Quotation Analysis
Quote: “No
trumpets sound when the important decisions of our life are made. Destiny is
made known silently.”
-Anges de Mille
“No trumpets sound when the
important decisions of our life are made. Destiny is made known silently.” When
the quote comes to mind, I can relate. I definitely agree with it. It says “no trumpets sound when the important
decisions of our life are made.” There is no rejoicing or rewarding. You
don’t need to be rewarded for making the right decisions in life. It should be
something that you just do.
Usually you want to make that
decision a priority. For example, the way I see it, you shouldn’t be rewarded
for going to college. That is something that you should just do. And if you
don’t go to college, nobody should have to punish you and you shouldn’t go
looking for a punishment, because it will come find you. You won’t have a
sturdy education, then you might not find the right job or one that you excel
at and has good pay. If you don’t have those things or at least a good job then
you won’t have any money to raise a family, let alone yourself.
If you do however except the
fact that you will not be rewarded when you make an important decision, people
will still look upon you saying that the decisions you make are right.
“Destiny is made known silently.” This is saying that once you do make those important
decisions, nobody is going to congratulate you but you know that you have made
the right decision and it will set a sturdy future for you.
Many times when I would do
something, I would ask my mom if I did a good job, as if needing her approval.
She says to me, “Jordan, if you think and know that you made the right decision,
then I am more than likely proud of you, but I am not going to reward you for
it because it is something that you should just be doing out of your free will
and not just for approval.” She was saying that when I make an important
decision that I should be, she isn’t going to rejoice because it is something
that I should do by myself but she is still very proud on the inside.
That quote reminded me of
what my mom would always say to me. I can very well relate to it and grasp the
concept of it.
