Rehugo: Unversal Truths
A. "Once you agree upon the price you and your family must pay for success, it enables you to ignore the minor hurts, the opponent's pressure, and the temporary failures."-Vince Lombardi.
"The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended- and not to take a hint when a hint isn't intended."-Robert Frost
B. The meaning for Lombardi's quote describes how family should stay united in order to survive in this lonesome world. In order for a family to reach their aspirations they need to bare through the trials and hardships together.Facing problems in life with a family accampanying you, gives you the people you can rely on for support.
The meaning for Frost's quote is that the advice or guidance from our brother, sister, or father should be taken into consideration instead of ignoring their thoughts. Their hints are what we need to accept, they are what expose their feelings to others in the family, saying they care. "Not to take a hint when a hint isn't intended" means that we shouldn't take each other's words so offensively. Occassions may occurr when one of the members are so enraged and words may be unintentionally said. We need not for us to hate our brother or sister for meaningless words acidentally spoken.
C. The first quote by Lombardi relates to all families who have a strong bond or a strong relationship today. Because of the idea from Lombardi families are content and happy, retrieving their goals because of the support from families. Especially, since our economy caused a lot of families to become poor, being together to bare the pain can help you reach the aspirations.
The second quote by Frost refers to families who are very comfortable and understand each other. Members of the family respect each other, while they aren't easily offended by words they say by accident. For example, many of the youth run away because of their parents blaming their problems towards them because of their stressful situations in their jobs, causing them flee from their homes. If the parent could only calmy explain their behavior and the child to understand then the family could become more in peace.

Facing problems in life with a family accampanying you, gives you the people you can rely on for support. - does this make sense to you? How could you change the syntax so it makes more sense?
