What's wrong with YOU!!!

Arrogance and rudeness are training wheels on the bicycle of life -- for weak people who cannot keep their balance without them.

  1. I believe this quote is saying that people that act ignorant, or who is extremely rude, really dont have a life ! If you have to act arrogant and stuck up and treat others like their worthless theres honestly something wrong with you... Theres no use of acting like your better than some else because eventually its going to hurt you in the long run ! So its best not to try and act rude and arrogant, because it will affect you later on.... !

  2. - What this quote is stating is that being arrogant and rude towards your peers will get you nowhere in life . If you think it's okay to be ignorant & rude it's obviously something wrong with you . Most people that act that way are 9 times outta 10 unhappy with theirselves and feel the need to put others down . Being arrogant is another thinq , it's not qood to think that your better then the next person either because nobody's perfect . Everyone makes mistakes and everyone has their flaws and beyond them all that's what makes you unique and beautiful in your own way . I guarantee for those of you who are arrogant and rude ; you will have a hard life and NO friends ; Soo therefore I advise for you to break them bad habits because it will help you in the long run.!

  3. Some people think it is funny to make fun of others and embarass them but there is a thing called "karma". It may be a myth or a folktale but this "karma" can really happen. I suggest bullies, or just ignorant people should step back and watch what they are doing because "karma" could hit you in the face hard. I believe that arrogant or rude people shouldn't deserve the good things they get if the good people receive bad things. I know that these arrogant or rude people will mess with the wrong person

  5. I think this quote is saying that some people live to be rude and ignorant towards others. Some people are unhappy with their lives so they take it out on others,such as bullies.Some bullies have been rude and ignorant most of their lives and when they try to stop they dont know how too.That is why I think Lou Holtz said that they can not keep their balance with out it,because its all they know.

  6. Well what I think this qoute is trying to say people use ignorance for a lot. mostly because they don't know something they judge it. But that's not all in all cases tho. Like sometimes the just don't know something like different foods. The foods can be foreign so they won't even try it becuase they aren't use to it. So they stick to their comforts zones which isn't good. But that's just my example and its what I believe why people use such ignorance at time.- Jordan grady -pd 9

  7. This quote means that rude and arrogant people live off of other peoples strugles.Seeing other people down may bring them joy. However some people are rude and arrogant when they lack knowledge or don't understand something. For example, my sister acts out in class only when she doesn't understand th lesson. Some people also act that way when they don't have anyone positive in their lives to look up to. It's as if the bike represents their lives and the training wheels are they people they are rude and arrogant to in order to live their lives.

  9. This quote means arrogance and rudeness are unnecessary traits the weak people display. Some people believe they are better than everyone and get satisfaction on belittling others. A true sign of weakness because everyone makes mistakes and we were all created equal. Being rude is very different from arrogance. I personally believe sometimes it is necessary to be rude with people but in a smart way. So its like out smarting them and making them seem dumb. Everyone usually learn how to ride a bike without training wheels hopefully they can cruise through life without training wheels also.

  10. I think this quote is saying that some people put others down because they don't like themselves. Some people have always gotten whatever they wanted, so they think others are lazy. In order to make themselves feel good, they like to put others down. I think you can be rude without being arrogant. Some people will not speak when they walk in a room, they are rude. However, some people will not speak to oters because they consider them as low class.I think these people are being arrogant.

  11. I think this quote is sayinq that arroqnace and rudeness will never qet you where you need to qo in life. When you are ridinq a bicycle that you don't have balance on, you can never reach the destination you are tryinq to reach. Arroqance is when you have the mindset that you are better than someone. When you think you are better than someone you can never qet anythinq accomplished because you are you are qoinq to need people to qet things done in your life. Rudeness is another factor that will never qet you anywhere because no one will want to be bothered with you because you don't know how to kind to people. Whenever you don't have the riqht spirit with people no one will want to be bothered with you or help you in life. So the next time you are rude to someone or arroqnat towards them, remember that one day that person will be the one to most likely help you in the lonqrun.

