"Every job is a self-portrait of the person who did it. Autograph your work with excellence." From this quote there are many different meanings and many different ways to autograph your work.
Re-read the quote then tell us how you interpret this quote. Explain how you relate this to your school work and the things you currently do in your life. Finally how will you make sure to follow this rule when you are in the working world. When you respond to other students, because you know them so well, give them some constructive criticism about how they autograph their work. Remember - 1st post 150-200 words, each post to another student is 50+ words

What I believe in what it is trying to tell us is that what you do in the job is what you are like when you are out of it. And that you should leave a good mark when you leave for the day. This will go with school for me because if I’m having a bad day then my work won’t be as good as a regular day. And if I can have a good start to the day it might help me end the day strong. And when I am at home if I get a good night’s rest I can get throw the day without much trouble and maybe get something productive. And this goes with the working world for if I just mess around I won’t get anything done and everyone will be mad and I could lose my job or I won’t be paid for the day.

Mason, I think you are a very smart kid. You are very capable of great things. Like you said in your comment, sometimes you have a bad day so your work doesn't turn out the best. I think when you are having a bad day you should try and look at the better sides of things. You should try to go to bed at a decent time every night if that will help. I know you get frustrated sometimes, but just try and focus on your work and show people you are able to work through it.

Mason, great job. i thought you did good, but had run on sentences and i just thought you could have separated it a lot better and done more explaining. i noticed at least one typo in your note. when you said "get throw the day" i thought it was supposed to say through. you should always double check your work.

Mason, I think you did a good job at explaining what that quote meant to you, but what could do better at is what examples you give. You could use more details in your examples and explain them better. Other than that I think that you did a good job, and said what you wanted to say about the quote.

I think that this quote means that you need to be proud of whatever you do and take pride in all of your work. You need to want to put your name on all of your work or whatever you do so that everyone knows that you did it. I also think that by “Every job is a self-portrait of the person who did it” means that everything you do means that is how people will think of you, if you are a person that works hard every day and try as hard as you can then people will respect you and trust you more than if you were the kind of person that was late to work sometimes didn’t work hard. It will say a lot about you if you work hard at everything you do and want to make everyone around you better including yourself. I can follow this rule by being proud of my work and making all of my work is as good as it can be and working as hard as I can all of the time.

Maddy, I think that you always do your best when you do your work, but sometimes you procrastinate and have to rush to get things done. If I had to say one thing that you could improve on it would be to make sure that you are prepared and don't procrastinate.
Sydney
2/1/2017 02:16:19 pm
Maddy, you do a great job of autographing your work when it comes to your school work, your animals, or your sports. Yeah you might procrastinate a little, but I think everyone does at some point, but when you turn in your work, it shows what person you are. I think it shows it in a great way! Keep up your great work!
Jaden

I agree with Sydney and Alyssa you might need to work on being prepared and maybe not procrastinate so much. You do good on pretty much everything else. I also think that you are a good role model for other people to try to be like because you try hard in everything like basketball and whenever you make a mistake you always fix it. You also have good leadership skills.
Alyssa

I think that this quote means that everything that you do reflects on the kind of person you are. You should always do your best in everything you do so that you can autograph your work with excellence. I relate this to my school work because I always strive to do my best so I can get good grades. I also relate this to things in my life by working hard in sports and being prepared for things I have the next day. I will make sure to follow this rule when I’m in the working world because when I need to turn something I will want my best work to be on that so it will reflect the kind of person I am. I will make sure to be organized and prepared. If it’s sloppy you can tell that the person is a procrastinator or that they are lazy and don’t want to do it the right way.

I think that you are very good and making sure what you do represents you well. It shows that you are a hard working person and always get the right thing done. You always get your stuff in on time and you are organized.
Sydney
2/1/2017 02:03:24 pm
I think this quote means that the way you do things in life reflects on what kind of person you are. When you do a typed of work, you want it to be good. You want people to see your name on something amazing you did. The way you do things can describe how you are, so when you do your work you want to do the best you can because on some of the work you do it reflects the type of person you are and the one you want people to see you are. This relates to my school work because I always try and do the best I can. I do things the way I want people to see me. I also bring this into my sports, I always work my hardest and try to show people that I am someone who works hard. When I am in the working world I will follow this world by always putting in the best effort towards my work. I will show them that I am a capable and responsible person for the job or whatever it happens to be.

