A Quote is Never a Quote if it Doesn't Mean a Thing

Author's Note: This piece is about a quote that was in our story "The City Of Ember"

Every time I see the quote “The main thing is, pay attention. Pay close attention to everything, everything you see. Notice what no one else notices, and you’ll know what no one else knows. What you get is what you get. What you do with what you get, that’s more the point.” It really caught my eye when I was reading because it had so much passion in just a few sentences.

One reason I feel like this quote has a very powerful meaning is because if you don’t pay attention you could miss something really big that could help you along the way of your journey of life or anything for that matter.

Second reason is even if you’re not really on a journey or trying to find something it’s still a great quote because it’s true! If you actually listen to a teacher or your parents you’ll figure out that they are really smart and know what they are talking about.
