Goodness

Goodness

“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”

-Henry David Thoreau

What i think this quote is trying to say is that when you do good a lot it will never fail you you will always get something in return like a feeling that you’ve done something right. Henry David was an American author, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor and historian and i'm sure this man knows what is right this man fought for people right he took a stand. What this man is trying to say that if you do something good you will get something good in return and you will always feel good about it.

Right

“My basic principle is that you don't make decisions because they are easy; you don't make them because they’re popular; you make them because they are right.”

-Theodore Hesburgh

What this quote means is that you don't make decisions because is the fastest and popular way to get there but because they are right. Furthermore don't take the easy way out do what is right don't cheat when you can play fair because it always comes back to you in the end. Choosing what is right is always the best thing to do even when it's the hardest thing to do you still have to do what is right

"Cheater"

Many think that the short term gain will be worth the long term pain, but it isn’t. In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse in sports than a cheater. Don't do it                                   -George Mitchell                                

I think that cheating is wrong because somebody has worked so hard for what you cheated for you ruin it for everybody. Later on it catches up to and for the rest of your life you're going to be known for a cheater and your reputation is ruined. Cheaters ruin all the fun for everyone because they don't play fair. When you cheat you're not only ruining it for others but you’re also ruining it for yourself because if you cheat off of someone else on a test you not learning it you cheating and later on that's going to affect you. When all you have to do is study do all your homework come to school everyday and be respectful you don't have to cheat that's not the right thing to do.

Ben Carson (Poverty)

Student Success Statement

A Choice: Poverty or Prosperity

"I hated Poverty.

Poverty is more of a

choice than anything 

else, and i can change

that (poverty). It 

depends upon how 

hard I want to work,

and I decided that I 

would change it."

What this quote means to me that education is key, poverty is temporarily if you make the right decisions and read more and invest more into yourself, In order to that you have to give up your free time, with friends, going to the arcade or the mall or just watching tv. To get things done you have to sacrifice something for the better these are one of the most important things to get out of poverty EDUCATION without that your no body. Ben Carson is a perfect example grew up in the slums and made something of himself  in order for him to do that he had to sacrifice now he's running for president i would vote for him if i was able to vote because he's actually experienced what poor people go through everyday and understands and he'll try to make it more easier for them to live not like Donald trump with his small loan of a million dollars he doesn't know what its like hes like another Hitler trying to get rid of the people who work the hardest.

Karma will Take care of itself.

Karma will take care of itself 

Student Success Statement

"Its not about how to achieve your dreams. its about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the RIGHT WAY, the karma (destiny, fortune, good luck) will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you."

-DR.Randy Pausch

I really like this quote from Randy if you live your life right even when evil comes knocking at your door stuff will go the way you want it to go. There is that saying you reap what you sol, meaning if you live your life good or bad it will all come back to you. Do what you love to do dont do what other people want you to do dont try to live the life that is not yours.

Fear

Fear

Student Success Statement 

I guess what hes trying to say if you do whats right you dont have nothing to fear. Fear is the lack of awareness of the other side. so i would sy do the right thing ansd you have nothing to be afraid of. Always do your best and you have nothing to worry about theres always going to be obstacles in your way and you have to go around them

THE 3 QUESTIONS:

Student Success Statement 

The 3 Questions:

1. Can people trust me to do the right thing? 

2. Am i commited to doing my very best?

3.Do I treat people the way I want to be treated?

REFLECTION: Can be people trust me to do the right thing. People can trust me to do the right thing because i always try to be trustworthy, because that shows what kind of person you are and your going to become. Nowadays it gets harder and harder to trust people because we are getting crazier and the world is coming to an end.

Am i commited to doing my very best. Yes i am commited for example my GPA was a 2.4 and i wanted at least a 3.0, so i turned in all my late-work did what i was supposed to do everyday and the report cards came and i was stunned my GPA was a 3.1. Overall i try to do my best in everything i do and dont give up fast.

Dont say it dont do it

Dont do it 

Dont say it 

Student Success Statement 

"If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true do not say it."

Marcus Aurelius 

 I have nothing to say other than to do the right thing when you do good good comes to you so i try my best to forgive and do good for peple and my self DO good onto others good will come onto you.

ANd if your thinking of saying something bad think of another way to say without getting into trouble, for example if you have a teacher you dont like and you want to curse at them just think of another way of saying you can choose not to be a victim or not

Today i was on the bus i caught this bus many times then one day i pressed the button to stop and he didnt stop so i told him he said i didnt look like i was ready to leave, at that point i wanted to tear him into a million pieces, but i controlled myself and said thats okay
