"In life as in football, you won't go far, unless you know where the goalposts are"-Arnold H. Glasgow

Image
This quote means that if you don't have goals you won't go anywhere. You goals can be as small as losing 5 pounds in a week or they can be as big as i want go graduate college. You have to want something for it to happen. If you don't try to do anything nothing is going to happen, goals will help you achieve things. An example of this is when you have a goal you will want to achieve, and that goal will occupy yourself so you can achieve greater things.  You have to work hard for things and without things you have nothing to work for. Your goals have to be realistic and things that will be good for you. Even if you have no strive for things, goals will hep you to get that determination for life. You can start out small then you go up and achieve more. You have to try because you will get nowhere if you don't try.

"Only those live who do good."- Count Leo Tolstoy

Image
This quote means that those who do good will experience what life really is, not those who do bad. An example of this is when you don't steal you will live life to it's full extent, but if you steal you will only go through the motions of life. You will be happy and see more things if you do good. But if you do bad you can't be happy and you can't see everything life has to offer. That's why you have to do good 24/7 because it will open up more options for you in life. Doing bad will only prevent you from doing things and that's no fun. Doing good will benefit you all the way through life, you will be happier and enjoy it more. If you do bad you won't be happy and you won't see life like others do. You have to look at life in positive way and the only way to do that is to do good. Doing bad will not help you in any way, so why do it?

"What's right isn't always popular. What's popular isn't always right."- Albert Einstein

Image
This quote means that doing the popular thing doesn't matter, because most likely it will be wrong. You can't let "oh but everyone is doing it" be your answer every time. Like drinking, you shouldn't be pressured to drink because you want to seem cool, if they complain then oh well, it your body they don't make the choices. An example of this is when you are at a party and people are trying get you to drink, if you seem "cool" and drink you'll be affecting your body. People focus on trying to be popular that they don't realize that being popular doesn't matter later on in life. Some people have a different idea of fun, that excludes drinking or smoking. If you pressure people into doings things your not letting them choose for themselves, it their body so you shouldn't choose what they put in it. And if people think you "can't hang" then that's their problem, you shouldn't care what they think. I don't enjoy

Salem Witch Trials

Image
SALEM WITCH TRIALS I chose this topic because it has been interesting to me for a long time. I love this topic and i could talk all day long about it. The Salem Witch Trials began in 1692, a young group of girls accused a women of being a witch. People started to freak out, the reason they believed it was probably because when women act independently it seems like the devil has came. The first convicted was  Bridget Bishop,she was hanged in June. In September 1962 the chaos turned into to trials. Bitterness began to spread all over town and soon everyone was on alert. In January 1692, a 9 and 11 year old began having fits, Tituba, there slave, was accused of this.

Flu

Image
There is a flu going around that has caused more than 3 people to die. The flu is being spread like a regular flu(EX:sneezing, coughing,etc.)The doctors say that there are three possible reasons why this happening. One is the flu is connecting with another germ, another is that if the victim had heart disease or asthma that could have effected them, and the third is a so-called cytokine storm, its when the immune system is overwhelmed by the infection. A 10 year old, a 4 year old, and a 21 year old died because of this flu. People say it might be like the "Spanish Flu" that happened in 1918, it killed over 50 million people. Researchers have gone back and check the tissue samples, but most of the women and men that have died is more likely affected by the cytokine storm.

"Even if everyone is doing it, WRONG IS NEVER RIGHT."- Russell M. Nelson

Image
This quote means that because everyone is doing it doesn't make it okay for you to do. For example if you see other people cheating, you think "Oh, everyone is doing it so it's okay" so you cheat too, but your fate sealed when you cheat. You might get to the point where you cheat almost every time you have a test, you will end up getting caught. Everyone might be doing something but for you do it too just makes you a follower and you want to be leader. You can choose to ignore them and let them deal with there own problems or you can be a follower and possible set yourself up for destruction. You make your own decisions and you shouldn't let others influence you. Following others most of the time only leads you bad things, because you can't let others control your life. I prefer to be a leader since i don't want to be someone i am not by following other people. Another example is drugs, alcohol, and smoking, it can affect you if you fall into peer pressure

