just like it's okay to be a lawyer if you family hates them. If you never try anything for yourself though, you will never know what it's like to live life for yourself.