  12. This quote is saying weak minded people thrive on being arrogant and rude towards others. If they didn't have that, thier lifes wouldn't be complete. Some people wake up in the morning just too look down and do awful things to others. Life can become hard for them because they may never know who'll they will need in the future. Being arrogant and rude can no help you prosper in life. That can to you making many enemies. Basically hurting people is wrong, so don't do it.

  13. I believe this quote is directly speaking to those who have these traits . Many people lack self confidence which only causes them to potray such an attitude such as this.People could possibly believe being rude makes them superior or smater;but in reality it only shows who weak and little you think of yourself. I believe a smile to your enemies is the worst thing you can possibly do! It confuses them and really bothers them that you have much class for yourself.. I say be kind to your enemies never give them the pleasure of being rude back !

  14. In my opion this quote is self explanatory. For people whose lives contain arrogance and rudeness,they will never make it anywhere unless they have someone on their sides at all times. Just like riding a bike; if someone is new to this process they will need support which are the training wheels. "Training wheels" are just a cover up in life for people who need someone to fall on. Also this quote states that training wheels are for the weak on the bycicle of life. In this quote, the word weak is not used as a physical strength but as a mental strength.

  15. I think this quote is saying that arrogance and rudeness are tools of ignorance. They act just like a weak child learning to ride a bike. Weak people use these "training wheels". They use arrogance and rudeness to cover up for what they lack. They use it to make the strong weak. In return, they think its making them stronger. Well news flash, it doesn't. So grow up and find your balanced center without pushing someone off their bike.

  16. This quote means to me that younhave hidden yourself. You are this person that's just rude and arrogant. Only because deep down inside you are weak. You have to make yourself feel good by putting down others. If you don't you would have a serious break down. So you make yourself a certain wat that is not pleasing to others. Just so no one will see the low self esteemed person you really are.

  17. This quote is saying that people use their rudeness and arrogance as their weapon. People who are arrogant & rude usually are offended by people who are not afraid of them. Only the weakest use these as their tools. Also people that are like this doesn't have self confidence so these tools are for back up. These traits does not make an individual better than another. Take the trsining wheels of & learn to be confident .

  18. I think this quote is saying that for some being mean and rude to others makes them feel good about themselves. People use rudeness and arrogance as weapons so that they won't get hurt.Rudeness and arrogance will get you nowhere alone. People are only rude for two reasons to get a rise out of others and to hurt others. People are rude and arrogant only because deep down inside they are hurting or they feel really bad about themselves. You are rude because you want others to feel your pain. In reality your rudeness and arrogance shows how weak you really are.

  19. This quote is metaphorically comparing life to a bicycle and is saying how those who are weak lack the ability to stand with confidence, so they will use arrogance and rudeness as a crutch or an act to make it through life. But not knowing that any form of crutch will only make you weaker the longer you depend on it. So grow up, remove your training wheels, and learn to ride your two wheeler with the confidence life has intended us to live by.

  20. What does this quote mean to me? This quote is simply saying that people who are weak need to take the attention off of themselves. They do this by being arrogant and rude. They have very low self-esteem and want someone else to do down with them. Therefore they'll point out flaws and just act extremely sophomoric. They need that rudeness and arrogance to make themselves "cool" and get attention. When honestly they're getting all the wrong attention.

  21. -This quote saying that don't be arrogant and rude. We all need to fix our lives and not be selfish. People need to understand how bad other people got it. Let's not take everything for granted. We leed to replave the arrogance and rudeness for happiness and confidence. If one person is like that then that'll make more people that way. Change is for the better.

  22. Basically i think this quote is saying that people and their rude ridiculous ways have an unstable mind and is secretly weak on the inside. in this society you have the weak, rude, and arrogant people. those people are the scared immature ones that no one pays attention to witch really means that without the nasty attitude they would be extremely lost and could not possibly thrive without bringing about negativity.then you have the nice, respectful, and mild-mannered people who are highly looked up upon in this world today because of their character and how mature they are in life. you need all types of people in this world for example you have your bike, your bike doesn't just have wheels or just have handle bars different components and that's what brings the balance.

