"Behold the turtle: he only makes progress when he sticks his neck out."

In order for a turtle to walk (make progress), he needs to pull his head and appendages out of his shell (stick his neck out). This can be uncomfortable and dangerous for a turtle because once any part of his body is outside of the shell, he is vulnerable to attack and injury. Just like humans, if we take on a challenge by doing something outside of our comfort zone (stick our neck out), there is always the risk of being judged harshly by outsiders. However, we will never be able to move forward with our lives (make progress) if we don't take the risks.

for sure, that's suitable to all intellectuals which consists of those on the left. George Orwell is a very exciting be certain, he replaced right into a leftist himself who understood being serious of your human being area is even extra major than defeating the competition. Victory skill no longer something in the adventure that your thoughts are unsuitable. good beliefs, ideology and intentions can nevertheless outcome in undesirable rules. The quote is about that and the habit of many intellectuals which consists of on the left to ignore and look down on recommendations and recommendations from the widely used human beings, even at the same time as they're a lot extra in holding with fact and straightforward experience, in my opinion. George Orwell replaced right into a loose spirit

This qoute is basically saying, that if you don't try new things, help someone, or just do something out of the ordinary, life can get boring.
This atributes to my life greatly, if I hadn't taken chance and such, I'd still be living under my moms roof and putting up with the mental abuse that comes with her boyfriends controlling nature. Instead I told people, made changes and now I'm happily living with my father and graduating from school this comming June.

i may only be in 8th grade, but im pretty sure i will be able to explain it!
this qoute is very simple to imterprte. it simply means that you may not want to take a chance, but it may be the only way you will move on. everybody comes accross these things in their everyday lives. it means take risks or you won't get anywear. for example, you may be looking at this great new job opening, yet u still have a job, taking the risk would be quiting the old job and hoping to score on the next one and move up.

Sometimes you have to take a chance to get ahead. For example, you may need to leave a job with no future and take another job for less pay but more chance of advancement.

To put it extremely simply...you have to take risks in order to make it further in life. Regret the things you did...not the things you didn't do.