Sydney, I definitely agree with you about how you represent yourself as someone who works hard. I would say that you do really well in school, you’re responsible, and you also do an amazing job in sports. You’re so good at all of this because you work hard to be the best student/person/sportsman you can be. Putting in the work really does pay off.
Alyssa
2/2/2017 12:23:19 pm
Sydney, I think that you autograph your work great! You always work hard and do your best in school and sports. You are responsible and never lose things and when you do something or turn something in you can tell that you have worked really hard. Make sure that you continue to work really hard and do your best in everything that you do.
Teagan

Sydney I think that once you start something you are determined to get it done. This definitely reflects on your school work and shows how much dedication you have to the things around you. If you keep this up I think you will be really successful in the future.

The quote “Every job is a self-portrait of the person who did it. Autograph your work with excellence.” Is a good example of stating that everything that you do you need to put in effort. I think that the first sentence of it means that when you do some type of job or task that the outcome shows how much effort and skill that you put into it. By the outcome you can also see what type of person you are. For example if you try hard on a school assignment then you are more likely to get a good outcome then bad because you put effort into it. I think that the second part of the quote “Autograph your work with excellence.” Means that you put so much effort into the project that by the end after your done it is excellent. I can follow my quote by doing good in school so that by the time I graduate the colleges will look at me and think that I am a good student that they can have at their college.
Olivia

Jaden, I agree with your definition of this quote. What you do really does represent what kind of person you are. I think that you are a smart and responsible student because you work hard to do well in your classes. The same goes with how you treat others. I think you are a very nice person and that makes for a good reflection on yourself.
Maddy
2/2/2017 12:21:53 pm
Jaden I agree with what you said about the outcome can see what kind of person you are. It shows if you are a slaker or if you are someone who tries hard all of the time. I think that you sometimes procrastinate with what you do and sometimes wait until last minute.
Olivia
2/1/2017 05:32:26 pm
To me, this quote means that what ever you do is a personal reflection on yourself. If do something wrong, you should own up to that because you should hold yourself accountable for your actions. If you do something amazing that you are proud of, own up to it but stay humble in the process. I relate this to my schoolwork by working hard everyday to get the grade that I am proud of, the grade that represents what kind of student I am. This quote is also relatable to my everyday life because whatever I do, school related or not, is a reflection on who I am as a person. I try to be the best person I can be everyday to make my parents proud, my siblings proud, my peers proud, my teachers proud, etc. One day when I am in the working world I will apply this quote to my everyday life. I hope that I will always take responsibility for my mistakes, and also my successes. I hope that I will always represent myself as the person I want to be to make myself, and the people in my life proud of who I am.
Teagan

Olivia I agree with your thought on what the quote means. I think that you definitely reflect on your work and that if you work hard then your projects or assignments turn out good too. You definitely reflects in your work at school.
Danner

I would agree with you about the quote meaning that what you do and how you do it is a reflection on yourself. You have a good reflection because you do well in school and are a reliable friend. People can count on you. You should be proud of who you are.
Teagan
2/2/2017 03:34:19 pm
I interpret this quote as meaning that your work is reflected through you. If the work is reflected through you then you should be proud enough to sign your name on it. I can relate this to my school work because any project that I do at school shows how hard I worked on it and whether I was taking it seriously or not. I will make sure to follow this rule when I am in the working world by working hard so that my boss or employer can see how dedicated you can be to the job or career you are in. If I am showing how dedicated I am I will most likely get or keep the job or career that I am in.
Brooke
2/2/2017 06:36:00 pm
Teagan, I totally agree with you, your work does reflect how hard you work in school and you get the grades you deserve. You can tell how hard you work on your assignments at school and they usually do turn out great. I also agree that if you show how dedicated you are you will probably get or keep the job you want or are in.
Danner
2/3/2017 11:14:00 pm
Teagan, I agree with you that it shows that you are a hard worker in school. i see you getting good grades and doing well on projects. This shows me that you care about your work. I think that everyone will agree with you that this is also an important part of getting and keeping a job.
Brooke
2/2/2017 06:25:52 pm
I think this quote means that everything that you do creates the person you are, every decision you make can affect that, and you should always give it your best and be the best you that you can be. One way I can relate this to my life would be how I always give my school work my all so that I can get good grades. I also give my all when I participate in sports or a task I have started. I will make sure I follow this rule when I am in the working world by trying to set a good impression for younger children that look up to me like my little sisters and brothers and I will make sure I follow this rule by doing my best when I do something so that it will let others see what a good person I am. I will also try to stay organized because people who aren’t organized can tend to be lazy or not wanting to do things and these people tend to set a bad example.
Kelsey
2/3/2017 12:38:15 pm
Brooke I agree with everything that you said, but i would say that you procrastinate at some things not all things but some things. You don't procrastinate on everything but some things you tend to. I do the same thing so we both need to work on that.
Evan

