“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.”

-Thomas Carlyle

What this quote is saying is that if you do not have any of your goals written down, or you do not know what you are doing, then you will be lost like a boat. For example, a boat must need a rudder so that it can be able to guide to the boat to a destination. If someone decides to go somewhere, but they do not know what they are doing, then they will be lost. To add on, it can also relate with a relationship. If no one is putting effort to the relationship, then that is like a ship without rudder. It will go nowhere, and they will get lost and hurt. As you can see, this is why this quote is very important. It can be literally or figuratively. To add on, this quote is also saying that if you do not have any goals, then you will not have anything to accomplish, or anywhere to go. This is why this quote is very important, because it teaches us to always have a goal, or destination, to know where we want to go in life, and not be lost. This is why this quote is very important.

Memorial Day Weekend

This memorial day weekend I went to Six Flags. It was my first time and I was more than scared. We all woke up early so that we won’t get stuck in traffic, but we did.The first ride that I went on was a big one with a big drop. At the drop, I screamed my lungs out. After that, we went to more rides. Every time we were waiting in line for a ride, I was nervous, but I would then get over it. We then ate, and waited a little bit to get on more rides. Although it was hot, it was fun because I went with my two friends, and we were able to spend time together. It was a fun experience. We also took many pictures.That was on Monday. On Saturday, one of my dad’s friends came to visit us. It was fun because they made food and we were able to spend time together. On Sunday, I completed my essay. It took me a lot of hours, so when I was done, I was relieved. It was a 10 paragraph essay. After that, I decided to watch The Vampire Diaries. It is a really good show. A movie that I saw over the Memorial Day weekend was scream. This was my Memorial Day weekend, and although I did not do much, it was pretty fun.

   

“When a deep injury is done to us, we never recover until we forgive.”

-Alan Paton

What this quote means to me is very true. I believe that you should always forgive, because if you do not, then you will be holding a grudge. It will stay with you forever, and you will always be thinking about what you could had done to change it, but what you didn’t do. A very good example of this is like the one that we saw in class, where the woman was able to forgive that guy, because she knew that if she did not, then she will not be living in peace. To add on, another example can be if someone has done something to harm you before. They may feel guilty after, because they know that they did the wrong thing. You should forgive them, because they feel sorry for what they made you go through. You should be able to forgive, to be able to recover, because the only way that we will recover fully is if we forgive, so that is very important. If you do not forgive, then you will live with the thought everyday of your life, knowing that you should had forgiven the person. This is why this quote is very important, because it is able to teach us things such as forgiving. If we forgive, then we will live in peace and happiness, and not live holding a grudge.

“Dare to do right.”

- Rex D. Pinegar

What this quote is telling us is always do what is right. It is daring us to doing what is right, instead of wrong. For example, if you get dared to do drugs or something, then you should have the courage to say no. you should say that that is not the correct, and not do it. You should stand up for yourself, and dare to do the right. Another example can be hurting someone, either emotionally or physically. Maybe you are dared to harm someone, but you should not do it. You should not do it because that is the wrong thing to do. Just like this quote says, you should do the right, and have the courage to stand up for yourself. This is why I think that this quote is very important, because it is daring us to doing the right, and that is what we should always do. We should always choose the right, and be a ctr person, instead of a ctw person. This is why I believe that this quote is very important, and it teaches us to doing what is right. There are many more examples, of doing what is right, but these were just a few. We should all be dared to doing what is right, and that way, there will be many more good people in the world. This is why this quote is important.

“Dare to stand alone.”

- Thomas S. Monson

This quote is short but very important. The reason why is because it tells you to do what is right, even though it means standing alone. You should stand alone because you know it’s the right thing to do. For example, if someone tells you to do drugs with them, then you should not. You should say that it is the wrong thing to do, and refuse to do it. You should stand up for what is right. You should do the correct thing, even if it means that you will get made fun of. Another example can be if a group of people say to ditch class. You should stand up and say that it is not right. You should tell them that they come to school to learn, and not be ditching. Even if they all disagree with you, you need to stand up for what is right. Even if you are standing alone. Many people may be scared of standing up, and standing alone, because they may think that they will get judged. To add on, they may think that they will get made fun of, for choosing the right choice, so they do not stand up for what is right. They do not dare to do it, like this quote says. This is not correct because you need to always do what is right, and not care if anyone makes fun of you. You should always make the correct choices. This is what I think this quote means, and why it is very important.

“If I’ve got correct goals, and if I keep pursuing them the best way I know how, everything else falls into line. If I do the right thing right, I’m going to succeed.”

-Dan Dierdorf

What this quote means to me is that you always have to keep your goals, and accomplish them. If you have many goals, and you accomplish them, then everything falls into line, just like this quote says. To add on, if you always do what is right, then that means that you will succeed. This is why it is important to always do what is right. For example, if you actually study for a test, and you do not cheat, then that is doing what is right, and that will make you succeed.

Phillip Riggs

1. Work hard
2. Follow your passions. Do things you are interested in doing.
3. Don’t chase after money.
4. Serve others. Do good things for others, and good things will come to you.

