“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.”

Theodore Roosevelt

This quote means that whenever you are making a decision, always make the right decision. For example, you are at a party and there is alcohol and drugs and all your friends are telling you to try some. At that moment you should make the right decision, which is to walk away from the drugs and alcohol and get better friends. Making the right decision will benefit you in the long run. Another example is, you are invited to a party on a Wednesday night and you know that you have a big test the next day at school. You have to choose the right decision, which is to stay in and not go to that party. This will benefit you later because you studied all night and passed the test that you were working on. The best thing you can always do is choose the right. J

Progress Post

I have achieved 37 out of 224 goals since I started my life planning goals. Most of them are short term goals and that’s why I have been able to achieve them. I have many long term goals that are going to take me some time to achieve. In school I am doing really well except in one class. I am really trying my hardest to pass the class because I need it to graduate. Graduation is less than 2 months away and I am very nervous. I’ve done what was needed to be done this year for myself. I kept all my grades up and was able to attend and will be attending the senior activities. I hope that by the end of 2015 I have achieved most of my life planning goals and write in new goals.

“Make each day your masterpiece. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better, and over a period of time you become a lot better.”

John Wooden, UCLA

This Quote means that you have to apply yourself, as in is who you are each day. Every day you have to put in practice.  For example, you want to be the main dancer for a dance piece at your school. In order to get that part you have to be good. So every day you practice the routine over and over again. As the days go by you will see that you get better and better at it. You will see the results. If you really set your mind to something every day, you will become better at it.

“A promise must never be broken.”

Alexander Hamilton

This quote is pretty straight forward. Whenever you make a promise it must never be broken. For example, if you promise your parents that you will do better in school and pick up your grades, then that’s what you must do and not break that promise you made to them. You have to do whatever it takes to stay with that promise. That is doing the right thing.  Stick to your promise no matter what. 

“What you see is what you get” 

Anonymous 

 

This quote means that if you really strive for something and imagine yourself doing whatever it is then you will get there. For example, if you look in the mirror and see yourself graduating from college then it will happen. You just have to work hard and keep imagining yourself graduating. Like the quote says, what you see is what you get, and it is. You determine what will happen in your future and what you will do in your life. So however you imagine yourself that is how it’s going to be.

       This is something that I would get into. I love to work with cameras and shoot a variety of different shots in order to make a good film.

“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”

Henry David Thoreau

This quote means that goodness is the one thing that you will achieve and never fail. For example, if you are helping an elderly person crossing the street, then you are doing goodness and you aren’t failing at it. Doing good is not a hard thing to do. It is very easy for everyone and it is quite impossible to fail at it.

6. I wouldn’t want to break a world record because it seems kind of hard and you have to have some sort of talent. Well, maybe a be part of a mass record with a lot of people then I’d probably be up for it. I just wouldn’t do it by myself.

Reflection:

       I may be interested in this type of job. I love helping out people so this may be it. I don’t mind taking care of an elderly person and keeping them safe and healthy. My cousin has worked as one and she said that she enjoys it. she tells me that the not so good thing is that you may sometimes have to sleep at the persons help for over a week if you have to. So that’s kind of a thing that I wouldn’t want to do. But I will keep this job in mind.
