“Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong even if everyone is for it”

William Penn

This quote means that things may sometimes be wrong even though it’s something right. And that if it is wrong than it will stay wrong. You may sometimes think that something is right when people are all for it but sometimes in reality it’s wrong. For example, at school nobody would want to have uniform but there is that one person that is for it. The rest of the people are wrong even though they think its right and they have everyone on their side. So that would be that right is right because the rest of the people are doing the wrong. Even though sometimes you will be standing alone but at least you know that right is right and that the rest of the people are wrong. Another example would be at home when you try to help but it ends up being wrong and you think its right even though you did it on purpose. You may think that its right to damage something but it’s not it’s wrong because it is nothing good that you are doing.You would need to know when something is right and is wrong because yuo could only be affecting yourself.Even if everyone is against it then you know that you are right and them others will look like fools. But when its wrong when everyone is for it then you would need to change that.

"Don't sacrifice what you want most for what you want now. Write down what you want most and see it often"

Peter Vidmar

This quote means that you need to write down what you want more that way you could be like pushing yourself that way you could accomplish it. Don't try to get what you want most now because then it might not happen. You first need to see the progress in order to reach that goal and get what you want. Like Peter said you should write it down and set that goal that way you could be reminded each day what you want and be able to reach that goal. When you write down a goal you could see all the hard work you are doing and at the end it will pay off all you did. For example, if your goal is to go to college then write that goal down that way you could be reminded each day that you have to work hard in order to get where you want to be. The hard work will pay off, you just need to put in the work and be determined and then soon you will be happy of yourself that you want. If you sacrifice it for what you want now you wan't be able to accomplish it because you can't just finish school the next day. Work hard for what you want, especially write it down that way you know when you want to work hard for.You will see yourself achieving it each day.

Choosing a good name

“A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.”

Proverbs 22:1

This quote means that it is good to have a good to have a good reputation because when people hear your name they would know good things about you. It’s good having a name than riches because having money doesn’t make you a good person. When you do bad things people would only know you by the only bad you’ve done and none of the good. It’s like if you ruin your reputation because you never do anything good to anyone. You will most likely not be able to change that. For example, at school they already know your name whether you smart, athletic, a trouble maker, etc. When people have a good name they are most likely to succeed. Thy are known for always being good and have a good reputation and they don’t even have all the riches. When you have a bad name then you will probably not be able to succeed unless you try to change that.  It’s not good being known to have a bad name because people will just think bad about you. It’s important and good that you have a good name than having the riches.

Mark Victor Hansen

Setting goals is important and helpful because that helps you achieve new things and you are able to do good things about yourself. Goals will help you with be more successful as long as they believable and you know you will be able to accomplish.

Columbus Day

       Columbus day is a day when they celebrate when a man Christopher Columbus came and discovered  what he called a “new world” on October12,1492. This day is to celebrate his achievements and the heritage. At first Christopher Columbus was to sail out to India in the western sea route but he ended up going to and landing in the Bahamas. He was the first European man to explore the Americans. Columbus thought that he was in China and Other times in Japan and India but in reality he was in in Cuba and all these other countries. Columbus was so excited for all that he found and went back to Spain showed the king and queen all the goods he found like gold and other spices that they didn’t have in their country. He had even found people there which he called “Indians” but they were actually Native Americans. He found and discovered new things but he wasn’t the first one to be there.

Reflection: My thoughts about this is that he shouldn’t get that much credit for what he did because he wasn’t the first one to discover this land because Native Americans were already living here. All he did was take things way from this land and he got all the credit. Also, since he “discovered” it, it caused more people to want to come here and fool the people on this land and make them dissappear.

Obedience

"When obedience becomes our goal, it is no longer an irritation; instead of a stumbling block, it becomes a building block"

James E.Faust

This quote means that when your dong the right thing then its like a building block because its like your doing something good which is being obedient. When your doing something wrong that is no good then its a a stumbling block because it is something that won't do anything good for you or anyone else. Its like you failing on doing something right because you keep on choosing the wrong. For example, when you are told to do something because a adult told you too then the right thing is to obey and be able to do what you are told and it becomes a building block. When you choose to not not obey and take it as a irritation then its a stumbling block because it is just going to bring you no good. This quote is proven to show how things are wrong or right because when you do something good then its like your building up ad becoming a good person. Doing or choosing the wrong thing will just be a stumble block that will remind you of the negative things. Also, it would just show what kind of person you are and it would be another mistake of yours. When you do the right thing and obey than you will be building blocks. Its better to build them than to be stumbling all around them.

"We learn to do by doing"

Spencer W. Kimball

This quote explains how the only way you could learn things is by by doing them first and trying it out. Doing them is the only way you could actually be able to do something you have never done and just be able to try something new. You shouldn't be scared in trying something new because the only way by doing it properly is by actually trying to do it properly. For example, if your trying to learn how to ride a bike, the only way you will be able to do it is if you try and that's the way you will learn how to do things. Something i want to learn how to do is being successful. The only way i will be able to accomplish that is by trying new things and taking in opportunities that will help me be what i want. This quote helps others realize that the only way to be able to learn something is by only trying and giving it a chance. Just because you may feel like you can't do it doesn't mean you should give up on it and never be ale to learn something. Always try to learn things you've never done , that could help you want to learn other things. There is a chance it could also get you out of your comfort zone and be able to learn new things because if you don't then your not even trying.
