That 90% could be horrible or great depending on how the first 10% is acted on.

"Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it." I agree with this quote because your life is what you make it. You can either have a good life or a bad it just all depends on your reactions.

I agree simply because this is true the reaction of a outcome only leads to what happens or what comes after.

I agree with the quote "Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it." ,because if you react to a situation in a negative way it's like your adding fuel to the fire. Never feed fire with fire ,because your problems will only multiply. If you react in a positive way ,Then the outcome will take you along ways in life.

You can’t control a lot of what happens in life, but you can control how you let if affect you .You can choose to keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason then enthusiastically seek that reason.

I agree with you, you can't control what happens in your life. But you can control how you react to it.

I agree with you. You cant always control what happens to you in your life. But you can make a choice between rising from it or falling because of it.

Vanessa Crowe

Its saying that 10% of what happens to you is only a small situation that is not that bad and 90% is how you react to it how would you make the situation better

Kendall Jarvis

2/25/2014 06:17:52 am

I agree life is 10% of what happens to you. Because lots of things will happen to you in life. But how you react to it determines who you are in the future.

I agree with the quote because whatever happens to you most of the time you cant control because things happen thats life. Though depending on how you react to it can make the bigger difference to better your life

Darrian Bryant

I agree that "Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of your reaction to it" because it is a true statement and I am living proof of it. if something terrible has happened to you in the past, it's up to you to decide if you are going to let that take control of your life. Either you let your struggles make you stronger and motivate you to do better or let them be the reason or excuse as to why your life has taken a turn for the worst.

I don't agree with this statement. Life is full of choices every choice comes with a reaction. you could look up instead of down and walk into a wall. life is full of choices and reactions.

Tyionna McConic

life goes on your actions and reactions so you should choose wisely what how react to certain situations

Brianna Elliott

2/26/2014 04:13:52 am

Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it." is a true statement because life is going to throw everything at you, but you have to be tough enough to catch it and throw it back harder. Life is not always going to be in your favor but you have to make the right choices.

Abrasia Smith

"Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it." I AGREE ! 10% is the problem your in and then the 90% is the situation and how your going to handle it. If that's the choice you made that's the life style you have chosen for yourself because it was on you to make the decisions.

Itzel Gutierrez

2/27/2014 01:12:22 pm

I agree with you. We have many choices we can choose from and upon the situation we have the freedom of choice towards a situation.

Tyionna McConic

The quote is saying what happens to you is not everything but how you react to the things that have happened is most important.

jessica thompson

2/26/2014 11:11:47 am

In some situations people can not handle the outcome of things that are occurring but in ways how you handle something is how things change rather good or bad. The quote "Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it" is simply true because life happens no matter what but you have the ability to change it depending or your actions after.

Korrigan Cross

2/26/2014 12:30:17 pm

I agree with you jessica because life is going to throw many things about you and depending on your reaction things could go good or bad for you

Korrigan Cross

I like what this quote is saying because most of our lives are spent reacting to what may occur in life. For example, a death in a family member or friend. Simple thing is that they passed away. The complex thing is how long you are grieving about it. It could take months and more commonly, years. More time is spent reacting to the death , rather than how long it took for them to die.

Demarcus Allen

The quote explains that there are many problems in life but how you react to the problems can determine how bad the problems really are.

Brittanie Deleon

Meaning there is always something happening, that's not what's important, that's why it's only at 10 percent significant. On the other hand 90 percent of the way you react could make the worlds difference in the situation. Therefore, choose your actions wisely.

Michael Davis-Gay

This statment is saying in life you are going to have trails and tribulation but how you react to the situation is 90 percent of what the outcome will be.Its like saying when life gives you lemons you make lemonade

Devante Dickerson

I disagree but yet also agree with the quote because life is full of choices and what you choose can mold you vary future but yet life is what you make it.

"Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it" is a true statement because that 90% of how you react is what your brain is processing before you do some, while that 10% is how your body reacts to the situation (what you do). It is 90% mental and 10% physical.

Dashonique Lee

2/27/2014 05:54:57 am

I agree with the quote because you are going to have a lot of challenges in life and it is your choice on how you react to it. I feel that 10% is your life choices and 90% is how you react to it. life is what you make it, so make better choices in life.

Miracle fuller

I agree because if something happens to you how you react can affect the way the situation is handled

Itzel Gutierrez

2/27/2014 01:08:27 pm

I agree that "Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to them", becuase attitude plays a big role in situations. For example, if an argument is taking place and you're part of it, the only way it can get worse or be solved is by the attitude you're confronting it with. Otherwise, if you talk back with anger in your tone of voice it will only make things worse. What happens to us is only a portion of the situation, whether it being good or bad. The other portion is how we react to it. We decide on the other 90%.

devante rogers

2/28/2014 01:43:10 am

I fully agree with this quote because your attitude effect Your future and the way you act is the way things affect you

Aiyzasha Poole

Life is what you make so I understand where the 90% come from. The 10% of life that happenes to you is going to happen regardless weather you want it or not. Weather it is good or bad you can help that 10%. How you react to the 10% is everything. Your reaction , that 90% can makes your life what it is. So I agree with this statement completely.

I agree with the quote,because everybody have problems in they life it's up to you how you deal with them.
