"'Everett was strange,' sleight concedes. 'Kind of different. But him and McCandless, at least they tried to follow their dream. That's what was great about them. They tried. Not many do'" (Krakauer 96).
Topic: Inspiration or Fool?
I found this quote very inspiring because it made me think about how many times I've had a goal and I always did my best to do everything that I could to reach my goal and most of the time I found myself giving up. McCandless didn't have the best ending to his journey/life but he died happy and I feel that is what matters most. This quote in a way inspires me to go out and step out of my comfort zone and make great changes in my life for the better. It has always been so hard for me to step out of my comfort zone but I realize that if I never come out of my comfort zone then nothing in my life will ever change. It also inspires me to push through difficult times and to not give up so easy. Even though Everett and McCandless were a bit strange they knew exactly what they wanted out of life and they never gave up on trying to accomplish dreams that would have seemed crazy to us and to them. Difficult, but not impossible to achieve.
