Leonard Nimoy, Spock from ‘Star Trek,’ has died. He had a long and successful career as an actor and director, but he was best known for portraying Spock in ‘Star Trek’ TV series movies. He died on Friday, February 27, and his son Adam Nimoy told CNN. He was 83. I believe that he was a little too young to die. He at least lived a great and happy life. He was a father a husband and many other things, but most importantly he will be remembered.

“The best way to predict your future

is to create it.”

Charles Ketterer

 

 Reflection: What I think he means by this is in order for us to have a future, we need to create one ourselves. We cannot just expect a future to be handed to us. Our behaviors and the way we act right now determine what our future will be like. If we are bad and do nothing but sit around and be lazy, then our future won’t have much for us, but if we are good and educated, then we will have a great bright future. 

"Bless You"

“Bless You”

The Romans said something similar to this and so did the Greeks. They said this to mean them good health or long life. We say this to make sure the person is ok or has a good health after. This was originally orientated over thousands of years ago. This originated around the country because people would hear others say it and so it became a traditional thing. This originally originated from ancient superstitions. Some people believe that a sneeze causes the soul to escape the body through the nose. Saying “bless you” would stop the devil from claiming your soul.

George Washington-Father of the

United States of America

“Associate yourself with

 men of good quality if

 you esteem your own

 reputation; for ‘tis

 better to be alone than

in bad company.”

George Washington

 Reflection: I think this means that it is best to be alone than with people who do not care for you at all. If you are with people who are a bad influence and tempt you to do bad, then you should not hang out with those people. You should hang out with people of good morals, good intentions, and good behavior. The people you hang out with will represent the way you are. If the people are bad, then others will you think you are to even though you might not be.
