401 Entries for “example”

  1. Sometimes you need to be led by examples. Sadly my father chose not to be an example for me so I never knew how to be a real man. All young men should have the chance to me led by a positive male figure; an example of what to aspire to.

  2. I want to be your example someday. Not because I want you to want to be me or do what i’ve done but because I want to do something that surprises me and has the ability to surprise others. I want to have impact. I’m too afraid of death to be mortal.

  3. The man grabbed the soldier. A simple threat wouldn’t do this time. No. He had to set an example for the rest of the world. He had to make them see what he was capable of. They had to know that he would never do anything but what he said he would, whether in public or in private. He took the dagger and grabbed the soldier by his hair. And then he slit the man’s throat.

  4. Once upon a time there was a bear named Fred. Fred was a teacher bear. He taught math. One day Fred gave his class an example problem. The problem was 2+2. Half the class said 4. Half the class said 5. Half were slaves to Ingsoc.

  5. anyone can be an example. You have to choose to live your life as an example for the better, to represent the best of society, the best of life, the best that you know. An example can be powerful, can teach someone how to live their lives. Be an example. Live the example. It’s not hard, all you have to do is be you. Be you and no one else, and no one can ever take that away from you.

  6. an example is something that everyone looks to as a standard. an example is a standard. do i feel like a standard? i don’t know. but i am an example. in math, an example is supposed to help you with the problem at hand. how is looking at me supposed to help others with their own problems? i have no idea.

  7. Set an example. Tell no lies. Lead a good life. Don’t ever lie. If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. Play fair. Don’t fight dirty. Keep calm. Relax. Set a good example for the kids.

  8. i hate giving examples in presentations and class. i understand the concept and theory but giving an example, though providing legitimacy, always make me nervous because any example used to support a point, doesnt really matter since there are often counter examples to prove the exact opposite point
    for instance
    case in point

  9. Give me an example, of how you want things to be. Then I’ll understand better, perhaps put myself in your shoes. I’ll know how you feel, or how I should make you feel. But then again, will you listen to my example too?

  10. I will show you an example of what it is like to be lonely. I am tired of my friends being such jerks to me. I want a boyfriend. I am too ugly. No one will ever want me. I am bored. I am hungry. I have too much homework to do. this is an example of my life.

  11. I am an example of someone with writer’s block. An example of an ex pot head trying to fill her days that are no longer consumed by staring into space and giggling at random, fleeting thoughts. Today is an example of a long Sunday where hitherto I would have been munted. Not today. Today is an example of a free thinking Sunday.

  12. Examples are something you need in everyday life. You need an example to show you what to do, to model what your life needs to be patterned after. You need an example math problem to help you figure out where to go next. You need an example of a business model to know what steps to take next.

    But sometimes, you are the example. Sometimes, you are the example others need to follow. What then of the rules? There are none. So live your life. You’re the example. You’re the one everyone follows.

  13. The world is a game of “Follow the Leader”. Imagine a line of children playing in the school yard. The leader hops across the yard, and the child behind her follows. The third in line slaps the fourth in line to mess up the chain. Follow the Leader. This is life.

  14. Here’s an example. If I could help you with math I would. If I could help you with something I would. If I could make you smile, simply, I would.

  15. Everyone follows by example. For example, I see stars getting vajazzled and instantaneously, I too want to get vajazzled for no apparent reason.

  16. I should’ve followed them.
    When I had the chance.
    But that chance is gone.
    I write.
    Here.
    Lost.

  17. You’re suppose to set an example, because you are an impressionable young man a d you should tell kids to stay in school and not to drugs. Except the truth is you skipped a few classes here and there; you even smoked for a short period, so you really should not be the one st di g up here on this poldeum I your suit pretending you know better because let’s be honest, you are an example of all those bad things and how one can still be successful in the end. So the morale? Be who you are and maybe, whether or not you really truly do qualify, you could be the example that leaves an impression on some kid or person…you laugh.

  18. for example, many people often go through their lives without stopping to smell the roses or thinking outside of the box, but life means living what ever you want to be be it!

  19. i think i am a really good example for those younger than me. This is because i have grown into someone who has values and sticks to them. i also have a clear vision of who i am as an individual and i refuse to change for anyone or anything. i hope that the freshmen will find the privilege of learning about themselves by the end of high school like i did.

  20. an example of life. of a life form. sweet, hollow, shallow….empty. she was crying but no was paying attention. it would not work this time for her.
    she must find a new way. she must learn, improve. develop herself. update.

  21. Give me an example. Show me. Show me something that has never been done before. Examples are so difficult to play out. As is writing about them because they are infinite in their subjects.

  22. this is the example, what you’re supposed to be. or at least a basis from which you can modify your own, individual response. but in truth, how can any response to the word “example” be original? doesn’t everyone have the same definition for the word, or same understanding? while our impressions may differ, we are from the same essence.

  23. It represents something; a model of something.

  24. for example, ill show you everything how i do it and then you try. for example, take this fish and imagine asking it to enjoy the water it would say, “whats water?” for example, if that were to fail i would just sit and then try again. for example, burning the house down would be against the rulels”

  25. Examples are fictional in most cases, so they aren’t even examples…

  26. I love chicken…okay my life is rough… my dad is always being an ass and my mom is having the brunt of it. Im in the middle trying to deal but nobody listens to me even tho i am right. I hate my life in a nutshell and all that is good about it is my friends.

  27. An example is a synonym, a description, an approximation of what we are referring to.

  28. There’s good examples, and
    there’s bad examples. For some reason, us humans love & crave bad examples. A bad example always has a good side to it. I don’t know why but that’s how it is..

    we all crave evil.

  29. can you give me an example?

  30. Example: Don’t get your hopes too high. I did and now I’m sitting at home on a saturday night staring at my phone wishing he would call. It will only break your heart.

  31. Examples are what help me learn math. They can be very helpful to see how to do something or the steps to do something. They can also be a huge pain to take notes on, as they make the notes about two times longer. However, I would be lost without them and appreciate them.

  32. May you read this in time and come to know what I mean when I say show me.

  33. You set quite the example for failure.

  34. I set examples for people wherever I go. Or, at least, I try to. I want little kids to look up to me, like the good girl you see in the movies. I don’t want them to see the mess that I’ve become. I want them to see an example of someone they should be when they grow up. Good grades, good friends, good girl–drug free, laughing, and witty.

    That’s the example I hope I’m setting.

  35. what i am to my kids and to the people in my life

    by Andy on 03.05.2011
  36. When I think of example, I somehow think of perfection..detail. I don’t know why, then that leads me to life and life is nothing near perfection, which gets me thinking.. Daydreaming.. Wondering what life would be like being with perfection.

  37. As pertaining to, a similar object that relates.

    by Martin R on 03.05.2011
  38. i’ve been chosen to be the example. but what am i to example, and for who? i’m just another person stuck in the plethora of lost souls known as the universe. who am i trying to impress? who am i to be an example to? no one, no one but myself.

    by Roland on 03.05.2011
  39. How could I put this? There is no example of one’s life.. Life is not planned.. You just go along with what happens, its unpredictable. And thats one of the things that pisses me off about it.

    by Me on 03.05.2011
  40. an example of what?
    negativity? disrespect? hypocrisy?
    no, trust.
    for example, believing in everything that’s said.
    trusting in the ones who trust back
    it’s simple
    until it isn’t
