Journal #5 2/8/06

Read the following quote and respond by either analyzing what is being said or reflecting personally through your own experience...

I set goals, take control, drink out my own bottle
I make mistakes but learn from every one
And when it's said and done
I bet this brother be a better one
If I upset you dont stress
Never forget, that God isn't finished with me yet.
Tupac Shakur

Tupac is really deep with life in words. To me i think he's trying to say that that most humans are meant to make mistakes, no one is perfect at all. learning from other peoples experience is another way to prevent you from getting caught up in the situation they've been in.(preventing a mistake.)

i believe the poet is saying that he is responsible for all his mistakes and do not regret them. when he makes a mistake he only becomes more knowledgable for the next time. when he says "God isn't finish with me yet," i think he is trying to say look past his negative behavior towards you because God will be the one to punish him.

No other man is responsible for another mans decisions in life except the man who makes them. That's what I got out of the quote. You may have a gun to your head or have to steal to survive, but you make the decision to keep going. Also, what Wendell said about the God thing, that's true as well. Deep!

I believe that 2pac is only saying that he, himself is not perfect and gd is not finished sculpturing him into the person he is suppose to be, at least not yet and also he is saying that if he comes across to you as a bad person, just remember that he is not perfect and no one really is. He knows that he is responsible for his own mistakes, and he knows that by making his mistakes will only make me learn and know what to do for the next time.

what i got out of this qoute is that everyone makes mistake, and its not how they are made its what you learn from it to prevent yourself from doing it next time.a way to prevent you from making a mistake is to learn from some one else's. when tupac states "God isnt finished with me yet" i feel that he is saying that he has more mistakes ahead of him so that he can become the person god wants him to be.

i agree with tupac when he says he makes mistakes but learns from them. it's the same way i learn. by making mistakes and accepting i was wrong and learning from them.

We learn from our own mistakes, but there's a certain pride in knowing that the individual is responsible for the choices made and their own growth.

I belive that this quote represents the strugle people go through every day. As you grow up and become an adult you have to learn to be independent and as you fall you have to get back up. Never let nothing hold you back.

I BELIEVE THAT TUPAC WAS SAYING THAT HUMAN IS HUMAN. PEOPLE WILLMAKE MISTAKES BUT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO LEARN FROM THEIR MISTAKES. NOT ONLY TO EXCEPT THEIR MISTAKES BUT TO UNDERSTAND AND TRY TO IMPROVE, IT IS ALL A LEARNING EXPERIENCE.

Coming from a modern-day prophet,
I believe this quote signifies
that once a character makes a mistake,
ones character becomes stronger and wiser,
“brother be a better one”.
ALSO BASICALLY TO NOT TO GET UPSET FOR HIS MISTAKES BECAUSE HE "AINT"....AND YES ROUNDS I SAID "AINT" GOING ANYWHERE! AND I MEAN “NO WHERE”!!!