  23. I think this quote is saying that rudeness and arrogance are what those people who don't feel comfortable about themselves or don't know who they are need early in life. However, once they get rid of these things they'll discover who they really are. Then their life will go so much smoother.

  24. This quote means a lot to me. I'm so glad that someone finally put this message into a sophisticated quote. You see real life images of what this quote resembles in everyday life. The person that make the comments are filled with complete ignorance. Most of the time it is a person who has gone through a traumatic life problem. If the person just stops the foolishness, maybe their life will go much better.

  25. What this quote means to me is that rudeness and arrogance will get you nowhere in life. Sometimes you have to let go of where you came from and adjust to the real world. Once you let go of these two bad habits you will see a drastic change in your life. When you learn how to talk to people and become humble everything will work in your favor. This is what this quote means to me.

  26. This quote is very deep and gives a perfect analogy to the situation. Arrogance and rudeness are tow things most young and weak minds start off with. Those factors only show that you have a weak mind. There are many situations where this quote has applied greatly. Most of the time that person would either be young or have a weak mind. So when you get older and wiser you develop a better since in everything and no longer have the arrogance and rudeness you began with

  27. I believe this quote is saying that many people use arrogance and rudeness to cover up the real them by making them appear stronger and better than others. They think that if they make themselves seem better than others by treating them as if they are lower than them then maybe they will actually believe it too. But in all actuality they are not strong, they are actually weak and insecure about themselves, and that’s why they try to belittle others to make and let themselves gain a little more confidence without letting anyone know that they really don’t have any. Because when people are insecure they tend to have the need of making someone else feel low about themselves so they won’t be the only one and so they can feel as if they are better than someone even if inside they don’t believe that they are at all .Also when people are insecure they tend to distant their selves from others appearing to make them rude or stuck up but in reality they just don’t want anybody to see the flaws that they see , which causes them to be mean and rude to others so no one will find out the truth that they don’t have any confidence. But actually all they are doing is letting them know that they don’t have any because by them having an attitude all of the time or just them being mean to everyone shows it , because if all you do is try to put others down then people will soon realize that the only reason you do that is to just put yourself up. But if you really want to prove that you’re better than others you should just treat everyone nice and don’t belittle others. Because if people see that you never have nothing negative to say about anyone then they will realize and think that you have so much self-confidence that you don’t have to put others down by talking about them because you are not worried about making your self have confidence because you already have it . So I believe that we all should never act rude or arrogant towards others because we are strong even to let those training wheels off and just ride through life as a happy and positive person , and if we do so we will be able to make ourselves and this world better as a whole.

  28. This quote means that whoever that has to be rude or arrogant to get what they want will not get far. Arrogance will only get you to a certain point where someone will reject you in any form that may be. To me arrogance means that maybe you been expose to something so low in adverage that you think you can do better. Well its not nothing in the world that will always be the same adverage thee will be some low, adverage, and above. I see it as kill them with kindness.. Because killing them with arrogance or rudeness will back fire on you . That's what this quote means to me

  29. i think this quote is saying that people who are rude and arrogant cant live life with out doing it. in my opinion people who are rude to others must make them feel better about themselves. also that arrogance and rudeness does not make one person better than the other. being rude to others is just putting off something that you feel isnt good enough for you. in my opinion being rude is just another sign of jealousy. when you talk about someone or something (being rude) you must be upset that you dont have it or want what the other person has. being arrogant and rude isnt cute and make you as a person look bad.

  30. I believe this quote is saying that people who are rude and arrogant are people who don't like themselves. They act rude and arrogant so they can make others feel as bad as they do. They are afraid of success or maybe they have failed doing something. I also believe they are people who have low self esteem; therefore, they want others to feel bad. If you are arrogant or rude, I Adon't think you will get that far in life.