How I interpret the quote is every job shows a little bit about how somebody thinks and how they are. It shows how they use their intellect and their creativity, and if they are responsible. In the second part of the quote, I think what it means to autograph your work with excellence is to put your best effort in to each and every job and task you do. It can relate to school because your grades are a reflection of you, in how you work and how responsible you are. It can relate to almost anything, like sports. In basketball, you must work hard and play your position to the best of your ability, and work as a team. Depending on how well you do that job determines whether you play. I will make sure to follow this rule by always doing my best at every job and task sent my way.

Evan I think you did a exultant good at describing what the quote might be about and the way you describe what you will do for a way to remember a way of remembering the quote. And how you describe what the quote might have any way this could work with.
Jack Lyle
2/3/2017 12:27:05 pm
what this means to me is that your job is a self portrait of who you are, and to work hard to "Autograph" you work. This relates to my school and what i do at home because i try hard on my homework so that i can pass the class and if i'm sick i try to do it within the week. this relates to my life outside of school because if my dad asks me to do something i want to do it good, and fast. I can remember this rule by remembering it and thinking about it every so often.
William
2/3/2017 06:41:48 pm
jack i agree with you, however i think you could have done a lot better. i know you very well jack and i know that you can type and find a topic. even with this topic given to us i thought you could have explained this a heck of a lot better, but that is just my opinion. other than that i think you did a very good job.
Mason
2/3/2017 07:20:38 pm
Jack when you did this you did a mostly good job at describing what you believe what the quote said. What you could have done a bit of a better job at describing it in both every day and on a work bases. And giving a way of describing a way of remembering.
Evan
2/3/2017 10:51:28 pm
Jack, though I understand what you said, it was a bit hard to figure out. You could be more detailed while you explain what you mean, and same goes for the examples. I feel that you may have been in a hurry, and think you could have put in more effort, but other than that, you have explained what it means to you, and how you will use and remember it.
Kelsey
2/3/2017 12:35:34 pm
I think that this quote means everything you do tells people what kind of person you are. I relate to this quote in my school work because even though I don’t get good grades on everything I do I still try my hardest and if I get things wrong and I don’t understand I just ask questions to better understand them. My grades are not the best but everything thing I do is all that I can do to get the best grade that I can get. I will make sure that I follow this rule because I will put forth all of my effort to make my work the best that it can be.
Briielle

The way I interpret this quote is that every job shows what a person is like. If they do a good job on it and took their time to make it good, then the person is obviously a good and hardworking person. If a person rushes through it and does half the job right, then that person isn’t very trustworthy or hard working. As for the autograph part, I took that as the quote basically stating that you don’t want your job to be signed with something along the lines of “didn’t bother trying”. This relates to school and basketball because in basketball, you don’t want to give half the effort you could be giving because everyone else is relying on you. In the working world, I will follow this rule by remembering that the job I do portrays the type of person I am. I won’t get a job if I only fill half of the application.
William
2/3/2017 06:33:46 pm
The way i interpret this quote is that people should take pride in what they do. Like say an artist for example, most artists sign their work in some way, shape or form. I think this quote has a lot of meaning behind it. When people do great work i think they should be proud and have a way of letting people know that they did that work.
Taylor

I think that the quote means that you need to take pride in all of your work. Putting your name on your work shows that you put lots of effort and it shows what kind of person you are. I relate this to my work by trying my best. I will admit that I often procrastinate and get behind. I can also relate this to outside of school because I take pride in what I do for my community and what I do for the people I work for. I try my hardest at making sure that kids are well taken care of and keep them safe. To follow this quote in the real working world I will remember that your work shows what kind of person you are, and I don’t want to be considered a bad person. So I will remember it to encourage myself to improve my talents and skills. I will also put a great amount of effort into my stuff so I also don’t look lazy.

When I read the quote "Every job is a self-portrait of the person who did it. Autograph your work with excellence" I think that it means that a job well done reflects on you. A job done poorly reflects on you as well. To have people think well of yo,u a person should always do their best. I can relate this to sports and my school work. In sports, when I work hard I become better and perform better in games. In school, if I study hard on a test or work hard on a project then I get a good grade. People can see this and it reflects on me as a person. This applies to the working world because I would not want to get fired. I would work hard so that my bosses and coworkers saw me do a good job. It says a lot about a person if you are a hard worker. Comments are closed.
