Journal # 37 4/4/06

Read the following quote and respond by either analyzing what is being said or reflecting personally through your own experience. Please use the SAT Word of the Day in your answer.

SAT WORD:
Substantiated (sub STAN shee ayt id)--supported with proof or evidence; verified Examples:
  • The discovery of fingerprints substantiated the detective’s claim that the suspect had been at the scene of the crime.
  • You need more proof--you have nothing to substantiate your claim that Jamie stole your bracelet.
QUOTE:
The past is a ghost, the future a dream, and all we ever have is now.
Bill Cosby

Always look back or waiting for something to happen is not substantiated to life. You must live for today.

Today we substantiated Bill Cosby's quote. The past is the past it is what we remember yet not focus on. Its the ghost of our lives. The future is what we want to achieve and dream for. Its the dream of what we want. And what we have right now is now. There is no better day than what we have right now.

The past is dead, over and done with, and the future has not come to pass so it is merely a dream. This is not a quote that can be substantiated with anything but opinion, but I do agree with it. It's not entirely original either, because many people have said similar things, just in different words.

Oh woops missed this one too, get the substaniated proof that this was here the day that which was today and you will find that there isn't a day like 4-4-06. Bill Cosby is my gangstar! He has a way with words, and actually I kinda like the way he put it. I've seen this quote a thousand times but nothing has really caught my eye quote like this one.