-Phillip Riggs

What the first success statement means to me is that you should always work hard for anything that you want. You should never give up, because that shows that you are not hard working. For example, if you have a really hard test that you need to study for, then you should study, and not give up. You should study until you know that you are prepared, and you should not give up. If you do give up, then you will get a bad grade because you are not trying. What the second success statement means to me is that you should always follow your dreams. You should do what makes you happy, and not others. You should follow your passions, because that is what makes you happy, and what you know you want to do forever. What the third success statement means is that you should never do anything just for money. For example, you should not just get a random job, that pays a lot, rather than your dream job. You should not do it for the money, and this is what it means by not chasing after money. You should do something because you want to, and because it makes you happy, not because of the money. If you do it for the money, then you will be unhappy. The last success statement means that you should always do good things. The reason why is because if you do good things for others, then good things will happen to you. On the other hand, if you do bad things to others, then bad things will happen to you. Karma will get you. For example, if you steal money, then it will go back to you. You may not know it, but you may get your money stolen or something, and that is because you did something bad, so know that will happen to you. This is what i think that each of them mean, and why they are so important.

"The most important thing you will ever have is good values."

 -Dennis Prager

What this quote means is that you should always have good values. The reason why is because it is the most important thing you will every have. The reason why I think this is because having good values makes you yourself, and it makes you a ctr person. On the other hand, having bad values does not make you a ctr person, it makes you a ctw person. The reason why is because if you have bad values, then that means that you are disrespectful, and not trustworthy. This is why i think that having good values is important, because it will make you a great person. For example, if you want to eat junk food, and you think about the consequences, such as getting obese and health problems, and you do not do it, then that is having good values. Instead you eat a salad. The reason why this is having good values is because you decided to do something that will not harm you, and instead you did what was right, and you did not do it. This is why I believe that this quote is important. To add on, another example can be if you are deciding on whether or not you should do your homework, or be on your phone. You are tempted, but you know that if you do not do your homework, that you will be behind. So you decide to do what is right, and you do homework. That is the right thing to do, and that shows that you have good values, because you are doing something that is right, and not incorrect. This is why this is important to know. 

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.”

-Theodore Roosevelt

This quote is very important because it is telling us how you should always do the right thing at all moments. You should always be honest and truthful. To add on, if you always do the right thing, it will make you a ctr person, while doing the bad thing will make you a ctw person. This is why it is important to do the right thing at all moments. For example, if you see an elderly person dropping something, then you should help pick it up. You should not even hesitate and think if you should help or not. You should help the person, because it is the right thing to do, and they may be having trouble picking it up. It would be a wrong choice if you did not help pick it up, because that is disrespectful. It is the right thing to help others, and it is the wrong to not help. Another example would be if someone dropped their money, and they did not notice. The right thing to do is give them back their money, because it belongs to them. To add on, another reason why you should always do the right thing is because if you do something good, then it will pay off later. On the other hand, if you don’t do the right thing, then it will come back to you. This is why I believe that this quote is very important, and it is so true. It also teaches many things. This is what I think the quote means.

“Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong.”

-Wilford Woodruff

What this quote is saying is something very important. It is saying that is you do something wrong, then nothing good will be gained from that. For example, if you decide to cheat on a test, then you will gain nothing from that. You will just be a person that can not be trusted, and you will be dishonest. To add on, another example can be while playing a game. If you decide to cheat on a game, then you will not be a ctr person. You will gain nothing from cheating. It is going to take you nowhere, because you will not be trusted. One example to show that doing what is right can take you places is in school. If you always try your best, then you will get very far. On the other hand, if you never try in school, and you are always doing what is wrong, and you are always ditching, and you do not care about school, then that will take you nowhere. If you do this, that is wrong, and it will take you nowhere. The reason why is because when you apply to universities, they will see that you are a ctw person, and that you do not try at all. They then will not accept you, because you are doing what is wrong, and not trying. As you can see, you will gain nothing if you do what is wrong. On the other hand, if you do what is right, such as always doing good in school, they will see that you have a bright future ahead, and accept you. Doing what is right will gain you a lot of this, meanwhile doing what is wrong will not gain you anything. This is why this quote is true, and very important to know about.

"It's A GREAT MOMENT when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time."

-Pam Knox

I agree with this quote because it is true that you should always do the right thing at the right time, because that is just the correct thing to do. To add on, it will make you a ctr person if you always do right. On the other hand, if you never do what is right, then that will make you a ctw person. That is not correct because it will make you a person that is disrespectful. For example, if you see that someone cheated in a game, then you should say so. The reason why is because it will not be correct to stay quiet. You should say what happened, because that is what correct. One the other hand, if you do not say what happened, then that means that you will also be cheating, because you saw what happened, but did not say anything. This is why it is very important to always do and say what is right at the right time, instead of staying quite. In Conclusion, it is very important, and that is why I think that this quote is very important. It will help you be a great person.

"I have been asked what I mean by 'word of honor.' I will tell you: Places me behind prison walls-walls of stone ever so high, every so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground- there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw chalk line around me and have my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of that circle? No, never! I'd die first." 

- Karl G. Maeser

What this quote means to me is to always keep your word. The reason why you should always keep your word is because if you do not, then you might end up hurting someone. For example, if you decide to keep a promise for someone, but then later break your word and promise, then you will end up hurting the person. To add on, it is important that you always keep your word, because then people will know you as a liar. This is why it is important to always keep your word, such as Karl G. Measer, and not break it. In addition, he was a person that was very well honored, and the reason why is because he always kept his word. This is also very important, because if you keep your word, then many people will know that you are respectful, and responsible. On the other hand, if you never keep your word, and always break your promises, then you will be know as disrespectful, and not responsible. This is also important because always keeping your word makes you a ctr person. The reason why is because you are truthful. If you do not keep your word, then you will be known as a ctw person. This is why this quote is really important.
