Did you try today...

Did you try today...

A Story by C. Lee Battaglia
"

Try... try and try!

"

Did you try today…?

Did you try to do your best today?

Did you try to make someone laugh?

Did you do your best in school?

Did you spend time with your family?

Did you spend time to see how your friends where doing?

Did you help someone in need?

 

Or…

 

Did you do your worse?

Did you sit down and be depressed?

Did you sleep through class?

Did you play video games instead of talking to your siblings?

Did you stay at home?

Did you sit down and watch TV all day?

 

What did you do today?

We aren’t perfect but we should try to do better and make others feel better…

I love how you put those simple questions into this piece! You know reading these questions it makes you realize if you did any of that. Most of the upper half is what I strive for everyday and I think that everyone else should. Great write even though it's simple! Keep writing!

Yes, I agree, our purpose, our very existence upon this earth, is to help others, for we are each nothing but ants upon this great colony earth, intended to give our lives, our very best, to see the good and the survival of our species ... Good thoughts!

These are the questions we should ask ourselves everyday. Beautifully put together. A strong message is conveyed in : "We aren’t perfect but we should try to do better and make others feel better". Nice write :)

Thanks Maddie!
This sends an awesome message. To be honest I spend most of my day doing my worst but I would actually like to do my best. I believe that true happiness comes from helping others in nedd. I also belive in the "go hard or go home" saying. You either give something your best or don't give it anything at all.
Great job here. Stay inspired.

We need to do our best daily. Lead with kindness and concern. Thank you for reading and the comment my friend.

True Chase! An idle mind is Devil's workshop! We should keep ourselves busy with something or the other and keep filling our life with colors-bright or dull! :).
Nice write! it drives you to think!

About
My name is C. Lee Battaglia and I love to read… I read so much that my Mom grounds me from reading and tells me to go do something else. I am 20 years old. I hated reading when I was little .. more..
