“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.”

Thomas Carlyle

 Reflection: If you do not have a goal, it is like not having a sense of direction. You have nothing to guide you. Your goal is what guides you, it is what you look forward to. The goal you set for yourself is the goal yo are determined to reach.

“The Six Pillars of Character”

1. Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship.

Respect: Treat others with respect. Use good manners, not bad language. Ex) if you are speaking with your mother, speak to her with respect and do not use bad language.

Responsibility: Do what you are supposed to do. Plan ahead. Use self-control. Ex) If you are assigned an assignment and it is do next week, do it ahead of time.

Fairness: Play by the rules. Take turns and share. Be open minded; listen to others ideas. Ex) if you are playing a board game with friends, do not cheat and play fair.

Caring: Be kind. Be compassionate and show you care. Express gratitude. Forgive others. Ex) Be nice to your mother and father.

Citizenship: Cooperate. Get involved in community affairs. Stay informed. Vote. Be a good neighbor. Ex) Clean up the streets in your community.

“I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.”

Sophocles

 

 Reflection: It is best to fail on something that you did correctly, than to win something that you cheated on. Wining is usually great when it is done honestly, but when you try to cheat in order to win, then you did not win honestly, not only did you cheat, but you also cheated on yourself. Losing isn’t always a bad thing, especially when you tried so hard to win, but instead of cheating you decided to be honest even if it caused you to lose.

“Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong.”

Wilford Woodruff

 Reflection: I agree with him because I believe that he is right. When you do something that is bad and or wrong, nothing good will come out of it. If you help someone do something that is bad, then you are just as much involved and going to be punished as they are. It doesn’t matter if you weren’t the one who thought of that bad idea, but if you participate in it then nothing good will come your way.

Baseball

Summary

Sara made a homerun in baseball for the first and last time. It was her last game when she made that homerun. She ran, and while running she hurt herself and fell to the ground. She tried crawling to home base but then two girls from the opposing team carried her to home base. This made me feel happy because it is nice to know that there are still good people out there willing to do the right thing. If I were to be in a situation like that, I would help out. I would never just sit around and watch the person suffer for what is right, I would help out because I want to do what is right.

Aging

Aging

There are many ways people can age a lot faster. People may not know this, but aging doesn’t just come with you getting older but with what you put and or do with your body. Smoking is bad for your health and can cause you to age quicker. Smoking can activate enzymes that break down the elasticity of your skin. Crash dieting can be a long-term threat. It can make you feel older my reducing your energy level. Not getting enough sleep is another big problem. It can keep you from functioning well during the day. It can also lead to wait gain. When skipping your fruits and veggies you do not get the nutrients you need for your skin and face. Holding grudges can cause you to get wrinkles and lead to bad health problems. Letting go of stress can help you avoid cognitive impairment and keep your mind young. Drinking alcohol is not good when you get older because it doubles up and you begin to age a lot quicker.

“True

Independence and

 freedom can only

exist in doing

what’s right.”

Brigham Young

 Reflection: What I think he means by this is that if you want freedom and independence in life, you have to be willing to do what is right. Doing what is right can get you a lot more things than you thought possible. No one will want to remember you as the person who did wrong all their life. They’ll want to be able to say that you were the one that always did the right thing no matter what other people thought and said about it.

An example of doing something wrong and losing your freedom is when you steal something or use drugs and get put into prison. Getting put into prison is losing your freedom because you are now locked up forever.

An example of doing something right and gaining your freedom and independence is studying hard in school and getting into a great university. That is doing what is right and being independent because you are now on your own making your own money and doing your own things.
