After watching the short clip of Ashton Kutcher's acceptance speech what did you take away from his advice? What does this quote mean to you -"Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you, and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use."

Ashton Kutcher's second point in his acceptance speech was to always be sexy, which is something in which he is VERY informed. What he meant by this is that being "sexy" in today's society has been so mangled and distorted. Being sexy, according to Kutcher, means being intelligent, thoughtful, and generous, which are all qualities that will take anyone far in life. These are key qualities of being a genuinely nice, "sexy" person. I support this belief. I do believe that the most attractive qualities are the ones he stated. Being attractive isn't always about how you look. It's about how you live. 

This quote is basically saying that you don't have to conform. You don't have to let society or the people around you influence how you want to live and how you want to act. One should create his or her own standards of living and shouldn't let others change that. For me, that means that I can live my life the way I want. I can have my own morals, I can believe my own religion, I can forget about what everybody else is doing, and build a world that means something to ME. For me, this means that the way I live my life should not be shaken by what the people around me say or believe. This supports a verse that I hold onto dearly, which basically says that I am not to conform of the world. I should not want to do what the world is doing. I don't have to drink this, do that, wear this, or look like that. I can do whatever I believe is right.
