"Always do right"
-Mark Twain

I agree with this statement completely. You should always do the right thing, at any time, anywhere you are. It doesn't matter where you are or at what time, because people will always appreciate what you are doing right. Simple things like saying "thank you" or "Please" helps you accomplish this. And people will always be thankful for this. You can help spread good in our society by doing this also. If you help somebody, they might help someone else, and that person may help someone else, and it is a huge chain reaction. The only problem is, what people consider right. Some people thing cussing is HORRIBLE, but some people don't really care about it. Country can also be a big problem, as maybe some words or some actions that are considered wrong in one place, might not be so much in another. But you should follow what you have been taught and adapt.

Student Success Statement.

"Associate yourself with people of good quality, for it's better to be alone than in bad company."

I don't necessarily agree with the statement, but I don't disagree either. I do think that associating yourself with good people is good and overall better, but I don't think being alone is always better than being in bad company. Sometimes people feel the need to be someone, and sometimes they are alone and some even fall into psychological illnesses like depression. I also think that if you fall into their problems it is your fault, as you didn't have the will to say no to that. It is not harder to befriend good people than to befriend bad people, so I don't understand why you would be in bad company. But those are my thoughts, people may not agree with me but... yeah.

Thanksgiving Week

Hi, so this is a blog about how my Thanksgiving Break went. I didn't do much, but I'll go by each thing in the list and mark it of.  I did not do much out of the ordinary during this week. I didn't go anywhere out of town. I also didn't see any family or friends during thanksgiving  because of this. I did not really meet any new people either. I didn't watch any new movies or any movie for that matter. I didn't really play any sports. I didn't watch any sports games either. I didn't really have any good or cool CTR experiences. I didn't read any books either, because I already had read my Independent Reading Assignment book. I did some science homework though! I didn't have any other kind of homework so I had nothing else to do.  I didn't really have an interesting thanksgiving but I'm grateful for at least getting a chance to have thanksgiving.

Gratitude

"Develop the attitude of gratitude"
-Thomas S. Monson

I completely agree with this post. You should always be thankful for the blessings you receive every single day. Not only be thankful on Thanksgiving, but being thankful everyday for this life that has been given to us. Being thankful for all the things we have, big or small. Being thankful is also very life improving, as it makes you more positive. It gives you something to be always thinking about. It helps you CHOOSE THE RIGHT. It makes you a better person. It makes people around you feel better and also have gratitude. Gratitude is contagious, as if you are grateful, people around you will be grateful towards you and, slowly but surely it will affect their daily life and make them grateful. Something small like saying, thank you, could make you a much better person.

Questions to success.

1. Can people trust me to do what is right?
2. Am I committed to doing my very best?
3. Do I treat people the way I want to be treated?  

"If the answers to these questions are YES, there is no way you can fail."
- Lou Holtz

First of all, I don't know if this is actually what he says, because Mr. Haymore showed us the video of Lou Holtz saying something like this but with different words. So I don't know if he actually said that or not. Anyways, I think I do apply these questions in my day to day life. I also believe that they are very important. I do believe that if you apply these rules or questions to your daily life you will be successful. If everyone did these rules, the world would be a much better place. Then again, it is impossible for the whole world to abide these rules. The world is horrible and will most likely never change drastically, but if we do our best to change, we might accomplish something. But everyone must contribute to these and if you do it will also help yourself. People will like you more and trust you in everything you do. In conclusion, I do believe that this quote is true and that everyone should apply it do their life.

Physical Fitness S.S.S.

"Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. Intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong."- John F. Kennedy

 I somewhat agree with this statement. The reason I don't fully agree is because I do believe that if you exercise, it will improve you, but that doesn't mean that all the more fit people are smarter than other people. For example, a normal high school student can be smarter than a high school football player, and not because he's more fit, but he is just smart. Just because someone does sports, it doesn't mean that they're the smartest people around. But I do agree that doing sports will improve your overall well being. It can also further improve your intelligence. Some times there are people that are not very "fit" and easily outperform "fit" people when doing high intellect required tasks. It doesn't mean that the smart person is fit, he is just smart and he could probably do better if he were actually fit. Then again, this is my opinion, and not everybody is going to agree with me, and I can easily be wrong.

Kindness is NOT the essence of greatness

"Kindness is the essence of greatness."
-Joseph B. Wirthlin

I do not agree with this statement. I do think that kindness is very important but I don't believe that is "is the essence of greatness." Some people are great at something they do, and they are not kind. For example, there are celebrities or sports players, who are recognized as being great, or people consider that they have greatness, and are the complete opposite of being kind. Some hate their fans, some do whatever they can to stay away from their fans and don't acknowledge them. They do this even though the reason of them being considered to have greatness is their fans. But I still believe that kindness is the essence of being a great person. It could be said that it is the essence of being a great human being, but not of greatness as a whole. Then again this is all in my opinion. I know not everybody may agree with me, but I want to give my actual opinion on these topics.

I Don't know

Hi. What do we do if we don't know what to do? I'll just put some dog pictures.

I don't know what to write about. I don't know what we are doing.I don't know why I am doing this. I don't want to do this. But it counts for my grade. I think. I don't know. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT.