"You can't be right by doing wrong; you can't be wrong by doing right"- Thomas S. Monson

Image
This quote means that right and wrong have their effects and you can't change that. For example, you can't do right if do drugs and you can't do wrong if you don't use drugs. If you do bad there is no way that it will end right, that's not how it works. But if you do good it can never end up badly. That's why you might as do good because if you do bad there is no way you can escape your fate. If you do good you won't feel anxious because you are afraid people will find out what you did. Doing bad will make you feel worried about other things that you can't concentrate on one thing. Doing bad will effects everything, it will change your fate for the bad. So instead of going through that just do good, and you will never have anything worry you. Doing good will make you life better and make you a better person.    

The Harmful Effects of Marijuana

Image
Although marijuana might make you feel good it has some long term effects is use it often. It can lead to depression, anxiety and  schizophrenia, it also puts you at risk for a heart attack since marijuana raises your heartbeat. But there are also short term effects like memory loss, mood swings and difficulties problem solving. 33% of teens have already tried marijuana. Which seems crazy since some of them can be very young. People make videos to show what really happens to your brain and your body, and also share real life experiences. Those type of videos tend to inform people more so of what marijuana can do to you. I promise to never use marijuana,ever,regardless of what society says.

"Enthusiasm makes the difference"- Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

Image
This quote means that putting a little spring in your step can go the long way. When you are happy all the time you tend to look at life in a good way people might want to hang out with you. But if you are always sad you think life is a bad thing and not many people might nor hang out with you. You don't have to be super happy, but if have a little enthusiasm it can change your world. I am always happy, at least i try to be, because i know my enthusiasm can make people smile. Making other people smile is something i like to do, because i know a smile can make a difference. If you look at life and don't do anything your life will past by fast that your realize it's too late. If you look at life in a good way life will be good, but if you look at life in a bay way life will be bad. It's your decision to chose who your are going to be. Are you going to be an Eor or a Tigger.

"I wasn't trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right."- Dean Smith

Image
This quote means that he wasn't there for the fame, he was there just to do what was right. He had so many wins and yet he didn't want it to seem like it was only him, he wanted the whole team to be recognized. Not many people are like that these days, sometimes people do it to become more famous and don't care if it was right. He was very humble, he gave everything he had but wanted nothing back. He just wanted to make men out of his players and make everyone proud. I believe if you are that humble you have achieved in life. People should strive to be that humble because if everyone was humble we would have less problems. An example of this is when you give your friend a present but you don't want anything back. Sometimes people just do it because it is the right thing to do. Being humble isn't something you can get it's something you learn by experience.

"It's not about how to achieve your dreams. It's about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the RIGHT WAY, the karma(good results, destiny, fortune, good luck) will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you" - Dr. Randy Pausch

Image
This quote means that leading the right life will bring nothing but good things to your life. Leading the right life means that being positive and attempting to make your dreams to come true. You can't be sad all your life, and you can't be mad when you don't get what you want. You have to live your life like it's your last because time will pass and you will not have a second chance to achieve your dreams. And your dreams don't have to do with school they could be that you want to go to Hawaii. You have be positive and believe you can do it because that little belief might change your whole world. You can't underestimate what belief can do to someone. Leading you life correctly has so many good things following it. That's why you have to do it. Because you have to live correctly.                                              

School Break Days

Image
I spent most of my time in bed, but i did spend some time with my family. I went out to eat with my grandparents, which i enjoyed since they live in another city. I saw jumanji, the movie was really good. I went to little Tokyo with my friends and i also went to city walk with them. For Christmas i got perfume, clothes, a gift card, a Polaroid camera, and 50 dollars. I went to the rose parade with my cousin. I bought new clothes for this semester. I was sick the first week of vacation so the beginning was boring. I spent Christmas with my family and we went to go eat at china town. I enjoyed my time with my family since most of the time we were all resting. I wished i had more one more week of vacation since it went by so fast. But i am glad i sped time with my family.
