"Honor and shame from no condition rise, Act well your part, there all the honor lies."

I think what Alexander Pope is saying here differs in all people's understanding. Well, I have my own opinion of what this quote means. For me, this means that any person, rich or poor, can attain power and fame. Even a very poor person can be honored. He can be honored if he has a good heart and a great personality. This also means that if we want to have honor and power, we should strive really hard. We should study well as students, work hard as adults, and aim for the highest. We should also do our best in everything we do no matter how easy or how hard it is. We should learn how to deal with problems in life so as to gain something from every mistake we do. We should not give up even for once in order to reach our goals in life.
