" If you do what's right. if you live the right way, you'll be taken care of."

-Rachael Castillo

 Living life right has many pros, such as not worrying if something bad will happen to you. You won't live with fear or guilt within you. When you live choosing the right, you are way happier and positive about everything. I think this quote means that it's kind of like Karma, when you do something good/right, you get something positive in return. If you live life making bad desicions then you kind of have negative things coming your way. Doing whats right is way better because you get to enjoy life. Sometimes doing whats right might have some consequenses, such as telling the truth and accepting it. Even tho you might get into trouble its always better tochoose the right and never try to do wrong.

GoalPosts in Life

" In life as in football, you won't go far, unless you know where goalposts are."

-Arnold H. Glasgow

I understand this statement because of how Mr. Haymore explained it to us. I think that this is great because we need to make goals for ourselves to keep up motivated and going on with life. If we dont have goals then it's stopping us from achieving different things such as being happy and being successfull. If you don't make goals you won't have something to look foward to and you'll be choosing the wrong. When we make goals for ourselves, we start finding way to get there, just like in football, you try go as far as you can. There may be obstacles but if you put your mind to it, you can achieve it.

Popular Right

"What's right, isn't always popular. What's popular isn't always right."

- Albert Einstein

This statement is so true. I think a lot of teens need to know this because our generation is very weird now. The kids think smoking and drinking is right because they see everyone else doing it. Sometimes the right thing isn't what everyone else is doing. It doesn't matter if you're the only one doing it, if you're doing what is correct, you're choosing the right. I agree with Albert Einstein because most things we have been doing now are popular but we haven't been choosing the right. I think that what we need to do is teach everyone the Popular Rights

Ben Carson

" I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and i can change that. It depends upon how hard i want to work, and i decided that i would change it."

Dr. Ben Carson

Reflection: This statement is so strong. I think that because you might hate something, not knowing you can change that. If you want something, you need to work hard for it.I think that when you want something or are tired of the same thing, you want to make a change in your life. That change will only come when you're determined to work a lot harder for whatever it is you want.

" You can't be right by doing the wrong, you cant be wrong by doing right."

- Thomas S. Monson 

Reflection : I think that this statement is very true. I agree with him because you can never be right by doing wrong. Doing wrong means you'll end up wrong and be doing other wrong things. You cant be wrong by doing right. So either you do something right and you are right, or you do something wrong and you're wrong. I don't think that you could ever be wrong when you do something right because you're not doing anything wrong.There is no right in doing wrong because all you're doing is living life in a negative way. For example

Enthusiasm

"Enthusiasm makes the difference."

- Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

Reflection: After watching the short Winnie The Poo clip, I understand this statement and i say i agree. I agree with Dr. Norman Vincent Peale because enthusiasm does make the difference. You're either really motivated and in good moods or you don't feel like doing it. I think that for a lot of us, school and work has us kind of stressed out. When we want to get things done but we don't have positive energy. We dont have enthusiasm to get the job done. If we did, we would motivate ourselves and do whatever we have to do. For example, Ana is really motivated by herself because she wants to get good grades and she would do whatever to achieve it. Alexa, on the other hand, doesn't think she needs it so she sits back and relaxes. You get things done when you are full of enthusiasm.
