“Our very business in life is not to get ahead of others… but to get ahead of ourselves.”

Thomas S. Monson

 This quote to me means that we have to get ahead of ourselves in our life. We shouldn't strive to get ahead of other people but to get ahead of yourself. You shouldn't try to be better than someone else because then you won’t be surpassing them but end up under them. You have to be better than yourself in anything meaning, that you should be doing things to your fullest capacity. You should never give up and keep going and doing well. Our job, like the quote says is not to get ahead of other but get ahead of ourselves. You are better today than yesterday.

“True wealth is of the heart not of the purse.”

Og Mandino

This quote means that money doesn’t make you wealthy. You can have more than a million dollars in your purse and still not be wealthy. Being wealthy is being happy about what is around you and how much you have succeeded. Wealth comes from the heart, not from inside your purse. You have to be happy with you have to be wealthy. Money may not always bring you happiness, it may bring you down and you may struggle more and won’t be wealthy

Reflection: I wouldn't want to pursue a career in this. It doesn't catch my attention and seems like a difficult job. I am not really a school person so going to school for an additional 9 years; I would not be able to make it. It pays really well but it is not for me. 

“Real wealth is not so much what we have as what we are.”

Sterling W. Sill

This quote means that you can be the richest person but wealth  comes from being a good person. People confuse rich with wealth. Having money and being wealthy are two different types of things. Being wealthy is being happy with yourself and being a good person. Money doesn't determine whether you are wealthy. It’s by showing who you are as a person. That is where real wealth comes from. For example, the people with the least amount of money can be the wealthiest people because they are happy with what they have and are grateful. They are also really good and generous people even though they don’t have much to give.  In other words, wealth is not what we have but who we are.

Picture

Reflection:
          This career does not draw to my attention. I would not want to become an acupuncturist.  This is not something of my interest. I wouldn't want to stick needles into someone else. This job is a bit scary because you are sticking needles into someone and if an accident happens who knows what may happen to the patient. It pays a really good salary but this job is not for me. 

" You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible."

Ezra T. Benson

             To me this quote means that doing something wrong isn't right. you can't go out and commit a crime and feel right about it. that will be on your conscious for a long time. None has ever done something wrong and felt good about it. they may have felt great at the moment but after a while passes they feel guilty and regret what they have done. You choice whether or not to do wrong. If you do wrong you wont feel right and you will have no one else to blame but yourself. The only thing to do to feel good is to do right.
