This is one of my favorite quotes, and it was written by Dr Seuss. Often regarded as a mere childrens author, I find him one of the most inventive yet simplistic poets which I have ever read. Recently, I have begun to think on how difficult it is for most people being teenagers and if I were to offer myself advice, it could not be better phrased than this. May I offer you, whoever you are, this very same advise. It is important to keep all things in sight at all times, and one of the most important things is to keep who you are in sight. Situations which many people find themselves in often compel them to act as they would not usually, however this need not be the case. Throughout the teenage years, we often feel the effects that peer pressure have and often succumb to it without realizing. But when we are faced in a dilemma, it is based just to think on this: What would I do in this situation? What would I really do if I had time to think on it? Dr Seuss (though only his pen name of course, with a name like that) says that there is no one alive who is you'er than you. I reckon he is 100% right. You are the only person who can affect what you do, and nobody else can make you change your opinions, they are entirely up to you. Please just remember this too, keep that in mind, if only for a week. Perhaps you should also make this a New Years Resolution. I myself do not have one but if I did, this would be on the list. I hope that you had an agreeable New Year and entered 2012 with the best ideas for the future ahead! Good luck to everyone and I hope 2012 will be a spectacular year for all.
